When patients come to me sick I often hear things like: ⠀
⠀
“I wish I understood the importance of eating healthy years ago.”⠀
⠀
or ⠀
⠀
“I wish I started working out when I was actually physically capable of doing so.”⠀
⠀
or⠀
⠀
“If I had done something sooner I probably wouldn’t be battling this illness right now.” ⠀
⠀
When I think of health as an investment, I think of:⠀
⠀
• Buying healthy foods and supplements to nourish your body.⠀
• Investing in quality water and air filters to rid your enviornment of toxins. ⠀
• Opting for toxin-free coockware to ensure you don't add to your bodies toxic burden. ⠀
• Always opting for organic to avoid unecessary and dangerous pesticides. ⠀
• Investing the time to move your body so it can work at its highest capacity. ⠀
⠀
So yes, it's an expense...but so incredibly worth it. Because the expense of not making your health a priority costs so much more.⠀
⠀
More money and more importantly, more lost time you can't get back.⠀
⠀
Don’t wait until it’s too late to make health a priority ⠀
⠀
START TODAY.⠀

⁣My sole mission as a Physician is to educate my patients and community about the toxins we face in today’s world, the connection between toxins and disease, and how to EFFECTIVELY protect the body against these potential threats to health. ⠀
⠀
The good news: your body is intelligently designed and already knows how to protect itself by detoxification. ⠀
⠀
However, we need to actively create conditions for the body to optimize its detoxification process...which is exactly what I’m going to discuss today. ⠀
⠀
You don’t always need fancy or extreme measures to support your bodies ability to detox. Below are 5 simple ways to naturally increase detox your body.⠀
⠀
🥬Eat detox supporting foods: Luckily, paleo diet plan helps you eliminate common toxins that are found in processed foods such as (food dyes, artificial sweeteners, preservatives and pesticides). In addition, you can also add in specific foods to help support detoxification. A few options are lemons, artichokes, bitter greens and other cruciferous vegetables.⠀
⠀
🍵Drink #greentea: It contains EGCG, a powerful polyphenol that supports the body’s ability to detoxify.⠀
⠀
💦Sweat: Toxins can leave your body through the skin via sweating. A higher intensity exercise is a great way because it really gets the blood flowing and contributes to deep breaths. Just as toxins leave your skin during exercise, they can also leave through your lungs by deep breathing.⠀
⠀
💧Hydrate: Maintaining good #hydration status supports the kidneys in being able to flush out toxins. Be sure to drink enough water so that your urine is clear. For many people this will look like 60-75 ounces of water, or more, each day.⠀
⠀
😴Sleep: Many body processes happen during sleeping hours, including detoxification through the glymphatic system, so getting enough, high quality #sleep each night is important for both daily detox and recovering from any toxin-related illness. ⠀

⁣Everyone thinks that fitness is just about having abs, nice glutes, or a perfectly sculpted pair of legs - but real fitness is about so much more than how you look in a bikini 🎯⠀
⠀
It’s about being able to play sports and spend quality time with your children on a beautiful Sunday, or attending a special event like graduation or their wedding day. It’s about confidence, self-love, and loving the skin you’re in. ⠀
⠀
With that said, here are just a few reasons you should make your fitness a priority. ⠀
⠀
⁣• Helps with lymph drainage and detox.⠀
• Improves circulation. ⠀
• Increases feel good hormones to promote well-being. ⠀
• Improves cognitive function ( aka makes your brain work better ) ⠀
• Helps combat depression and anxiety.⠀
• Helps reduce inflammation. ⠀
⠀
As you can see...the list of benefits are endless. Now you tell me, in what ways has fitness and exercise impacted your life? Would love to hear in the comment section below.⠀

⁣If you’ve ever started a weight loss program or have explored various dieting options, then I’m sure you’ve heard about two of the most common diets today: Paleo and Keto. ⠀
⠀
There are so many amazing testimonials and success stories about people improving their health, losing weight, and reaching their goals.⠀
⠀
However, a question I always get asked is, “how are they different?”⠀
⠀
So today I wanted to discuss the differences:⠀
⠀
The Paleo diet focuses on high protein and low carbs. This means no grains, sugar, dairy, and processed foods. Instead, it incorporates paleo-friendly foods like fish, meat, eggs, nuts (except peanuts), fruits, veggies, and healthy fats like avocados, coconut oil, cashew butter, almond butter, or sunbutter.⠀
⠀
The Keto diet’s principle is following a higher fat, low carb, moderate protein diet. This essentially means lots of fats like avocados, dairy, nuts, meat, cheeses, etc. It involves drastically reducing carb intake and replacing it with fat… this reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state known as Ketosis.⠀
⠀

It’s jam-packed with 18 grams of protein, antioxidants, vitamins and extracts that’ll kick your metabolism into high gear.... and right now is the perfect time to stock up because it’s 10% off and I’m offering FREE shipping (link in my bio!)⠀
