Detox: noun: : a regimen or treatment intended to remove toxins and impurities from the body

Sounds awesome!

Who wouldn’t love to feel all clean inside, right?

But since there are literally 194,000,000 detox references online, how do we know where to start?

 

Let’s start with some verifiable data…

2 Facts About Detoxes: *

  1. There is no scientific evidence that a certain regimen, or abstinence, actually removes toxins from the body.

  2. Some people report feeling better during and after certain detoxes.

 

Soooo, what are we supposed to do with these seemingly opposing points!?!  

Let’s learn something of value from both…

 First point: You are already detoxing all the time!

Your kidneys, liver, bladder, colon and lungs are on the job right now.

  • Breathing is a cleanse

  • Drinking water is a cleanse

  • Pooping is a cleanse

  • Tinkling is a cleanse

  • Sweating is a cleanse

  • Being active is a cleanse

  • Sleep is a cleanse

 

Seriously. You can relax.

That body of yours is a freakin’ cleansing machine!

No need for that coffee enema after all.

Whew.

 

Second point. Why do some people report feeling better during, and shortly after, a cleanse or detox?

There are many possible reasons. Here are a few…

  • We humans love and need novelty. Trying new things, like a 4 days cleanse, can be fun and motivating!

  • Not over-eating, even if just for 4 days, is a huge relief for your body, and your mind

  • Sticking to any plan for a few days can feel self-ordering and positive

  • Eliminating processed foods with refined sugars supports normal blood sugar levels and stable energy levels

  • Avoiding over-consumption of processed convenience foods for a few days tends to improve digestion

  • Eating whole foods for a few days provides the fiber and nourishment that increase an overall sense of well-being, physically and emotionally

  • Limiting our choices can feel freeing, at least at first

  • Psychologically, the promised health and/or weight loss feels great, at first

These positive outcomes are not about getting rid of toxins, and some of them are unsustainable, however, they are real experiences none-the-less.

BIG TAKE-AWAY: Both science and experience have something to teach us.

 

So…after all this, is there any detox we DO need?

Um. Yes.  

Yes there is.

One detox actually works – and its positive effects last a life-time.

  

THE 2 PART MINDSET DETOX THAT’LL REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LIFE:

1.    FOOD-ANXIETY DETOX

2.    BODY-BASHING DETOX

Imagine with me for just a moment…

What if…

What if you cleansed your food-life of all anxiety?

  •   At the table you’re completely relaxed and present

  • ­   You’re free from food-obsession and confusion

  • ­   You enjoy each bite (and the people you’re with) with gratitude and confidence

  • You choose life-giving balanced fuel because you WANT TO, not because you SHOULD

  • ­   You stop when you’re satisfied

  • ­   You leave the table with high energy – and no regret

  • ­   You don’t give food another thought until your body needs fuel again

 What if you detoxed the critical body-judge right out of your head?

  •   You do not compare your body with others

  • ­   You feel strong and confident in your body

  • ­   You’re keenly aware of all your body can and will do today

  • ­   You feel “at home” in your body

  • ­   You and your body enjoy a strong partnership

  • ­   You feel peaceful and comfortable in your clothes

  • ­   You move through your days with an empowering body-awareness

This is exactly how you’re meant to live.

You get this one life.

Your food fuels it.

Your body carries you through it.

 So please, for The Love of Everything That Matters - do NOT live in unnecessary conflict with your very fuel and body!

You don’t have to.

You can detox yourself from these life-sucking anxieties.

You can be FREE.

All it takes is an honest pilgrimage of liberation.
