Eps 421: Before You Buy Another Detox Kit, Watch This

About this episode

In this episode, Bria Gadd discusses the dangers of detox kits for women in midlife and provides insights on how to prepare the body for detoxification.

Before you buy another detox kit, your body needs you to hear this. Every summer, I watch women get pulled into detoxes that promise to fix the bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain they’ve been struggling with for years. But what most women don’t realize is that detoxes can actually become dangerous for a depleted body, especially in midlife when your nervous system, gut, adrenals, and mineral reserves are already running on empty. In this episode, I break down why some detox protocols can leave women sleeping worse, feeling more anxious, exhausted, inflamed, and completely disconnected from their bodies. I also walk you through the signs your body may not actually be ready for detox and what support needs to happen first. If “healthy” routines keep making you feel worse, this episode may explain why. Tune in before you spend another dollar trying to force your body to heal harder.
