There’s doing “a thing” and then there’s a lifestyle.
Have you ever cleaned and organized your house, organized a junk drawer or closet, only to find it completely unorganized and overflowing (AGAIN !) …..in a matter of weeks? It feels very defeating, doesn’t it?
What if you cleaned and decluttered your house, but instead just moved all the debris, junk, and extra stuff in your bedroom instead of giving it to Goodwill or sending it to the trash heap?
…. or put it all in your bathtub and shower?
….. or put it all in the kitchen?
You get the point here by now I’m sure.
Cleanses for the body are no different. If you aren’t eliminating the junk and debris (kicking it to the curb), it’s just being relocated within the, and that can cause unpleasant issues.
No cleanse should be attempted until your detox pathways are ready to receive new junk, and the liver (especially the liver!) feels loved and supported. The liver does about 500 things for us (no joke!), so if it’s not able to function properly, you can imagine the trickle-down effect elsewhere in the body.
Detoxzyme was a YL freebie last month and this is a great time to put it to good use. In addition to helping us better digest foods we eat, it also helps in opening the gallbladder duct and cleansing the liver…. bonus points for creating an inhospitable environment for candida, yeast, and parasites. (As we clean house, we don’t want to be encouraging messing it all up again…. right? )
JuvaTone probably isn’t on your daily favorite list. Lovin’ on the liver often gets overlooked (kinda like how often do you do a deep cleaning of the inside of your icky garbage can? ). Juvatone supports healthy liver function, and it also helps with the elimination of that which needs kicking to the curb.
Clues your Liver might need some lovin’ especially if you are thinking about a cleanse in your future:
poop that is a weird color (lighter or darker than normal)
Constipation: if you aren’t having at least one bowel movement a day, you can most assuredly assume your liver is stressed. Start here! ….. get your bowels moving friend. I have LOTS of information in previous posts on how to improve bowel performance.
rashes, acne, and other skin conditions
heartburn/reflux
physical or mental fatigue
headaches
digestive disturbances
A healthy lifestyle means you have a system in place to help you both reach and keep your goals. Use your tools! I don’t ever do any sort of cleansing without first giving my liver VIP TLC beforehand.

PS: Have you ever done a cleanse? Any sort whatsoever? If so, what kind? I’m ramping up for a full moon parasite cleanse later this month. Don’t judge me… join me. Eight out of ten of you are probably wormy too .
