When We Have Trouble Taking Out Bad Habits...

If a person does not truly want to change their habits, they won’t. Often, my clients would prefer to add healthy choices into their lifestyle than take out the unhealthy ones. So, we do!

As a first step, to support excretion of the toxins that are being dumped into their bodies, we could add rice bran fiber or psyllium and probiotics to their diet. We can add the fiber to a drink in the morning (Thorne has an easy beverage mix and Now has psyllium husk powder) and take the probiotics in pill form (Garden of Life has a number of different probiotics based on gender and age). These two products don’t make real changes to diet, but can really help get the fat soluble toxins out of the system more effectively.

Once we get a little more excited about a real, healthy lifestyle change, we can start adding in vegetables and green tea. This adds chlorophyll and polyphenols to continue allowing us to dump the toxins from the system. Kale, sweet peppers, broccoli, and onion help us remove dioxins more quickly. We pick up dioxins from meat, fish, and dairy, making them a common toxin in the standard American diet.

After taking these steps, it would be great to move into a diet that will help detoxify and remove inflammation. Our nutrition and environment work together and against each other to keep us functioning optimally. It’s so important to understand that we are hindering ourselves by not giving our bodies the nutrients they need.
