Functional Medicine Detoxes
Detox & Cleansing for Whole-Body Renewal
In today’s world, our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins—from environmental pollutants and processed foods to hidden infections and chronic stress. Over time, these burdens can accumulate and overwhelm the body’s natural detoxification pathways, leaving us fatigued, inflamed, and out of balance. A structured, science-based detox is not about deprivation—it’s about restoration. It’s a chance to reset your system, clear the blocks that interfere with healing, and return your body to its natural rhythm of vitality and flow.
The liver is your body’s leading detox powerhouse, processing everything from hormones to environmental chemicals. When it becomes congested, symptoms such as sluggish digestion, skin issues, brain fog, and low energy often appear. Supporting liver detoxification through proper nutrition, targeted supplements, and cleansing protocols helps restore balance and increase energy from the inside out.
Parasites are an often-overlooked root cause of inflammation and fatigue. These hidden invaders can disrupt digestion, deplete nutrients, and produce toxins that affect mood and immune function. A comprehensive parasite cleanse helps eliminate these organisms and their by-products, giving your gut and immune system the chance to thrive again.
The CBO (Candida and Bacterial Overgrowth) protocol targets microbial imbalance within the digestive tract. When bacteria or yeast grow beyond healthy levels, they can cause bloating, cravings, mood swings, and skin conditions. By rebalancing the gut microbiome, the CBO approach restores harmony to digestion, energy production, and immunity.
Mold toxicity and heavy metal accumulation are two of the most insidious, yet common, modern-day toxins. Mold exposure can disrupt the immune system and trigger brain fog, joint pain, and respiratory issues, while heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and aluminum can interfere with neurological and cellular function. Gentle, targeted cleansing strategies—using binders, antioxidants, and liver-supportive nutrients—help the body safely release these toxins and recover balance.
A proper detox program is not just a physical reset—it’s an energetic and emotional one as well. When the body is clear, the mind brightens, emotions stabilize, and the soul feels lighter. Cleansing invites renewal on every level, helping you return to your natural state of clarity, strength, and inner harmony. Whether you’re beginning your wellness journey or deepening your healing process, a guided detox can open the door to true, sustainable vitality.
Why Every Detox Should Begin with the Liver
Before beginning any series of detoxes—whether for parasites, mold, the gut, or heavy metals—it’s essential to start by cleansing and strengthening the liver. Think of the liver as your body’s master filter and central processing hub. Every toxin, hormone, medication, or chemical you encounter must pass through this organ for neutralization and elimination. If the liver is sluggish or congested, toxins released during a deeper cleanse have nowhere to go—they simply recirculate through the bloodstream, leading to symptoms like headaches, fatigue, nausea, or skin breakouts.
Beginning with a liver cleanse ensures that the body’s detox pathways are open, efficient, and ready. When the liver, gallbladder, lymphatic system, and bowels are functioning optimally, the body can safely process and expel the toxins that are released during subsequent detoxes. This foundational step prevents what many people mistake as “detox reactions,” which are often just signs that the liver is overwhelmed and unable to keep up.
A well-supported liver acts as a gateway to all other detox systems. It improves bile flow, enhances digestion, and promotes the healthy elimination of waste through the bowels. It also frees up the immune system and restores energy levels, giving you the strength and stability needed to move into deeper layers of cleansing. Without this preparation, parasite or heavy metal detoxes can feel intense, and mold protocols may trigger inflammatory responses—because the body simply isn’t ready to handle that volume of release.
By cleansing the liver first, you’re not just setting the stage for more effective detoxing—you’re creating a foundation for lasting wellness. A healthy liver supports hormonal balance, clear skin, stable mood, and steady energy. It regulates blood sugar, filters out excess estrogen, and ensures that every cell receives the nutrients it needs to repair and thrive. When you give your liver the care it deserves, every other system in your body begins to function with greater ease.
In short, the liver is the key that unlocks every other level of detoxification. Starting here ensures that when you move on to parasite, gut, mold, or heavy metal cleansing, your body is fully prepared to release toxins safely and efficiently—leading to deeper healing, smoother progress, and more radiant vitality. If you have never done a Liver detox, it is important to do a full 21-day functional medicine liver detox.
Detox Protocols
The 21-Liver detox works in a 3-phase process. Phase 1: Toxin breakdown: Key nutrients and third-party-tested herbal antioxidant supplements support enzymes that break down harmful fat-soluble toxins in the liver. Phase 2: Toxin Mobilization: Antioxidants, minerals, sulfur-based compounds & amino acids are used to transform the byproducts from phase 1 detoxification. Final Stage: Removal: Once toxins are converted from fat-soluble (phase 1) to water-soluble (phase 2), the waste can be safely removed from the body naturally.
How It Works:
The Functional Medicine Detox is built around:
• Nutrient-Dense Shakes & Supplements – Designed to flood the body with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Those four one-scoop shakes provide around 400–500 calories total, which gives your body enough nutrition to support detox pathways (especially the liver) while still keeping you in a gentle fasting, fat-burning, and autophagy state.
So while it’s not zero calories, it’s intentionally designed to provide the amino acids, antioxidants, and nutrients needed for Phase 1 and 2 liver detox — without spiking blood sugar or taking your body out of rest-and-repair mode.
• Functional Medicine Fasting – Supports autophagy and cellular repair. You take the support shake and supplements during the first two days of no food. You can modify these two days if needed. Your shakes are your meals for the first two days, but if you need food, it is suggested that you eat a light, nutritious lunch.
Approved Food List:
You will be provided an approved food list to follow during your protocol. Our top tip (and also simplest approach) is that it's best to stick to the approved foods list as closely as possible for best results. We are omitting any processed foods, especially during the first 21 days.
Processed foods, even those with minimal ingredients, are omitted to reduce the digestive load and ensure the body focuses on rebalancing rather than breaking down complex or processed items. These foods, while generally healthy, can still contain anti-nutrients, additives, or altered textures that may be harder for the gut to process. The protocol prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods in their natural state to maximize nutrient absorption and support nutrient function. This allows the body to reset and heal more effectively without potential irritants or unnecessary complexity.
Weight Loss:
You can lose anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds during your first detox. I personally lost 15 pounds of body fat. If you do not want to lose any weight, you can modify the approved food list and add more foods to your diet.
Benefits of the Functional Medicine Detox:
