Detox: Why You Might Feel Worse Before You Feel Better
About this episode
Sharissa Bradley discusses the uncomfortable aspects of detoxing and offers insights on natural detoxification methods.
In this episode of the Tea Time Podcast, Sharissa Bradley continues the *Journey Back to Health* series with **Chapter 13: Detox**. Detox is often viewed as something that should make us feel instantly better — more energy, clearer thinking, and improved stamina. But Sharissa explains that detox doesn't always feel good in the beginning. In fact, it can feel uncomfortable and discouraging because the body is releasing stored toxins that were previously held inside cells. Sharissa shares how the body naturally detoxifies through sweat, breathing, bowel movements, and urination. She cautions against fast cleanses that overwhelm the system and instead encourages a slow, supportive approach that removes offending foods and reduces toxin exposure. This episode also introduces **Herring's Law of the Cure**, explaining how healing may involve temporarily re-experiencing symptoms before improvement occurs. Sharissa offers powerful reflection prompts designed to help listeners stay motivated when detox feels difficult. This episode reflects lived experience and personal research, not medical advice. --- ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:13 Chapter 13: Detox 01:00 Why detox can feel worse first…
