Hey hey! I hope you’re enjoying the week so far. I’m meeting with some friends for breakfast and then have an exciting EquiLife call this afternoon. It’s perfect timing because I’m starting to get excited and ready for our next community detox – we start September 16th if you’d like to join in!
Now that summer is winding down and the kids are back in school, and we’re back into a routine after lots of vacation time this summer, it’s the perfect time for a reset. I’ll be doing the 14-day version (I’ve done all three versions!) and you can decide if you’d like to join in for 7, 14, or 21 days. You have plenty of time to get your kit, and you can use the code FITNESSISTA10 for 10% off.
When you hear the word “detox,” you might immediately be turned off, and rightly so.
A lot of detoxes are…well, terrible.
They’re not designed with a purpose, although they’re often marketed as products to help you lose weight quickly, and the main goal is to drink (often sugary) liquids for a few days before resuming your life. I’ve done some juice cleanses with popular brands in the past. I usually didn’t last very long, and they typically left me feeling worn down, depleted, and hangry. And even if I did manage to lose a few pounds, they never stayed gone for long (it was all water weight anyway).
This one is entirely different. I’ve done it previously with amazing results, and I’m pumped to do it again. My body has been craving a bit of a “reset.” I’ve been enjoying sugar and processed foods more frequently than usual lately, and I’ve noticed a dip in my skin’s appearance and my energy levels. It’s time to kickstart my way back into my typical, sustainable habits with this little boost.
I would love to do this as a community if you’d like to join in! (It would be so amazing to see 250 friends doing this and supporting each other along the way!)
7-day Dr. Cabral EquiLife Detox:
Here’s more about this 7-day detox:
– It’s a liver-based detox to help reset your body, provide a break from digesting heavy foods, and potentially help your body with removing toxins that we accumulate from our environment. It includes functional medicine ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs to support phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification.
– It’s nutrition-focused. It includes the POWERHOUSE Daily Nutritional Support powder (which I have every.single.day and have for the past years or so), and meal guidelines for the remaining meals. The goal is to NOT have your body depleted of nutrients during the process.
– It can potentially help with weight loss, along with anti-aging, and full body wellness.
– The shortest version is only 7 days! When I first started working with a naturopath (back in the old days! It was like 2010), he had me do a month-long detox that was similar in format (but did not include the Ayurvedic supplements). It’s so much easier to do for 7 days, and I feel like my results were even better from the extra nutritional support. (The first two days are supplements, and smoothies only, and on day 3, you add in nutrient-dense meals using their meal guideline/template. You can also modify or skip the first two fasting days. I’ve learned that for me, I feel my best when I start the program on Day 3 and skip the fasting days.)
Top 6 ingredients that are included in the program:
1) N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), which can stimulate the production of glutathione in the body
2) Glutathione, which is an antioxidant that can aid in healing and liver detoxification
3) Broccophane, an antioxidant that can enhance the liver’s detoxification ability
4) Alpha Lipoic Acid, another antioxidant that can improve detoxification
5) Triphala, a trifecta of Ayurvedic herbs that can support detox and digestion
6) Vitamins and minerals, to support the body and help to close nutrient gaps
Each detox kit includes the following:
Daily Nutritional Support:
This one-stop-shop for vitamins, minerals, protein, electrolytes, and antioxidants is the heart-and-soul of the Dr Cabral Detox. With 15 grams of vegan protein, Daily Nutritional Support provides your body with much-needed energy and nutrition on a daily basis while your body begins to remove harmful toxins.
FM Detox:
Utilizing the most recent research in Functional Medicine, FM Detox provides the compounds necessary to support both phases of liver detoxification. Essential amino acids, antioxidants, and botanical extracts like milk thistle help the body to capture and move toxins to the liver where they can be metabolized and removed during phase two. Ingredients like dandelion root extract support the production of bile which aids in elimination. As a diuretic, dandelion root increases water supplied to the liver which facilitates toxin elimination in the urine.
AYU Detox:
Incorporating ancient Ayurvedic healing traditions that support optimal detoxification, the AM Detox helps begin the detox process. Various diuretics move water to the liver and increase the solubility of toxins. Triphala, the combination of three plants: Emblica Officinalis, Terminalia bellerica, and Terminalia chebula, have been studied for their roles in gastrointestinal health. When used in conjunction, it is suggested this powerful trio promotes the growth of beneficial gut microbes Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, while inhibiting the growth of undesirable strains.

Things I’ve noticed after doing this detox when I started the IHP program:
– As someone who has had gallbladder concerns in the past (that I was able to resolve on my own), I always like to show my liver some extra support. I don’t have gallbladder pain at ALL anymore (I think quitting Beyond Meat helped with that, too), and after completely this the first time, I’ve continued to do this three to four times a year.
– The first time I did the detox, my energy was a little low the first day, but by the second afternoon, I felt amazing. I was energized, focused, my brain fog disappeared, my skin was glowing, and I felt great.
– Detox months are always an easy month for my cycle. I don’t have any cramps or PMS symptoms, and I’ve learned that the months I’m more strategic with my workouts, sleep, stress relief, and nutrition, my cycles are uneventful in the best way.
– It reset my tastebuds. When I have more sugar in my diet, things like fruit and salad start to taste muted to me. By bringing things back to basics, it reawakened my senses to what I like to food to taste like, and I could go back to fully enjoying my meals and being present at meal times.
– I don’t weigh myself regularly, but noticed that my clothes fit better after completing the detox. I felt less bloated and inflamed.
This detox is NOT for you IF:
– you currently have or are recovering from an eating disorder. Keep working on improving your relationship with food and your health, and know that I’m cheering for you and sending you my love and support.
– you are training for a strenuous event or need to maintain a super active lifestyle. For days 1-2 you want to take it easy (walks, stretching, gentle yoga, or nothing at all). If you’re not able to do that, you can do a modified version of the detox by having the smoothies for breakfast and lunch, and then a nutrient-dense dinner at night. Let me know if you have questions on how to do this!
– You have any health concerns that would prevent you from joining in.
****As always, check with your doctor before making and fitness or nutrition changes. Honor your body.
