KEY TAKEAWAYS:
● We have the organs and cells involved in detoxification. Detoxification is energy, and it is all nutrient dependent.
● Because of our environment, the human body is forced to filter and detoxify an average of 80,000 chemicals. There are 2,000 new chemicals introduced into commerce annually in the United States.
● Our body is detoxing every day, all the time. It is best served by supporting our natural detox pathways by minimizing insults and providing the building blocks for proper detox function.
QUOTES:
“Toxins are basically any harmful substance that can build up in the body over time. We get them from the air we breathe, the food we eat, stress, exercise, and our metabolism. The body is designed to do this process to get these toxins out, but our modern world has an overabundance of these toxins building up in our bodies because we have way more coming in than our natural systems can tolerate.” - Jenn Trepeck
“Detoxification is as important as sleep and exercise.” - Jenn Trepeck
“Stress, exercise, our metabolism, and more also create toxic byproducts the body needs to eliminate.” - Jenn Trepeck
“When studies evaluate the safety of chemicals, they are tested for safety individually. Our lives though, are such that…we are exposed to a cocktail of toxins, which is not studied.” - Jenn Trepeck
“To do a proper detox nutrition plan, you need to eat enough. We need fiber; we need all these other vitamins and minerals to support the body’s process. If your detox is fasting, that is not a detox.” - Jenn Trepeck
