Liver Love Meal Plan
A sneak peak at a nourishing and personalized meal plan
Our livers are constantly on guard duty, battling toxins from pollution, processed foods, and medications. In today's world, we're exposed to more environmental threats than ever before. Plastics, pesticides, and heavy metals like lead, aluminum, and mercury lurk in everyday products, adding to the liver's workload.
But it's not just external threats. Chronic stress and unhealed trauma can wreak havoc on our hormones and gut health, further burdening the liver. Even stealth infections, like parasites or viruses, can go unnoticed while silently straining this vital organ.
Here are four factors that can be affecting your liver:
Environmental toxins include plastics, pesticides, medications, phthalates, Wi-Fi, and petroleum. These everyday toxins are found in beauty products, plastic containers, laundry detergent, household cleaning products, and more.
Heavy metals include thallium, mercury, cadmium, lead, and aluminum. Common metals include lead in beauty products, aluminum in soda cans, and additives in food products to enhance texture and taste.
Chronic stress and trauma are often overlooked in the healing process and can affect hormone levels, leading to imbalances in the gut and chronic inflammation. Unhealed trauma from your life, even trans-generational trauma, can prevent healing.
Stealth infections are not limited to developing countries. These are actually widespread in the U.S and include parasites, Lyme, babesia, bartonella, mold and mycotoxins, candida/yeast, and retroviruses such as Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6).
But what if you could give your liver some much needed love, with a healthy and effective meal plan tailored specifically to your needs?
That's exactly what I offer in my exclusive Nourishing Meal Plan Packages for individuals and families! These customizable plans take into account all types of dietary goals and restrictions, ensuring you get a detox powerhouse that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
