The Detox Box: A Program for Greater Health and Vitality (Sounds True 2004)
By Mark Hyman, M.D.
In a world of processed foods, industrial effluvia, and psychic overload, our systems need detoxifying more than ever. But cleaning up your life in a toxic world is a difficult task and setting up a detox plan of your own can be overwhelming. The Detox Box: A Program for Greater Health and Vitality is an affordable, manageable way to start fresh in body, mind and spirit.
Pioneering physician Mark Hyman, M.D., author of Ultraprevention (Scribner 2003), is the Co-medical Director at the renowned Canyon Ranch and Editor in Chief of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. Dr. Hyman has created a safe, gentle cleansing program in five stages:
- Get Rid of Toxins (temporarily cut out food allergens, alcohol, caffeine, self inflicted and environmental toxins)
- Fix Your Gut (repair digestion with healthful foods and supplements)
- Get Your Fluids Moving (boost circulation with yoga and aerobic exercise designed for detoxification)
- Love Your Liver and Sweat It Out (help your system shed toxins through hot baths, saunas and specially designed nutrients and herbs that support your liver detoxification)
- Detox Your Mind, Heart, and Spirit (break the cycle of stress and fatigue)
The program is designed to be a total experience of renewal. It includes a lecture by Dr. Hyman on the importance of detoxification, a specific healing, detoxifying diet, specially designed nutritional supplements and herbs, a yoga class taught by Dr. Hyman created to enhance detoxification, and advice for heat therapies as well as journaling and reflective exercises.
As a result of experiencing the program created in The Detox Box, you will be able to:
- Experience a deep sense of renewal and wellness through detoxification of mind, body and spirit
- Learn how to identify symptoms and mood states trigged by toxicity
- Integrate the experience of detoxification into your daily life with specific tools, treatments and yoga sequences learned through the experience
