Time to Cleanse?

As a functional medicine physician it is critical to educate and inspire my patients to stay nutrient strong and to detox the excess toxins from the body on a regular basis.  I do encourage cleanses, ideally with the season changes or at least twice a year.  The New Year is a time often that patients ask for guidance on a cleanse option.  We have many different options which involve medical support such as  Medical detox shake,  probiotic, and ColonX. We always encourage a clean diet, and we have take-home guides available to assist you. Visit the store, or make an appointment with one of the practitioners at the Healing Gardens, to see which cleanse we might guide you through. Our new ones that are easy and self-explanatory include OptimetaboliX, or Opti cleanse GHI. Pam, our nutritionist, can now help you in the store as well.
