Our team specializes in supplementing your healthy lifestyle with essential oils that are customized to you. Your symptoms and lab results will reveal which food, fitness, and supplements should accompany your lifestyle for best results. We provide weekly classes that our members love so they can learn how to help themselves. Our practice members love learning ways to boost immunity with oils like oregano or rosemary that are antiseptic when diffused or used to clean surfaces. Whether it be to balance hormones, improve digestion, reduce anxiety, or some other ailment, our experts will add customized essential oil recommendations into your routine as one of the many ways we target the problems you’re facing. Ingesting oils is not recommended unless it is of food-grade quality and safe for ingestion. Topical use is helpful although can be dangerous if not applied with the appropriate carrier oil. Making your own cleaning products is another fun way to use oils instead of exposing yourself to carcinogenic, dangerous chemicals. Essential oils are a helpful adjunct, but rarely the sole intervention in a plan of care. Be sure to get a comprehensive evaluation with our team to know which oils are safe for you.

Is Your Liver Functioning as it Should?
Your liver is a powerhouse when it comes to detoxifying your body.
The liver is responsible for metabolizing and breaking down various toxins and harmful substances that enter the body, including drugs, alcohol, and environmental pollutants. These toxins are processed into less harmful forms, making them easier for the body to eliminate.
The liver produces bile, a greenish fluid that helps in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. Bile also acts as a vehicle for the excretion of certain waste products and toxins from the liver into the intestines, ultimately exiting the body through the feces.
The liver stores essential nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, which are vital for various biochemical processes. It releases these nutrients into the bloodstream as needed.
The liver filters blood from the digestive tract before it circulates throughout the body. This filtration process helps remove bacteria, toxins, and waste products that may be present in the blood after digestion.
The liver synthesizes glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage.
The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen, which can be rapidly converted back into glucose when the body needs energy. This helps stabilize blood sugar levels and ensures a steady energy supply.
Supporting your liver function is essential to maintaining optimal health – as you can see by all the amazing things it does!
