Understanding the liver’s role


As we dive into the new year, recognizing the liver’s superhero role as our body's ultimate filter is key to a healthy jumpstart in 2024. In our fast-paced lives, we encounter a barrage of man-made chemicals and toxins that burden our system. Picture the liver as your personal bodyguard working meticulously to process toxins from your body and blood. It plays a pivotal role in keeping our bodies healthy and thriving for the long haul. By embracing a short 7-Day Functional Medicine Liver Detox, we can boost this internal bodyguard in its efforts to protect us from today’s pervasive environmental toxins.


Confronting toxins in daily life


Our lives are a swirl of chemicals, from environmental pollutants to sneaky additives hiding in processed foods and mainstream cosmetics. Dodging all these toxins is simply impossible. Instead of fearing these toxins, we can support our bodies to face them head-on with a healthy liver. A Functional Medicine Liver Detox enables us not just to exist amidst these toxins, but to thrive among them while doing our best to avoid the ones that are within our control.


Research-backed benefits


Studies sing praises about the endless perks of a focused liver detox. Unlike fad diets and cleanses, a Functional Medicine Liver Detox delves deep into detoxification’s nitty-gritty. It guides you through both phase one and phase two of detoxification. Phase one is focused on breaking down toxins, while phase two expedites their exit from our body. This comprehensive approach is known to lead to reduced inflammation, better skin health, more balanced hormones, better sleep, healthy weight loss, and more vibrant energy to name a few.


Empowering your health


In a world where health meets lifestyle, investing in your well-being through a Functional Medicine Detox is a game-changer. It’s a chance to armor yourself against environmental toxins and embark on a voyage to a healthier, more balanced life. Balanced Friends is excited to invite you to our virtual 7-Day Liver Detox Bootcamp launching in January 2024. Our program is crafted for both short-term rejuvenation and long-term wellness. As dedicated stay-at-home moms, we get the value of simplicity in wellness. Our program offers easy recipes, clever tips, and tricks for making this journey a breeze! We are all about balance – not sacrificing joys for health but embracing both, guiding you towards a healthier more vibrant you.

Sam and Alyssa, Integrative Health Practitioners and co-owners of Balanced Friends, met in dental hygiene school in 2010. Frustrated by the flaws in the American healthcare system, they transitioned to holistic health, drawing from their shared upbringing in low-income households. The creation of the Balanced Friends Instagram page in 2017 unexpectedly propelled them to become Certified Integrative Health Practitioners. Today, their virtual practice offers functional medicine detox programs for mold, metals, parasites, liver, and gut health. Perfectly designed to disrupt the broken healthcare system and to guide clients toward a more vibrant and balanced life.
