Meet our featured beauty with brains Csilla Love, a health coach based in Sydney, Australia. She is passionate about helping people live a healthier lifestyle inside and out. Here is an interview with her where she answers some questions about health and the importance of nutritional cleansing.
1. What is the definition of health and how does our environment play a role on our health?
Simply defined, health is the absence of disease. It is a combination of balance and freedom. Balance within your body so that you have the freedom to do what you want to do. The ways in which we can have good health is to eat whole foods, move our bodies, drink water, consciously breathe at least 100 breaths a day, sleep between 7-8 hours every night and eliminate toxins from our organs. Good health builds internal resistance so that the external stresses of life don’t seem like such a big deal to the body and mind. It doesn’t matter how we shake it, our environment is filled with toxins. Pollution, processed foods, skincare, cosmetics, the sun, lifestyle choices such as smoking and drinking, stress and a lack of sleep all contribute to disease. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves IF all our internal organs are working together harmoniously. But what happens to our bodies when there are just too many toxins to heal? Some signs of toxicity to look out for include: low energy & fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, depression, abdominal bleeding, excess weight, skin problems, high cholesterol, Alzheimer’s, asthma, cancer and auto-immune disorders. Gut health is critical! An astounding 80% of people have gut imbalances. It’s not surprising that more and more research is linking gut health to mental health. 90% of serotonin and 50% of dopamine is created in the gut. Low serotonin levels are linked to depression and anxiety.
2. How do we eliminate toxicity?
Firstly, let’s talk about our elimination organs. We have 5 organs that aid in eliminating toxins from our bodies – kidneys, lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract and skin (your skin is your largest elimination organ so it is crucial to be using skincare that is without toxins and harsh chemicals. It takes 26 seconds for products to be absorbed into your bloodstream). Consider your body to be like a bathtub where the drains are your elimination organs. When you clog up the drains with “life” (toxins/products) that don’t support your health, the drain is blocked and the bathtub overflows. What do you think you need to do to unclog your bathtub? Yep, you got it – pull the plug and clean it out. So how can you do that to your body? You need to do a nutritional cleansing detox. The more you load up your body and don’t regularly detox it the more stress you put on it. If your elimination organs are working effectively together then your body can naturally detox. That’s what it’s designed to do! Excess toxins, however, can put your body out of balance.
3. What is a nutritional rebalancing detox?
It is important to outline how fat is created in the body. Fat is a protective mechanism that the body creates to protect itself from toxins and impurities. Excess toxins = unwanted weight. It is also important to note that a nutritional rebalancing program is NOT a diet. Diet’s only work in the short term. Often calorie cutting and/or excessive exercising is used which results in fat loss BUT also results in an increase of the body’s toxic density. The body goes into toxic overload and triggers the need to create more fat, therefore, weight is regained. A cellular cleansing program removes the toxins from the body, creates lean muscle and melts away excess fat. Nutritional balance keeps the body naturally lean by reprograming your organs to work effectively together while cleansing manages the toxins in your system. Depending on how many toxins are present will determine how long it’ll take to cleanse the body. A nutritional rebalancing detox is a long term solution and not a rapid weight loss program. Many people that have done our 30 days to healthy living program have achieved their weight loss goals. Whilst weight loss is possible it’s not the only focus of the program. Our main focus is to help people create a healthy lifestyle and develop a better understanding of healthy eating so that they have more energy, create a platform for excellent health and ultimately feel happier in who they are. At the core of our program is whole food clean eating. Whilst this concept is not new, what is incredibly powerful is that we have products and resources you need to ensure your success. Food is thy medicine, and we show you how to eat right, so you are the best version of you.
4. How does a 30 days to healthy living detox work? What do I need to do?
The basis of the program is to eliminate acidic, allergenic, inflammatory triggering and addictive foods such as dairy, gluten, soy, refined sugar, alcohol and coffee. It focuses on: increasing our nutrient intake by eating clean whole foods; good gut health so that we can absorb our food effectively (the old saying “You are what you eat” needs to be replaced with “You are what you absorb!”); balancing blood sugar levels to boost the metabolism and balance PH levels; exercise, sleep and mindfulness. The use of Arbonne products is critical as these products provide the extra nutrients that we cannot get enough of through our diet alone. This in turn aids in the functioning of the body’s systems. Most of us are too busy to make 3-4 perfect meals each day. The products are “easy buttons” or “fast foods” to make sure we’re getting the proper nutrients in the proper proportions at each meal. These products are what make the program do-able for most of us and give us the greatest chance of success reaching our goals. Arbonne’s products follow the philosophy of our Healthy Living and Beyond Program. They provide you with a holistic approach for internal and external health. The products are pure, safe and beneficial and are botanically based, certified vegan and formulated without gluten, dairy, soy, artificial sugars and flavours.
Some people will sit and think, whilst others will jump in and take action to get their health back on track immediately. If you are the person that wants to improve their health, then contact me and I can help you. Saying YES to the program will get you started on the path to feeling your healthy, happy, true self again.
