All About Food Toxins

As you upgrade the quality of your food it becomes easier to crowd out the not-so-good-for-you options. The health upgrades you experience from high quality foods will be more noticeable when you consciously remove low-quality, toxic foods from your diet. What’s A Food Toxin? Toxins are things you ingest that your body doesn’t recognize as food. Most toxins are much more sinister than just an inert substance that needs to pass on through your body: many of them endanger your health. Your body will always do whatever it can to keep you alive in the present moment, even if it […]

Easing Detox Symptoms

Adding raw superfoods into your diet and removing food toxins may give your body all it requires to start to detoxify.

Dandelion Vinegar

Spring is time for dandelions and liver support! If your yard is organic (or you know of one that is), and you see dandelions blooming, pluck those little flower heads! The yellow flowers are high in lecithin and support liver health. I feel like a honeybee as I buzz over my yard and collect the dandelion flowers. 🙂 Once you’ve got a bunch, fill a glass mason jar (that has a lid) with the flowers. Really pack them in there. Pour Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) over the top until all the flowers are covered. Cover with a lid (ideally a […]

Managing Stress & Sleep Issues

When the lymph is clogged, you may find yourself in an unhelpful sleep pattern of “lots of doing energy” and unable to sleep, followed by a hard crash of a couple hours of sleep, only to awaken again feeling like you need to move about. If this sleep pattern sounds familiar, this video is for you: [Watch on Youtube] Learn more about unclogging your Lymph system and getting a good night’s sleep with Vitalize.
