“When I work with clients, I want to look at their lipid peroxide levels.

“Lipid peroxides tell us how your body is handling oxidative stress. This is really important because we’re all exposed to free radicals on a constant basis.

“We are exposed to toxins one hundred times more than we were a hundred years ago. There are thousands of toxins now in existence that weren’t in existence a hundred years ago.

“So it’s very important to look at and monitor what you’re exposed to, what’s in your body, and how to remove it from your body.”

“Generally, I believe that detoxification is a very important part of any weight loss program. They basically go hand in hand – they’re best friends. You really can’t address one without the other.

“When we look at a person who is overweight or who doesn’t have their optimal body composition, we really have to look at why. They’ve gotten off balance for some reason.

“One of the top areas for weight loss resistance is toxicity. We really want to look at -- is this person detoxifying well? How can we support their ability to move the toxins out of the fat stores, out of the tissues. Once we do that, weight loss becomes a lot easier.”

“First, I would recommend incorporating lots of good, clean water.

"Water is very important, and clean water – good quality water – is most important. I would recommend looking for a good source, such as spring water – a natural artesian source is always best. And look for a glass bottle.

Plastics often release xenoestrogens, which as we know can cause a lot of imbalances on the endocrine system, for both males and females. So look for good, clean water, such as Voss, in a glass bottle. And drink lots of it every day.
