Why You Should Do a Detox

The body is a sacred temple, the house of your spirit, and life energy. If our physical body is not up to speed, we’re more likely to be tired, holding onto extra weight, and not be living to our full potential. Daily life can feel like a chore because we just don’t feel good and because our body systems are full of junk or blocked.

Just as we take our cars to the shop to clean the engine and get a tune-up, so do our bodies need to be cleaned and tuned-up with a detox from time to time. Continue reading “Why You Should Do a Detox”
