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.

Is there anything I should do to prepare for the detox?

If you're looking to maximize the benefits of your upcoming detox, there are a few steps you can take to prepare your body. Check out my blog, which offers several helpful tips on how to get ready for your detox journey.

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. If you only commit to a 7-day, you will still benefit, but not NEARLY as much as if you commit to a 14 or 21-day.

Even if you don't experience significant changes immediately, you reduce your toxic load whenever you consume a DNS 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, 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, mold-free coffee is best. I also recommend drinking your coffee before noon so it doesn’t mess with your sleep.

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 detoxing!

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.

If this is your first time, opt for the 21-day detox, as it 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 helps kickstart your healing journey.

No matter where you’re at or what your goals are, this is an incredible place to start!

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, it is suggested to skip the fasting days and focus on maintaining adequate hydration by incorporating minerals and electrolytes into your diet. Drinking water infused with lemon or lime and adding a pinch of sea salt can maximize hydration levels.

To avoid weight loss, add spinach and blueberries to your smoothies. If eating becomes necessary during the initial two days, follow the instructions for days 3-7.

I’m in the middle of the detox and feeling INCREDIBLE! How do I maintain these results?

It's no surprise to me :) I'm delighted you're seeing fantastic results! I've prepared a comprehensive guide to sustain the momentum and keep moving forward!

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. Nothing bad will happen 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 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 TheraH20 pitcher.

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!

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

This may indicate weak digestion. To alleviate the issue, try consuming your shake gradually over 60 to 90-minute intervals. This should result in an improvement.

Children shouldn't undergo the detox program; however, there are several ways to provide them with nutritional support. Children can consume the Daily Nutritional Support shakes, please reach out to me for guidance on serving size.
