hey-hey! Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re having a great week so far. The pilots are off work today (woohoo!), so I’m looking forward to F45 and brunch, and recording a podcast episode for this blog post.
I’m about to start another EquiLife 7-Day Detox and I’d love to have you join me. Now is the perfect time to power up and reset.
When you hear the word “detox,” you might immediately lose interest, and rightfully so.
A lot of detoxes are… well, bad.
They are not purposefully designed, although they are often marketed as products to help you lose weight quickly, and the main goal is to drink (usually sugary) liquids for a few days before getting back to life. I have done some juice cleanses in the past using popular brands. I usually don’t last very long and they usually leave me tired, tired and hungry. Even if I did lose a few pounds, they wouldn’t be gone for long (it’s all water weight anyway).
This one is completely different. I’ve done this before with amazing results and I’m excited to do it again. My body has been craving a little “reset.” I’ve been enjoying sugar and processed foods more often than usual lately, and I’ve noticed a decrease in the appearance of my skin and energy levels. It’s time for me to get back to my typical, sustainable habits with this little nudge.
If you’d like to join, I’d love to do so as a community! (It was awesome to see 250 friends do this and support each other along the way!) 
7-Day Dr. Cabral EquiLife Detox:
Here’s more information about the 7-day detox:
– This is a liver-based detox Helps reset your body, temporarily stops digesting greasy foods, and may help your body remove toxins we accumulate from the environment. It contains functional medicinal ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs to support Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification.
– Pay attention to nutrition. These include POWERHOUSE Daily Nutritional Support Powder (which I’ve been using in smoothies for the past few months and noticed a difference in how I feel when drinking this smoothie) as well as meal guides for the remaining meals. The goal is to not deplete your body of nutrients in the process.
– It may help with weight loss (although that’s not my focus), and Anti-aging and total body health.
——Only 7 days! When I first started working with a naturopath (in the old days! Like 2010), he put me on a month-long detox that was similar (but without the Ayurvedic supplements). It was much easier to do it for 7 days, and I feel like the extra nutritional support made my results better. (Only supplements, fruit, and smoothies are provided for the first two days, and on the third day, you can add nutrient-dense meals using their meal guide/template.)
6 main ingredients included in this plan:
1) N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), which can stimulate the production of glutathione in the body
2) Glutathione, an antioxidant that aids in healing and liver detoxification
3) Broccolidin, an antioxidant that can enhance the liver’s detoxification ability
4) Lipoic acid, another antioxidant that can improve detoxification
5) Triphala, a trio of Ayurvedic herbs that support detoxification and digestion
6) Vitamins and minerals to support the body and help bridge nutritional gaps
Each detox kit includes the following:
Daily nutritional support:
This one-stop shop for vitamins, minerals, proteins, electrolytes, and antioxidants is the heart and soul of Dr. Cabral’s Detox. Daily Nutritional Support contains 15 grams of vegan protein to provide your body with much-needed energy and nutrients every day while your body begins to eliminate harmful toxins.
FM Detox:
FM Detox leverages the latest research in functional medicine to provide the compounds needed to support both stages of liver detoxification. Essential amino acids, antioxidants, and botanical extracts like milk thistle help the body capture toxins and move them to the liver, where they can be metabolized and eliminated in phase two. Ingredients like dandelion root extract support bile production and help eliminate bile. As a diuretic, dandelion root increases the flow of water to the liver, thereby promoting the elimination of toxins in the urine.
Ayu detoxification:
AM Detox helps start the detoxification process by incorporating ancient Ayurvedic healing traditions that support optimal detoxification. Various diuretics divert water to the liver and increase the solubility of toxins. Trichosanthes is a combination of three plants: amla emblica, terminalia terminalia, and terminalia terminalia, which have been studied for their role in gastrointestinal health. When used together, this powerful trio promotes the growth of beneficial gut microbes Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while inhibiting the growth of undesirable strains.

When I started the IHP program, things I noticed after doing the detox:
– As someone who has had gallbladder issues in the past (I was able to resolve them on my own), I always like to give my liver a little extra support. I no longer have gallbladder pain (I think quitting Beyond Meat helped that too) and after a successful first detox, I know I will be incorporating it into my daily routine at least twice a year.
– My energy was a little low on the first day, but by the afternoon of the second day, I feel great. I have more energy and focus, the brain fog is gone, my skin is glowing and I feel great.
– It’s been a very easy month for my cycle. I don’t have any cramps or PMS symptoms, and I’ve learned that in the months when I’m more strategic about exercise, sleep, stress relief, and nutrition, my cycles are uneventful in the best way possible.
– It reset my taste buds. As I included more sugar in my diet, foods like fruit and salad began to taste mellower. By getting everything back to basics, it reawakened my sense of food flavor and I could fully enjoy my meals again and be present at meal time.
– I don’t weigh myself regularly but have noticed that my clothes fit better after a complete detox. I feel less bloated and inflamed.
This detox is not suitable for you if:
– You currently have an eating disorder or are recovering from an eating disorder. Keep working on improving your relationship with food and health, and know that I am cheering you on and sending you my love and support.
– You are training for a strenuous event or need to maintain a super active lifestyle. On days 1-2, you need to relax (walk, stretch, gentle yoga, or do nothing). If you’re unable to do this, you can perform a modified detox by eating smoothies for breakfast and lunch, followed by a nutritious dinner in the evening. If you have questions about how to do this, please let me know!
– You have any health problems that would prevent you from joining.
****As always, consult your doctor before making fitness or nutritional changes. Respect your body.
