For less than $5 per day, I replaced hours of food prep and several supplements with nutrition that worked much better for my body.\n\nI started Arbonne in January 2020 and have only gone a few weeks without their protein powder since. I slowly use and replace some of the other components from the 30-day kit, but for the most part I just use the protein powder as a nutritional boost.\n\nArbonne is a MLM(Multi Level Marketing) company, which gives me an incentive to share their products with you. But that is not why I share their products. I don&#8217;t share any of this information in an attempt to generate funds, but it helps pay for my webservers as well as support the time I put into all of this. If Arbonne&#8217;s clean ingredients and the success I have experienced with their products sounds intriguing to you, feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or in the Iodine for Beginners group and I will help you find the best products for you to get started.\n\nClick the image above to browse the 30-day kit I started with, but please reach out before getting started.

Most people find these nutrients that work and become scared as their body and digestion change into situations that are commonly seen as a negative. But an odd aspect to healing is that sometimes healing reactions look like the opposite. We just have to pay attention to how we feel.<\/p><p>Once things level off and I am not able to find any nutrients to cause me to move forward with detox, I add some iodine or increase my dose in an attempt to knock something loose. But if this makes me feel poorly or just not right, I do not add more iodine. There is a common misconception out there that we constantly need to add more iodine in order to move forward.\u00a0<\/p><p>This is similar to pruning a tree or plant.

If our digestion and metabolism are working well enough, we can handle a certain amount of toxic cell pruning. But this process takes time and our body is going to attempt rebuilding cells where we&#8217;ve been pruning.<\/p><p>We really need to appreciate what our cells are doing here. First they disassemble themselves to a degree and drop their components and toxins into our bloodstream. Now other cells in our liver &amp; kidneys etc attempt grabbing these toxins and reducing them into something that can safely be excreted via sweat, breath, pee or poo.<\/p><p>As awesome as this whole process is, it takes time and we need to keep the system in balance. These processes require a lot of energy, and can easily burn up our nutritional reserves. If we have major clogs of sorts like mega high histamines or oxalates, or several dirty genes, this process can be very touchy. Sometimes these roadblocks require very specific focus, but restarting at the top of this page and repeating the process should allow us to move forward as long as we can get this type of nutrition without reactions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16d0347 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"16d0347\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e0dc45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7e0dc45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Continue Reading<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b285436 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b285436\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Throughout what I&#8217;ve mentioned above and in other pages of this site are links to other websites or various types of content I&#8217;ve created.
