The toxic load our bodies are exposed to is often too much for our detoxification systems to handle. Proper detoxification is necessary for optimal liver, kidney, and mitochondrial function, providing you with increased energy levels and improved overall health.

A healthy detoxification program must include targeted nutrition to maintain health. The problem is often NOT that we eat “too much”, but that we don’t “enough of the good stuff”. Starvation is not a detox! Depriving our bodies of nutrients will only be more harmful in the long run, often making it hard to lose weight and/or improve energy. Dr. Kimberly Brengle recommends eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and healthy oils (extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil) to assist in proper detox. She encourages a low glycemic anti-inflammatory food protocol which allows organic or free-range chicken, duck, turkey, lamb and wild game.
