Are you feeling sluggish ? In need of a re-boot after the party season ? Trying to shift a few kg’s ?
Your liver plays a major role in the regulation of metabolic processes, supports the digestive system, controls blood sugar and regulates fat storage. It is vital to have a healthy liver if you are trying to maintain a healthy weight, as it stores and mobilises energy, and produces more proteins than any other organ in the body. The liver is responsible for breaking down every chemical that enters the body, so the cleaner you eat, and the less toxins you exposure your body to, the easy it is for the liver to function correctly.
A 2 week detox can give the liver just the break it needs to regenerate and function well. Contact me for more information and support if you would like to undertake a detox program.
