Healing Arts Live Well, Eat Well, Be Well

Taking care of your skin is not just about using the right beauty products. It’s about making sure your detox pathway are open and the liver is strong enough to detox properly so the skin doesn’t have to.  The skin is the largest detox organ the body has.  If you have any skin issue: acne, itchiness, rosacea, psoriasis, hives, eczema, etc. know that it is due to the body having trouble detoxing something.  To figure out what that something is we muscle test to get the biofeedback from the body.  We can identify 42 different heavy metals and 41 heavy chemicals that could be stuck in your body causing your skin issue.  
Healing the skin is an inside out job.  On the inside, if any toxin is not properly detoxed by finding it’s way to the liver and then broken down and moved to the intestine to be excreted then the body will push it out through the skin as another way of getting rid of the toxins. If too many toxins come through the skin then you start to see a reaction. We can help your skin by giving the body the right nutrition through diet and food supplements to open up detox pathways, support the liver and heal the skin. With the right nutrition the skin can heal.

Weight loss can be a tricky thing for a lot of people because it is hormonal based.  If you want to lose weight there are 3 phases to doing it in a healthy way. The first phase is the transition to restore metabolism. Once that is established then the second phase is when the body starts losing weight. The third and final step is to maintain optimal health and keep the weight off. Dr. Armitstead explains in this podcast how your hormones will change in response to the nutrition and lifestyle changes that you'll make. Your body will also rebuild at the cellular level with nutrients that were not available during previous poor habits. The more damaged the current metabolism, the longer it will take for this process to be complete. Once someone has healed their metabolism, only then they are primed to lose fat and move on to phase two.  You will learn why some people take longer than others to lose weight.  Those that take the longest are said to be weight loss resistant.
