Digestion is how nutrients get into the body. When the stomach breaks down food with gastric acid, our body receives macronutrients and micronutrients. Pancreatic enzymes break down food further so that nutrients can be moved to—and absorbed in—the small intestine. If these systems aren’t working well, then the nutritional benefits of food will not be maximized.
What are the detox organs?
- The Liver
- For which there are various phases of detox, each pathway being nutrient dependent.

- The Kidneys
- Through which toxins are filtered out of the blood and eliminated through urination.

- The Lungs
- Which get rid of toxins that are breathed in, as well as carbon dioxide, the byproduct of respiration.

- The Colon
- While the liver and kidneys are the primary detox organs, the colon takes on a secondary detox function through elimination.

- The Skin
- Toxins that can’t get out through the colon or bladder come out through the skin; therefore, skin rashes and/or issues may speak to detox organ health.

The digestive system is a tube that starts with the mouth and goes to the anus, with a variety of processes occurring along the way. Each component of the digestive system has its own role in the process of food consumption and elimination. The liver and the colon specifically function in digestive detoxification. Issues with the digestive system can impact general health.
The liver, one of the three solid organs in the digestive system, removes toxins from the body. There are various detox phases of the liver, and each pathway is nutrient dependent. Hence, food feeds the liver the nutrients it needs, through the blood system, to fulfill the detox process. However, if the right nutrients aren’t available, toxin elimination from metabolic processes will be inhibited. Therefore, without good liver function, there won’t be good digestion and detoxification.
Microcirculation can optimize liver function during the digestive process by introducing more blood flow (and thus, oxygen and nutrients) to the organ. In the same way, an increase in blood flow also enhances stomach function and the ability for way the pancreas to make digestive enzymes.
