I’ve learned so much through working with team members and customers who start a gut health focused DETOX PLAN or nutritional supplements, and depending on the condition of their gut health and other factors, they could have Herxheimer symptoms.
It’s not a bad thing... in fact, the biggest mistake people make when they first have these symptoms is to stop the healing process!
If you’re wondering WHY you may feel sick or awful when you start a nutritional regimen or your healing journey, here’s why:
I have been following the advice of Dr. Jess (@dr.jess.md) and she says…
“When you begin true healing, it ain’t fun.
The body begins to “see” something that it missed before, it literally sends out an SOS signal to rally an army of white blood cells, or troops.
It is your body that makes you feel like SH*T when it creates a fever to burn out thermosensitive pathogens or diarrhea to run out unwanted gut bugs.
It is appropriately reacting to toxins that it previously overlooked once we rev up the immunity & bring the body back in line.
That’s intelligent!
Painfully temporary, but also intelligent.”
Bottom line: Heal your GUT!
I hope you find this helpful!
