When the digestive system is unwell or under any type of stress, it is no longer a source of nourishment, but rather, a major source of toxicity and thus impacts the entire body to the point that it no longer functions well. This includes internal organs, key systems, and cells; and it will definitely manifest into physical and emotional symptoms of distress and discomfort. At this point, individuals need to immediately peel back. “Peeling back the onion” is often used in health, and life, as a metaphor for what takes place during the process of healing. When understood in this manner, individuals can take the necessary steps and devote time and resources to peel back the layers. Think of the layers as your physical and emotional symptoms. Once the layers are peeled back, healing is initiated. In this situation, less is more and for effective and sustainable healing to take place, it is necessary to peel away the outer layers and master the fundamental basics which are, and always will be:

• A life less toxic 

• Activating detoxification pathways 

• Engaging in movement and mindfulness

• Consuming nourishing, and organic foods
