Detoxification for Optimal Health
Alison Birks MS (AHG) CNS
Tuesday, September 24th, 6:00pm
Join our Nutritionist Alison Birks to learn about her Two Week and Four Week life changing detoxification / Cleanse Program that supports a simple, safe and effective path to improved health and vitality. We live in an ever-increasing toxic environment. This fact is difficult to deny. Many of the toxins abundant in the environment today did not exist 30 years ago, including certain pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals that can enter our bodies through the food, water and air supplies. These toxins can become trapped in our body’s organs and tissues, which over time can negatively impact health, reduce vitality and eventually may contribute to the development of chronic diseases. A detoxification program should be easy to follow, effective and most importantly, safe to use. By supporting the body’s natural two-phase detoxification process, toxins can safely and effectively be removed from the body. FREE. Registration Required.
