Happy New Year, I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. It can be incredibly stressful during Christmas and the holidays so I hope you got through it okay. The New Year is a time for change and a lot of us want to change with some sort of detox, whether that’s cutting out alcohol or carbs or whatever it might be. So today on the show we’re going to be looking at detoxing and some of the wonderful and gentle things that you can do for your health to get you started.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

For those of us that are living in the northern hemisphere, this is actually a time of year that we're meant to hibernate. We're meant to hunker down and huddle up in front of our warm fires with our bone broth and our veggie broths and, and just reserve our energy to build towards the start of that massive detox in the spring.
Give yourself permission to start your journey. Give yourself permission to continue your journey. Give yourself permission to be fit, healthy, and happy. 
Think of the body like a funnel and if your bowels are blocked, everything's backing up there. So you've got to get everything flowing and moving again. You have to listen to your body, listen to your gut, listen to your heart, and they will tell you.
You're the only person that has shown up every single second of every single day, and that's you.  Your job is to look after yourself. So self care is healthcare. It's not selfish. It's something you have to do because if you don't, you can't look after other people.
Everything we think actually affects our lives, your thoughts dictate your actions.

BEST MOMENTS
‘If you're doing a heavy detox, I would absolutely recommend that you do it under supervision’
‘Do you realise you are the only person that has showed up for yourself every single second of every single day?’
‘The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry and it funds its own science and it marks its own homework’
