8 Day Group Liver Reset- Early Bird Signup

Nevada City Chamber Our livers do so much for us, yet, they never get the respect due back. Liver cleansing is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being as the liver plays a central role in detoxification and metabolic processes within the body. In TCM philosophy, the liver is believed to be associated with the emotion of anger. Over time, the liver can become burdened with emotions, toxins from our environment, processed foods, medications, and alcohol consumption. A liver cleanse can help support the liver's natural detoxification functions, allowing it to efficiently process and eliminate toxins, promoting better digestion, emotional regulation, improved energy levels, clearer skin, and enhanced immune function. Additionally, a healthy liver contributes to better nutrient absorption and can aid in weight management efforts. Regular liver cleansing can be a valuable component of a holistic approach to health and longevity. Join us as I guide you through an 8-day protocol featuring local, fresh groceries—plus an… Type of Event: Health / Wellbeing. Event location: Grass Valley. Other location: Living Waters.

8 Day Group Liver Reset- Early Bird Signup

Nevada City Chamber Our livers do so much for us, yet, they never get the respect due back. Liver cleansing is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being as the liver plays a central role in detoxification and metabolic processes within the body. In TCM philosophy, the liver is believed to be associated with the emotion of anger. Over time, the liver can become burdened with emotions, toxins from our environment, processed foods, medications, and alcohol consumption. A liver cleanse can help support the liver's natural detoxification functions, allowing it to efficiently process and eliminate toxins, promoting better digestion, emotional regulation, improved energy levels, clearer skin, and enhanced immune function. Additionally, a healthy liver contributes to better nutrient absorption and can aid in weight management efforts. Regular liver cleansing can be a valuable component of a holistic approach to health and longevity. Join us as I guide you through an 8-day protocol featuring local, fresh groceries—plus an… Type of Event: Health / Wellbeing. Event location: Grass Valley. Other location: Living Waters.
