The wellness industry often focuses on gut health, detoxifying, and reducing exposure to environmental toxins. This has led to a variety of detox protocols being discussed.

But here’s the thing: detoxing is fantastic, but if you don’t prepare your body to safely eliminate toxins, you might end up doing more harm than good. That’s where binders come in—they can truly enhance and support your detox process. We suggest adding them to your routine before or along with any detox plans to help your body safely eliminate toxins.

What Are Binders?

Imagine binders as flypaper for your gut—they grab onto those annoying irritants so you can easily get rid of them. These binders can come from food or supplements, helping to detoxify your body effectively.

Food Sources & Herbs to Help Bind Toxins

Certain foods and herbs have long been known to help bind toxins and support overall health. Research has shown that insoluble fiber has the ability to bind mycotoxins (toxins produced by molds/fungi) in the gut. It can be found in food such as:

• Whole grains
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radishes, kale, collard greens and Brussel sprouts)
• Fruit skins

In addition, herbs are also great remedies. Detox teas often include these:

• Elecampane (root): Supports lungs and liver
• Dandelion (leaves and root): Stimulates and supports digestion and liver function
• Milk Thistle: Increases bile production, which stimulates and protects the liver
• Ginger: Stimulates blood circulation and aids digestion
• Nettle: Known as the “Mother of Spring Tonics”, traditionally used for skin and joint health. Nettle is particularly useful when your body feels sluggish, especially after a busy Big Sky winter season and as you transition into spring!

Popular Binder Supplements

Activated charcoal is a commonly used binder and is readily found in most pharmacies. At Reset Big Sky, your Big Sky recovery spa, we carry a selection of Cellcore products that we find particularly beneficial:

• The “BioToxin Binder” is designed to support the gut microbiome and enhance the body’s natural detoxification processes.
• Another favorite is the ViRadChem Binder, which aids in cellular repair and supports the body in detoxifying environmental and microbial toxins.

Take Care of Your Detox Pathway!

Cellcore provides a helpful graphic illustrating how your body eliminates toxins.

It's crucial to ensure your body is effectively eliminating waste (via bowel movements) before embarking on a detox program. If you're constipated, diving into a rigorous detox regimen isn't recommended as it may leave you feeling unwell, and toxins could potentially reabsorb into your system.

To prepare, consider CellCore's Bowel Mover, which we carry at Reset Big Sky.
