The Symptoms of Poor Drainage

How can you tell if your drainage is impaired? A good rule of thumb is that if you are symptomatic or have been chronically ill, at least one of your pathways is likely stagnant. To help you identify this more easily, here’s a list of common symptoms of poor drainage:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Hormonal imbalances impacting the thyroid, adrenals, and sex hormones
• Digestive issues: constipation, diarrhea, or both
• Cognitive difficulties: brain fog, trouble focusing, memory issues
• Appetite changes: loss of appetite or not feeling hungry in the morning
• Bloating: after meals or throughout the day
• Emotional challenges: anxiety, depression, mood swings
• Sleep disruptions: waking between 1-4 AM
• Swelling and inflammation
• Lymphatic issues: swollen glands
• Skin changes: yellowish skin, acne, rashes
• Sweating difficulties: taking longer than 10 minutes in the sauna 
• Cellulite and spider veins
• Cardiovascular symptoms: heart palpitations
• Respiratory issues: breathing difficulties
• Frequent infections

Supplements

Following this protocol consistently for 30 days helps lay the foundation your body needs to thrive and prepare for deeper detoxing.

You’ll need the following supplements for the 30-day protocol:

• Advanced TUDCA by Cellcore: 2 capsules twice a day, 30 minutes before meals. For better absorption, I recommend opening the capsules and mixing them in a small amount of water (though they taste quite unpleasant!). You can mix them with a bit of juice if preferred. If you’re new to TUDCA, start with 1 capsule twice a day to assess your tolerance.
• Biotoxin Binder by Cellcore: 2 capsules twice a day, 30 minutes before meals. You can mix this with TUDCA if preferred. Note that binders may cause constipation—if this happens, the Bowel Mover listed below can help.
• Magnesium Breakthrough by BIOptimizers (discount code: PAOLA): 1 capsule twice or three times a day, depending on your stress levels. The higher the stress, the higher the dose. Take with meals for best absorption.
• E-Lyte by BodyBio on Fullscript: 1 capful three times a day in water.
• Mega Benfotiamine by Life Extension on Fullscript: 1 capsule twice a day, with breakfast and dinner. Ensure you’re not on a low-carb diet before introducing benfotiamine.
• PhytoMulti without Iron by Metagenics on Fullscript: 2 tablets with breakfast. If the tablets are difficult to swallow, you can split them in half.
• Bowel Mover by Cellcore (only if constipated): 1 capsule twice a day, 30 minutes before a meal. Open capsules in a little water for better absorption. You can mix them with TUDCA and Biotoxin Binder. If needed, you can take up to 2 capsules twice a day.

Supplement Schedule

Lifestyle

To truly maximize your progress, incorporate the following alongside the recommended supplements:

1. Start your day by catching the sunrise or stepping outside before diving into your devices. This simple act aligns with natural rhythms and supports your entire physiology.
2. Integrate sauna sessions into your routine to induce sweating, a vital aspect of any detox regimen. I personally use the Therasage Infrared Sauna (don't forget to use discount code: PAOLA) for 25-30 minutes, four times a week, maintaining temperatures between 150-170°F. Sweating aids in flushing out toxins, and many toxins prefer it.
3. Ground yourself daily for at least 20 minutes to alleviate inflammation throughout your body. Grounding, or connecting with the earth's surface, has been linked to various health benefits, including reducing oxidative stress and promoting overall well-being.
4. Opt for seasonal eating and steer clear of vegan or vegetarian diets during drainage and detox. These may not provide sufficient protein, which is crucial for supporting detox processes and maintaining overall health.
5. Minimize your exposure to EMF by powering down the Wi-Fi router before hitting the sack and unplugging any devices in your bedroom. Switch your phone to airplane mode and keep it at a distance from your head while sleeping. Grab my Low-EMF guide to learn more. 
6. Ensure you hit the bed early (10:30 PM at the latest) and wrap up your day with nervous system regulation techniques such as:
1. Tapping and massaging your entire body from toes to head while lying down. There are not strict rules here; simply be present with the sensations as you perform this exercise. This may take about 10 minutes.
2. Tune into your body, your breath, noticing any areas of tension, the sensation of the bed beneath you, and so forth. Avoid judgment and the urge to alter anything; just observe with curiosity. Practice this for about 10 minutes.
