Your nutrients are absorbed into your body thru the villi, tiny hairlike tentacles in the intestinal tracts. If you eat food your body is sensitive to such as gluten, soy, sugar or dairy or too much of other foods such as fructose the villi can flatten and cause malnutrition and an entire host of health problems. Gluten, dairy and soy intolerance and eating to much fructose during one meal can be the cause of malabsorption of nutrients, which can lead to malnutrition and feelings of being hungry more often than you should, weak bones and muscles and a weakened immune system.
Imagine feeling content after each meal, energized and clear minded, this is what happens when you eat right for you!

Your Liver is your body's filter system, imagine if you didn't clean and change the filter in your car? It would break down. The same holds true for your liver, it should be cleansed through diet and other supportive herbs and superfoods, which can safely Detoxify the digestive organs and move undigested food deposits that get stuck in the intestinal tracks out of your system. Because every person is different an individualized plan under experienced guidance is
offered to our clients. With more than 30 years of experience in Nutritional Research and Education our Wellness Yoga Detox Retreats and Private Counseling has helped thousands of people get on the right track and stay on it.

Your colon has a neurological arch to every other organ in your body including your brain. When the colon gets backed up with undigested foods that turn to yeast in the gut it will cause inflammation including a condition called Candida Ablicans, this condition can and will effect your brain, memory, thinking and decision making processes as well as bloating and joint pain.


The liver and the pancreas are important organs in digestion and processing of the foods we eat. The liver produces bile, which helps in the digestion of fats. The pancreas secretes various enzymes, including amylase and lipase that help in the digestion of sugars, fats and proteins. An elevation of certain liver and pancreatic enzymes in the bloodstream usually signals damage to these organs. Gallbladder stones can cause an elevation of pancreatic enzymes. There are foods and herbs that can help reduce these stones and cleanses that will help you pass stones without surgery.
