It's time for Spring Cleaning!!
People often ask me about detoxifying and cleansing and they often pose the question mid-winter when
they might be feeling a bit sluggish and have lower energy. But mid-winter is not the right time.
According to Chinese medicine, the liver is associated with spring, a time for clearing out the old and
making room for the new. From a metabolic point of view, the liver is the most important cleansing organ in
the body, so there is an underlying biological reason that has us thinking about cleaning each spring.
We always seem to get that urge to 'spring clean' - whether it's the garage, basement, closets, or the
cluttered yards, there seems to be some biological impulse pushing us to give everything a good cleaning
once winter has said its goodbye.
But what about your body? Spring is a time for it to be cleaned out too!

Day after day our bodies are asked to process a variety of potentially harmful substances: pollutants in
the air, additives or hormones in our food, carcinogens, heavy metals, drugs, chemicals, and various other toxins.
Just like your car, your body needs an 'oil change' every once in a while. A spring cleanse is precisely the oil
change that your body needs.
Benefits of a cleansing program include:
Shed excess weight (especially abdominal weight)
Boost your energy
Feel lighter and cleaner
Decrease your craving for unhealthy foods
Experience deeper sleep and clearer skin
Enhance mental performance and concentration
Improve your digestion (less gas and bloating)
At Kilborn Naturopathic & Wellness Centre we are offering a 7-10 day cleansing program. This program will be
tailored to your lifestyle, health goals, and cooking level using diet, at home cleansing techniques and herbal
remedies. (For those requiring extra assistance, supplements may be suggested.)
To find out the details of this great plan, contact us.
** For the month of May, mention that you saw this on the website when booking your appointment
and receive 20% off any supplements that may be required for your cleanse.
News
New advanced clinical testing available! With one simple blood test we can now analyze your
nutritional status. Results obtained can uncover deficiencies that standard tests may miss.
Even if you eat a balanced diet, exercise and take a multi-vitamin you may still have a deficiency.

Biochemical Individuality
Because each of us is metabolically and biochemically unique, the micronutrient requirements for one
person may be quite different that the requirements of another.
Absorption
You may not be absorbing the vitamins, minerals, antioxidnts and/or other essential micronutrients
properly, as a result you will have deficiencies.
Chronic Illness
Health conditions such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fatigue and multiple
sclerosis, to name a few, can be affected, directly or indirectly by micronutrient deficiencies.
Aging
Our micronutrient requirements at age 30 are quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50 and beyond.
Absorption difficulties, especially of vitamin B12,quite commonly occur as we age.
Lifestyle
Excessive physical activity, prescription drugs, smooking, alcohol and even sedentary habits all impact
on micronutrient demands.
There is overwhelming evidence confirming that vitamin deficiencies are associated with disease processes
and the overall condition of your health. Call today and we can identify your baseline nutritional status
and help you to reach your greatest health potential.
New at the clinic right now is an 8 week smoking cessation program. You may have tried quitting before
only to be overcome by the many challenges. This program is geared to help you cope with those challenges.
It will assist in eliminating cravings, healing your lungs, improving breathing, calming your nervous system
