88: Detox: Our Personal Journey & Practical Protocols P2

Part Two this week with Coaches Polly and Sam! As we discussed, your body is constantly working to process, filter, and eliminate countless substances that enter through food, air, and environmental exposure. But what happens when these natural detoxification systems become overwhelmed? That's where intentional cleansing practices come in – not as trendy wellness fads, but as powerful tools for maintaining and restoring health.

We're pulling back the curtain on our personal detox journeys – from marathon 21-day protocols and supervised Ayurvedic cleanses to simple one-day resets and everything in between. You'll hear about the uncomfortable but necessary "detox slump" that often hits around days 2-3 when your body begins releasing stored toxins, and why pushing through leads to remarkable clarity and energy on the other side. We dive deep into bowel health (yes, we talk about poop!), colonics, and why many digestive issues "labeled as IBS" might actually be undiagnosed autoimmune, SIBO or SIFO infections (like Coach Sam has right now)! 

The conversation explores fascinating connections between gut health and overall wellbeing through the vagus nerve – that critical communication pathway influencing everything from digestion to mental health. We share practical techniques for vagal toning through breathing, gargling, humming, and cold exposure, plus simple additions like fiber-rich foods, root vegetables, and fermented foods that support your gut microbiome.

Whether you're dealing with chronic health issues or simply curious about optimizing your wellbeing, this episode offers accessible entry points into the world of cleansing and detoxification. Start with a gentle one-day elimination of processed foods, sugar, alcohol, dairy, and gluten, or explore supervised protocols for deeper healing. Remember, this journey isn't about how your body looks, but how it feels – because you only get one precious body in this lifetime. What small step will you take today to honor yours?
