11/12/2019 0 Comments ARE YOU READY FOR A GUT CHECK?HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR GUT LATELY? If you’ve been feeling bloated, then you have that gut feeling you need to eliminate the toxins that are causing the icky feeling in your body. It’s not always easy picking which path to take to cleanse your body for the results needed. However, I’ve made it super easy with my Epic 24 Gut Check. I don’t believe in deprivation, so you will not feel deprived in any way. You’ll feel quite the opposite. The reality is, no matter how "clean" we eat, we live in a very toxic world. Before we even open our mouths to take a bite of food, we are exposed to vehicular and industrial pollution in the air and toxins in our cleaning products, and cosmetics. Not to mention the havoc wreaked on the body by stress. So, the question is not ‘am I toxic?’ but rather ‘how toxic am I?’ Are you ready to eliminate the "junk" that cause weight gain, brain fog, loss of sleep, loss of mental clarity, and fatigue? \
