Detox Program

Why Do I Need to Detox?
In our industrialized world, we produce more and more potentially toxic compounds that find their way into the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. The body must rid itself of these dangerous substances by transforming and then excreting them through the lungs, skin, kidneys, and bowels. Unfortunately, not all of them get excreted efficiently—some are circulated back into the bloodstream and others are stored in various body tissues such as fat tissue. This is in part due to the increasing levels of toxins we are exposed to, and may be exacerbated by a lack of nutrients needed to fuel the detoxification process. Over the years toxins can build up in fat, joints, the brain, and various other tissues, potentially leading to a variety of health issues.

 

What is Detoxification?

The liver manages your natural detoxification process…it is the furnace filter of your body. Effective liver function can be compromised (blocked and clogged) by frequent and high exposure to toxins as well as a lack of nutrients to support the detox process. Over time, a buildup of toxins not only affects vitality, it can lead to health issues like chronic fatigue and pain syndromes. When you decrease your toxin exposure by “cleaning up” dietary and lifestyle choices, your liver naturally starts to rid itself of the excess toxins it has been storing within the liver, fat cells, and other tissue. Proper nutrition completes the cleansing process by processing and excreting the toxins from your body. The program details will be different for everyone. During the intro workshop, we help you to set your personal goals and create a realistic plan to succeed.

How does the Balance Healing Center detox work?

There are many types of detox programs that range from colon cleansing to fasting. We have spent the past few years researching and creating a detox that is simple to follow; realistic for those who love to eat; flexible to cater to a variety of dietary lifestyles; and most importantly affordable.

1) Professional Supervision

Your success can improve dramatically when you utilize all the resources available to you through Balance.
~ An in-depth tutorial to explain every detail of the program, which means less preparation and work for you. This is a required workshop on the Tuesday night prior to detox start (Wednesday is Day 1).
~ Every program is adjusted to properly suit individual health needs and goals.
~ Motivators, group support and professional support available throughout the entire program.

2) Targeted Nutrition

The program includes a powdered beverage mix to support metabolic detoxification, including “clean” protein, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Why do I need to take a supplement during a Detox? During periods of detoxification, certain nutrients are in increased demand to help turn toxic substances into harmless by-products for elimination from the body.

3) Eating Plan

This IS NOT a calorie restricted program. The heart (or stomach) of our detox program focuses on ingredient awareness and making better decisions. A modified elimination diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients reduces the allergen and toxin load, helping the body to detoxify efficiently. Balance provides one meal a day making it simple and easy to follow the program. We work with all local food vendors to support local businesses and keep costs low. You will be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to implement these healthy choices into daily life post-detox. There are 3 food pickups from Balance: at the required Tuesday intro workshop; the following Friday; and again on Tuesday.

4) Simple Exercise

Strenuous or prolonged exercise should be reduced during the program to allow your body to cleanse and rejuvenate more effectively.

5) Stress Management

Adequate stress reduction and sleep are important to the success of your program. Your body is recharging and regenerating—help it by getting adequate rest. As an added benefit, you receive 20% off any service (massage, acupuncture, facials and more) and free use of the sauna with any treatment during the program!
