One thing I see ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ with new clients is this:
Theyโre ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐.
And somehow people think thatโs normal.
๐๐โ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐.
If youโre not having ๐ฎ๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐, your body is holding on to things it was designed to eliminate.
That means:

In functional medicine we often say:
โ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐
๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฒ.โ
Your liver packages up toxins, excess hormones, and wasteโฆ
but your ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐
๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฟ.
If that door isnโt opening regularly, your body is basically ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ.
Not ideal.
So if youโre:
โข Only going every few days
โข Needing coffee or laxatives to go
โข Feeling bloated or uncomfortable
โข Struggling with stubborn weight or hormone issues
โฆit may be time to look deeper at ๐ด๐๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐, ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ ๐ณ๐น๐ผ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐บ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ.
