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.

hypoglycemia

I often speak about elevated blood glucose in the setting of metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes. Today, I want to talk a little bit about hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar levels. This is actually really, really common. Oftentimes, people are unaware of the fact that diabetes is the primary reason as to why people can experience low blood glucose.†
Hypoglycemia is also known as low blood glucose. This occurs when the level of sugar in your blood drops below what is actually healthy for you. For many people who have diabetes, this usually happens when their blood glucose drops below 70, but this can vary from one person to the next.†
We know that people who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and are taking insulin or some other diabetic medications are very prone to these bouts of hypoglycemia. They can have a whole slew of different symptoms that can actually lead to them going to the emergency room. Maybe they feel tired, dizzy, jittery or shaky. Maybe they feel like their heart is beating too fast or has an abnormal rhythm to it. They may get a headache. Some people may even have a problem with speaking clearly. In very severe cases, people may even end up with seizures or loss of consciousness. This is really, really problematic.†
Hypoglycemia affects more than just diabetics. We can also look at people who have PCOS or advanced liver or kidney disease. There are many different causative reasons as to why your blood glucose can be thrown off. We can look at adrenal dysfunction. Certain medications can also contribute to this.†

We have to look at what we can be doing long-term to help support healthy levels of sugar in the blood. We can look at how we can slow the rate of sugar spiking in the blood. Fiber can help support this. Fiber is wonderful when it comes to slowing the rate of carbohydrate absorption. It’s important to pick healthy foods like fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber.†
We can also look at other nutrients that can be beneficial. White kidney bean extract, which is found in our Phase 2Ⓡ Starch & Carb Neutralizer formulation, helps to impede alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase is the enzyme that’s responsible for breaking down those sugars, so it’s helping to slow that rate of glucose being spiked up.†
