What do we imagine detox to be? Unfortunately, many people see it as a difficult ordeal—one that supposedly removes some mysterious “toxins,” but in reality tortures the body and ruins your mood. And you’ll probably be surprised if I tell you that real detox is not an expensive starvation regimen that requires iron willpower and special products, but an easy reboot of your entire body through the simplest changes in your diet. You won’t need any chia seeds, amaranth, soda, or lemon water—and you definitely won’t have to sit on juices all week!
In my book, I explain what detox is from the perspective of evidence-based medicine, how the body works, and why at times it needs such a reboot. Most importantly, I provide a detailed step-by-step plan for personal detox and delicious recipes tailored to each season!
