Episode Summary:  For some, the term 'detox' has become a dirty word. It's no wonder that so many misleading products are making false claims on the market. The truth is, our bodies have been intelligently designed to perform detoxification naturally.  We all have innate mechanisms working day and night to help rid the body of harmful substances. However, our exposure to chemicals has increased faster than our ability to detox. This can cause a build of harmful chemicals in the body and lead to disease. For example, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, infertility, certain cancers, and mood disorders have all been associated with toxic overload.  If you haven't been feeling your absolute best, you may benefit from a detox.

There are two medical distinctions of toxicity, acute and chronic."  "The body's natural process for detoxification is done by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin."  "We are continually bombarded with various chemical and environmental toxins which can slow down the body's elimination process. Detoxification is about resting, cleansing, and nourishing the body from the inside out."
