The Highs & Lows of Detoxification
Detoxing is Confusing!
As you embark on this life changing journey, you will be healing at a rapid pace, sorting through old toxins / old emotions and releasing them both. Sometimes you will feel down in the dumps, other times you will feel higher than high. Detoxing can be an unpredictable rollercoaster! Try not to make too many plans in advance if possible because you never know how you will be feeling. Most likely, you will be feeling A LOT!
Expeirencing Emotional Nakedness
We are trained all of our lives to numb down our feelings using food, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol & other distractions. Now is the time to get to know YOU. To feel it all. When you get those uncomfortable feelings you are used to numbing down with food or other drugs, you will be forced to sit in it which is technically the only way to heal it, through actually feeling it. Afterall, we don’t want to be numb anymore, we want the FULL human experience!
When you feel sick during the detox, as you inevitably will, your mind will begin scrambling. You will wonder if the fruit you juiced was bad or if you caught a cold at the supermarket by not wearing your mask. The truth is, you are not sick, you are HEALING. The dark truth is that we are all very sick. Hardly anyone has their organs intact as they teach in anatomy and NO ONE has a normally shaped colon anymore. Unless of course you have done an extended juice fast with me. An extended juice fast is by far the best colon cleanse a human being can do.
The detox experience will be a humbling one. As you make it through one healing crisis after the next you will come to understand that you are in fact, healing. You will recognize that when you feel these symptoms, your body is working hard to remove dangerous foreign material from your gut and you soon feel better than ever after it passes. Detox symptoms should only last an hour to 72 hours.
Dizziness, chills, feeling cold, headaches, tingliness, irritability and exhaustion are all very common symptoms of detox. If any of these are prolonged or to the point where they scare you, contact me and prepare to have a smoothie. A smoothie won’t be breaking your SOLID FOOD VACATION, but it will slow your detox to a more manageable pace that is more comfortable for you.
You can amp up or slow down the detox process using various methods that I will discuss with you during your coaching. YOU are in control of the pace of your detox! Detoxing takes years, but with a long juice fast you can heal MAJOR disease within a month. This is the fast track! But it is not for the faint of heart.
If you are feeling bad, it is a sign to rest, not fix yourself. All you need is time and more juice, trust me.

Oral Hygiene
It is important to remember that even though you aren’t eating food like you normally do, you are still washing your teeth and gums with mass amounts of nutrients all day. It’s a good practice to swish with water after each juice. Make sure you brush your teeth well in the morning and at night. Feel free to try brushing with charcoal!
This is a fun natural toothpaste.
Avoiding Toxins
As you become cleaner than you were as a fetus in your mothers womb, you may start to notice you are more sensitive to toxins. There are toxins hidden in everything in our world in 2021. Anything with “natural fragrance” should be thrown out. All candles, detergents, lotions that have this listed as an ingredient are cancerous and should be avoided. Do not put anything on your skin that you would not eat. I personally only use coconut oil and urine, but urine therapy is a whole different discussion. If you would like to know more, please ask me for that protocol as well and check out the video below.
