As Halloween fades into the distance and the holiday season approaches, our exposure to toxins is on the rise. Whether lurking in the food we consume or present in the air we breathe, toxins seem to be omnipresent.

Through our process of testing, we always find our patients grappling with off-the-charts toxic exposure. Lead, mercury, mold, glyphosate, gasoline, Diethylphthalates (commonly found in health and beauty products), PUFA’s (abundant in plastics), Acrylamide, herbicides—the list goes on. The human body, much like the planet itself, is buckling under the weight of a century’s worth of toxic onslaught.

Toxins, these insidious substances, wreak havoc on our bodies, disrupting normal cellular functions. They seep in from all angles—environmental pollutants, processed foods, pesticides, household products, and even stress.

Accumulating in our bodies, toxins become the architects of inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage. The consequences? Increased risks of cancer and various diseases that threaten our well-being.

Enter detoxification, the body’s innate process of purging these harmful intruders. The liver, our natural detox maestro, works tirelessly, aided by the mechanisms of urination, defecation, and perspiration. Yet, with our modern lives bombarding us with toxins, our bodies sometimes struggle to keep up or face breakdowns. Stubborn toxins add to the challenge, often resisting eviction.

Here’s where binders, specifically CellCore Binders, step into the spotlight. Crafted with precision, these binders are designed to zero in on toxins at the cellular level, ushering them out safely. From heavy metals to environmental pollutants, CellCore binders are tailored to combat a spectrum of toxins, orchestrating a comprehensive detoxification experience.

Gentle and effective, these binders avoid the discomfort associated with more aggressive detox methods. They navigate the body’s pathways, releasing toxins without unnecessary stress or pain. Supporting gut health, they work to expel harmful substances, fostering improved digestion and overall well-being. Simultaneously, they lighten the load on the immune system, allowing it to focus on fending off pathogens and maintaining balance.

Embarking on a detoxification journey with CellCore binders is a part of healing your terrain. By honing in on toxins at the cellular level, these binders offer a gentle yet powerful approach to detoxification. 

As always, consulting healthcare professionals before initiating any detox program ensures alignment with individual health needs and goals.

See You There!

Join Dr. Nasha, and hundreds of other healthcare professionals, in London on Sept. 23 for “Metabolic Flexibility: Integrative Oncology in Action.” And, if you use the code NASHA15 you can receive a 15% discount off of your registration!

Cancer shows a high degree of metabolic flexibility, reacting to cues and stresses in their microenvironment. In simplistic terms, cancer cells have an innate ability to switch between utilizing sugar or fat as a fuel source – enabling them to be metabolically flexible.

During the conference, you will learn the latest research and knowledge about potential strategies you can use in your practice, understanding metabolic dependencies as a therapeutic approach to cancer care.

The event will take place in person on Sept. 23, at 09:30 a.m. BST, at Cavendish Conference Centre in London, but it will also be live-streamed, and you can use the code NASHA15 to receive a 15% discount off of tickets for in person or virtual attendance.

Metabolic Health Day – ever heard of it? No? That’s probably because, in a world filled with celebratory days like “donut day”, “margarita day”, and even “love your pizza day”, the most crucial one was missing. While we bask in the glory of these delightful days, if we neglect our metabolic health, the joys of all other celebrations may be short-lived.

After attending over 30 conferences in 2023, a clear pattern began to emerge. From diabetes and obesity to cardiovascular disease, mental illness, and even Alzheimer’s, there’s a common thread linking them: metabolic health. It’s astonishing how many of these diseases, including autism and cancer, are in fact,  metabolic in nature. However, many are unaware of this link.

A Day to Empower and Inform

So, why set aside a day specifically for metabolic health awareness?

The answer is straightforward: such a day didn’t exist! At the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health (MTIH), we recognized this gap. Instead of waiting for someone else to fill it, our team decided to initiate the charge. Collaborating with our partners globally, we’re now on a mission to bring metabolic health to the forefront of public consciousness.

In developed countries like the United States, less than 7% of people are considered metabolically healthy. And while conventional medical standards give us a basic understanding of metabolic health through factors like waist-hip ratio, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, the actual definition goes much deeper.

Redefining Metabolic Health

Metabolic health isn’t just about having blood sugar levels under 100 or triglycerides under 150. At MTIH, we set the bar higher, advocating for markers under 85 for fasting blood sugar, and triglyceride levels under 90–these are the values required to PREVENT metabolic disease, not just to walk a tightrope to a diagnosis.

But metabolic health isn’t only about numbers. It’s about how our bodies interact with the world around us – how we absorb and transmit information through light, sound, food, water, breath, and even the energies of those we come in contact with. Everything we consume or surround ourselves with can influence our metabolic health.

The essence of our metabolic function lies deep within our cells, in an organelle called the mitochondria. It’s a powerhouse that senses, transforms, and transmits energy and signaling pathways that are essential for our daily functioning.

Over time, poor nutrition, modern day lifestyle, toxins, genetic factors, and more can overwhelm our mitochondria, leading to various metabolic imbalances.

A Critical Shift – Turning Awareness Into Action

It’s time for a transformative change. Instead of solely treating the symptoms, we must dive deeper to understand the root causes of metabolic imbalances. By grasping the “why,” we are empowered to navigate the “how.” Addressing these foundational causes is pivotal in championing our metabolic health.

To assist in this critical shift from awareness to action, stay tuned to metabolichealthday.life and the MTIH social media channels. With support from our global community of sponsors and partners, we will provide invaluable tips to guide and support your journey towards robust metabolic health.

On Metabolic Health Day, and every day thereafter, let’s prioritize understanding our bodies better and ensuring our metabolic health is in top shape. Because in doing so, we ensure the health and happiness of not just ourselves but also generations to come.

This groundbreaking event, steered by Dr. Nasha Winters and the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health (MTIH), aims to unite metabolic health leaders globally and catalyze a seismic shift toward a healthier future.

A concerning statistic from a 2022 study underscores the urgency of the cause – just 6.8% of American adults are in optimal metabolic health. The consequences of this deficiency span a gamut of conditions, from diabetes and heart disease to Alzheimer’s and autism spectrum disorder. International Metabolic Health Day seeks to galvanize global support, encouraging individuals, communities, and organizations to rally behind innovative research, champion preventive healthcare strategies, and promote awareness of metabolic health’s paramount importance.
