Phase 1-2-3 Functional Detox Program
If you’re feeling sluggish, inflamed, foggy, or bloated, it’s time for a detox!
Our annual Phase 1-2-3 Functional Detox Program is a safe and effective way to give your body a fresh start. This 28-day medically supervised program is designed to support the three detox phases performed by your liver, gallbladder, and intestines. This program will enhance your body’s natural detoxification processes and refresh and renew these vital detox organs. You can find more information about the three detox phases in my article A Functional Medicine Guide to Detox Phases 1, 2, and 3.
This group detox program takes place annually in January and includes everything you need:
- All the supplements and detox shake mixes required for the 28 days.
- A gentle diet and lifestyle guide.
- Access to a private Slack group where you can learn more, ask questions, and get support.
- Invitations to three Zoom meetings for education and questions.
Why is a joint liver-gut detox program important?
Including both the liver and the gut in a detox program is crucial because they are equally important. Your liver transforms toxins (through phase 1 and 2) into waste products. Then, it packages this waste into your bile which is stored in your gallbladder. When you eat fat, your gallbladder releases the toxic-laden bile into your gut. Bile is transported through your intestines and eliminated through your stool (phase 3). It’s essential to have a well-functioning G.I. tract and healthy stool before starting a liver cleanse. So in this program, we start with the gut (phase 3) and prime it before activating the liver.
Here’s how it works:
- In the first 14 days, we rebalance the gut microbiome with supplements while we clean up the diet.
- During the second 14 days, we incorporate shakes and supplement packets designed to support phase 1 and 2 liver detox.
- Throughout the 28 days we chat, educate, and give support on a private Slack group.
- We meet on Zoom three times over the course of the 28 days for live questions, support, and education.
After completing the 28-day program, our participants experience significant positive outcomes. These include lower weight and bloat, and better mood, energy, sleep, digestion, stool quality, and skin. Our participants also report reduced inflammation and cravings, and improved exercise performance and recovery. These results are truly remarkable and speak to the effectiveness of this program.
The dietary and lifestyle components of this functional detox program
Our dietary and lifestyle components are easy to follow and not extreme. We provide an easy-to-follow diet and lifestyle guide that we discuss in the online group. The program is gentle, and you can easily do it during regular activities. It’s a time to slow down, eat clean food, and nourish yourself.
