Busting Detox Myths: What's really good for hormone health

Busting Detox Myths: What's really good for hormone health

Free 5 Day Healthy Habits Reset

Happy New Year, Hormone Hacker! As we welcome in 2024, it's that time of the year when "detox" becomes the hottest buzzword. But before you go all in on the detox train, read on to find out what your body really needs (hint: it's not what you might think!). Improving your hormone health and wellness isn't about hopping on the latest fad; it's about understanding and appreciating your body's incredible natural detox abilities.

Busting Detox Myths: What's really good for hormone health

Myth 1: "Post-Holiday Detox is a Must"

Reality Check: Your body isn’t pressed for a post-holiday rescue mission. It already has the real MVP detoxifiers – your liver and kidneys. These organs are on a constant cleanse cycle, even without specials drinks and diets.

Myth 2: "Detox Diets Work Wonders"

The Honest Scoop: While influencers and marketing might make detox diets seem appealing, they don't do much more than what a balanced, healthy diet can achieve. Plus, they might leave you missing out on crucial nutrients. Sticking to what truly nourishes your body will give you the same results without feeling like you're missing out.

Myth 3: "Juice Cleanses are the Ultimate Detox"

The Lowdown: Juice cleanses and similar programs often lack essential nutrients, leaving you more depleted than detoxified. Sustainable health is about balanced, nutrient-rich meals, not just liquid quick fixes.

Myth 4: "Expensive Supplements are Essential for Detox"

Straight Talk: Supplements can be helpful to help your body achieve optimal function, but they are like the cherry on top of a holistic health sundae. If you're not supporting your body's natural detox systems with by eating a diet rich in whole foods, getting regular physical activity, and adequate sleep then buying supplements will just be throwing your hard earned money out the window.

Myth 5: "Detox Means Deprivation"

The Real Deal: Detoxing isn’t about denying yourself the good stuff. It’s about choosing foods that support your body’s built-in detox processes – think vibrant fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

How Detoxification Goes Down Naturally: Your Body's Detox MVPs

How your body naturally detoxifies itself

- Your Liver: It detoxifies your blood, eliminates waste, and produces essential enzymes.

- Your Kidneys: They filter out toxins and excess fluid from your bloodstream.

- Your Gut: A healthy gut microbiome plays a crucial role in breaking down toxins and maintaining overall wellness.

Ditch the Detox Overhype – Your Essential Checklist

You know the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" It applies to keeping your body functioning at its best too! Besides decreasing the amount of toxins that enter your body, doing the things on this checklist will support your body's natural detoxifiers and have you feeling amazing in your body all year long.

  1. Stay hydrated – water is your best friend in flushing out toxins. Unless you have health conditions or medications that restrict your water intake- aim to drink in ounces half your weight in pounds (e.g. A 200 pound person should aim for 100 oz daily).

  2. Keep moving – find physical activities you love to boost circulation and aid in detoxification and do them for at least 30 min, 5 times a week.

  3. Prioritize sleep – quality zzz’s are when your body does its best detox work so work your way up to 7.5-9 hours nightly by starting a sleep routine that works for you.

  4. Nourish wisely – opt for gut-friendly foods like yogurt, kombucha, and fiber-rich fruits and veggies.

  5. Minimize processed foods and environmental toxins – they’re the real Debbie Downers for your health goals.
