A Closer Look at How Detox Can Aid Weight Loss

A Closer Look at How Detox Can Aid Weight Loss

You’re ready to shed extra pounds, and you know that reaching a healthier weight means cleaning up your diet and getting active. You’re feeling motivated, but you also welcome every bit of support you can get — especially if it’s from a weight loss management expert who can offer customized treatments to improve your results. 

Jennylle Zanzi, FNP-C, and our team at RVA Regenerative Wellness are here to help. After going over your medical history and conducting a comprehensive physical with lab work, we might find your personal weight loss process could benefit from hormone replacement therapy, “Skinny shot” fat-burning injections, or injectable weight loss medication. 

If you feel generally sluggish or tired all the time, we may recommend a detox treatment. Let’s take a closer look at how 30 minutes in our ozone sauna can increase your circulation, reduce oxidative stress, ease inflammation, and give your metabolism a boost.

Your body detoxifies itself naturally

You’re exposed to toxins and other harmful substances nearly every day — whether it’s in the food you eat (i.e., artificial additives), in the air you breathe (i.e., automobile emissions), or in the products you put on your skin (i.e., lead or arsenic in makeup). 

Whether toxins make their way into your body through your mouth, airway, or skin, your lymphatic system, lungs, kidneys, liver, and colon do a very good job of removing them from your blood, organs, and tissues and eliminating them as waste products.  

Sometimes, you need a detox boost

For the most part, your natural cleansing systems protect your body from toxins and other harmful substances, keeping you balanced and healthy. Toxin buildup may arise, however, if any part of your detox system becomes bogged down or overwhelmed. 

This can happen when your body is overexposed (or chronically exposed) to substances or contaminants that hamper your natural detox mechanisms — such as allergens, alcohol, food additives, pesticide residues, chemicals, and heavy metals. 

Even a slight buildup of toxins in your body can lead to subtle, non-specific symptoms like:

It can also bog down your metabolism, making it easier to pack on the pounds — and harder to shed them — even with consistent healthy dietary patterns and exercise habits.  

Aiding weight loss with ozone detox

If you’re trying to lose weight but the process seems to be slow and beset by low energy, it’s worth asking whether you could benefit from detoxification. At RVA Regenerative Wellness, we offer one of the most advanced detox therapies available: the ozone sauna.   

Ozone (O3) is a molecule made up of three oxygen molecules. Although it’s highly unstable in liquid form, when it’s in gas form, this super-charged oxygen has therapeutic qualities. 

When you sit in the ozone sauna and allow this therapeutic gas bathe over you, it seeps through your skin and helps:

An ozone sauna detox session only takes 30 minutes. During that time, you simply sit back and relax, allowing the hot steam to open your pores so your skin can absorb more oxygen. As the ozone reaches toxins in your body, it oxidizes them for easy release. 

Besides helping you feel less stressed and more energized, ozone sauna detoxification serves to rev up your metabolism, giving you a temporary boost that can help shift your weight loss efforts back into high gear.
