RETHINK WELLNESS Your body
is made for healing.

Every day, toxins in the air, food, water, household products, and public spaces enter your body, impacting its natural functions. Frustrating recurring symptoms aren't signs that your body is working against you – they're signs that you're missing what you need to heal.

Nature has equipped you with the most powerful medicine.

We have a body that knows how to seek and restore balance, protect you from pathogens and toxins, and regenerate parts of you that have been damaged. You are designed for health, yet environmental stressors impact your natural healing mechanisms.

We take it for granted…

that our bodies can thrive without intervention. When we accept pain, discomfort, poor sleep, and stress as a normal part of living, we overlook the long-term damage they can cause.

8.3M

deaths caused by environmental toxins worldwide in 20171

3.8M

deaths caused by indoor air pollution annually2

~50%

of water samples in the US contain toxic chemicals (PFAs)3

3,601

hazardous chemicals found in food contact items (packaging, etc.)4

As healing declines,
discomfort arises.

Your body has several self-healing systems, but health cannot thrive in an environment burdened by stressors. These stressors hinder healing, resulting in persistent discomfort and symptoms.

 
Self-Healing Mechanism

Signaling molecules (cytokines and histamines) trigger immune cells to remove damaged tissue, pathogens, and debris.

External Stressors

Stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, insufficient sleep, exposure to environmental toxins.

Resulting Symptoms

Fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues, weak immune system, skin conditions, allergies, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, mental health conditions. 5

Self-Healing Mechanism

Breaks down food into nutrients and strengthens immune defenses. Specialized cells in the gut lining prevent toxins from entering the bloodstream.

External Stressors

Poor diet, stress, lack of hydration, excessive alcohol, antibiotics, and some medications (like NSAIDs).

Resulting Symptoms

Heartburn/acid reflux, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, loose stool. 6

Self-Healing Mechanism

Cells, tissues, and organs work together to identify and neutralize foreign invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins.

External Stressors

Chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep, environmental pollutants and toxins.

Resulting Symptoms

A continually activated immune system becomes exhausted and weak. The result can be frequent infections, slow wound healing, chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and allergies. 7

Self-Healing Mechanism

Neurons communicate within the body, while neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin) regulate mood, sleep, and cognition. Neural health influences the inflammatory response and immune system.

External Stressors

Stress, poor sleep, low omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, refined or artificial sugars, heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, lack of mental stimulation.

Resulting Symptoms

Pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, physical weakness, dissociation, neurodegenerative diseases. 8

Self-Healing Mechanism

Delivers oxygen to cells for energy production, removes carbon dioxide, and filters polluted air.

External Stressors

Smog, dust, mold, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), indoor air pollution, sedentary lifestyles.

Resulting Symptoms

Coughing, wheezing, increased risk of chronic conditions including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular diseases. 9

Self-Healing Mechanism

Skin is the primary barrier against environmental pollutants, bacteria, and viruses. It regulates body temperature and protects against dehydration. It contains immune cells that neutralize potential threats and produce vitamin D.

External Stressors

UV exposure, air pollution, dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, harsh skin products, cleaning products.

Resulting Symptoms

Premature aging, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, hyperpigmentation, hair loss. 10

Self-Healing Mechanism

Circulates blood, oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells while removing carbon dioxide and waste products. It helps regulate body temperature, transport immune cells, and reduce inflammation.

External Stressors

Diets high in trans fats, refined sugar, and sodium. Physical inactivity, prolonged stress, smoking and alcohol, poor sleep.

Resulting Symptoms

Heart disease, atherosclerosis, stroke, hypertension, and poor circulation – all of which impair nutrient and oxygen delivery throughout the body. 11

Self-Healing Mechanism

The body’s main detoxification organ. Filters blood coming from the digestive tract before it circulates throughout the body and metabolizes toxins, drugs, and waste products into less harmful substances. Helps regulate blood sugar levels, cholesterol, hormones, and clotting factors.

External Stressors

Excessive alcohol, heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals, certain medications (especially painkillers like acetaminophen), physical inactivity.

Resulting Symptoms

Fatty liver disease, hepatitis, impaired digestion, hormonal imbalances, imbalanced gut microbiome. 12

Your wellness journey
has come to a crossroads

Treat the symptoms

Constantly rely on the same treatments and relieve your symptoms "for now."

Heal the root cause

Address the root cause and repair your self-healing mechanisms for the long term.

Choose the path of healing. Let your body be your medicine.

The Foundations
of Self-Healing

Support nature’s design and teach your body to heal itself.

Remove obstacles to wellness

The journey to healing starts with cleansing your internal system of accumulated toxins. Your gut microbiome and liver are key to your health, but they can’t function properly when overwhelmed by toxins and heavy metals.13 Persistent symptoms may be signals that these stressors are blocking your body’s ability to restore balance.

  • The Gut-Brain Axis: The gut and brain communicate bidirectionally through the vagus nerve, immune pathways, and a complex network of neurotransmitters, including serotonin, which is largely produced in the gut. An imbalance in gut bacteria can contribute to issues like anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating.14
  • The Liver-Brain Axis: The liver, responsible for protecting your bloodstream from toxins, helps your brain regulate energy and hormone levels. Improper liver function can disrupt these messaging pathways and cause harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. Resulting health concerns include insulin sensitivity, neurodegeneration, and risk of stroke.15

Eat whole nutrients for whole health

Consume clean, nutrient-dense foods to support everything from immune function to mental clarity. Supplement with essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to bridge any nutritional gaps and further optimize body function.

  • Fresh & Organic: Reduce your exposure to synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, growth hormones, and antibiotics.
  • Minimal Ingredients: Avoid artificial preservatives, colors, fillers, and sweeteners that may contribute to various health concerns, including mental health disorders, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and depression. 16
  • Plastic-Free Packaging: Choose glass or stainless steel packaging to keep your body free from endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA. 17
  • Filtered Water: Tap water can contain pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants.18 A high-quality water filter can help minimize your exposure to hidden toxins.

Live well for lasting vitality

Embrace a holistic lifestyle to restore balance within your body. Environmental stressors, poor habits, and emotional strain can disrupt your body’s natural functions. Your physical, mental, and emotional health are deeply interconnected – nurture each area to support its innate healing abilities.

  • Physical Health: Exercise, nutrition, and sleep support a strong body, resilience to stress, and a sense of confidence. 19
  • Mental Health: Positive thinking and healthy brain function help relax the body, soothe digestive stress, keep the immune system strong20, and bring a sense of ease to your days.
  • Emotional Health: The ability to recognize, understand, and manage your emotions helps you make clear decisions, reduce stress hormones, improve heart health, and feel satisfied.21
