Detoxing is a good way to start on a system of health and beauty. For many people the word detox or cleanse is scary because it sounds unpleasant or too complicated, but it’s actually pretty simple to do.

Natural health expert and award-winning author, Dr. Christine Horner says committing to a simple home detox for just three days can help your liver get a jump start on shedding toxins that have likely been accumulating during the winter season from inactivity, emotional stress and not getting enough sunshine. She shares her vitality and health secrets with Mark Alyn on Late Night Health.

Horner, a board-certified plastic surgeon
who left her lucrative plastic surgery practice
after an experience nearly 20 years ago changed her approach to helping her patients
obtain health and youthfulness that she details in
her new book, “Radiant Health, Ageless Beauty”
(Elgea Publishing, 2016).

The secrets to youthfulness can be harnessed at any age using her 30-day program, as outlined in her book. A simple detox program is discussed that can make changes to your life in as little as three days. This is a do it yourself detox plan to regain a glowing complexion, boost energy and mood, stimulate the immune system, improve digestion and facilitate weight loss.

Dr. Horner also talks about supplements including AHCC which is found in certain mushroom extracts. AHCC works to strengthen the immune system and may help to reduce the risk of cancer.

If you're feeling a little burned out, your skin is breaking out and you can’t shake those mood swings, it may be that your liver is working overtime to shed some of the toxins that have been building up in your body. Now is the time to reboot your system and get healthy. While written for women, the program works equally well for men as well.
