Toxins accumulate in our body through our air, our food and our water. No matter how great of health you are in, you are exposed to toxins on a daily basis. Toxins have been shown to impact hormone levels and cause inflammation throughout the body leading to low libido (as well as a variety of other health problems).
The lymphatic system is part of our body that works extra hard to remove toxins. The lymphatic system will collect toxins from all over our body and bring them to the liver to help break them down. When we have a large amount of toxic accumulation, the lymphatic system can become congested. If this happens, we may experience a difficulty of toxins from being removed. This can contribute to low libido. In addition, other common symptoms that occur when our lymphatic system is not working as well include brain fog, fatigue, skin eruptions, headaches, migraines and digestive dysfunction.
We can support our body’s detoxification system through filtering our water and eating organic foods as much as possible. Epsom salt baths, dry skin brushing, far infrared saunas and detox foot baths all support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Some people do extreme fasting as a way of encouraging the body’s detoxification process. We tend to find that this is too extreme for many people. Intermittent fasting (16 hours between dinner and your next meal) encourages detox and is much easier for people to achieve. If you have never intermittent fasted, we recommend starting by fasting for 12 hours and slowly increase the time between meals. If you have thyroid disorders please proceed cautiously and monitor thyroid values as fasting can sometimes worsen thyroid conditions, which we see most commonly in women.
In addition, there are certain supplements that can really encourage your body’s detoxification and elimination process. These can be accessed below. Make sure if you are doing any sort of detoxification with the use of supplements, you are only proceeding if you have bowel movements daily. Toxins are largely eliminated through our bowels (also through our skin, urine and breath). If you are constipated and try to do the detoxification supplements, this may make you feel badly.
In our libido doctor programs we go through how toxins are related to a healthy libido. We also go over what these lab values mean, what a normal test looks like, how to talk to your doctor about them and how to get the support you need.
Labs can be ordered directly by consumer by joining our masterclass programs. We recommend looking for mycotoxins (mold toxins) as well as wide spread environmental toxin accumulation in your body
Please note that these tests can be costly and you can also just move forward with detoxing without testing as every human has toxic accumulation.
Please note that not all supplements on the market are the same and these are protocols that we have specifically put together after more than 15 years of experience. We do make a small commission off of the product sales (and pass some of this on to you) and appreciate you purchasing from the link below if possible as it helps our ability to continue to be able to offer free content!
