Going into a detox or any shift in nutrition and lifestyle is likely to come with questions. What are the best practices? How to go about it? What to expect? How to get further support?
We’re here to help! Have a look at the FAQ below and if your answer is missing, please send us an email through the form. We look forward to hearing from you.
How do I know if I need a detox?
Put simply, you need to detox when your body is overloaded with toxins. These toxins present differently in everybody but some common signs include bad skin, having problems with weight and constantly lacking energy. Our bodies actually detoxify naturally, but after constant exposure to toxins, the process can become compromised and our body can struggle to cleanse our organs and tissues properly. Eating a diet that incorporates a lot of meat, dairy and processed or fatty foods can clog the system. Regardless of your diet choices, the state of your detoxification mechanisms and your exposure to toxins (not just food, but chemicals too), just about everyone can benefit from the occasional detox. Think of it as a way to reboot your system, giving your body a fesh start.
When is the best time to start a detox?
A change in season in general is a great time to do a detox. It’s during these times that our body’s requirements change, so doing a week or month-long detox can give you a boost of energy right when you need it. Otherwise, it’s always a good idea to do a detox after a time of consistent overindulgence. On the flip side, there are times where detoxing is not a good idea. Doing a cleanse while you’re pregnant, stressed, sick or still recovering is not recommended.
How will I feel during the detox?
Withdrawing from caffeine and other stimulants isn’t always easy, and you may feel bad withdrawing from some foods as well. This should go away in a few days, and you may decide to do without these things permanently.
Why do I cut out gluten and dairy?
Gluten is particularly hard to digest, and it’s not uncommon for people to feel better when they cut out wheat, barley, and rye, even if they don’t have celiac disease. And it’s not just gluten—other proteins in grains can cause inflammation in the intestine. Inflammation results in a leaky gut wall that allows toxic molecules to pass into the body. People frequently aren’t aware that intolerances to grains or other foods could be responsible for issues they’ve been dealing with, such as migraines, congestion, gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Dairy products contain lactose, a sugar that most people don’t digest very well.
How do we match our schedules?
Great news! The modules in the course are perfectly spaced out so that they will be easy for you to get through without getting overwhelmed. They’re all online and easy to access whenever you have time. Each of the modules are broken up into shorter content and videos so you can get through as you have time.
How will I know if the detox is working?
Everybody is different and the effects of a detox vary. A cleanse works by releasing the toxins and as they work their way out of your body, they can cause a variety of side-effects along the way. It is quite normal to feel worse before you feel better. Sometimes people experience headaches, fatigue, nausea and even flu-like symptoms. Others experience bad skin, stronger smelling sweat and urine or a coating on their tongue that causes bad breath. While these kinds of symptoms are all signs that your body is detoxifying, they can be quite overwhelming, even if they are temporary.
What is not included in the detox?
All food and drinks (including juices) are not provided. We also work with many detox tools to support you in this journey and this purchase is at your own expense too. We also give many suggestions on practices such as yoga, massage or acupuncture. All these appointments are at an extra charge at your own decision.
