What is detoxing and why it’s imperative BEFORE conceiving.
A detox is a regimen or treatment intended to remove toxins and impurities from the body.
We live in a toxic world:
Our water is toxic.
Our food is toxic.
Our air is toxic.
These are the three fundamental needs for human survival.
So basically, we’re all toxic.
And if we’re toxic, our babies are too.
Recent studies show that an average of 200 known toxins can be found in placentas and umbilical cord blood of tested subjects. (1)
Trace amounts of flame retardants, banned in the U.S. for more than a decade, are still being passed through umbilical cord blood from mothers to their babies, according to new Indiana University research. The chemicals are linked to health concerns including hormone disruption and low birth weight. (2)
Whether you are planning to conceive or not, THIS IS ALARMING!
Our philosophy here at SOHAM Wellness is:
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL HEALTH,
YOU MUST REMOVE THE OBSTACLES HOLDING YOU BACK.
The levels of environmental toxicity are rising faster than our bodies can adapt. We need help. That’s where detoxing is so important and must be part of every healing journey.
But it must be done safely.
Our approach to detoxing takes a personal approach. We know each person is unique and embrace these differences when creating protocols and making recommendations to ensure drainage pathways are open to allow for safe removal of unwanted toxins. We follow a proven system that follows a simple framework:
assess
address
remove
restore
nurture
We know any road to health is not a straight line…it is twisting, turning and sometimes you feel like you take 2 steps back to get 1 step forward. Because we are dynamic human beings, our healing journey will be as well. The most important aspect of a true detox is consistency.
Small actions done on a regular basis over time create MASSIVE impact.
More on that and habits in another post. For now, accept this as truth.
