The Truth About ‘Detox’—What Works, What Doesn’t

The Truth About ‘Detox’—What Works, What Doesn’t

🚫Detox Isn’t What You Think
Your body detoxes every single day—no juice cleanse required. The real detox heroes? Your liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, and digestive tract. But while your body has built-in mechanisms to clear toxins, modern life (think pollution, processed foods, stress) can overload these systems. That’s where supporting detox—not forcing it—makes all the difference.

🌿What Actually Helps

  • Milk thistle + dandelion root: These herbs support liver function and cellular regeneration.
  • Sweating it out: Infrared saunas, hot yoga, or a good cardio session help eliminate toxins through the skin.
  • Fiber + hydration: Daily elimination is crucial. Soluble fiber binds to toxins and helps carry them out of the body.
  • Sleep: Your brain literally flushes out toxins at night through the glymphatic system. Poor sleep = poor detox.

🙅♀️What Doesn’t Work

  • Juice-only cleanses: Usually lack protein, fiber, and healthy fats—and can slow your metabolism.
  • Detox teas: Often just laxatives in disguise, which can dehydrate and stress your gut.
  • Fad cleanses promising “instant results”: Real detox is ongoing, not a weekend crash course.

📌Sustainable Detox = Daily Support
Think of detox like brushing your teeth: small, consistent habits are more effective than occasional extremes. Nourish your detox organs with whole foods, targeted supplements, and sleep—not restriction.
