Healthy Wellbeing Program
I’m not a fan of the term “detox” and while the Healthy Wellbeing Program works by detoxifying your body and eliminating the nasties, my program by no means involves eating bucketloads of cabbage, lemons, foul tasting teas or starving yourself!
Our bodies are designed to process and remove toxins via our elimination channels (kidneys, liver and digestive system), however, every now and then we can use a kick start to help our body out.
Laura has 5 different Healthy Wellbeing Programs, and to determine which program would best suit your individual needs, Laura will analyse your current diet as well as ask you to complete a “Toxin Profile” which outlines the levels of toxins you experience on a daily basis. From there, Laura will customise your Healthy Wellbeing Program to ensure the best results for YOU!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim through my Private Health Fund?
Absolutely, check with your health fund to confirm how much you can claim back.
I thought the liver was our primary detoxification organ, why does this detox start with addressing the gut?
Although the liver is one of our primary detoxification organs, the gastrointestinal system also plays a substantial role in detoxification. What’s more, after toxins have been processed into less harmful substances by the liver, they are often returned to the digestive tract for excretion from the body. If the digestive function is not corrected, there is a risk that some of these toxins may get reabsorbed into the bloodstream. As harmful intestinal microflora can also create their own internal toxic by-products, it is also important that gut health is corrected to minimise further assault on the digestive organs.
What is the difference between your Healthy Wellbeing Program and fasting or juice detoxes?
Detoxification is a process which involves amino acids, which come from protein, to assist in eliminating toxins from the body. Amino acids are used to bind to molecules requiring detoxification and effectively eliminate them from the body. Without adequate protein from your diet, your body is unable to effectively detoxify. Juice is a combination of water, sugars and in some cases small amounts of fibre. Juice fasting does not provide adequate amounts of protein for detoxification, and in many cases can cause a loss in muscle mass as the amino acids from your own muscle are used to support the detoxification process. By including protein in your detoxification diet this will ensure that your body has sufficient amino acids to support optimal detoxification; likewise, you will preserve your muscle mass and improve the outcomes of your Healthy Wellbeing Program.
How does this program differ to the one that I can purchase off the shelf?
Over recent years “detox programs” have become very popular and even fashionable. There are now countless types of detox’s which claim to be a quick-fix. The one-size fits all approach to detox can dramatically affect both the safety and the efficacy of the program. These programs lack the support of a healthcare Practitioner and their advice to suitably prescribe something to address your health requirements. A Practitioner program has numerous benefits. The supplements used in the Metagenics Detox Programs can only be prescribed by Practitioners and are evidence-based, low reactive formulas that are of the highest quality. Unlike a store-bought program, the Integrative Wellness Programs are tailored to suit your needs as an individual. Regular screening and contact with your Practitioner is needed to perform health screenings and evaluate the efficacy and safety of the program for you, as well as help to support and motivate you to keep you on track and achieve optimal results.
Will I lose weight on the Healthy Wellbeing Program?
While the Healthy Wellbeing Programs are not designed specifically for weight loss, in many cases, individuals notice weight reductions due to healthier food choices. If weight loss is a goal for you, Laura can develop a specialised program for you.
