As I sit here looking out at beautiful snow slowly melting, I cannot help but be reminded of this month’s theme. Yes, I know, you are thinking do they ever stop and just have fun over there at Energize? Truth is helping people live their best lives is fun for us, but also, I just came in from playing in the snow!

What made me think of detoxification while I was out having fun was the fact that what we see on the surface as the snow is falling is this pristine clean blanket. Once we step out into it however, we leave tracks that blemish that blanket. Then, as we kick up the snow while playing and have our fun, the snow is no longer pristine, now there is the mud and dirt from the underlying layers that come to the surface. We see how what lies beneath the snow doesn’t go away when we cover it up, but rather it is there waiting to get to the surface for us to do something about it. 

This is a great metaphor for how toxins remain in our system even when think we are doing a good job of cleaning up our diet and our lifestyle. Until we get to the underlying layers and get the deep clean done, we risk having those toxins rise to the surface and interfere with our nice clean lifestyle. Many seemingly healthy people are shocked to find just how toxic their system is since we are exposed in so many different ways these days. This does not give you permission to give up and just live with it, instead this is your reminder to get that deep clean done regularly for your system. You wouldn’t just clean your kitchen or bathroom once and say it is done for good, would you? Our bodies require good maintenance to be able to serve us well for a lifetime and knowing how to detox and cleanse your system is a great step to living a healthy long life. 

High quality nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and whole foods are essential for this process. To learn how to go deeper to rid your body of the toxins deep in the cell, join Dr. Jeremy at the end of this month for his Detox Guide workshop!
