Why Detox?
Summer Detox Staples
Easy, natural everyday healthy, detox choices.
The world is a toxic place. The term “body burden” is the amount of toxins you are sequestering in your body. There appears to be a tipping point in your body above which the accumulation of toxins begins to interpret into disease. You can read more in our “The Body Burden” blog post. Now I certainly do not wish to alarm you. My goal is to educate you and offer some simple natural detox solutions.
Summer is a great time to detox because you are generally more active and as the weather gets warmer you appetite naturally decreases. Don’t panic! Here at the ‘Self Care Hub’ we are all about easy, natural everyday healthy, detox choices.

PiMag Sport Bottle
PiMag Sport Bottle US $48.75
All components are 100% biodegradable
The PiMag Sport bottle is not just a state-of-the-art water filter, but also a health product crucial to an natural detoxification. The new filter has the ability to significantly reduce certain harmful pathogens in potable drinking water. It’s also a green choice. You won’t be adding to landfills and polluting ocean waters with plastic. Instead, you’ll be saving a fortune by not paying for commercially bottled water. Drink filtered, healthy, alkaline municipally treated water. The PiMag Sport Bottle is the only water bottle that combines three technologies: nano-filtration, alkalization and de-clustering. De-clustering breaks down the water molecule to make it more absorbable. When I am on the go I always have my water bottle. When my hands feel dry I rub a little “PiWater” on the skin and it instantly moisturizes.
Cleanse & Detox
I use this guy on intermittent fast days or if I am not fasting every three months to show my liver some love. Your liver performs more than 500 functions and maintains 2000 plus enzyme systems, but the Lady does enjoy a glass of wine, whiskey or beer occasionally which makes the liver work even harder. Cleanse & Detox is designed to help enhance the three major functions of the liver:
• Cleansing is the process of destroying toxins that come from wastes produced by the body.
• Synthesis involves metabolizing carbohydrates, lipids and proteins as well as producing coagulation factors and bile secretion.*
• Storage of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K and E in addition to glycogen, makes energy available in the form of sugar when the body needs it.
Bonus: the combination of organic ingredients also help promote weight loss.
Amazing Organic Ingredients
Roasted organic Chicory Root helps support the breakdown of fats by increasing the flow of bile through the liver.* Chicory Root is high in antioxidant compounds, contains a soluble fiber that helps feed digestive flora in the intestines and is a mild laxative.*
• Milk Thistle extract contains the flavonoid Silymarin, an active component that is believed to be nature’s own liver supporter and shield. Milk Thistle has been shown to help increase glutathione levels, which may help decrease oxidative stress.*
• Turmeric extract has been used for centuries in the Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions to help address a variety of stomach issues, including bloating, gas, water retention, kidney and liver dysfunctions.* It contains curcumin, an active component which may help decrease inflammation.*
• Bupleurum extract is best known for its ability to help detoxify for the liver and address indigestion, diarrhea and constipation.* Bupleurum extract is believed to work well with Milk Thistle and Turmeric. The saikosaponins found in Bupleurum help produce anti-inflammatory effects and may help inhibit the growth of harmful cells while encouraging wound recovery.*
• Schisandra is an adaptogen used to help increase resistance to stress.* Due to the lignans contained in Schisandra, it has been used by Chinese herbalists to help enhance liver functions.* Fat –soluble compounds found in the core of the Schisandra seed help defend the liver from toxins.*
• Multi-purpose Ashwaghanda (“Sensoril”) is an adaptogen used to help support the liver and to help the body cope with stress and the effects of aging.* It helps the body remove excess waste, facilitates weight management and helps promote an improved sense of wellbeing.*
HeavyMetal
Dietary exposure to heavy metals may have detrimental effects on human and animal health, even at low concentrations. Specific probiotic bacteria may have properties that enable them to bind toxins from food and water.*
The Kenzen Vital Balance (KVB) pea protein shake has got you covered. While I am posting this I am enjoying a delicious chocolate KVB shake with some of my favorite anti-oxidant packed berries, cheers! KVB is designed to help burn fat and boost metabolism as well as promote healthy brain function and the elimination of toxins in the body. With pre- and probiotics to assist in digestive and immune system activity.
It works! My daughter has a shake before she goes to work. She loves it so much she buys her own container.
