Chapter 6: Detox as Self-Love
Recipe 6: Golden Milk Smoothie with Sneaky Greens
Detox has become a dirty word, associated with deprivation and punishment, but real detoxification is the most loving thing you can do for your body. Every day, your liver processes thousands of chemicals, your kidneys filter your blood, your lymphatic system clears cellular waste—all without your conscious effort. These organs are your allies, not your enemies, and they perform miracles when you give them what they need: bitter herbs that stimulate bile flow, antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, fiber that binds toxins for elimination. True detox isn't about harsh cleanses or extreme restrictions—it's about gently supporting the elegant systems your body has already designed for healing and renewal. It's about removing the barriers to your natural vitality and letting your innate wisdom shine through.
