Why do I need to detox? Besides the obvious environmental pollutants we are all exposed to daily I have a lifetime of garbage in my system. I grew up eating the standard crappy American diet of pasta, bread, pizza, fried food, peanut butter and fluff sammiches on white bread, cereal, oreos, ect. You get the picture. I have "silver" fillings which are actually made of mercury. I have partied too hard, slept too little, and eaten too poorly for too many years of my life. I am sure many of you can relate
When I finally started caring about my health my life drastically improved, I had endless energy, I slept well, seasonal allergies went away. Initially I felt amazing, however after a while I started having some issues with acne, something I never struggled with in my life appearing in my late 20s was unbearably frustrating. I also got pregnant and had a baby so my body hasn't really been my own for the last two and a half years. I ended up dealing with intermittent bouts of emotional issues and exhaustion, reoccurring UTIs and just a general lack of wellness on my part despite eating an organic unprocessed diet 80-90% of the time. We eat well, filter our water, exercise, follow a primal/paleo style diet, I eliminated most of my conventional beauty and personal care products, don't take any medication, see a chiropractor, get sunlight exposure, take high quality supplements, and still my health is not where I expect it to be.
Then one day I saw this article and I felt like she was speaking right to me. Followed by this one shortly after. So I decided it was time to do some spring cleaning on my body. Check back for the process, diet, supplements, and results of my reset.
