Having a successful detox comes down to following 3 simple steps. Good health is a gift to yourself and not a punishment, so let’s be kind to your body, ditch the crazy crash detox diets and sugary detox drinks and work with a professional for an effective and rewarding experience.
1st Step to a Successful Detox:
Consult a Naturopath. Your Naturopath will walk you through the most effective way to detoxify your body based on your initial health review and key findings during your Detox Appointment. As we’re all wonderfully unique, there will never be a one size fits all approach to any diet or health plan, so it’s important to work with your Naturopath so they can tailor an individualised program to suit your body and lifestyle.
The full health review will help them get a check on your current state of health and if any health issues need to be addressed or considered during your detox. Whether you’re feeling unwell or want to take control of your health, this initial appointment is a great place and correct place to start.
2nd Step to a Successful Detox:
Work with your Naturopath on a whole food’s eating program. Naturopaths and Health Coaches design these food programs to take the load off and nourish your body as well as reduce inflammation and improve digestion.
Although the detoxification process can be a little uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Talking with your Naturopath on what is best for your body will minimise any discomfort, and the results will be worth it.
