NO MORE CALORIE COUNTING! Most clients seek our services because they want to lose weight. This is a wonderful goal to work toward, especially since being overweight is a precursor to many different types of chronic ailments. However, our goal for each client is to go one step further and determine explanations for why their metabolism has slowed and their health has deteriorated.
Do you recognize the phrase “healing from the inside out”? We strongly believe that this is the answer to regaining balance in the body and maintaining good health. If you are able to heal your metabolism, you will no longer need to diet or count calories in order to maintain a healthy weight.

In order to do this, four main factors must be addressed: detoxification, digestion, and hormonal balance.
Detoxification
Simply put, detoxification entails removing toxic substances from the body. We are exposed to so many toxins these days in the food and beverages we consume, the drugs we take, and the air we breathe. Most toxic chemicals are stored in our tissues for many years and continue to accumulate. Growing research is linking body toxicity to many health conditions, including poor metabolism, fatigue, infertility, cancer, headaches, and skin conditions.
Digestion
There are many factors that contribute to poor digestion. These include food allergies and sensitivities, toxic build-up and imbalances of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, and improper functioning of the digestive system. If you are not digesting your food properly, you are not absorbing or metabolizing crucial nutrients your body needs to perform well and stay healthy.
Hormonal Balance
Maintaining hormonal balance is important for women and men. This is difficult to accomplish when our bodies are constantly exposed to environmental estrogen in the form of pesticides and soy products, as well as animal growth hormones. Hormonal disturbances can cause a myriad of health problems, including inability to lose weight, adrenal fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
PH Balance
This may be a new concept to many people, but it is well known and researched in the health community. A healthy alkaline diet helps prevent and fight disease, most particularly Cancer. A poor diet filled with acid forming foods can slow down your body’s systems by weakening the immune system, slowing metabolism and ultimately causing low energy and poor health.

The important thing to note is that all of these factors are related and contribute to one another, ultimately affecting your metabolism and thus your ability to maintain a healthy weight and prevent disease. If you are suffering in any or all four of these areas, the simplest way to regain balance is to eliminate toxins from the body and follow a diet with small balanced meals throughout the day.
