We recently finished our 14-Day Whole Life Detox program led by our Health Coach, Melissa Rapoport. If you completed the program, you are walking away with more energy and mental clarity, several pounds lighter and a clean slate to start the summer toxin-free.
If you weren’t able to make the Detox program with Melissa but are still interested in clearing your body of the everyday toxins you encounter or if you want to continue the benefits from the program, infusions can help support the detoxification process.
How Detox Infusions Work:
The liver is essential for clearing toxins out of your blood. It is your natural filter and our Detox infusion gives it a jumpstart by feeding it targeted nutrients that transform and bind to toxins, while adding antioxidant support to improve liver function. When your liver is overburdened, you may feel sluggish, experience brain fog, have chronic headaches, poor sleep, constipation, and undesired weight gain.
Providing your liver with targeted nutrients helps support it in its task to lower your toxic load. These vitamins, amino acids, and minerals are key to improving liver function and aiding in the detoxification process. Moreover, getting them infused allows your body to absorb 100% of the dose because it bypasses the GI tract and liver, which greatly reduces the dose by the time it ever gets to your cells.
What’s in Medical-Grade Detox Infusions?
B Complex– contains B1, B2, B3, B5, & B6 to help your cells function better and make energy. B vitamins are crucial to the detoxification process.
Vitamin C– a potent antioxidant, high doses of vitamin C helps flush toxins from the body.
Magnesium– an electrolyte that is needed to keep your nervous system and muscles functioning properly & keep your body balanced and relaxed. Stimulates cell activity to release toxins and heavy metals into the bloodstream to then be filtered out by the liver.
B12- essential for all biochemistry and body functions that involve methylation, including production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, neurotransmitters, liver detox, and maintaining health of the nervous system. As we age, it is harder to absorb B12 from the gut, another reason to regularly get B12 by infusion.
Taurine- amino acid that improves liver function and promotes elimination of toxins
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): Boosts the immune system, increases Glutathione (antioxidant), and supports the liver to clear the body of toxins.
Methionine: Sulfur containing amino acid, where the sulfur helps inactivate free radicals in the body. Protects the cell from pollutants and aids in excretion of heavy metals.
Why It’s Important to Flush Toxins and Heavy Metals:
- If you have an excess of toxins, your liver will get overburdened
- Your liver uses glutathione (a powerful antioxidant) to process these toxins out and it will use up your glutathione supply (why we recommend adding on a glutathione infusion at the end of your Detox infusion!)
- As your glutathione levels get depleted, you become more susceptible to getting infections like Covid
- If your body isn’t properly excreting toxins, the toxins are stored in your fat cells (this can cause weight gain too!)
- Leaves you feeling more vibrant and lighter
Everyday Toxins You May Be In Contact With:
- Air pollutants
- Mercury found in fish
- Medications and bacteria in the water supply
- Herbicides and pesticides found in food
- Hormones, antibiotics and herbicides in our animal protein like chicken or beef
- Plastics from water bottles
- Cleaning chemicals like hand sanitizer
Detox infusions are just one of many amazing tools we have at Blum Center for Health to support the detoxification process. Helping your liver function optimally is a whole lifestyle approach – including diet, sleep, hydration, self care, and the household products you use (and don’t use). Our Functional Medicine doctors and our Health Coach are available to work one-on-one with you to evaluate your toxic load and get you back to feeling better and brighter!
