Feeling Worse Before Feeling Better? What you might be experiencing is Herxheimer Reaction otherwise known as the healing crisis. Herxheimer reaction refers to a reaction to endotoxin like products that are released into the bloodstream caused by the death of harmful microorganisms. This happens when the body can no longer catch up with its detox process that occurs daily. This causes a build-up of toxins that get stored in the body and leads to symptoms such as headaches..., nausea, brain fog, depression, and congestion. Have you ever tried to curb a caffeine addiction, only to have major irritability and a migraine? Or cut a finger only to have it scab up, itch, and become swollen? This is the Herxheimer Reaction in action, the nature of self-healing. Healing is a lifelong journey with many ups and downs and in this journey feeling worse only means you’re going to feel better.

It is needed for your hormone balance. It is efficient in metabolism, and it help you absorb minerals and fat-soluble vitamins. Why fibre? ... Fibre helps you feel satisfied (and stay that way longer). It feeds the good microbes in your gut, enhancing the microbiome and removes toxins from the GI tract. Why greens? Greens contain magnesium. Of the 300+ jobs that magnesium does in your body, it is key to your hormone balance. It also helps your body release energy from food which gets depleted under stress. See more
