Spring Clean Your Detox Routine

While many of us may be laying out plans to Spring Clean our homes, we should also be thinking about Spring Cleaning our bodies. Seasonally, spring is one of the best times to detoxify from all of the waste we've accumulated over the winter. During the cold winter months, the body goes into a protective state and is more inclined to hold on rather than let go of wastes and by-products created by our normal, everyday functions. With Spring, comes regrowth and regeneration and according to traditional Chinese medicine, it is the best time to cleanse and nourish the liver which is the body's primary organ for detoxification.

The human body is capable of detoxifying itself each and every single day. It needs to in order to keep up with the constant bombardment of environmental toxins, stress, prescription and over-the-counter drugs, cosmetics and less-than ideal foods we expose it to. Over time, the body's detoxification capabilities become compromised due to our growing toxic burden and seasonal detoxes are a great way to reset our systems.

The key to any successful detox is to ensure that the body's elimination pathways are clear and open. A sluggish liver, digestive tract or inability to sweat can cause released toxins to remain in the body leading to fatigue, headaches, digestive distress and even illness. For those individuals who are currently following a regimen designed by Dr. Cousino, we recommend the following 15-Day Cleanse prior to starting a detox protocol. The cleanse promotes digestive and liver purification and gives the body a break from common inflammatory triggers, enabling it to heal.

15-Day Lemon Cleanse

We recommend using organic, Meyer lemons because they are less acidic, have a thinner peel and are a bit sweeter. If Meyer lemons are not available, regular organic lemons can be substituted. It is important to use organic lemons because the entire lemon with peel is used in the Lemon Elixir recipe. Introducing pesticides/herbicides/fungicides into the body by using conventional lemons is counter intuitive to the cleansing process.

How to Prepare Lemon Elixir

1. Wash one Meyer lemon. Do not peel. Place the lemon in a blender with 16 oz. filtered water. Room temperature water is preferred to cold.
   
2. Add 1 TBSP organic, cold-pressed olive oil
   
3. Add 1 tsp organic, raw honey
   
4. Blend all ingredients together until well mixed. Drink.
   

It is best to consume the elixir after breakfast. Please note that you may have a bowel movement within 30 minutes of consuming.

Elimination Diet
Please refrain from ALL foods in the "Foods to Avoid" column. Many are inflammatory triggers to the digestive system. By avoiding these foods for the 15 day cleanse period, you will allow your body to detoxify more efficiently. Foods in the "Foods Allowed" column are okay to have and you can eat as much as you like. Keep in mind though, moderation is best. Read food labels to prevent accidental consumption of foods you are to avoid. Always opt for organic when possible.

For clients that have not been in to see Dr. Cousino within the last 6 months, we recommend scheduling a consultation with him to discuss your detox options or trying our Restoring Cellular Communication Pathways (RCCP) program. This protocol is designed to assist the body in returning to a state of optimal health by supporting and nourishing organs of drainage and elimination. Each program comes with a 30-day supply of specially formulated products, an RCCP guidelines booklet and The Detox Solution book written by Dr. Patricia Fitzgerald. Once your 30-day RCCP program has been completed, we highly recommend the 15-Day Lemon Cleanse to jump start your body's detoxification processes.

Once the 15-Day Cleanse is complete, you can further support your body's natural detoxification processes through a properly prepared, nutrient-dense diet and one of our detox therapies.
