A “Detox” by Nutritionists who are Anti-Diet?
Yes, a detox by an anti-diet Dietitian and Health Coach. A detox is NOT about weight loss, body size or shape. It’s about your insides that matter most. (But yes, this change can radiate outward!)
Try our four-week nourishment protocol.
Why would anyone do something like this?!
In short, to feel better! Or in some cases, to explore a different way of eating and learning about yourself. And as humans in a modern world, we have increasing environmental exposure to toxic substances. Yes, your body has a detoxification system built to eliminate harmful substances. However, this system can become taxed and sluggish over time. Many eastern healing practices like Ayuveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine participate in detox rituals and ceremonies to help support the body in finding balance. Functional Medicine doctors in the U.S. also believe that there’s many benefits to supporting your liver, kidney, and lymph system with a targeted protocol of nutrient dense whole foods, supplements, and lifestyle practices.
We personally also believe in the benefits of this program as we have practiced and experienced them ourselves. Not all detoxes are the same. We have found many to be too restrictive or just plain ineffective. We do this program again and again because of it’s doable nature and for the real benefits we and our clients have experienced. It’s also not for everyone and that’s okay.
What are the benefits of a detox?:
Support your metabolic health (cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar)
Reduce inflammation, bloating, redness, and puffiness
Support your immune system
Balance your blood sugar (improve energy, mood, and hormones)
Explore emotional eating patterns (Ready to practice not eating your feelings?)
Support your body's natural detox systems (endocrine, lymph, and liver)
Deeply nourish your body with food and targeted high quality supplements
Improve mental clarity and physical endurance
Embrace periods of rest and relaxation
Create new habits that create ongoing results
Experience detox magic! Everyone’s experience is unique and there’s always something new to learn.
What can I expect if I sign-up for detox?
The program is organized into four different weeks. Each week is a little different. Week’s 1 and 4 are the most flexible. We do take breaks from certain foods and substances but the plan involves eating full meals and smoothies. (You may be bored but you should not be starving!) You are welcome to nourish your body anytime hunger strikes.
We do include supplements which you can read more about below.
There is also room to modify your program to your needs. Just ask us and we can help you customize your plan.

What people are saying…
“I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this program (I NEVER thought I’d write that sentence). I have learned so much and gained A LOT of confidence in myself and my choices. You both have really taught me how to change my life, and I’m incredibly grateful. I even had fun doing it!”
“It wasn’t as hard as I anticipated and I’m loving the results. I have more awareness of my behavior and how different foods make me feel.””
“It has been a couple months since I finished the detox and I am very happy that I actually reset my habits. I gained awareness of the foods that aggravate my digestive system, so I steer clear of them or enjoy them in moderation. I drink a lot more water now and I think that is a direct result of the cleanse. I am motivated to continue eating cleaner because I feel better. ”
“I host and participate in the program annually (when possible). It’s a gentle reset that helps me focus on my health while reinforcing actions that feel good to my body. Each round finds me in a new phase of life and offers a variety of great results and I always feel renewed. I also love to eat so I like that I’m not forced to fast or do anything intense. My body really feels supported.”
About the Supplements
Generally we believe less is more when it comes to supplements. However, like spring cleaning or the changes of the season, we love a tailored protocol to support everything that needs supporting. This reset is like a power up of nutrients. We focus a lot on eating an abundance of nourishing food and we enhance that with our favorite supplements from Apex Energetics. We order these directly from Apex at cost and have them shipped to your door. Supplements subject to change based on availability or at Beth’s discretion but are always swapped with something of equal or better value.
ClearVite: uses an advanced formulation containing collagen-based protein and targeted amino acids that are intended to support the intestines, liver detoxication, and sugar metabolism. (We have a plant-based version available as well for those who want a vegan option)
OmegaCo3™ is a unique formulation that delivers 950 mg of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids in every tablespoon. This product is prepared using an advanced emulsification process which creates micronized structures that increase the surface-to-volume ratio of particles to make them more available to enzymatic action.* To optimize absorption, fatty acid metabolism, and overall system support, this formulation is specially emulsified, and vitamin and mineral cofactors and the amino acid taurine are added.
Trizomal™ Glutathione is a breakthrough new approach to glutathione supplementation. It features, for the first time in a liposomal solution, S-acetyl L-glutathione (SAG), combined with reduced glutathione (GSH), and N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC). This formulation utilizes three ways to support glutathione—intracellular with SAG, intracellular biosynthesis with NAC, and extra/intracellular (systemic) support with GSH.* Moreover, this formula provides a double layer of protection for the glutathione molecule (SAG), with acetylation and liposomes, to further support intracellular bioavailability.
Probiotic - Strengtia™ is a synbiotic formula designed to fortify the intestinal microbial environment with targeted probiotics, such as the widely researched and clinically proven DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus, and the prebiotic arabinogalactan.* This advanced formula combines Saccharomyces boulardii and bacterial strains that are specially selected for their stability and viability—including resistance to stomach acid—and for their complementary and diverse activities
Lymph & Kidney Support are homeopathic drops designed to support circulation, lymphatic drainage and kidney function. (These are alcohol based and not suitable for someone in recovery. Alternatives are available!)
What else should I know?
The food: We will eat! This is NOT a juice cleanse or a diet! There will be some breaks from certain foods with a new varied phase each week. We will take a break from caffeine, alcohol, wheat, beef, pork, dairy, and added sugar. We will reduce nuts/seeds, eggs, and legumes but they are included. We will focus on consuming mostly veggies, fruit, chicken, fish, starchy veggies, rice and high quality fats.
You will get weekly sample meal plans with lots of recipe ideas. A grocery list will be sent to you before the program starts so you will be set up for success.
Everything is online! You’ll get the plans, videos and group chat through a secure portal. Do it all on your own time from anywhere in the US (for shipping purposes).

Okay but How is this Not a Diet?
We’re glad you asked. What are “Anti-Diet” practitioners doing offering something called a “detox?” We did a full podcast episode on this called, “Are Cleanses and Detoxes Part of Diet Culture?” We strongly suggest you give it a listen. While this is a different way of eating for a limited amount of time, the intention is not for weight loss. We guide you into the process slowly and we’ll guide you back out into the real world too. You don’t have to adhere to it at 100% to get benefits. It’s not about perfection but deciding to show up for yourself in a different way that can feel real good when done with a healthy mind-set. This is NOT for everyone and we suggest speaking with us prior to signing up to see if this is right for you.
*Disclaimer: Everyone's experience and results vary because every body is different. We do not provide medical advice and we do not diagnose.
