4 Basic Detox Pathways Explained

As always, I’m not here as a provider to treat, diagnose, or cure anything at all! Just sharing what I’ve learned about healing along the way in the event that it helps you too!

People comment all the time on my energy levels and vitality. It’s not a lie or a facade I put on. I legitimately feel GOOD, with real energy and optimal health while I’m also treating my Lyme and healing my body. 


It’s not because of a magic pill or miracle herb. 


It’s actually largely due to something my body is designed to do all on its own.


A LARGE part of my overall wellness and spunk stems from my body's ability to DETOX out the crap that weighs me down. And this is true for you too!


Sometimes our detoxification pathways in our bodies need some support to do their best work for us. Let me tell ya the simplest, down-and-dirty way I approach this necessary healing topic. 


So much of our health is based on our body’s ability to not just kill off or beat out the “bad guys” and “junk,” but also to ELIMINATE or detoxify from the results of that killing and breaking down. Lyme warriors know this well, as we who are treating are constantly working on killing off the Lyme spirochete and other coinfections. Our immune systems are working in high gear to optimize our health. 


Our bodies also have a natural detoxification happening all the time. As cells die off through natural means, damaged cells are discarded, our toxic burden is turned over internally, heavy metals are purged, etc, etc, our amazing bodies are always doing their jobs to eliminate the crud and junk so that the “good guys” can flourish and nourish.


I think of detox as starting with 4 basic pathways - or elimination systems - within our bodies. Pretty much all detox I can think of goes through one or more of these pathways, so therefore, optimizing each of them is CRUCIAL to optimized wellness. 


The 4 Main Pathways Are:

1. Pee

2. Poo

3. Sweat

4. Lymph


It really is that simple! 

Urinate frequently and hydrate effectively. 

Move your bowels 2-3x/day with formed, soft stools. 

Sweat regularly. 

Keep your lymphatic system moving lymph fluid and avoid stagnancy. 


Now just HOW can we simply and effectively achieve high functioning detox pathways??

          Half my lifetime ago I was expecting to be permanently disabled or even dead at a young age unless I found a way back to hope and health. As a result of a mystery illness, I was nearly bed-ridden as a teenager. Sometimes I had to CRAWL up the 7 steps to my bedroom to get to bed because I couldn’t walk that far. I HAD to nap every single day. I was in *constant* burning, aching pain throughout my body and experienced exhaustion and brain fog so bad I could barely communicate. I had quit all sports, babysitting and other jobs. My ambitions, successes, sense of self, and LIFE were slipping through my fingers. I had been misdiagnosed with autoimmune conditions for years only to finally discover that Lyme disease and co-infections were the primary culprit of my medical mysteries. At the time of my diagnosis, I was spiraling into depression, helplessness, and hopelessness.  I had no idea where this journey would take me, but I could not see a light at the end of it, and that was just plain scary.
 
          My mom took me to many doctors, but none specialized in Lyme and tick borne illnesses. They all treated the symptoms I was having as best as they could, but I was still getting slowly worse, or having side effects from medications I was being put on. So my mom and I sought alternative options out of desperation. Homeopathy, diet changes, proper supplements, and rest finally started to lead me into healing and the fog started to lift. During that time, myofascial release from a certified massage therapist was one of the most helpful modalities I tried. She used essential oils too, and that was officially my first introduction to their power. All of these alternative options helped me survive, start to thrive, and begin the next leg of my journey: becoming a nurse. I thrived in a career that combined science, research, and helping others through their suffering and health goals. In my young adult years, I finally had the opportunity to continue my treatment and health journey with a Lyme specialist, which has helped me heal more fully than I ever would have thought possible 10yrs ago. 

          I knew that as I got married, started a family, and was working on healing my body, I had some big goals: 1) to be there for my family and to be able to care for them fully and 2) to have a non-toxic home and life in order to live our best lives. My cousin shared with me some of her journey, which had similarities to my own. She was using some things I was already curious about, including essential oils and specialized supplements. I was HOOKED after the first sample I tried! I could now clearly visualize the next steps of my healing journey - hope had returned!
              
          Now, I have endless hope. I can LIVE LIFE. This is the healthiest I’ve truly been since about age 14 and I’m thriving! I’ve been able to advocate for my own 4 babies, 3 of whom have ended up with Lyme too. I’m dedicated to using my nursing background and love of education in combination with appreciation for functional medicine and alternative therapies to help everyone I can. My hope is renewed. I am empowered and equipped. I’m enjoying and embracing the journey and want to help YOU to be able to have all of that too!
