Detoxing Your Way to Health

Following a practitioner led detox program can be one of the most effective strategies for rapidly improving the state of your health. Why involve your holistic practitioner? Simply put, they can help you design the best detox for you, taking into account your lifestyle, current health challenges and overall health goals. Not only that, but a practitioner is a valuable resource who can check progress and help get you back on course, should the need arise. But more about this later – let’s first discuss the fundamentals of detox.

The main features of a detox program are:
  1. Reducing the exposure to toxins through dietary and lifestyle changes
  2. Removing bad bacteria and waste from your digestive system
  3. Rebuilding and renewing your digestive lining, replacing the bad bacteria with healthy ones and improving your digestive function
  4. Helping your body release toxins more effectively
Toxins come in two categories, environmental (external) and endogenous (made in your body). Environmental toxins include things like heavy metals, chemicals, drugs, bacterial and microbial toxins. These are present in the air, water and food that we consume. Endogenous toxins include hormones and other chemicals that are produced in the body and chemicals produced by bacteria in your digestive system that enters the blood stream.

So Why Do I Need to Detox?
Toxins build up in the body over time. Detoxing is designed to aid removal of these toxins from within the body quickly and efficiently. Detoxing has amazing benefits for all who undertake it, but how do you know if you really should retox?

Symptoms and Signs of Toxicity
Any disease can be made worse by toxicity; however, some of the most common signs and symptoms of too much toxicity in the body include:
  1. Regular headaches
  2. Muscle aching and weakness
  3. Nerve pain or numbness
  4. Recurrent infections
  5. Poor short-term memory and concentration
  6. Sensitivity to environmental chemicals, odours and potentially foods
  7. Chronic fatigue and lethargy
  8. Anxiety and/or mood swings

The Two Main Factors That Influence Toxic Load

There are two main factors that influence your body’s toxic load, and the impact this has on your health. The first is the amount and type of toxin exposure. The second relates to your body’s ability to detoxify. Two people with similar toxic exposure can respond very differently to a detox, with one having no noticeable positive effects and the other developing chronic illness. The first person has a better capacity to detoxify. If you choose to embark on a detox program with me then you will be given a program designed to address both issues, by reducing your toxic exposure, and also improving your detoxification ability.

Vibrant Nutrition Detox Solutions

Vibrant Nutrition has a range of detox options (both in detox duration and detox content) to suit your individual needs and lifestyle. These range from simple dietary changes (for people looking to re-balance their weight and health) to an assisted detox using diet and supplements (for people with more pronounced symptoms such as fatigue, obesity, low immunity, lack of sex drive, disrupted sleep).

21 Day Whole Food Detox

This 21 day detox is for those looking to start the New Year on a new footing. The detox is about removing the foods that have a negative impact on our health and increasing fresh, nutritious and natural foods that support our health and the detoxification process.

After 3 weeks eating these supportive foods you will feel your energy has been boosted, your skin is clearer and you will have dropped the weight you gained from any indulgence over Christmas and New Year. You’ll likely feel so much more energized that you won’t want to re-introduce some of the foods that harm us back into your diet, but will keep going with the foods that heal.

2 Week Express Detox

For those looking to loose the few kilos they added over the Christmas and New Year period with some extra support. We use a clean, natural diet and herbs and nutrients scientifically formulated to support a healthy digestive system, enhance detoxification and assist the elimination of heavy metals from the body. There are ingredients to help alkalise the urine and support the elimination of toxins via the kidneys. Urine alkalisation enhances the elimination of toxins during detoxification.

Comprehensive 6 Week Supported Detox

Simple 3 Stage Strategy for Safe, Effective and Comprehensive Detoxification

  1. Assessment – We use urinary indicans & heavy metal testing conducted in our consulting rooms to assess dysbiosis (intestinal dysfunction caused by an imbalance in gut bacteria, candida or parasites) & severity of toxicity. This will help indicate the level of detox needed by each individual client.
  2. Stage 1 – Remove or dramatically reduce the level of dysbiotic bacteria, fungi and parasitic organisms that may be present in the gut. Removes waste & toxins being produced by dysbiotic organisms.
  3. Stage 2 – Renew – once the dysbiosis has been reduced the aim is to re-inoculate the digestive system with beneficial (probiotic) bacteria and to support the integrity of the gut lining with glutamine and other nutrients. This renews tissue health by helping to clear stored heavy metals and renews and restores the acid/alkaline balance of the body.
  4. Stage 3 – Realease – the final stage of detoxification is designed to enhance the capacity and function of the body’s waste removal systems – predominantly the liver, gall bladder and kidneys. In this stage the focus is on increasing the release of toxins stored in the body, as well as increasing the release of bile to facilitate excretion of waste via the faeces.
  5. Final Assessment – Re-test for dysbiosis & dietary tactics going forward to prevent returning to a state where detox is needed.

Testimonials

   Before the Sugar Detox I was a little sluggish, overloaded and overweight. I was surely overdoing the sugar intake and the alcohol! By the end of the detox I'd lost 3.2Kg, I definitely have more energy and am enjoying getting out of the house and onto the beach or to the pool for some exercise. Herbal teas have become my staple, I really enjoy them. I certainly would and have recommended this detox to other people looking to improve their health and lose weight.     — Sue Reid, QLD

   Before the program I was suffering from bloating of the stomach, reflux, insomnia and depression. The Hair Tissue Mineral sample results showed I had heavy metal toxicity and high levels of arsenic in my system. Lisa quickly put together a program of natural remedies and a quality diet to help me repair, renew and release toxins from my body. After the first week I began to benefit in lots of ways. I was sleeping less but better quality sleep and my thoughts became more positive.

After six weeks I lost 3 inches off my waist without exercise (after 6 weeks I’d lost 5Kg). Lisa did all this for me while I was living in a different city via the internet and phone and even after the program was complete she still keeps in contact for any further help. So change your life today, just decide. Many thanks Lisa     — Jason Manuel, Brisbane

   Just wanted to let you know that after two months on krill oil and adjusting the diet my cholesterol reading came down from 8.5 to 6.8. I know I have a way to go but so grateful for the improvement.     — Brenda Botha, Sydney

   Your knowledge of food and what's in it is amazing. I thought my choice of food and diet was pretty good, but you re-educated me. It's amazing what great results you can get from small changes - if everyone visited you (and listened to you!), there would be a lot more healthy, happy and energetic people in the world - well Sydney anyway! I certainly reached my goal in terms of weight loss. 


I feel really good about my body and people have complimented me a lot at how much better I look. My clothes are falling off me so I have to go shopping! Thanks so much Lisa.

   Lisa, your passion for good food is infectious. I have started reading labels and simply don't buy things that have half a dozen E numbers in them anymore! It takes a few more minutes each day to make a salad however it is very yummy and time well spent. I would recommend such a group detox to anyone as we have had your tireless and non-judgmental support.     — Diane, North Ryde

   I recently began working with Lisa doing phone consultations. This was very appealing for me as I live out of Sydney and this often excludes me from having access to many services. I find phone consultations so easy even if I did live in Sydney as travelling around Sydney can be full of traffic and time consuming so am very happy to skip all the travel. The phone consultation means we can catch up for shorter calls but more regularly for the same price as longer face to face consultations so the regular shorter calls help me to be more accountable to my goals.

I have found Lisa to be a most helpful in assisting me with my health goals and grateful to have access to her expertise in such a convenient manner.     — Gabrielle Booty, Nowra

   Lisa helped me to understand about foods and specifically which foods help increase energy levels. I’ve introduced new foods into my diet that are healthy for me and my whole family. I have enjoyed taking the challenge of a detox, which I may not have done without her support.     — J.B. Epping

   I'm still losing weight (albeit slowly) since the sugar detox last year and I'm 3kg away from my wedding weight!!!! I still want to be a few kg's lighter than that, so I'm still working very hard at my diet and exercise. 


My diet is way better than my exercise regime, due to time constraints but I feel I'm doing well. As far as my diet is concerned, I've cut out ALL SUGAR (yes it's true - no sugar over Easter either!) and it's easy easy! By sugar, I mean anything processed with sugar, like chocolate, cereals, lollies etc... I still eat fruit and I still eat yogurt every night after dinner as my 'treat', but it's an organic, low in sugar yoghurt and satisfies me. 

I don't eat much bread and I have now got the entire family eating mountain bread and I'm eating a little more meat than I like, but often I'm happy with a salad for dinner with a little feta and that satisfies me. 

So, hopefully when I see you next, you'll be pleasantly surprised :) It's a wonderful lifestyle change and I feel fabulous for it. So much more energy!

   Before coming for treatment I felt bloated, lethargic and unfit. It’s a work in progress but already I feel more energetic. Life seems more exciting, more enjoyable. It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time.     — Norma Molloy, North Ryde

   Felt a lot less bloated, my tummy felt "at ease" and much flatter, which was great. Do seem to have more energy. My skin is clearer and I lost 2.5Kg. Made me realise just how much hidden sugar I consume, and how much I pick at food all day. I'm now aware of how much soft drink I was drinking, and how at night time after all the kids are finally asleep I slump in front of the TV and eat lots of junk.
Very happy that I did this, and am quite amazed that I stuck to it really well, though I did finish a day early. Would really like to do it again in 6 months.     — Susan Mason, North Ryde

   I recently participated in Lisa’s sugar detox program and it was great. Going back to food basics and not consuming anything from a ‘packet’ really had a positive effect on me  both physically and mentally. I found that even within the first few days, I wasn’t bloated after meals and I didn’t have sugar cravings in the afternoon. You don’t realise how much rubbish is in our everyday foods, even the ‘healthy’ ones, until you start reading labels…it’s frightening. I learned so much about food in general and how to cook a healthy, preservative free meal, it’s become a normal part of my everyday diet now.     — Tanzie Clarke, Rhodes
