First, it’s an incredible way to jumpstart any healing journey!

Second, you need to improve your habits when you’re trying to get well and STAY well. Not only does this Functional Medicine Detox empty years or decades of built-up toxins and prepare your body for any health goal you have, but it’s also a reset for your mind.

It involves changing eating habits, fasting, cleaning up your meals, and starting supplements that I recommend staying on long-term for the powerful health, energy and anti-aging qualities they promote.

No matter your goals, this detox will help you get there MUCH MUCH faster…whether that’s losing weight, gaining more energy, or feeling younger, no matter what it is, this detox is a massive kickstart!

AND, it gives you a MASSIVE win, QUICKLY…meaning you will be much more motivated to continue on the roadmap and make changes needed for lasting health. Motivation is essential to stay committed and stay on course!

Toxins are one of the biggest root causes of disease and aging in the body, and when you dump years of toxins, it impacts every cell, organ and system in your body allowing it to function better. This allows for significant improvement with nearly all symptoms. It’s been shown to help with…

● Bloating

● Dry skin

● Brain fog

● Hormone Imbalances

● Sustained and healthy weight loss

● Mood Disorders

● Deeper sleep

● Less anxiety

● More energy

● Sharper thinking

● Improved digestion

● Restoring nutrient deficiencies

● Clearer skin

● Overall better mood

You’ll likely notice a significant improvement in how you feel once the detox is complete, although results can vary based on factors like your total toxic load, diet, and lifestyle.

Using the sauna during your detox is highly recommended, as it can accelerate the detoxification process and enhance the overall success of your detox journey.

However, if you're feeling drained on your fasting days, avoiding the sauna and giving your body time to rest and recuperate is best. Fasting can be demanding on the body, and taking a break can facilitate the detoxification and healing process.

While this detox program is an excellent starting point for those seeking to kickstart their weight loss journey, it's worth noting that anyone can reap the rewards of detoxification, regardless of their weight loss goals. The extent of weight loss may vary depending on factors such as your toxic load and the detox duration,but shedding anywhere from 5 to 20 pounds is common.

If you're not looking to lose weight, consider incorporating a cup of blueberries into your smoothies on days 3 to 7, and add more permissible starches like sweet potatoes to your meals. Additionally, if you're not keen on losing weight, you can opt out of the fasting days. However, bear in mind that fasting days offer significant benefits, and skipping them may affect the overall outcome of your detox experience.

You'll receive an adequate supply of Daily Nutritional Support powder for your breakfast, afternoon shakes, and all the shakes you'll need during your fasting days as part of the detox package.

However, you'll need to purchase the ingredients for your lunch and dinner items, except for the fasting days when you won't consume any solid foods. Notably, the detox kit includes a comprehensive food shopping guide to aid you in your shopping.

You won’t be eating out; so many people save money during the detox.

Toxins are present in all of us, although some individuals expel them faster than others.

The longer your detox, the more benefits you will experience. Although I recommend a 21 day detox, if you can only complete a 7 or 14 day detox, you will still benefit, but not NEARLY as much as if you commit to the full 21-day.

Even if you don't experience significant changes immediately, you reduce your toxic load whenever you consume a DNS (Daily Nutritional Support) shake, detox supplement, or healthy meal. Therefore, a functional medicine detox can be advantageous for anyone.

For optimal outcomes, it’s best to avoid coffee and caffeine. To prepare for detoxing, gradually reduce your coffee intake the week before starting. Abruptly stopping coffee can lead to withdrawal symptoms - like really bad headaches - which can be mistaken for detox symptoms.

However, if you prefer to continue consuming coffee, limiting yourself to no more than 6 ounces of black, organic, mold-free coffee is best. I also recommend drinking your coffee before noon so it doesn’t mess with your sleep. And yes, I drink one cup of black coffee each morning while detoxing.

Absolutely! The detox program is free of GMOs, gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs, and soy.

You can customize your meals based on your dietary limitations and scrutinize the components in the DNS shake and the other two supplements to prevent adverse reactions.

If you are allergic to one of the ingredients in the DNS shake or detox supplements, do not take them. Just following the diet and schedule alone is hugely healing and detoxifying!

The DNS powder provides 15 grams of protein in every two scoops, which can cause a break in your fast for many individuals. Therefore, while fasting, consuming only one scoop of the powder is recommended four times a day, providing 7.5 grams of protein per shake. You can use a glucometer to track your blood sugar levels; as long as your blood sugar remains below 95, you are still fasting.

Although you are consuming calories you get almost all of the benefits of a zero calorie fast while giving your body the energy and nutrients it needs to detoxify.

If this is your first time, the 21-day detox is an excellent method for reducing a lifetime of toxin accumulation. While a 7 or 14-day detox can still be advantageous, a 21-day program is ideal for beginners and REALLY sets the stage for optimal health and longevity.

Also, once you complete 7 days I bet you’ll gain the confidence, results and motivation to go 2 more weeks.

Before starting the detox, I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for you. If you choose to proceed with the detox, just fast as long as you’re able to comfortably on the fast days (1 and 2).

As your body becomes more metabolically flexible (meaning you don’t need to constantly consume carbs all day for energy) you will gradually be able to fast longer with no adverse symptoms.

I also suggest focusing on maintaining adequate hydration by incorporating minerals and electrolytes into your diet An easy way to do this is to squeeze a bit of lemon or lime in your drinking water and adding a pinch of sea salt.

To avoid weight loss, add berries (organic or wild) to your smoothies. If eating becomes necessary during the initial two days, follow the instructions for days 3-7.

No surprise there :) See my article “What To Do After Your Detox To Maintain And Build On Results” that you can find in the Detox Challenge Resource Hub.

The objective of the detox is progress, not perfection. If you accidentally skip something, continue the detox program as scheduled. The aim is to enhance hydration, optimize liver detoxification, and reduce stress. No big thing if you accidentally miss a capsule.

The detox program was designed with great care to maximize outcomes, but you can adapt it to suit your requirements. Refrain from having your initial shake before 6 am and spacing out the remaining shakes by 3.5-4 hours as best you can. As much as possible, adhere to the list of authorized foods and allocate time for food preparation to ensure a successful outcome.

Most can complete this detox, but please consult your health practitioner if you:

● Are under the age of 18

● Are pregnant or breastfeeding

● Have liver or kidney disease

● Have a gallbladder condition

● Have appendicitis or a history of it

● Have an eating disorder

● Have Type 1 diabetes

● On medications that are contraindicated with any ingredients in the detox shakes or supplements.

You should seek advice from your healthcare provider to verify that none of the shakes and/or supplement ingredients conflict with your prescribed medications. Unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare practitioner, please continue taking all prescribed medications throughout the duration of the detox.

During the detox program, you can drink unsweetened and caffeine-free herbal tea. You may have 6 ounces of black coffee in the morning if necessary. Refrain from consuming coconut water or drinks with natural or added sugar. To guarantee that you consume pure water in all your approved beverages, utilize a filtration system like the AquaTru water filtration system I use.

Certainly, unless you are feeling depleted on fasting days, pay attention to your body's signals and take it easy if required. The primary objective of the detox program is to supply the body with essential nutrients to facilitate toxin removal, rest, and rejuvenation.

So yes, you can exercise; just don’t overdo it! Exercise for maintenance – no pushing yourself for PR’s, we want that energy used for detoxing.

Yes! The capsules can be pulled apart and mixed into your shakes.
