Detox Your Organs to Stay Above the Baseline

Focusing on Principle #7: Minimsing Use of Chemicals

Modern life throws a lot at us—pollutants in the air, chemicals in our food and water, and stressors from every angle. These toxins can pile up and mess with our body’s systems, leading to fatigue, weakened immunity, and even chronic illnesses.

While we can’t live in a bubble, we can take action to support our body’s natural detox processes. Here’s how you can detox each organ and stay above the baseline for great health.

1. Fuel Up with the Right Foods

Step one in any detox is a solid, healthy diet. Ditch the wheat, soy, dairy, gluten, processed foods, fried foods, and GMOs. These all contribute to inflammation, which is your immune system’s version of “red alert.” Instead, eat organic, nutrient-dense foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, and omega-3-rich options. Steer clear of hydrogenated oils, refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, caffeine, and alcohol. A clean, high-quality fuel helps your body run efficiently and flush out the junk.

2. Sweat Out Toxins and Cleanse the Skin

Your skin is your body’s largest organ and it’s exposed to all sorts of environmental nasties. Many skincare products contain parabens and endocrine disruptors that can throw your hormones out of whack. To help your skin detox, break a sweat regularly—exercise, saunas, hot yoga, and dry brushing all help.

The sweat you produce isn’t just a sign you’re working hard; it’s your body’s way of taking out the trash

3. Move that Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is your body’s drainage network. It helps remove waste and toxins, but it doesn’t have a built-in pump like the heart.

To keep things flowing, get moving!

Regular exercise, walking, deep breathing, dry brushing, rebounding, and even lymphatic massages can all give your lymphatic system the boost it needs to do its job well.

4. Support Your Kidneys

Your kidneys are the body’s natural filtration system. Help them out with herbs like horsetail, ginger, and black cherry concentrate. Drink plenty of lemon water and consider magnesium supplements or Epsom salt baths to support kidney function.

5. Flush Out the Colon

A healthy colon is key to overall detox. Consider a coffee enema to cleanse both the colon and the liver, and stay hydrated with clean, distilled water. Foods like aloe vera, coconut kefir, ginger, and garlic can help keep things moving and support colon health. Bentonite clay and activated charcoal can also help bind and remove toxins.

6. Supercharge Liver Function

Your liver is the body’s detox powerhouse. Support it with detoxifying herbs like dandelion root, burdock root, milk thistle, and turmeric. Eating fermented foods and incorporating castor oil or Tulsi tea into your routine can further enhance liver health and toxin elimination.

7. Tackle Parasites Naturally

Parasites are a stealthy threat to health. Natural remedies like black walnut hull, wormwood, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, coconut oil, psyllium husks, and bentonite clay are your best defense against these unwanted guests. Coffee enemas can also be helpful here.

8. Remove Heavy Metals

Heavy metals like lead and mercury can build up in the body over time. Natural chelators like chlorella and cilantro help bind and remove these metals. High-sulfur foods like cabbage, onions, and garlic are excellent, too. Adding zeolite clay or activated charcoal can provide extra support in drawing out these heavy metals.

The Takeaway

Staying above the baseline means making consistent, conscious choices that help your body do what it does best: detox and thrive. Remember, detox is not just about a one-time cleanse; it’s about daily habits that keep your organs in peak condition. Your body is an incredible machine—let’s keep it running clean and strong!
