Do we need detox protocols and supplements to address all the toxic exposures we get every day?
For probably 95% of people, the answer is NO!
Our bodies have a built-in detox system that works 24/7. Our liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system are constantly working to eliminate harmful substances.
However…
🔹 We’re exposed to far more toxins than ever before, and many can build up in our bodies.
🔹 Many people have compromised detox pathways—think liver issues, chronic constipation, and oxidative stress.
Supporting your body’s natural detox processes doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
Swipe through for easy ways to support your body’s natural detoxification processes!
1. Eat nutrient-dense foods that support natural detox
🥦 Cruciferous veggies – Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, and cabbage help activate liver detox pathways.
🧄 Onions, garlic & shallots – These alliums contain compounds that support optimal liver function.
🌿 Cilantro – Helps bind heavy metals and may boost glutathione, our master antioxidant.
🍵 Matcha tea – Packed with antioxidants to help reduce liver inflammation and assist toxin elimination.
🥚 Sulfur-rich foods – Eggs, mushrooms, meat, and fish can help increase glutathione levels for better detoxification.
2. Poop! 💩Staying regular is important because pooping is how we literally eliminate waste products from our bodies!
3. Stay hydrated💧Our kidneys need water in order to do their job - one of which is flushing waste products out of the body.
4. Get good sleep
😴Emerging research suggests that during sleep, our brains flush out toxins (mostly metabolic waste products)
5. Stay active
🏃♀️The lymphatic system is referred to as the “garbage disposal company” of the body - it flushes cellular waste, toxins, viruses, and more. Unlike the heart, this system doesn’t have a pump, so we need to pump it manually, and we do that by moving!
There’s no need for a strict detox plan—just aim to focus on these fundamentals. Plus, they offer plenty of other health benefits beyond detox!
