Part 5 of 6 · How I Got Here

Reset without pain.

Detox isn’t punishment. It’s silence. You’re not “cleansing” toxins. You’re removing spikes, noise, and confusion. You give your body a week where nothing screams.

When there’s no chaos, hunger finally behaves.

What detox actually means

Not juices. Not cayenne shots. Not starvation. Real detox is metabolic calm: protein, water, steady digestion, predictable meals.

You don’t fight your cravings here. You simply stop feeding them.

Remove noise, not calories

No sugar blasts. No fake protein snacks. No liquid dessert coffees. No sauces engineered in factories.

You’re not deleting food groups. You’re deleting interruptions to your nervous system.

Hydration is chemistry, not a trend

Water isn’t “cleansing” anything. It lets the kidneys and liver do their job. Salt keeps the electrical system stable.

Electrolytes aren’t supplements. They are language your cells understand.

The food is boring — on purpose

Eggs. Chicken thighs. Fish. Greek yogurt. Lentils. Broccoli. Potatoes. Nothing that screams at your brain.

Your meals stop performing. They start working.

Hormones stop screaming

Ghrelin drops. Cortisol relaxes. Leptin rises. Your brain stops begging for rescue meals.

You aren’t suddenly disciplined. You’re just no longer in crisis.

Day 7 feels like waking up

Your belly is quiet. Your sleep is deeper. Your brain isn’t planning snacks at midnight.

You don’t crave pizza because pizza stopped controlling you.

Detox isn’t a cleanse. It’s the moment your body remembers how to speak.

When the noise is gone, food becomes simple again.
