🙅🏻♀️No detox, cleanse or reset needed
It’s likely your metabolic function that should addressed, consistency and patience that will bring about healing—Not a restrictive dietary protocol.
🔥 What is our metabolism?
🔹Simply put, it is how well our cells use energy to do the jobs they are supposed to do.
🔹The metabolism is the rate at which we convert calories and oxygen into energy AND how efficiently and effectively we use that fuel.
🔹It doesn’t just affect how we gain and lose weight, it also affects how we function down to the cells themselves.
🔹And every part of our body is made up of… CELLS.
🔹And since hormones are made BY cells FOR cells (simply cellular messengers), it affects both our hormonal output and how we receive and respond to hormones.
🔹Our metabolism affects:
〰️ Detoxification (liver, skin, kidneys, etc.)
〰️ Digestion
〰️ Thyroid
〰️ Adrenals
〰️ Pancreas (enzymes & insulin)
〰️ Menstrual Cycle/Reproduction
〰️ Insulin Sensitivity
〰️ Inflammation
〰️ Immune System
🔹This is why focusing on detox diets, cleanse protocols and thinking you need to “reset, is what suppress symptoms like weight gain or autoimmunity. It is a bandaid that often makes metabolic function worse in the long run.
🔹This is why so many people share that symptoms go away for a while and then come back worse than before.
🔹Heal your metabolism, heal your whole self.
🔹Many factors affect our metabolism including our nutrition, the frequency of our nutrition, our mental state/emotions, our breathing, our nervous system, our movement, our environment, etc.

🍑 Be patient, focus on metabolic health > weight loss.
🍑Make stress reduction and down time (doing “nothing”) a priority
🍑Eat frequently & consistently
