does this actually detox you?
Hi Reader,
Here's a little laugh for your Thursday morning:
Now, don't get me wrong- I'm a BIG fan of organic, minimal fruit/low sugar vegetable juices especially if you can't get the volume of vegetables that your body could benefit from(ex: if you have digestive issues). Which the estimated need for plant foods to combat inflammation & chronic disease is about 9-13 servings a day- nothing I expect most people to be able to achieve!
And sure, green juice can be helpful in getting you some detoxifying nutrients from vegetables, but comprehensive detoxification involves A LOT more than that - much to the Kardashians' dismay...
Here are just a few more general things we need to consider to amplify your body's ability to detox efficiently:
- Fasting (personalized & 12-13 hrs at night vs excessively)
- Rainbow foods (fiber, nutrients)
- Exercise/sweat
- Sleep
- Hydration
- Gut health
- Reduce stressors
- Nutrient levels
- Support liver (minding genetics)
... or my little acronym for you to remember this is FRESH GRNS :)
In health,
Christina Stapke, RDN, CD
PS-Stay tuned for my mini detox program(short & self guided) launching in the next couple weeks if you want strategies on how to apply these in a feasible way!

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I wanted to share a story with you about something I discovered a couple years ago. In 2022 I ran my first in depth genomic profile on myself(outside of a 23&me), and I'm so grateful I did. I was feeling a lot better a that time in general, but I had been dealing with chronic shoulder dislocations & hyper-mobility that resulted in needing a surgery because it basically was happening once a month. I was also still dealing with higher thyroid antibodies(hashimoto's) and...
Hi Reader, I hope you are well! If you've been getting my emails recently, you've been hearing a lot about genomics/genetics from me! As I've been applying genomics more in depth over the past year+ it's really felt like the missing piece for so many of my clients. If you're curious about personalizing your plan even more and understanding how to make your genes work better with your food, supplement and lifestyle habits, I'm glad you opened this email! :) Like I mentioned in a previous...
