5 Signs Your Detox Pathways Need More Support (Not More Pressure)
If you’ve ever tried to “do all the right things” for detox…and felt worse, this is for you. Detox is such a personal, sometimes polarizing topic. But remember - our bodies are AUTOMATICALLY designed to do it! We detox ALL the time without having to think about it or pressure our body further about it. But sometimes, our bodies need a little extra help or support to optimize the detox systems we were born with. 

One of the biggest mistakes I see is this:
👉 Trying to push detox instead of supporting it.

Like I said above, your body already knows how to detox. The question is—can it keep up? And how do you know if your body might need a little extra "oomph" to help promote healthy, steady detox?

Here are 5 signs your detox pathways may need more support:

1. You feel worse when starting new supplements.
Fatigue, headaches, brain fog—this can be a sign your body is overwhelmed, not healing faster.

2. Your energy is inconsistent.
Good days followed by crashes often point to capacity issues.

3. Brain fog comes and goes.
Especially after adding something “supportive.”

4. You feel easily overwhelmed.
Physically and mentally—your nervous system plays a huge role here.

5. You’ve tried multiple things, but progress feels slow.
This is often a prioritization problem—not a motivation problem.


6. You're not peeing, pooping, & sweating consistently and regularly. And/or you're puffy/swollen often.
These are some of the primary detox pathways we are born with - urination, bowel movements, sweat, and lymphatic flow. If any of these are stagnant or under-optimized, detox ability will be impacted.

✨ Detox should feel supportive, not depleting.

Instead of asking, “What should I add?” or "How much more can my body handle to detox faster/better?" Try asking:
👉 “What does my body need in order to handle more right now?”
OR
👉 “What signs is my body giving me that need support in order for me to facilitate detox right now?”

That shift alone can change everything.

Meet Adele

 
          Half my lifetime ago I was expecting to be permanently disabled or even dead at a young age unless I found a way back to hope and health. As a result of a mystery illness, I was nearly bed-ridden as a teenager. Sometimes I had to CRAWL up the 7 steps to my bedroom to get to bed because I couldn’t walk that far. I HAD to nap every single day. I was in *constant* burning, aching pain throughout my body and experienced exhaustion and brain fog so bad I could barely communicate. I had quit all sports, babysitting and other jobs. My ambitions, successes, sense of self, and LIFE were slipping through my fingers. I had been misdiagnosed with autoimmune conditions for years only to finally discover that Lyme disease and co-infections were the primary culprit of my medical mysteries. At the time of my diagnosis, I was spiraling into depression, helplessness, and hopelessness.  I had no idea where this journey would take me, but I could not see a light at the end of it, and that was just plain scary.
 
          My mom took me to many doctors, but none specialized in Lyme and tick borne illnesses. They all treated the symptoms I was having as best as they could, but I was still getting slowly worse, or having side effects from medications I was being put on. So my mom and I sought alternative options out of desperation. Homeopathy, diet changes, proper supplements, and rest finally started to lead me into healing and the fog started to lift. During that time, myofascial release from a certified massage therapist was one of the most helpful modalities I tried. She used essential oils too, and that was officially my first introduction to their power. All of these alternative options helped me survive, start to thrive, and begin the next leg of my journey: becoming a nurse. I thrived in a career that combined science, research, and helping others through their suffering and health goals. In my young adult years, I finally had the opportunity to continue my treatment and health journey with a Lyme specialist, which has helped me heal more fully than I ever would have thought possible 10yrs ago. 

          I knew that as I got married, started a family, and was working on healing my body, I had some big goals: 1) to be there for my family and to be able to care for them fully and 2) to have a non-toxic home and life in order to live our best lives. My cousin shared with me some of her journey, which had similarities to my own. She was using some things I was already curious about, including essential oils and specialized supplements. I was HOOKED after the first sample I tried! I could now clearly visualize the next steps of my healing journey - hope had returned!
              
          Now, I have endless hope. I can LIVE LIFE. This is the healthiest I’ve truly been since about age 14 and I’m thriving! I’ve been able to advocate for my own 4 babies, 3 of whom have ended up with Lyme too. I’m dedicated to using my nursing background and love of education in combination with appreciation for functional medicine and alternative therapies to help everyone I can. My hope is renewed. I am empowered and equipped. I’m enjoying and embracing the journey and want to help YOU to be able to have all of that too!
