Detox O'clock? Liver cleanses? Juicing? Keto?

We all want to take control of our health, and since our healthcare system isn't designed for prevention, we are on our own to  research and make the best choices we can. Instagram is just saturated with health and wellness folks that promise the same tanned and toned thighs that they have by following their diets and exercise regimes or buying their supplements. ​

But you, dear reader, may not be playing with the same deck of cards they have. 

• Your ability to metabolize fats may not be the same as that ripped keto person. 
• You may be harboring infections in your gut that cause your cortisol to elevate at night and disrupt your sleep. 
• Maybe you feel terrible after you exercise and don't get that "elevated" feeling so many people speak of. 

As for "detox" programs- I can say that 70% of my patients are not in a physical position to handle any sort of "detox". A properly designed liver detox program will upregulate the functioning of both phase 1 and phase 2 liver pathways and is always the last step in any wellness program. Done too soon, on a body that is harboring latent infection, inflammation, high cortisol, poor sleep and it will make you feel worse, not better. 

We practice the Kalish Method of functional medicine. We test your Adrenal, GI, and Detox systems, and make a plan based on your personal circumstances. We correct the problems in the order that they occurred. We check to be sure that your endocrine system is balanced before we jump into a GI program, so that your body can maintain a balanced state on its own. We take the seemingly random chaos of symptoms and organize them into logical physiologic systems and address the problems systematically.
