Whole Body Detox Workshop
Spring will be here soon and it’s a good time to prepare for some spring cleaning! Detoxes are a great way to kick-start your way to better health, but with the vast (and conflicting) information all over social media, do you find yourself wondering if you really need one?
Naturopathic doctors, Dr. Janice Dacyshyn and Dr. Janet Trieu want to guide you through the sea of information, helping to demystify detoxes and weighing in on current detox programs that are popular. At the 2-hour workshop, you will also learn how to support your bodies’ natural detoxification process using nutrition, herbs and botanicals, homeopathics and Chinese medicine and acupuncture. As well, we will have a psychologist talk about the emotional detox, a spring cleaning for your mind.

Do I really need one?

As you age, our ability to naturally remove toxins in our bodies decreases
Does the detox protocol have to be very restrictive and include lots of stomach upset?
No! Even mild cleansing can still be very beneficial. This can be as simple as decreasing certain foods that are hard to process or hard on the liver and increasing foods that aid in detoxification pathways like leafy greens and milk thistle.
