Hey hey! Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re enjoying the week so far. The Pilot isn’t working today (wahoo!), so I’m looking forward to F45 and having lunch together, and also recording a podcast episode for this blog post.
I’m about to move on to another round of the EquiLife 7 Day Detox, and I’d love to invite you to join the fun. Now is the perfect time for a little boost and reset.
When you hear the word “detox,” you may immediately become discouraged, and rightly so.
Many detoxes are… well, terrible.
They are not designed for one purpose, although they are often marketed as products to help you lose weight quickly, and the main goal is to drink liquids (often sugary) for a few days before getting back to your life. I’ve done a few juice cleanses with popular brands in the past. It usually didn’t last long and usually left me exhausted, drained and hungry. And even if I did manage to lose a few pounds, they never stayed off for long (it was all water weight anyway).
This one is completely different. I’ve done it before with amazing results and I’m excited to do it again. My body has been craving a bit of a “reset.” I’ve been indulging in sugar and processed foods more often than usual lately and have noticed a drop in the appearance of my skin and my energy levels. It’s time to start my journey back to my typical, sustainable habits with this little boost.
I’d love to do this as a community if you want to join! (It would be amazing to see 250 friends doing this and supporting each other along the way!) 
Dr. Cabral EquiLife 7-Day Detox:
Here’s more about it 7 day detox:
– It is a liver-based detoxifier. to help reset your body, give you a break from digesting heavy foods, and potentially help your body eliminate toxins we accumulate in our environment. Includes functional medicine ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs to support liver detoxification in phases 1 and 2.
– It is focused on nutrition.. Includes POWERHOUSE Daily Nutritional Support Powder (which I have used in my shakes for the past few months and I notice a difference in how I feel when I drink this shake) and guidelines for the remaining meals. The goal is NOT for your body to run out of nutrients during the process.
– Can potentially help with weight loss. (although that’s not an approach for me), along with anti-aging and well-being of the whole body.
– It’s only 7 days! When I started working with a naturopath (back in the day! It was like 2010), he had me do a month-long detox that had a similar format (but didn’t include Ayurvedic supplements). It’s much easier to do it for 7 days and I feel like my results were even better thanks to the extra nutritional support. (The first two days are just supplements, fruits, and smoothies, and on day 3, add nutrient-dense meals following your meal guide/template.)
The 6 main ingredients that are included in the program:
1) N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), which can stimulate the production of glutathione in the body.
2) Glutathione, which is an antioxidant that can aid in liver healing and detoxification.
3) Broccophane, an antioxidant that can improve the liver’s detoxification ability.
4) Alpha Lipoic Acid, another antioxidant that can improve detoxification
5) Triphala, a trifecta of Ayurvedic herbs that can support detoxification and digestion.
6) Vitamins and minerals, to support the body and help close nutrient 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 Detox. With 15 grams of vegan protein, Daily Nutritional Support provides your body with much-needed energy and nutrition daily as your body begins to eliminate harmful toxins.
FM Detox:
Using the latest research in Functional Medicine, FM Detox provides the compounds necessary to support both phases of liver detoxification. Essential amino acids, antioxidants, and botanical extracts like milk thistle help the body capture and move toxins to the liver, where they can be metabolized and eliminated during phase two. Ingredients such as dandelion root extract promote bile production, which aids in elimination. As a diuretic, dandelion root increases water supply to the liver, making it easier to eliminate toxins in the urine.
AYU Detox:
By incorporating ancient Ayurvedic healing traditions that support optimal detoxification, AM Detox helps begin the detoxification process. Various diuretics transport water to the liver and increase the solubility of toxins. Triphala, the combination of three plants: Emblica Officinalis, Terminalia bellerica and Terminalia chebula, has been studied for its role in gastrointestinal health. When used together, this powerful trio is suggested to promote the growth of beneficial gut microbes Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, while inhibiting the growth of undesirable strains.

Things I noticed after doing this detox when I started the IHP program:
– As someone who has had gallbladder issues in the past (which I was able to resolve on my own), I always like to show my liver some extra support. I no longer have any gallbladder pain (I think quitting Beyond Meat helped with that too) and after a successful first detox, I know I’ll be incorporating this into my routine at least twice a year.
– My energy was a little low the first day, but by the second afternoon, I felt incredible. I was full of energy, focused, my brain fog disappeared, my skin glowed and I felt great.
– It was a very easy month for my cycle. I had no cramps or PMS symptoms, and I learned that in the months when I am most strategic with my workouts, sleep, stress relief, and nutrition, my cycles are as uneventful as they can be.
– Reset my taste buds. When I have more sugar in my diet, things like fruit and salad start to taste dull to me. By getting back to basics, I awakened my senses to what food tastes like and I was able to fully enjoy my meals and be present at mealtime again.
– I don’t weigh myself regularly, but I noticed that my clothes fit better after the complete detox. I felt less swollen and inflamed.
This detox is NOT for you IF:
– currently have or are recovering from an eating disorder. Please continue to work on improving your relationship with food and your health, and know that I encourage you and send you my love and support.
– you are training for a strenuous event or need to maintain a super active lifestyle. During days 1 and 2 you’ll want to take it easy (walking, stretching, gentle yoga, or nothing at all). If you can’t do that, you can do a modified version of the detox by having smoothies for breakfast and lunch, and then a nutrient-dense dinner in the evening. Let me know if you have questions about how to do this!
– You have a health problem that would prevent you from participating.
****As always, consult with your doctor before making changes to your fitness or nutrition. Honor your body.
