If Part 1 opened your eyes to what’s building up inside you—heavy metals, mold, PFAS, microplastics—this one’s about flushing it out.

Detoxing isn’t some green juice trend. It’s how your body survives modern life. From daily habits to deeper protocols like Kill. Bind. Sweat., the goal is simple: help your body do what it’s already trying to do—just better.

Why does it matter? Research shows that exposure to common environmental toxins can reduce quality-adjusted life expectancy by up to 10 years, and increase your risk of all-cause mortality by up to 40%. Source: The Lancet.

Here’s how to clear the junk, reset your system, and protect your healthspan.

Quick Take:
🟢 Cost: Low–moderate
🟢 Actionable: Highly
🟢 Impact: High

Here’s what we’ve got for you today:

Your liver, kidneys, gut, and lymphatic system are your natural detox team.
Support starts with nutrition, hydration, and movement - not magic powders.
Advanced protocols like sauna, binders, and gut repair can take things deeper.
Detox too aggressively, too soon? You’ll likely feel worse. Start slow, go smart.

Detox isn’t a wellness trend… it’s a built-in survival system. But today, that system’s under siege by an environment our bodies never evolved for.

Our detox systems—primarily the liver, kidneys, GI tract, lymphatics, and sweat glands—are like drainage pipes. If they’re congested or overburdened, toxins back up and recirculate.

The problem isn’t just exposure. It’s that our systems are being overloaded, which creates bottlenecks.

And those bottlenecks lead to symptoms: brain fog, fatigue, acne, hormone imbalances, poor sleep, and more.

The good news? Cleanses and protocols have their place - but only after you’ve opened the drainage first.

Feeling off? Don’t jump into an intense detox just yet.
Before you start mobilizing toxins, your body’s drainage systems—gut, liver, kidneys, lymph, skin—need to be firing properly. If they’re clogged, detox will backfire.

Start here. This is your foundation:

Step 1: Foundational Phase: Open Drainage First (Non Negotiable)

Before mobilizing toxins, support your detox organs:

Hydration: 2.5–3L/day with trace minerals or sea salt
Pooping daily: Hit 30g fiber daily, or use magnesium citrate (if needed)
Sweating: Infrared sauna, hot yoga, or walking in heat
Sleep: Crucial for brain detox via glymphatic system

Step 2. Detox Nutrition

Eat cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, arugula) to support liver Phase II
Get daily protein (esp. glycine, cysteine, glutamine) for glutathione production
Add dandelion root tea, milk thistle, or NAC for gentle liver support

Step 3. Add Binders (If Needed)

Used to trap mold, heavy metals, and bile-bound toxins:

Activated Charcoal – for general toxins
Chlorella – for metals
Pectin/fiber – for plastics & endocrine disruptors
Take away from meals/supplements to avoid nutrient binding

Step 4. Work With a Practitioner for Advanced Support

If you’re dealing with, or think you might be experiencing:

Mold illness
Heavy metal overload
Chronic fatigue or Lyme

Then extended fasting or structured protocols (like CellCore, Quicksilver, Dr. Jess MD’s 5R Framework or Dr Jess’s Kill. Bind. Sweat.) might be necessary.

Bonus: Where Juice Cleanses Can Help

Juice cleanses are one of the most overhyped detox tools out there, and often for good reason. They’ve earned a bad rap for promising quick fixes without addressing the root cause.

But used strategically, they can still play a supportive role.

A 1–2 day juice reset can give your digestion a break while flooding your body with antioxidants and micronutrients.
Stick to low-sugar, high-veg juices (think celery, beet, lemon, ginger).
Always pair with proper hydration, rest, and ideally some gentle binders like fiber or charcoal.

Juice doesn’t detox you—but when your drainage is open and the basics are in place, it can support your body’s natural process.

Detox is a long game. Start with daily drainage support, layer in gentle liver and gut support, and avoid jumping straight to "deep detox" before your body is ready.

Ready for something more advanced? If you’re feeling off, facing chronic symptoms or overexposed to a known toxic, Dr Jess’s Kill. Bind. Sweat. protocol is a strong starting framework - and we’ve broken it down into a 4-week plan you can follow.

To your clarity, vitality, and resilience,
