The countdown to spring is officially in effect. The winter rain and wind are almost behind us and as the weather warms up plants will be in bloom, the sun will shine and Angelenos may be more prone to getting sick. Occasionally with every bit of good news there is a bit of bad news, which leads me to point out that wellness and warding off colds goes beyond the change of the seasons. Year-round we should make the investment in ourselves to ensure we function at our healthiest.

Just ask Dr. Susanne Bennett, a holistic chiropractor specializing in environmental medicine, allergies, clinical nutrition and chronic immune system disorders. She treats a range of conditions and her unique system of healing “incorporates natural medicine along with subtle immune system modulation and attention to toxic emotional and mental disturbances that can manifest as physical symptoms.”

One way Dr. Bennett can help ensure you are your healthiest is through organ detoxification. According to Dr. Bennett, “The organs of elimination (liver, lungs, kidneys, colon, skin, lymphatic system) can become overburdened by chemical toxins, waste, metabolic end products, pathogens and heavy metals. When this happens, these toxins can enter the bloodstream and tissues and lead to disease.”

Dr. Bennett utilizes various therapies to help the body including diet analysis, homeopathic and herbal remedies, lymphatic drainage, hydrotherapy, far-infrared sauna and heavy metal chelation.

Start this spring season off strong and ward off the last of the winter willies with exercise, a proper diet, nutritional supplements and meditation. Whether you have Dr. Bennett help you or you create your own wellness plan just remember: you too are a blossoming product of this environment so be sure to take care of yourself all year long.
