Can’t Lose Weight Despite Diet & Exercise? – It May Be Toxins!

We’ve all tried diets and exercise programs and, if you are like most people, your results are never what you truly expect. Sure, anyone can lose a little weight, but lasting results seem to never occur. In fact, many times people lose weight only to regain their previous weight plus some.   This is because, Diets Don’t Work, and has been something that I have shared in some of my previous blogs.

Diets typically don’t work because most ignore the underlying problem of weight gain.   Although there is some aspect of caloric control that must be monitored in order to lose weight, it is not the MOST important thing when it comes to weight loss.

As many of you know by now, weight loss is a hormonal issue. Leptin is the hormone in your body that regulates fat usage and IF your body can hear it, your body will utilize FAT for energy and if your body cannot hear Leptin, it will store Fat instead.

One of the MOST common reasons that Leptin is not heard by YOUR body is because your Leptin Receptors are interfered by TOXINS.

Yes, Toxins!

Believe it or not, you are bombarded with toxins EVERYDAY! From the pesticides on the foods to the cosmetics that we use, you constantly are being exposed to toxins.

Did you know that there are OVER 80,000 registered chemicals in the United States? In fact, OVER 1,500 NEW chemicals are introduced EVERY YEAR and ONLY about 5-10 are actually tested for safety!

Women, did you know that you apply an average of 515 chemicals to your body DAILY? Not only are most of these chemicals NEVER tested for safety, there has been absolutely NO testing on the synergistic affects of these chemicals.

You see, when you begin to mix and accumulate ALL of these toxins in your body on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis, your body has to go through the improbable task of eliminating them from your body. And the reality is……,

YOUR BODY CANNOT ELIMINATE THESE TOXINS FROM YOUR BODY!

I know that you have been told that your body has “detoxifying organs” and the chemical exposure that you experience is “so small” that there is no real danger, but that is simply a convenient argument that these manufactures like to make.

Yes, you do have organs in your body that deal with toxins. And yes, your body CAN eliminate some of these toxins. But the TRUTH is: Because your body is exposed to SO MANY toxins, there is no way that it can keep up.

How do I know this? Just look at the research. There has been numerous studies that have shown that contaminants such as perchlorates, pthalates, bisphenol-A, dioxin, lead, mercury, and many other persistent organic pollutants (POPs), heavy metals, and solvents have been found in breast milk.

Other studies show that the average person carries over 300 chemical pollutants, pesticides and toxic metals in their organs and tissues: 300 synthetic chemicals acquired from foods, drugs and personal care products – and like I already stated, the combined effect of these chemicals is entirely unknown.

In fact, researchers are continuing to discover traces of chemicals and other pesticides in children that were banned over 50 years ago! So not only are you exposed to toxins from your own environment, some of these toxins are being passed down from parent to child.

Because of this constant bombardment of chemicals, many people are suffering from Neurotoxicity. Neurotoxicity is the accumulation of toxins in your body that wreak havoc on your systems. Toxins can attach and inhibit the communication of your Leptin receptors, in your hypothalamus, to the Leptin produced by your fat cells. This results in FAT STORAGE instead of Fat Burning.

Not only does your hormone Leptin become imbalanced, but because your hypothalamus controls other major areas of your body like your Thyroid, hormones like estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and testosterone can become imbalanced as well.

Not until you remove the toxins from your body will you ever experience true healing and hormone balance. This is why throwing additional synthetic AND bio-identical hormones at the problem rarely result in lasting changes. The system is broken, and simply adding additional hormones to the body will not fix it.

You must first identify WHAT toxins are present in your body, VSC test and urine analysis, and then work with a qualified health professional to remove them. Failure to appropriately identify these toxins could result in improper and ineffective detoxifying procedures. This is why our office uses the latest lab testing and proven protocols to help individuals through this process.

Foot baths, colon cleanses, and herbal protocols WILL NOT remove many of these toxins! You must detox at a CELLULAR level. Although these products can have some benefits, they unfortunately will not address the true underlying problem, cellular inflammation.

So, if you would like to Jump Start your weight loss and address one of the MAJOR underlying problems to weight loss resistance, Remove the Toxins. By removing the toxins in your body you will be making another huge step toward Achieving Optimal Wellness.
