Rethinking Detox: It’s Not a Trend—It’s a Function
The word "detox" often conjures up juice cleanses or extreme diets—but the truth is, your body already knows how to detox. It’s doing it every moment of the day. The key is supporting the systems that do this work so they can function at their best.
The 5 Major Detox Pathways
Your body detoxifies through five key systems:
Lymphatic System – Transports cellular waste, proteins, and excess fluid away from tissues. It relies on movement, hydration, and manual stimulation (like massage) to function well.
Liver – Acts as your body’s main filter. It breaks down toxins, metabolizes hormones, and processes medications. It’s supported by nutrients like B vitamins, glutathione, and antioxidants.
Digestive System (Gut) – Eliminates waste and excess hormones via bowel movements. Fiber-rich foods and healthy gut flora are key to this process.
Skin – Releases toxins through sweat. Infrared saunas and skin brushing help open this channel.
Lungs – Eliminate carbon dioxide and airborne pollutants. Breathwork and clean air can support this vital function.
When Detox Systems Get Overloaded
When one of these systems becomes sluggish, others may become overburdened—leading to symptoms like fatigue, acne, bloating, or brain fog.
