It’s important to know that everything in nature is explained by energy. Our western world has made us analytical and narrow minded when it come to our health. On this page I am going to explain the science behind our existence and how a nutritional reset also known as a detox has a significant part in our mental function as well as our physcial function. I will also explain why we need to shift our relationship with food, how stress is the root cause of disease and what TCM does to address it. I feel that it’s important to address what are toxins and the best detoxification methods.
We are a part of a vast invisible field of energy that contains all possible realities and responds to our thoughts and our feelings. You can use your mind to create your own reality. We must come to a new understanding of self and the world so we can embrace new knowledge and have new experiences.
At the subatomic level, energy responds to your mindful attention and becomes matter. When we direct the observer effect and kill the infinite wave of probability into the reality you choose you will get better at observing the life that you want.
Scientifically, everything in the universe is made up of subatomic particles like electrons. They are pure potential. They exist everywhere and nowhere that potential everything and nothing until we give it attention and knowledge. That means in our physical reality we are pure potential.
In other words, if you can imagine a future event in your life based on any one of your personal desires, the reality already exists and a possibility in the quantum field waiting to be observed and that desire can influence the appearance of any possibility.
Shifting our eating habits allows us to step into functioning at our high resonance. Before the introduction of certain pesticides used on crops, common health concerns evolved at a much later age in life. Since 1960 we have been seeing a progression of undiagnosed illness that remains a mystery until the body is in complete breakdown. TCM doctors recommend a five-layer approach to optimal health.
Why should I shift my eating habits?
I’m going to provide you a list of health concerns that point to reasons to make a lifestyle change. Holistic TCM doctors will help you navigate your wellness journey.
Meanwhile, I want you to think about your life and what you’ve accomplished in health. Then I want you to think about what you want to accomplish in life in both your career and in health. Achieving both means taking a journey within.
On this page, we will reframe why a nutritional cellular reset is necessary and some best practices. First let’s take a brief look at stress.
Stress is the root cause of disease
https://antonikachanel.com/tcm-telehealth/Stress is the body’s natural reaction to any obstacles or changes emotionally or physically we confront in life. Both types of stress, mental or physical have an impact on health on all levels. Stress can affect they way we work, how we function in our day to day life and can have long term consequences on both your health and your work. TCM can provide a one-of-a-kind approach to stress management that is free of the negative side effects associated with antidepressant medications. TCM consist of five branches of wellbeing, nutritional therapy, acupuncture, exercise therapy, herbal formula and supplementation. These five branches produce significant reductions in the harmful effects of long-term stress over time. All five branches when used together have an over all positive effect on prevention of disease and in many cases reversing health concerns when working along side a TCM doctor.
What Are Toxins In the Body?
ver the last 20-30-40 years, these things have been accumulating within your body on a daily basis. Toxins or toxins are what we term certain substances. Imagine all of these things accumulating in the body over time; where are they going to be stored?
The best spot to be is by the fat cells, but not just every fat cell. The optimal location is where you have the fattest cells, also known as the storage fat. (Put your hands on your stomach and problem areas.) But there you have it, up to a pound per year, just lying there.
the body will attempt to tell you in a variety of ways. Slow breathing, freezing hands, and feet, varicose and spider veins, dry skin on the thighs, cellulite, swollen, bloated feels, acid reflux, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome, stomach aches, inflammation, rashes, and irritations, water loss, and very low energy levels are also possible symptoms. Plus, stubborn fat.
Chemical buildup and toxic load must be eliminated from the body for efficiency in any multi system machine, that includes your body. Holistic doctors refer to this process as detoxification. To ensure that the body functions at its best at all times, it must be cleansed from the inside as well as the outside. Unfortunately, our fast-paced, processed-food lifestyles, which include genetically engineered, hormone-enriched, and extensively fertilized food, tainted water, and extremely polluted air, make it impossible for most of us to not have the ability to consume as many nutrients as we need to fight the pressures of daily life, sustain energy levels, or our immune systems.
The body has an amazing ability to heal itself. When we suffer a wound, a broken joint, a torn muscle, or a bacterial infection, our bodies immediately set to work to heal the injury. When you hear others saying that the body naturally cleanse it self, though that is some what true, there are more reasons to cleanse internally.
Toxic chemicals that end up in our dinner uninvited, including those that have accumulated over time, can be removed from the body through detoxification. it’s important that you learn a healthy protocol from a TCM wellness professional before beginning so that you can get the best out of your nutritional cellular reset in the least amount of time possible.”
As for every new lifestyle regimen, contact a TCM holistic doctor before beginning your detox lifestyle program, especially if you are currently taking any drugs or have an underlying medical condition. It’s important to see a specialist, to determine if a cellular reset is right for you and to guarantee that you won’t aggravate any existing medical problems. The most common signs and symptoms that point to the need for a cellular reset are as follows:
- Overweight
- Protruding Abdomen
- Have been or are a Smoker
- Facial Puffiness
- Fluid Retention or Bloating
- Abdominal Pain, Tenderness, or Cramping
- Skin Blemishes or Sallow Complexion
- Offensive Body Odor
- Bad Breath
- Gas, Burping, or Flatulence
- Coated Tongue
- High-Stress Levels
What is the Best Detoxification Method?
Dr. Mark Precival’s publication, Nutritional Support for Detoxification, Advanced Publications 1997, identifies that the detoxification has to go through a two-phase process (which juice or water-based programs don’t do). Using a broad-based nutritional approach that takes the toxin from being a lipid-soluble, non-polar toxin that is not readily excreted to a water-soluble, polar, end product that can be excreted.
If these phases are not met, we may end up with more free radicals (we successfully up-regulate activity in phase 1 which will make people feel worse during detoxification, but not have sufficient levels of antioxidants to protect against free radicals in step 2 which end the process in more harm than good). Both require energy and adequate levels of supporting nutrients that will not occur in juice and water-based detoxification programs.
An average amount of weight loss that can be accomplished on a regular basis is 15-20 pounds per month. If you’re losing at least ten pounds every month, you’re on a great program. Even if you don’t have weight to lose, your body will lean up and collagen production will improve meaning that you will less likely sag or have that sallow look. If you are participating in a cellular reset for health concerns other than weight loss, the body knows exactly what to do with the organic fruits and vegetables and will assimilate and process the food accordingly. There are cases when certain foods just can’t be digested and this is where a TCM holistic doctor comes in to point out the exact details that yield results that one wouldn’t get otherwise. Sometimes the body will not and can not process certain foods especially if digestive concerns are an issue. When digestive issues are a concern this is when we need to make an assessment using certain labs. Usually, we need to peel back the layers of the onion to get to the root, trying and get to the root by taking more supplementation or eliminating foods to find temporary relief.
I address weight loss on this page because many people are gaining more like 20 and 30lbs of extra weight in recent years and weight gain is a comorbidity that results in health concerns that are undiagnosed. The root of weight gain is toxicload.
A pound per day of weight loss is a reasonable amount of weight loss to attain if you are more than 50 pounds overweight. The simplest nutritional reset methods for weight loss are juicing, preparing green smoothies, eating nutrient rich and dense foods. The most nutrient rich dense foods are superfoods. A combination of eating superfoods and juicing while taking supplements can pivot your health and reset long term health blueprint for life.
Juicing
There negative and positives to jucing. The good news is, it’s a practice that can be done in a convient way when you take on a TCM doctor to customize your wellness plan in the by creating a lifestyle that you can live with.
Juicing is a process. It’s time-consuming, and you can not be in a rush. Over time the juicing process will become faster. Treat your juicing practice like meditation.
The amount of nutrients and vitality you get from juicing can never be replaced with supplements or store-bought juice. I recommend downloading a few apps for your device. Joe Cross and Super Juice Me by Jason Vale. You can juice without thinking. If you don’t have a juicer already, my most recommended juicer is by Nama Wellness at Namawell.com I’ll even offer you a 10% discount with my code NAMASUP10 Nama wellness juicers extract all the liquid from fruits and vegetables, and you can use the pulp in individual dishes like spaghetti. I have tried many juicers, and this is the best one so far. If you already have an omega, I enjoy the omega too, but nothing lower than the 900 models—juice daily. Prepare your juice the night before and keep them in a sealed metal container.
Here’s some tips:
Consume at least 32oz a day. Consume your juice within 24 hours after preparation.
Refrain from extraneous exercise while juicing because you are not consuming the calories needed to burn in a work out. Juicing practices should be guided if approaching them for the first time.
One of the most creative online tools I’ve seen is the Juice Fasting Lifestyle Summit by Mitch Asser. This a FREE 7-day access to the Fasting Lifestyle Summit that is guaranteed to educate you on everything you need to know to get your fasting game on.
In the past I have worked with clients virtually and seen great results over a long period of time. To help others I have written a program that called the 14 Day Challenge. I’ve noticed after working with a client for seven months, not everyone has the time to juice daily and fiddle with the set up and clean up. I have reverted to a faster way of getting organic nutrient dense food into our lifestyle without all the fuss and that’s through my cellular rest program that’s easy to do and fits any schedule.
Another way restore health is by developing a customized lifestyle plan that mets your busy lifestyle standards and according to your wellness needs. In practice I see many patients who are on medication and are told that the medication is a life long recommendation. Though I do agree that there is a place for medication in our life, however, it’s should be a temporary recommendation with the idea of making lifestyle changes that will support our deficiencies and improve our entire outcome rather than pacifying the symptoms temporarily.
