My recent research in Australia has made me even more aware of the impact of environmental chemicals on health. In fact, I believe that environmental chemicals are a major cause of obesity & disease in 21st Century. There has been an unprecedented rise in man -made chemicals over the last 30 years which are being absorbed into our bodies. Of course, it is impossible to avoid all chemicals, but as a Naturopath, I believe that we should make every effort to choose natural products in all areas of our personal lives.

Personally, I also recognise the health benefits of regular detoxification at intestinal, liver, kidney and cellular level. I have recently completed a 7 day detox and find this also helps mentally and emotionally. This time of the year is perfect for a ‘Spring Clean’. Warmer weather, an abundance of green vegetables makes the alkaline diet easy and enjoyable.

Add in bowel cleansing herbs, liver support supplements, pro- biotics together with skin brushing, saunas and optional coffee enemas and you will feel so much better with more energy and a clear mind.

Plan to do this at a time when you can really focus on yourself – and give your body all that it needs – you deserve it and it will bring life- long benefits……..
