In today's world, where our surroundings are increasingly filled with environmental pollutants and impurities, supporting our body's detoxification systems is essential for maintaining optimal health.
Detoxification is crucial for longevity and disease prevention. Dr. Mark Hyman, a renowned physician and an internationally recognised leader, speaker and educator, recently highlighted how our liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, digestive, and lymphatic systems work together to filter and remove toxins. However, in today’s world, our bodies are often exposed to more toxins than these systems can handle.
When our detox systems are overburdened, toxins build up, leading to oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammation, and disrupted gut function—all primary drivers of accelerated aging and chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and dementia.
AirPod mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) can enhance detoxification by helping our bodies cope with the daily influx of pollutants, removing toxins through our skin and body pathways. This wellness modality not only supports the body’s natural detoxification process, but also enhances our overall wellness through a range of benefits in an effective and effortless way.
The AirPod enhances detoxification in the following ways:
- Increased Oxygen Supply: The AirPod mHBOT increases the vital oxygen supply to cells and tissues by up to 50% and is regarded as a safe, effective, and non-invasive wellness therapy. Increased oxygen levels improve the efficiency of detoxification pathways, particularly in the liver and kidneys, which are pivotal in processing and eliminating toxins.
- Angiogenesis and Waste Removal: Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels from existing ones, essential for tissue health, nutrient exchange, and adapting to changes in metabolic activity throughout life. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can stimulate angiogenesis, enhancing circulation and allowing for more efficient removal of waste products. Like HBOT, mHBOT also stimulates angiogenesis, helping to reduce toxic burden on the body.
- Oxygenation of Tissues: Improved oxygenation supports cellular health, enabling cells to better manage oxidative stress and damage from toxins. This process is crucial in preventing the build-up of harmful substances in the body.
Tips for optimising your detoxification routine
For optimal and effortless wellness while supporting your body’s detoxification process, consider the following routine, which utilises other wellness methods such as infrared saunas and simple lifestyle changes. The recommendations below aim to improve oxygen supply, promote circulation, and enhance the body's natural waste removal processes.
AirPod mHBOT Sessions:
Start with regular 60-minute sessions, 2-3 times a week. We recommend following up your AirPod session with an infrared sauna.
Sunlighten Infrared Sauna:
Spend 30-40 minutes post-AirPod session to further support detoxification through sweating and infrared light therapy. AirPod’s sister wellness therapy, Sunlighten infrared saunas, produces highly efficient, patented SoloCarbon® infrared heating technology that offers the best detoxification experience, as it is clinically proven to raise core body temperature by 1.8 degrees Celsius.
Sunlighten Infrared Saunas can amplify the detoxification process initiated in the AirPod by:
- Sweat-Induced Detoxification: Infrared heat penetrates deep into the skin, detoxifying at a cellular level and stimulating a sweat response, which is a primary method of toxin elimination.
- Improved Circulation: Similar to mHBOT, infrared saunas enhance circulation, supporting the body's detox pathways.
- Stress Reduction: Regular use of infrared saunas helps lower stress levels and cortisol, which can otherwise impair detoxification processes.
Hydration:
Drink plenty of water with electrolytes before and after your sessions to aid toxin removal and maintain hydration. We recommend adding a pinch of Celtic sea salt or a squeeze of lemon in your water bottle to help replace lost electrolytes during the detox process.
Dietary Support:
ncorporate antioxidant-rich foods and supplements, such as glutathione, to support liver function.
We also love the Gut Co’s CLEANSE supplement, a naturopathically formulated powerful and unique greens powder that helps detoxify the liver and kidneys, containing bitter liver herbs such as St Mary’s thistle and Globe artichoke.
Small changes at the grocery store:
Whenever possible, buy organic produce and cleaning products to limit your toxin exposure. Washing your fruit and vegetables with a bicarbonate soda rinse can help remove unwanted chemicals.
By prioritising detoxification, we assist our bodies in improving cognitive function, circulation, recovery, sleep quality, skincare, and immune resilience. Each of these functions is crucial for longevity and disease prevention. By enhancing our body’s natural detoxification processes, we efficiently eliminate toxins, helping you to thrive in today’s demanding world.
