The first side of the Triangle of Health is to DETOX the heavy metals and chemicals from your body.  This is not the simple do-it-yourself cleanse that you read about in a magazine or online.  Detoxing is complex and should be individualized and monitored.  Many people come into my office stating that they have no toxins as they completed a 3-day or 3-week cleanse.  Yes, they may have cleared some toxins from the digestive tract and ‘feel’ better, but what about the toxins that are deep in the brain, organs and glands causing destruction and dysfunction to occur?   Using a technique called “Nutrition Response Testing,” I am able to test the brain, organs, glands and skin and find out which ones are being stressed and what the stressor is.  I am able to check for heavy metals, chemicals, yeast/fungus, parasites bacteria, virus, and allergies.  I can then test to see what YOUR body wants….not just put you on a protocol as most practitioners do…..to detox and then repair and regenerate the organs and glands.  We can find the root cause of a problem instead of bandaiding your symptoms with drugs or surgery. 

The second side of the Triangle of Health is Hormone Balance.  The majority of women and many men are Estrogen Dominant, meaning more Estrogen in relation to Progesterone.   Whether you’re experiencing PMS symptoms, Menopause or Andropause, the imbalance is a causative factor.  And this can happen from before puberty until death.  This imbalance can increase your risk of breast or uterine cancer, thyroid dysfunction, increased abdominal fat, anxiety, depression, etc.    Then there is hypothyroidism, which is an epidemic in our country.   Doctors do their patients a disservice by performing minimal testing for Thyroid function.  Millions of women are wandering from practitioner to practitioner trying to find out why they are so tired, overweight/can’t lose weight, cold, constipated, having hair loss, dry skin/hair, etc.  They end up on an antidepressant so they won’t feel so bad about feeling so bad.  Proper testing is the key and Thyroid is my expertise.  Next are the adrenals.  Most people in this country are in adrenal fatigue or complete adrenal exhaustion by the time they are 35. Our stressful lives and the toxic condition of our bodies cause the adrenals to overwork, and they can only do that for so long.  Adrenal dysfunction affects our energy level, blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, our mood, concentration, bone and muscle growth, abdominal fat, thyroid function, risk of some cancers, etc.   For the weight loss aspect of hormone balance….Estrogen dominance and high cortisol can cause an increase in abdominal fat.  But, not having abdominal fat does not exclude you from having imbalances in these hormones.    Hypothyroidism slows down the rate that the body burns fat and can therefore cause weight gain throughout the body.             I do want to briefly mention the Neurotransmitters of the brain (Serotonin, Dopamine, etc).  They work together with the hormones in the body.  It is essential that they all are in a balanced state or it can result in dysfunctions in the brain an body.

The final side of the Triangle of Health is Alkalizing the body.  When we are born, we have an alkaline PH, which quickly becomes acidic due to the foods and liquids we put in our bodies….even bottled and filtered waters.  Stress and toxins create much acid in our bodies.  Healthy cells cannot live in an acid body….but, bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeast and CANCER thrive in an acidic environment.   When one starts to become alkalized, diseases such as arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and even cancers begin to resolve.   Energy levels increase, brains become more clear and focused.   And the weight loss aspect of Alkalizing is…………acids are buffered by fat.  So, as you begin to eliminate the acids from the body, the need for the fat is again diminished, as with the loss of toxins.

So, there you have the 3 factors in the Triangle of Health
