Caroline and Jennifer were born in the same small town in Central Florida where they met in nursery school at the age of 3.  They remained close friends throughout their school years, participating in beauty pageants, playing clarinets, and sharing some of the most fun and precious childhood memories together.  As adults, Caroline and Jennifer discovered that they share a deep desire for helping others achieve optimal health.  They joined forces in 2005 and they look forward to a successful future together.  Below are some of the photos taken during their pre-teen and teenage years. Enjoy!

Our Philosophy...

 

    

 

A Little Morsel of Enlightenment...

 

Have you ever heard the saying, "You are what you eat"?  How about, "You're only as good as your digestion"?  Maybe you have, maybe you haven't, but they happen to be absolute facts!  Our digestive systems are directly linked to the health of our immune systems, as well as our endocrine, circulatory, central and enteric nervous systems.  What is an enteric nervous system?  Well, we actually have TWO brains in our bodies.  The one in our head and the other located in our gut - often referred to as the "abdominal brain".  These systems must work together to regulate immunity, inflammatory processes and normal digestive function.  If the proper balance of "good" bacteria are abundantly present throughout your digestive tract, these vital systems work in harmony within our bodies.  If the "bad" bacteria out number the good, all sorts of imbalances can occur - depression, candida-related fungal infections, and hormonal imbalances to name just a few.  Now, more than ever, our nation is struggling with its health.  As the "typical" American diet goes global, we are seeing the same health issues that plague our society affecting foreign societies as well.  Obesity, autism and cancer are all rising to epidemic proportions!  In light of recent events, where many popular pharmaceutical drugs were pulled from the market, more and more of us are looking for a "natural" approach to controlling our own health and well-being.  At Immunitrition, we have discovered the ULTIMATE system of healing - where you are the driving force in directing your own path to wellness! 

 

 

Why cleanse internally?

 

Over the years our bodies can accumulate toxins, pesticides, hormones, chemicals and other harmful substances from many sources including air, food, water, vaccinations, amalgam fillings, and medications (OTC and prescription).  These substances can build up and remain in our tissues, making our blood acidic while allowing us to become ideal hosts for pathogens, non-beneficial microbes and yeasts.  These pathogenic organisms steal essential nutrients resulting in imbalance and starvation on a cellular level.  Energy production in the body is lowered to dangerous levels and many processes such as endocrine function, digestion, cognitive function, liver and bowel function, lymphatic drainage, metabolism and much more begin to breakdown. 

 

Then to top it all off, we feed ourselves "empty", "processed" foods that are low in essential nutrients.  The oils we consume are rancid, refined and denatured.  Supermarket vegetables and fruits are genetically modified and are covered with pesticides and herbicides.  We consume diet sodas with artificial sweetners and we eat meat and dairy products full of hormones and antibiotics.  Carcinogens are present in the air we breathe and our water supply is horribly polluted with industrial and lawn chemicals, prescription medications, animal agriculture run-off, jet fuel and so much more.  These substances can lead to a breakdown in our immunity causing all sorts of imbalances from acne to infertility and cancer.  If we do not attempt to expel these invaders from our bodies, we will experience poor health.  It truly is a viscious cycle!  Our livers are clogged and our systems of elimination are terribly sluggish. 

 

The only way to effectively cleanse our internal environment is to start eating LOCALLY GROWN, ORGANIC, WHOLE, and LIVING foods to ensure optimal nutrition, digestion and assimilation.  Energy production will increase and bodily functions can return to normal.  Heavy metals, toxins, and pathogens will leave the body as you will no longer be an ideal host.  Immunitrition reveals how to detoxify and rebuild the delicate inner biosystem within us with Interventional Probiotic Therapy.  Focusing on probiotic nutrition and supplementation, this internal system of healing and rebuilding can and has helped MANY people from all parts of the world regain their digestive function; the true foundation of health and vitality!  

 

 

Why cleanse externally?

 

So, if we can thoroughly cleanse our internal environment, why do we need to cleanse our external environment as well?  You may not be aware of this, but most personal hygiene and beauty products we use today contain synthetic ingredients - some of which can mimic hormone-like activity when they enter our bodies.  Many of these chemicals have NEVER even been tested or proven safe for our use! The worst culprits are lotions, anti-perspirants, toothpastes, shampoos, conditioners, liquid hand and body soaps and detergents and fabric softeners.  Also, do you know that your shower water is full of chlorine?  Many of us love to take a long, hot shower to relax, but what we don't realize is that we are actually breathing in dangerous chlorine vapors AND absorbing this highly carcinogenic substance right into our bodies through our pores!  Chlorine also destroys our inner ecosystem due to the fact that it is a powerful anti-microbial.  An inexpensive shower filter and a kitchen water filter can reduce your exposure to chlorine by nearly 99%!  Your skin is the LARGEST organ you own with millions of pores just waiting to "eat' or "soak up" whatever is applied to it.  Why on earth would you want to expose your scalp and your skin to such harmful chemicals?  

 

At Immunitrition we believe, "If you CAN'T eat it, DON'T put it on your skin"!  Go and read the labels on the beauty products you are currently using.  Would you eat any of them?  Probably not!  Then why apply it to your skin?  It's merely another highway to your bloodstream.  If you are skeptical, think about the new birth control patch and the many pain patches people wear today.  The manufacturers of these products could not market them if their delivery system - the skin - was not effective.

 

Then there is the safety issue of using plastic containers as a convenient way to carry water and to store our left over foods.  Please DO NOT buy and re-use plastic water bottles!  Invest in a Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottle instead.   As plastic ages and breaks down it can become very porous, leeching dangerous chemicals into any substance stored within it - especially if you use plastic in the microwave!  Please DO NOT use any plastic container, bag, or cling wrap in the microwave!!  In fact, you might even want to consider doing away with your microwave completely.  Yes, it's convenient, but it's also a very dangerous appliance, damaging the foods you cook in it along with your health!  A convection oven is much, much safer!    Instead of using plastic, it would be much wiser to use glass containers to store food goods.  Stainless steel is also acceptable, but glass really is best.  Also, please DO NOT cook with teflon coated pots and pans!  Teflon may make cleaning up a bit easier, but it's a dangerous substance you should NEVER put your food in close contact with.  A simple change of cooking and storage supplies in your kitchen can keep you from exposing yourself and your family to many hidden toxins, which can end up as a main ingredient in your delicious recipes.          

 

By implementing an environmental detoxification protocol, you will lift the daily, external, toxic burdens placed upon your immune system, freeing it to concentrate on more important issues.  Not only will you be using natural beauty products and household cleaning agents, but you'll be cleansing the air in your personal environment, be it home or office, with special, low maintenance house plants that possess amazing abilities to detoxify and purify indoor environments.  You will also be consuming the purest water on the planet - water from the AIR!  Imagine bypassing your polluted, grossly chlorinated municipal water system - trading it for a truly clean, "living" water source!  This new technology allows us to tap into the millions of cubic feet of water present in our atmosphere! 

 

 

In summary...

 

By combining our Environmental Cleansing Protocol , Interventional Probiotic Therapies, and Body Divine Fitness Concepts into your daily routine, you will be able to detoxify and repair your inner bio-environment by replenishing and nurturing the beneficial organisms responsible for optimal digestion, while cleansing your outer environment to naturally reduce your exposure to harmful external toxins.  Your body will be able to reach what the scientific community refers to as, "homeostasis" - a constant, balanced state of the internal environment.  Your bio-chemistry will stabilize and you will begin to shed those unwanted pounds while rebuilding your immunity!  Not only must we detoxify internally, but we must also detoxify externally to help lighten the huge toxic burden we place on our immune systems each day through diet and exposure to environmental toxins.
