I have been writing and teaching my personal training and fitness boot camp clients a lot about detoxification. Today I will explain a bit about one of the major factors in your body’s ability to detoxify. The condition of your liver.

The liver is very involved in detox. If it is impaired by bad stuff like alcohol or cancer, you will have serious problems clearing stuff out of your body.

The stuff that needs to be cleared out are things like… excess bad hormones, chemicals like exhaust fumes and pesticides, bacteria, and drugs. All bad things that impair brain function, cause cancer and slow your metabolism making weight loss and fat loss difficult.

All that stuff is stored in our cells and will start to come out when you do a detox program. This is true when you use our Infrared Sauna; In Singapore its probably the first IR sauna. And it’s certainly the only one where we don’t just dump you in the infra red sauna with a glass of water.

There is a science based set of nutrients that I provide all sauna users that will help them maximize the session and protect their cells. When you do a IR sauna, alot of toxin gets stirred up, some comes out through the sweat (check out the smelly grey/black towels) and some needs to be cleared out via the liver.

To support the liver we give a blend of anti oxidants, as well as amino acids that aid every pathway that the liver uses to get rid of bad stuff! This is why I recommend that people coming to use the sauna come a little earlier to give the “pre-sauna” supplements a chance to absorb. This will maximize the effectiveness of the sauna session. It’s all about getting the best health, and the best results for our personal training and weight loss clients.

BTW when you choose an infrared sauna, please don’t get the kind where you sit in a plastic bubble, on a plastic chair… heated plastic (or even plywood with its many kinds of glues) is BAD NEWS and you will be absorbing toxins even when you are trying to detox.

The sauna I choose for our Singapore gym is made of hardwood and only uses screws for construction, no glue. It does cost more but that is because it is made by “Heavenly Heat” who have been making saunas for more than 25 years and get the highest approval ratings from my functional medicine doctor friends.
