Week 1 of 3 of my 21 day liver detox is complete.
People ask me why I do this.
The liver performs more than 500 vital functions in the body. These include filtering blood, metabolizing nutrients, storing vitamins and minerals, detoxification, immune support, synthesis of proteins and hormones!
Personally I knew I needed it because I was breaking out and the skin is a window into what was going on inside. My hormones were a little off. I felt anxious when I didn’t need to and my energy could have been better. For me that meant I needed to change something. I feel I eat clean but once I start a detox I realize I have so many more processed things than I would like. Gluten free English muffins, protein bars, protein shakes, beef sticks, and cheese start to add up and can inflame me.
I STRUGGLE with the fast days and that’s because my blood sugar is super off. I need to work on cutting coffee and my caffeine intake to help blood sugar regulation. I knew I needed more of a week than this because I could tell I was really starting to detox in day 6. Tomorrow is day one no coffee and fasting. The thought of it makes me want to cry but I want to be able to do hard things 😜 and doing Bible study twice a week and church certainly helps 🙏🏻
I was blessed to schedule some self care during the fast days with and Heather for an IV. They really helped! Day three of the fast my eye was as red as a tomato. I didn’t have pink eye and thought I lost my contact in my eye, it might have been scratched or my bodies weird way of forcing out toxins who knows.
And yes I totally workout on the detox but I do it around shakes and meals and listen to my body. I did one clean for 100 pounds for the first time. Thanks for the picture!
Here’s to another week of trying to build mental strength and eating lots of vegetables 🥕
