Despite a world full of conflicting and confusing dietary advice, the matter of what to eat is really very simple. God gave us plant foods and He gave us animal foods. The food He gave us is the food we are meant to eat. The Creator of our bodies made the perfect food for our bodies and He tells us exactly what that is. God is our Master Nutritionist and His Word is our dietary compass.

Quarterly Detoxes

At the beginning of each new season in The Christian Health Club, we practice a 3-day detox that removes all meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts/seeds, grains, sugar and alcohol.

Drainage Before Detox

You’re probably familiar with the concept of Detoxification but are you familiar with the concept of Drainage? Detox is what’s going on in the body to grab and process the toxins and drainage is what takes them out of the body.

Drainage MUST come before any detoxification protocol. Read on to learn more about the drainage pathways, how to optimize their “flow,” what symptoms may indicate yours are “clogged” and the current protocol I am using with clients to get the drainage pathways open.
