How do you know YOU need a detox? Easy answer is EVERYONE needs a detox – at least once/year – some twice. Many are currently INUNDATED by “medications”, toxins in our food, air and water. We almost can’t escape exposure unless we live on a pristine mountain top away from all civilization! Some of the great results we see – better gut function, weight loss, decrease in inflammation and pain and better energy! Dr. Kelley discusses WHAT is a detox, WHY do we need it and HOW do we accomplish it at Raleigh Natural Wellness.

Should you fast? Well, I think everyone should fast - at least some times! We see AMAZING benefits from fasting. 1. Weight Loss – particularly belly fat loss 2. Increased Energy 3. Immune Boosting 4. Releases Human Growth Hormone (HGH) – fat-burning, lean muscle building 5. Balances Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels 6. Balances Hormone, Ghrelin – the “hunger hormone” 7. Lowers Trigylcerides - “sugar fats” 8. May Increase Longevity There are all sorts of types of fasting and I go through them in this video. From Water Fasting to Juice Fasting to Fasting Mimicking Diets (FMD) to Intermittent Fasting – there’s one that right for you! You must choose the appropriate fast for you, your body type and your end goals and then PREPARE AHEAD!! You do NOT want to go off coffee/caffeine cold-turkey nor do you want to binge on “crap food” the days before. Otherwise your fasting experience could be fairly challenging!

This week Dr. Kelley explains SIBO – small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. One of the biggest buzzwords in gut health these days. How common is it? Well, in our practice probably about 80% of clients test positive for SIBO. Challenge is that treating SIBO isn’t just about getting rid of the bacteria! Too many practitioners focus on killing the overgrowth of bacteria but spend very little time on what matters most – gut HEALING! We offer SIBO Testing at RNW so you can better understand if this is what you are dealing with! Give us a call at 919.909.0881 OR schedule a free Whole Healthy You™ Session (https://go.oncehub.com/WhySession) so you can see all the options we have to offer and if a SIBO Test is right for you!
