CleanNERVES
CleanNERVES play a critical role in transmitting signals throughout the body, allowing for communication between the brain and different parts of the body. They serve as the electrical wiring system that enables us to move, feel sensations, and coordinate bodily functions. Understanding the significance of CleanNERVES in signal transmission and coordination is essential for maintaining optimal nervous system health.
Why is it important to have CleanNERVES?
​
-
Signal Transmission: Nerves are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses, known as nerve impulses or action potentials, throughout the body. These impulses travel along specialized cells called neurons, which are connected in intricate networks. The nerves relay signals between the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral organs, muscles, and tissues. This allows for coordinated movement, sensory perception, and regulation of bodily functions.
​
-
Sensory Perception: CleanNERVES are involved in relaying sensory information from the environment to the brain. Different types of nerves, such as sensory nerves, carry signals related to touch, temperature, pain, pressure, and other sensory modalities. The nerves transmit these signals to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted, allowing us to perceive and respond to the world around us.
​
-
Motor Coordination: In addition to sensory perception, CleanNERVES enable motor coordination by transmitting signals from the brain to the muscles. Motor nerves carry signals that initiate muscle contractions, allowing us to move our limbs, control facial expressions, and perform various voluntary actions. The nerves facilitate precise and coordinated movements required for everyday activities and complex tasks.
​
-
Autonomic Function: CleanNERVES are also involved in regulating involuntary bodily functions through the autonomic nervous system. This system controls essential processes such as heart rate, digestion, respiration, and hormone secretion. Autonomic nerves carry signals that maintain balance and homeostasis within the body, ensuring optimal functioning of organs and systems.
How does the Cleanbody Method support CleanBRAIN?
There are three steps in the Cleanbody Method, and all of the steps support CleanNERVES.
STEP 1: EVALUATE​
It is important for you to evaluate your nerve health on a yearly basis with your healthcare practitioner. In our CleanSTART program, we will support you in investigating your nerve health using nerve health assessments and testing including:
​
-
Neurotransmitter Testing: Specialized tests can assess the levels of neurotransmitters in the body, providing insights into potential imbalances that may contribute to mental health conditions. If you are working with our Cleanbody Team, we may discuss ordering neurotransmitter testing to understand your nervous system function.
-
Functional Testing: Functional testing is another valuable tool for understanding the factors that may contribute to nervous system dysfunction. Through functional testing, we can assess various nutritional factors that play a role in maintaining a healthy nervous system. This may include testing for levels of B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other nutrients essential for optimal brain function. Functional testing provides valuable insights into your nutritional status and can guide targeted interventions to support a CleanBRAIN. If you are working with our Cleanbody Team, we may discuss ordering functional testing to understand your nervous system function.
-
Environmental Toxin Testing: Assessing your exposure to environmental toxins is important as certain toxins can affect nervous system function. Environmental toxin testing can help identify potential sources of toxins and guide mitigation strategies. Testing may involve analyzing heavy metals, chemicals, indoor air quality, water quality, and personal care products for potential toxins.
​
STEP 2: OPTIMIZE
In Step 2 of the Cleanbody Method, we support you in optimizing your Cleanbody Pillars. The following Cleanbody Pillars support CleanNERVES:
-
CleanFOOD: A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, particularly B vitamins, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, provides the necessary nourishment for nerve health.
​
-
CleanFIT: Adopting a healthy lifestyle positively impacts nervous system health. Regular exercise promotes blood flow, oxygenation, and nutrient delivery to the nerves, supporting their function and overall health.
​
-
CleanMIND: Chronic stress can have negative effects on the nervous system. Implement stress management techniques such as relaxation exercises, mindfulness practices, and engaging in activities that promote emotional well-being. These practices help reduce stress levels and support the health of CleanNERVES.

STEP 3 SUPPORT
In Step 3, we will explore additional supplements and treatments that can provide support in nurturing CleanNERVES, if needed. While a balanced diet and lifestyle are key, certain circumstances may benefit from additional interventions, including nutritional supplements, herbs and homeopathy, advanced nutrition plans, supportive treatments, and compounded medications when available for use.
