New Year Detoxification and Cleansing Plan

January 4, 2021

The New Year has arrived and typically brings New Year’s resolutions that include improving your health. One of the best ways to kick start new healthy habits is a New Year detox or cleanse. The physicians at Living Wellness Medical Center fully support starting the year off with great health. We expose ourselves to chemicals through air pollution, cosmetics, cleaning products, water, plastics, food, and more throughout the year. These build up in the body over the year and can affect your health. A New Year detox/cleanse is a great way to medically support the body to get rid of this chemical build-up and feel better. The doctors at Living Wellness can guide you through a medical detox/cleanse to improve your general health, help with weight, hormone control, inflammation, digestion, and many other concerns. 

Love your body.

Your Body Needs a Vacation

Our bodies are very well designed to eliminate toxins; however, this process can get bogged down with the number of environmental exposures we receive daily. Whether it’s from our food, from the air we breathe, the fluids we drink, or the amount of stress we are exposed to daily. Doing a cleanse gives your body a break. It’s like unplugging your computer or WiFi router or hitting the “refresh” button in your web browser.

Boost your Energy, Improve your Mood, and more!

Symptoms that we have found tend to improve after doing a detox/cleanse include:

  • Increased energy
  • Improved mood
  • Mental clarity and improved concentration
  • Clearer skin 
  • Improved blood circulation
  • Weight loss
  • Improved digestion
  • Hormone balance

What is a detox or cleanse?

The basic principle behind detoxification and cleansing is to remove the chemicals stored in your body that slow your metabolism, change your hormones, and affect your health. This is done by releasing chemicals from fat tissue, organs, and extracellular spaces that your body has been storing for years. Once they are released, they will re-enter the bloodstream and will be metabolized through the liver. This is where it is critical to support liver phase-one and phase-two detoxification pathways with naturopathic medicine. Next, the organs of elimination need to be supported to get the toxic byproducts produced from the liver out of the body. The doctors at Living Wellness can guide you through this process safely and effectively using naturopathic medicine treatment modalities. Education on avoiding the sources of chemicals in our food, air, water, and products is key to prevention. 

Improve your digestion

You have heard the phrase “you are what you eat,” but really, it is best to say, “you are what you eat, digest, and absorb.” Participating in a detox/cleanse can improve the digestive system. This includes the liver, the small and large intestine, the kidneys, and more. It can help support blood sugar regulation, bowel movement habits, and bacterial balance in the intestines. A large portion of our immune system activity starts in the gut. Although naturopathic physicians have been speaking for decades about the importance of gut health, modern research is beginning to support this as well. Gut health is connected to mental health, hormonal balance, chronic disease, and so much more. Heal the gut, and the body will follow!

Don’t wait to feel great!

Schedule now with any of the doctors at Living Wellness Medical Center for your New Year Kick Start Detox and Cleansing Program.

    I am so grateful to have met Dr. Watkins! It is not often that you meet a doctor that desires to get to the root of an issue AND genuinely cares. I am a detail-oriented person, and she recognized that and explained how things should function vs how things were functioning for me, all at a level that was easily understood with the right amount of technical information. Dr. Watkins is smart as well as intuitive – rather than throw prescriptions at me for individual ailments, she treats the overall body, connecting my various medical issues and guiding me through the process to healing. She is a breath of fresh air, and she makes it easy to talk to her about anything.

    My wife has seen Dr. Watkins since last year after having stomach issues. After her first visit with Dr. Watkins she had a plan of action. After the first couple of weeks of following her plan, she started noticing a big positive shift in her symptoms and after a few months, many of the issues had gone away. Above all, the support that she received from Dr. Watkins and Living Wellness has made all the difference. This place is truly a life-changing experience and has changed our perspective on healthcare. We love Living Wellness!

    I have been working with Dr. Olivia Watkins for over two years now. She is truly a partner in my ongoing health care. Her smart and inquisitive approach means that we get to the root cause of issues sooner with better results. She is open to alternative approaches and has laughed with me every step of the way. I am grateful for a health care provider that cares as much as Dr. Watkins does, I truly believe she has my best interests in mind.

    I began to see Dr. Watkins for some general Women's Health issues and she was incredible to work with. She helped my body become more balanced, pain was relieved naturally, and my body was prepared for a healthy pregnancy. She is kind, knowledgable, and very supportive!
