Don’t Skip This Step Before Your Cleanse:

Why Detox Comes First

Why I’m Doing a 7-Day Functional Detox Before My Parasite Cleanse (And Why You Might Want to Too)

If you’re feeling sluggish, bloated, foggy, or just not quite yourself -your body might be asking for a reset.

In today’s world, we’re exposed to thousands of toxins every single day, from the food we eat and the air we breathe to the products we put on our skin. Over time, these toxins build up, burdening our detox pathways and leaving us feeling less than our best.

That’s exactly why I’m starting with a 7-day EquiLife Functional Medicine Detox before diving into a deeper parasite cleanse. Think of it as clearing the plot of land before construction. Opening up drainage pathways so my body can safely eliminate whatever’s been hiding (like mold, heavy metals, and yes, parasites).

Why Functional Detoxing Matters

Created by Dr. Stephen Cabral, this detox is so much more than a juice cleanse or supplement kit. It’s a comprehensive liver-support protocol that nourishes the body while helping it release toxins that are clogging up your system.

Depending on your needs, there are 3 options:

• 7 Days: Ideal for a seasonal reset or to prep for a deeper protocol (like I’m doing)

• 14 Days: Great if you’re dealing with stubborn weight or chronic symptoms

• 21 Days: The gold standard for a full-body reset and deeper healing

Common Symptoms That May Signal You Need a Detox

You might be surprised how many everyday symptoms are tied to a sluggish liver. If you’re experiencing any of these, your body could be asking for support:

• Bloating, sluggish digestion

• Sugar cravings or carb crashes

• Hormonal acne or mood swings

• Weight that won’t budge

• Headaches, joint pain, or brain fog

• Poor sleep, low energy, or fatigue

• Skin flare-ups, body odor, or bad breath

The truth is, your liver has a hand in processing everything—from hormones and pesticides to alcohol and medications. When it’s overwhelmed, your entire body feels it.

What Makes This Detox Different

This isn’t about deprivation. It’s about deep nourishment and smart support. Here’s what makes this protocol stand out:

• Supports both phase 1 and phase 2 liver detoxification (so toxins don’t get stuck mid-process)

• Floods the body with key nutrients like amino acids, antioxidants, and liver-supportive herbs

• Resets blood sugar balance, helping reduce cravings and support fat burning

• Includes easily digestible protein and fiber to support energy and toxin elimination

Some Standout Ingredients

• Broccoli Seed Extract & Sulforaphane: Antioxidant-rich and amazing for estrogen metabolism

• NAC & Glutathione Precursors: Help your liver escort toxins out safely

• Milk Thistle & Dandelion Root: Classic liver-support herbs

• Alpha Lipoic Acid: Antioxidant powerhouse for mitochondrial support

• Methylated B Vitamins, Zinc, Magnesium, Selenium: Essential for detox pathways

• Organic Pea Protein & Functional Fibers: To bind and eliminate toxins from the gut

Why I’m Doing This Before a Parasite Cleanse

If your liver is overloaded, it can’t properly eliminate toxins released during a cleanse—and that’s when “die-off” symptoms hit. Headaches, fatigue, skin rashes, and irritability are all signs your drainage pathways aren’t ready.

By starting with a functional detox, I’m:

• Opening my liver and bile pathways

• Supporting lymphatic flow and kidney drainage

• Making sure my gut is primed and resilient before introducing parasite-clearing herbs

It’s the best way to prep the body for deep healing—and it sets the stage for better results with fewer uncomfortable side effects.
