Detox with your Doctor Kick Off

If you missed our Detox with your Doctor educational seminar last night, you missed a room of people, lots of questions and answers and most importantly what and why detox is so important to your overall health. Matt from Orthomolecular gave us a fantasitic presentation on the subject and we all learned a lot! One of the most interesting facts I learned was about the herbicide sprayed on crops by farmers, atrazine. Locally, it is so heavily used and is known to contribute to insulin resistance and obesity. I hadn't really thought about that before and it shed a new light on another way I could be getting toxins into my body causing all sorts of additional health concerns including, headaches, inflammation, joint and muscle pain, insomnia....and the list goes on and on.
Ok...so many of us are preparing to start our detox program together this Saturday, Jan. 21. Now is the time to start looking at the meal plan and making your grocery list of what you are going to eat. I find it helpful to highlight the foods on the list of allowed foods that I enjoy and use this as my grocery list. For me, it's imperative I create a menu for the week ahead of time so I have no added stress of wondering what I am going to eat and whether I have to make a trip to the grocery store or not. With such a busy schedule, if I don't prepare ahead of time, I set myself up for failure from the start and definitely extra stress. So....let's get ready and line up those meals and snacks that are Core Restore compliant and set ourselves up for success from the start!
