Before you start another cleanse, let's talk about whether you're pooping, eating enough, and giving your body a chance to recover.
Those details matter. A protocol can add more restrictions and more supplements while leaving the reasons you feel lousy completely unaddressed.
In this episode, I'm walking you through three areas I look at first: drainage, ongoing inputs, and cellular energy. We'll use my Marble Run analogy to explore elimination priorities, look at nutrition, environment, and lifestyle, and get into why mitochondria belong in this conversation.
We'll also talk about what to do when a cleanse leaves you feeling worse. Headaches, nausea, diarrhea, or exhaustion deserve a closer look before they're labeled detox progress.
You'll leave with a practical way to observe your daily patterns and choose a manageable starting point.
In this episode
- What I mean by drainage, and the different roles of the bowel, liver and bile, kidneys, and lymphatic system.
- How the Marble Run analogy helps explain why I look at elimination before considering a cleanse.
- Why bowel comfort, straining, and changes in your usual pattern matter alongside frequency.
- How a long list of foods you avoid can hide gaps in what you're actually eating.
- How to approach environmental exposures with specific, useful actions.
- What mitochondria and ATP do, and why cellular work requires nourishment.
- Why feeling worse calls for reassessment, and when symptoms need medical attention.
- What to observe for several days before deciding what to change.
