The Importance of Personalized Detoxification
When I first came to hear about the concept of “personalized detoxification”, my approach towards detoxes changed and has never been the same since.
The reason I first became involved in helping others with their unique detoxification goals is I passionately believe in the “Start with a Clean Slate” phrase and mentality - which can be applied to many aspects of our lives – especially with our diets and health. In order to create space for positive change in our bodies, we first need to provide a clean slate (via drainage, detoxification, cleansing) in order to increase the potential for healing.
The science behind personalized detoxification is incredibly extensive and is focused on the individual. When it comes to detoxification, what works for one person has little to no effect on a second person, and can make a third person worse.
Promoters of popular detox diets encounter this scenario at some point: They read something out there and how it was successful in helping people. They put it forward to a client and it works wonderfully, but then when recommending the same protocol to another client, they discover that it fails. The problem is many people follow "hear-say" or recommend what worked for them (which may not work for someone else), leaving out the person's unique situation and detoxification needs.
Most of us can relate to this. It is exactly the same experience of the person wanting to quickly lose weight by trying a friend’s green juice or Keto diet, only to find that it is impossible to follow and causes her to binge-eat instead!
It is a tremendous irony that we find ourselves amongst an extraordinary information overload with the internet and social media. However, instead of bringing greater clarity, we find the confusion only deepening. Information is at our fingertips, but what does it mean in terms of practical application in an individual case? Where is the framework or the reference point from which sense can be made of the virtually endless stream of seemingly unrelated and contradictory pieces of information?
It’s not possible to offer one single detoxification protocol for everyone.
Why? Because everyone’s biochemistry, toxicity risk levels and detoxification capacity are different. Even between people living in the same house, with similar environments! There is no "universal" detox plan that is right for absolutely everyone. And that’s actually good news!
It means that we need to look at the individual and evaluate what works for that individual specifically. For that reason, scientific research is moving towards a more individualized approach, and the primary application of personalized detoxification has been formulated into specific evaluation systems and proprietary methodologies developed by leading scientists and researchers at The Health Sciences Academy whom I had the privilege to learn from.
