We believe in focusing on the drainage funnel
Supporting the liver, colon, gallbladder, lymphatic system, kidneys, and mitochondria is crucial for both the healing journey and maximizing human potential. This principle applies not only to performance athletes but also to individuals who have battled illness for extended periods. Concentrating on supporting and strengthening the body's organs responsible for detoxification lays the groundwork for achieving optimal health. The funnel diagram above illustrates the sequential process through which the body eliminates toxins, providing a visual representation of this vital aspect of bodily function.
COLON
First, we focus on colon health.
You should be having 1-3 healthy bowel movements a day (either a Type 3 or Type 4 on the Bristol Stool Chart).
If you’re not, focus on this first!
LIVER AND BILE DUCTS
Next, we want to support the liver and bile ducts.
Give the body's natural filtration systems a helping hand. Support your detox organs, including your gallbladder and liver, and begin to ease their toxic burden. The liver has a multi-phase detoxification process that helps move toxins into the bile, but it also processes and cleanses the blood. The liver, in fact, has over 500 vital functions! Pathogens, toxins, lack of exercise, and other factors can lead to stagnation of the bile, which leads to a clogged liver and bile duct system.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
The lymphatic system, often referred to as the body's secondary circulatory system, plays a pivotal role in maintaining overall health. Beyond supporting the immune system, it serves as a transport network for lymph, a fluid rich in waste products and cellular debris, ensuring their safe removal from the body. This intricate network of vessels and lymph nodes acts as a surveillance system, constantly patrolling for pathogens and abnormal cells, thus contributing significantly to the body's defense against infections and diseases.
ORGANS AND TISSUES
Other organs and tissues can include the kidneys. Kidneys keep the colon hydrated and also work to push waste out of the body. They also replenish amino acids, vitamins, hormones, glucose, and other important nutrients back into the bloodstream.
CELLS
At the top of the chart are the cells, which can be nourished with proper mitochondrial support. This type of support charges cells to maximize energy production, cell signaling, and pure water production. When the mitochondria is being supported, clients will feel more balanced and sustained energy.
The harmonious functioning of various systems, organs, tissues, and cells is imperative for efficient elimination processes. Any obstruction in one section of the elimination pathway can lead to a cascade effect, resulting in congestion. Understanding this interconnectedness is fundamental and forms a significant aspect of consultations at the Vagus Clinic.
