Why Do People Who Detox Quit Jobs and Start New Relationships?
When most people think of detox, they think of weight loss.
This is a purely physical effect.
That is as far as they let themselves go in terms of learning the benefits detoxing can have.
They don't realize that detoxing affects more than just the body - it affects the mind too.
My partner, Josie has worked in detox centers for over three years, detoxed hundreds of people and has proverbially, "seen it all".
People go through so many overpowering mental and emotional changes that are truly quite amazing to watch.
Their thinking and approach to their lives shift and they become more enlightened every single day.
This is because our body and mind are fundamentally linked.
Therefore, your personal life and the thoughts that go through your mind daily have a profound effect on your physical health, just as the things that you put into your body have an effect on your mental health.
When you are consuming unhealthful foods such as refined sugars and additives, your mind will in turn be affected and when you are consistently thinking self-deprecating thoughts, your body will not be experiencing perfect health.
As fasting releases toxins from the body, it also transforms the mind.
Your gut and liver are responsible for carrying nutrients throughout the body, disposing of waste products, and converting T4 hormone to T3, the active hormone that our body uses as fuel.
Do you see how, if the gut and liver are both full of toxins and waste, then these substances will also be released into your blood and tissues throughout your body? This is why you are feeling exhausted, sad, apathetic, and overall just sick.
It is time to clean our your cells, tissues and organs so that you can experience, a new, vibrant you.
Think about it...
if your organs are clean and functioning properly, they are going to be providing your body with clean, fresh blood that will in turn provide the rest of your body with the nutrients and things it needs to function well.
Your emotions will benefit as well.
You will feel clearer, happier, more motivated and a renewed sense of confidence that will last far longer than any fad diet or pill.
Who wouldn't want to do a fast if these are the consequences? 1.
Increased energy You may think that because you aren't eating much on a detox that you will be sluggish and just want to sleep.
After all, where are you getting your energy? What you may not realize is just how much energy is used up during the ingestion and digestion of food.
Once your body does not have to complete those processes, it will have a lot of energy left over to use in other ways.
Most people who fast experience a rise in energy, especially after the third day.
Those with thyroid conditions experience a lot more energy as well.
Detoxing supports the conversion of the T4 hormone to T3 9the fuel for our body) so naturally, we feel more energized.
Many thyroid patients even are able to reduce the dosage of their medication after a detox.

Healing When you begin to heal you body and reduce your toxic load, you create an environment in which disease no longer thrives.
When you move from an acidic, unhealthy body, to an alkalized one, you begin to experience less pain and more healing.
When we experience pain, it affects every aspect of our lives from our relationships with others, our careers, our physical appearance, and even our relationship with ourselves.
What are you like when you are experiencing pain? People dealing with pain on a regular basis are often critical of others, anxious, irritated, and lack passion for life.
Imagine a life with no pain...
one where you experience a positive outlook, increased confidence, new career endeavors, and glowing relationships.

Increased happiness Ever heard of serotonin? It is a neurotransmitter that is crucial to maintaining a feeling of well being.
It can be thought of as the "happiness hormone".
Most people think that it is solely produced in the brain, when, in fact, the majority of it is produced in the gut.
Clean up your gut and it will produce serotonin much more efficiently, leading you to feel happier! 4.
Clarity of mind Feeling foggy? Not surprising...
the brain is very much connected to the gut...
most of the neurotransmitters in our body (cells that help with communication) are in our digestive tract.
A toxin-ridden gut is going to inhibit communication, but a clean, properly functioning one will allow the neurotransmitters to effectively communicate with the brain, providing you with increased clarity of mind.
It has even been shown that cases of depression can be lifted with something as simple as a change in diet.
Having a clear mind can carry over to many aspects of our lives, such as renewed confidence to pursue our dreams or increased motivation to change something in our lives we are unhappy with, such as a bad relationship.

A feeling of lightness And not just from weight loss...
lightness of the mind, as though a weight has been lifted from the guilt, fear, and negative thought patterns that clutter our life and weigh down our spirits.
This is a purely physical effect.
