Allie Might, INHC: [00:00:40] Welcome to the Invite Health Podcast, where today we will be discussing how to do a simple detox. This is Ally Might Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Functional Medicine Coach here with a day in the life of a detox. † [00:00:51]
[00:00:52] When I do the detox, I typically do it anywhere from 5 to 10 days, depending on how I’m feeling. Upon waking up, this is how my day would go. I would start off by making a cup of warm water with the juice of a half a lemon. I will follow that up with a quick 5 to 10 minute meditation where I take that time to do some deep breathing and really set my intentions for the day. After my quick meditation, I will take my morning supplements, which typically consists of a probiotic. To start to help balance out my gut flora, as well as an herbal formula called Hepatox, which consists of a little bit of milk thistle, some dandelion root and Phyllanthus amarus extract, all to help support my liver health. I will take those with my breakfast, which will usually consist of an egg which I either like to poach or soft boil. And I will pair that with either three cups of steamed broccoli or an entire bag of spinach that I will lightly sauté with a little bit of fresh black pepper and some garlic. A couple hours after breakfast, I’ll have my morning snack, which I like to have some fruit at that time. This will either be peaches, plums, maybe a nectarine, or some fresh berries. † [00:02:16]

[00:02:17] A couple hours after my morning snack, I will have my afternoon supplements which consist of a good multivitamin, milk thistle, as well as N-acetyl cysteine, which is commonly referred to as NAC or N.A.C. These two supplements are very good not only for liver support, but also to help support the kidneys. I will have that with my lunch, which consists of either a large salad which I make with either kale or some arugula, and I typically use about 2 to 3 cups of that, just depending on how large I want the salad and to that I will add in all kinds of other different vegetables, maybe sometimes pepper, some additional broccoli, maybe some mushrooms, cucumbers, zucchini, anything that I have at home that looks really good, I will throw into that salad. To the salad, then I will add in fresh herbs, either basil or cilantro, some seeds, which is usually sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, and then some fresh citrus of either a lime or lemon to add some nice extra flavor and depth into my salad. † [00:03:34]
[00:03:35] My other favorite go to lunch would be vegetable soup, which I would make with vegetable broth and diced, add a couple of cups of diced vegetables and I would pair that with a side salad of chopped up cucumbers and tomatoes. A couple hours later, I’ll have my absolute favorite afternoon snack, which always consists of a cup of vegetables that I cut into sticks. So I’ll have a variety of carrot sticks, celery sticks, pepper sticks or cucumber sticks. After that, I’ll do a light workout, which consists of some light stretching, restorative yoga, or walk through the park when it’s time for dinner. I have another Hepatox like I had in the morning, and then when I make dinner, this is where I get really creative for the day with my meals, I’ll have anywhere from a third of a piece of tofu and three cups of vegetables to zoodles, which is spiralized zucchini to look like pasta with some fresh marinara sauce or sliced tomatoes on top. To my absolute favorite, which is a bag of sautéed spinach topped with marinara sauce. And then I’ll bake a well in that and I’ll crack an egg and steam it until the egg is the consistency that I like it.† [00:04:57]

[00:04:57] A couple hours later, I will have my what I like to call my night supplements, which is a scoop of fiber or psyllium husk and an eight ounce glass of water. I mix that up and drink that before going to bed, and that is my day of a detox. I hope this has been helpful for you to see what a detox would look like on a daily basis.

Amanda Williams, MD, MPH: [00:00:40] Many years ago, when I decided to go to medical school, I did it because I absolutely wanted to help people. Well, it’s interesting because I Fast forward through the years and I still have that same desire, which is to help people. Which is what actually piqued my interest to come on board at InViteⓇ Health many years ago. Because when I recognized that InViteⓇ Health is so much more than just a vitamin and supplement company. We are a company that is based on scientific research. And really allowing people to have access to highly qualified, very educated folks who are there to help you help yourself. And I say this often on my radio shows and but I mean that wholeheartedly. † [00:01:25]
[00:01:26] So I’m Dr. Amanda Williams. I am the scientific director at InViteⓇ Health and I want to talk about many of the different services that we have at InViteⓇ because it’s interesting when I talk to folks, sometimes they say, Oh, I didn’t know that I could, you know, meet with you via video chat or I didn’t know I can meet with you in person. I didn’t know that I could bring in my blood tests that I just had done at my doctor’s office and have you, you know, just take a quick glance at that. Maybe something jumps out that my doctor overlooked and you say, hey, maybe you have a vitamin, you know deficiency, or maybe you need to get some more omega three fatty acids based off of your triglyceride levels being too high. And I always find that part of my position to be the most rewarding and I think it kind of goes back to when you look at all of the scientific research on what is happiness and I Remember many years ago you know, being told, find something that you love to do. If you love doing what you do. It won’t ever seem like work. And there. Is such truth to that when they have done actual scientific studies looking at people who are considered happy, you know, what are the the qualities that people are seeking out? And, you know, things like friendliness and cheerfulness, being compassionate, having gratitude. And this is one of those things with all of our nutritional experts at InViteⓇ. That I think all of us encompass as having that unique ability to be able to connect with others and having that friendly face.† [00:02:53]
THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING YOUR BLOOD TEST RESULTS >> Read Now!
[00:02:54] So you can come in and you can talk to us about your health concerns. And this is very important because when it comes down to your health, it is really essential that you feel comfortable in your own skin and that you feel comfortable speaking with someone about your health concerns. And to be able to have the opportunity to sit down, whether that’s in person at one of our store locations, whether that’s via video chat, which a lot of folks really enjoy doing. They like to just be able to stay in the comfort of their own home. But yet still speak to one of our nutritional experts about whatever their concern may be. Maybe it’s you have high cholesterol, maybe it’s your blood sugar is a problem, maybe you’re trying to lose weight, whatever, be the case. But to have the ability to talk to someone who’s friendly, and compassionate, and cheerful, and is there to guide you through this process.† [00:03:49]
[00:03:50] This is oftentimes where people are slightly taken aback because they think, oh, InViteⓇ Health your a vitamin and supplement company and they don’t see that we have all of these other services that we offer including helping you design the appropriate diet for yourself. You know, do you need assistance? Sometimes you can have someone say, well, eat healthy, and you may say, okay sure, I’ll eat healthy, but you don’t exactly know what that means. Our nutritional experts will actually sit down with you and come up with a dietary plan. So you have an idea when you go to the grocery store, what should you be purchasing? How is it that you can put together easy to fix meals for yourself so you’re not having to do processed foods and the prepackaged foods that we know are loaded down with unhealthy chemicals. And are just not nutrient dense whatsoever. We also have the ability to help you with exercise routines. So we have all of our nutritional experts. They not only know all of the vitamins and minerals and different herbal extracts that we offer to you. But they can actually assist you in coming up with a complete routine that includes your diet, that includes exercise. And this makes us incredibly unique, which is kind of what I go back to, what brought me to InViteⓇ Health many years ago. Because for me, having those happiness factors is so essential and realizing that, you know, the keys to happiness is to be able to do what you love and to be able to work with other people who also have those same goals and they’re optimistic.† [00:05:33]
