About the Host:

Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner and a Board Designated Trainer of NLP, Time Line Therapy®, Hypnotherarpy, and NLP Results Coaching, helping people get to the root cause of their health issues and then get lasting results. Melissa neither diagnoses nor cures but helps bring your body back into balance by helping discover your “toxic load” and then removing the toxins. Melissa offers functional medicine lab testing that helps you “see inside” to know exactly what is going on, and then provides a personalized wellness protocol using natural herbs and supplements.  Melissa’s business is 100% virtual – the lab tests are mailed directly to your home and she specializes in holding your hand and guiding the way to healing so that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Melissa has launched Amplify Impact Academy, with business partner, Billie Aadmi and together they train other coaches, practitioners and counsellors in the 4 mind-body healing modalities mentioned above, giving them powerful tools to use with clients to get results with greater ease, speed and grace. These courses teach life skills and anyone can take them, if you wanto be a better leader, parent, partner, be empowered in your own life, these courses are for you!

Melissa’s passion project is her non-profit, Girls Matter (www.girlsmatter.ca), breaking the poverty cycle 1 girl, 1 family, 1 village at a time.  The mission is to keep girls in school and stop teenage marriages, because school isn’t free in over 50 countries around the world and when parents have to make the difficult choices of feeding their kids or paying for school, food wins. And when the girls hit their teen years, they will often be married off so that someone else becomes responsible to feed them. Keeping girls in school instead creates a generational ripple effect, because an educated girl is more than twice as likely to ensure her on children are educated. Educating girls also grows the GDP of countries, when they get into the workforce. This is how together, we can change the world. Guests on this podcast are invited to donate to this important cause. Learn more here in this short video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R3-xqzJLZW14om1PhFClcU_oRSZ8zgip/view?usp=share_link

Welcome back to another episode of health hacks as I continue talking about 12 easy tips that you can implement this month on your health journey to optimize your health. And today, I want to talk to you about your liver and your detox pathways. Your liver literally works 24/7 to detox your body, and we need to give it a helping hand, because, unfortunately, we live in a very toxic world, and it needs a boost in order to be able to do its job properly. When it gets overwhelmed, just like when we get overwhelmed, we don't do anything well. And what happens then is it can't fully get the toxins out of your body, and it has to pick and choose between which of the 500 jobs that it has to do it's able to cope with. And sometimes what happens is, if it can't get the toxins out of your body, it will store them in your fat closets and keep them in your body, and yet still keep them out of your bloodstream, which is its main goal. It's very smart. However, do you really want those toxins in your body? I don't think so. So ways that you can give your liver a boost and support it are by staying hydrated, flushing your body with waters that drinks that hydrate, so water, herbal teas, your protein shakes and smoothies, alcohol is not helping your liver, and neither are sugary processed drinks, etc. You want to enjoy adding detoxifying foods to your meals, like cruciferous vegetables, beets, turmeric, cilantro, and you can also help your body detox. It has four main detox pathways, your skin, your bowels, your urine and your breath. So sweat it out with exercise, go to sauna sessions or have a detox bath. And then, as I said, alcohol doesn't help your liver, and neither does caffeine. So cut back, cut back on your consumption of those in order to give your liver a break. And you can also check out my self guided health kickstart and detox program, because that program is literally designed, if your liver was a overflowing trash can. It's literally designed to pick it up and dump it all out, like, let's get really get rid of all those toxins in your body and give yourself a reset. And it's incredibly powerful. People that have done it are always commenting on how they don't remember when they felt this good. Their aches and pains have gone away. Their brain fog has gone away. They're enjoying mental clarity. Their symptoms of hormone imbalance have gone away. Their sleep is improved. There are so many benefits to really giving our liver the detox that it needs and supporting it in its job, so that we can be thriving and living at our very best and at the when you help your liver do its job, you feel lighter, more energized, more vibrant, and you are loving life. So check that out. I'll drop the link in the show notes.
