If you are curious what a post looks like in my Fall 14-Day Reset! Group; here’s a great example!
There is still time to join us!
We start Monday, 9/1/25!

Post in the detox group:
Here we go! The time is here to open your minds up, and pay attention to the knowledge being shared!
The more you learn about your body, the processes it undergoes, and why things happen the way they do, the more informed your medical decisions will be going forward, and the better off you will be in the long run!
So, I thought, why not start out this 14-day reset learning week with some BIOCHEMISTRY 🙂
I am 100% a huge nerd, and biochemistry is my jam! Let's break down the detox process, and why this is so very important for you going forward!
Biotransformation is really just a fancy term that science loving people use that means taking a substance that is toxic and turning it into a substance that less toxic, so your body can bind it to another substance, and eliminate it.
In the case of our bodies, it takes toxins and wastes, and binds them to a substance so they can be eliminated through urine or f***s.
The first phase of this "fancy process" is called phase one (couldn't they have named this better?).
All jokes aside though, here is the important information:
Phase one biotransformation occurs in the tissues, mostly in the liver, but it can also happen in the lungs, fat tissues, intestines, and skin.
Phase one biotransformation has several enzymatic reactions that the body performs; to help the fat-soluble toxins turn into more water soluable substances (polar) through the process of oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis.
This conversion is typically achieved by adding or exposing polar functional groups like -NH2 or -OH through oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis. These reactions make the toxin or substance more readily excretable from the body.
The problem today is that there are so many toxins that we are exposed to, the body is overwhelmed by them, your detox pathways are not able to keep up, and your body will start accumulating the wastes in places we do not them stored (more to come on that).
There are so many toxins out there, we are literally swimming in toxin soup!
What causes the real issue here? An elevated total toxic load.
Total toxic load is a sum of all of the toxins your body has come into contact with.
When your body is no longer able to keep up with eliminating the toxins you are exposed to, you get into trouble very fast!
