Lots of patients are asking me about a "detox" after the sugar holidays!
Detoxing doesn’t mean punishing your body! While the idea of a “quick fix” cleanse might sound appealing, extreme detoxes like juice fasts or detox teas can harm your health instead of helping it.
Risks include:
Nutrient deficiencies 🥴
Hormonal imbalances 🌀
Disruption to your gut microbiome 🌿
The smarter approach? Functional testing can identify which detox pathways in your body need support, whether it’s your liver, gut, or even hormonal balance. This allows you to focus on targeted strategies, like optimizing hydration, incorporating liver-supporting nutrients, or balancing your gut microbiome.
