Detoxification: The Missing Link to Wellness

8/22/2021

The importance of detoxification is often overlooked in the big picture of overall health and wellness. If the body's detoxification pathways are overburdened and sluggish, the resulting toxic burden can manifest in a variety of ways. These might include fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, digestive problems, muscle and joint pain, sinus congestion, poor sleep, headaches, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, and more. 

Toxins can even amplify the impact of viruses, as discussed in this paper: The under-reported role of toxic substance exposures in the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors state, "Different people will be exposed to distinct toxic stressors combinations, and will respond differently according to the composition of the toxic stressors combinations and a person's genetic makeup and overall level of health."
We live in a toxic world. There is no question about that. Here in Denver, Colorado we have had the dubious honor lately of having the worst air quality index in the world. Many are struggling to breathe, especially if they have underlying lung conditions. As if that weren't enough, the number of environmental toxins we encounter on a daily basis tends to be very high, especially if we aren't making any effort to mitigate our exposure.

Here at Denver Recovery Lounge, we offer a variety of modalities that can assist your body in optimizing detoxification. Good nutrition, hydration, and exercise are certainly paramount, but adding in a detox protocol can definitely help keep one's toxic burden from manifesting in illness.

In this informative video, Dr. Mark Hyman and Maggie Ward MS, RD, LDN, talk about How to Optimize Your Body's Detoxification System. In addition to taking a holistic approach that looks at an individual's entire spectrum of health, and first looking to food as medicine, they mention how utilizing a sauna can help in the detox process.

Our Sunlighten Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna generates a sweat that is 7x more detoxifying than a traditional sauna. Researchers have long known that toxic substances, including heavy metals, are eliminated from the body through sweat. Therefore, the more you can safely sweat (while maintaining proper hydration), the greater quantity of toxins will be released from your body. Infrared sauna usage is one of the most effective methods of inducing a detoxifying sweat.

The sauna isn't our only modality that aids in detoxification, but it is a great place to start. Our Thrive Membership includes unlimited sauna and iMRS mat, which is our Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency (PEMF) therapy, which you can learn more about here. At only $120/month, it pays for itself with just two hours of use. Book online or give us a call at 720-460-0003 to discuss options.
