Drainage Funnel

We believe in focusing on the drainage funnel

Liver, colon, gallbladder, lymphatic, kidneys, and mitochondrial support are critical to the healing process and human optimization.

This is true for performance athletes. This is true for those who have been sick for decades.

Focusing on supporting the body’s organs of elimination will provide a foundation for optimized health.

This funnel illustrates the order in which the body eliminates toxins.

COLON: First, we focus on colon health. You should be having 1-3 healthy bowel movements a day (either a Type 3 or Type 4 on the Bristol Stool Chart). If you’re not, focus on this first!

LIVER AND BILE DUCTS: Next, we want to support the liver and bile ducts. Give the body's natural filtration systems a helping hand. Support your detox organs, including your gallbladder and liver, and begin to ease their toxic burden. The liver has a multi-phase detoxification process that helps move toxins into the bile, but it also processes and cleanses the blood. The liver, in fact, has over 500 vital functions! Pathogens, toxins, lack of exercise, and other factors can lead to stagnation of the bile, which leads to a clogged liver and bile duct system.

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM: The lymphatic system is next, sometimes called the body’s secondary circulatory system. This system is critical, not only to the immune system, but also for carrying lymph filled with waste and cellular debris safely out of the body.

ORGANS AND TISSUES: Other organs and tissues can include the kidneys. Kidneys keep the colon hydrated and also work to push waste out of the body. They also replenish amino acids, vitamins, hormones, glucose, and other important nutrients back into the bloodstream.

CELLS: At the top of the chart are the cells, which can be nourished with proper mitochondrial support. This type of support charges cells to maximize energy production, cell signaling, and pure water production. When the mitochondria is being supported, clients will feel more balanced and sustained energy.

All of these systems, organs, tissues, and cells must function together in the elimination process. When one of these sections on the funnel is clogged, everything upstream will clog, too.

This is a vital component to cover in any consultation at the Vagus Clinic, no matter your health goals. Contact the clinic to make an appointment today: https://www.healyourgutfirst.com/contact
