A Guide to Toxin-Less living

Our bodies strive to be healthy, a process called homeostasis, every miraculous system in our body strives for this healthy state.  However, anything that enters the body, through inhalation (the air we breath), absorption (contact with our skin), or ingestion (food and drinks), if it can’t nourish the body, it is considered a toxin that must be eliminated.  Each toxin must be processed by the liver or kidney’s for excretion through bowel movements, sweat, or urine.  In theory, this is a miraculous process and works in perfect harmony. 

The challenge is, our environment has become so much more toxic then ever before. There are 40,000 more toxic chemicals today, then just 40 years ago. Toxins are prevalent in the air we breath (car smog, mold, vape fumes, fragrance, cleaning supplies), the products we apply (shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, hand soap) and the foods we ingest (non-organic foods, alchohal, wheat, soy, peanuts).

And when the toxin level, called toxic load, becomes to great for your detoxification system to handle, those toxins DON’T get excreted, they get stored in your cells. And that contributes to an abundance of problems (metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, leaky gut, obesity, heart disease, fatty liver, infertility, cancer, to name a few). So, one of the best ways to promote homeostasis, or stay healthy, is to reduce toxins and live Toxin – Less.
