The Autoimmune RESET
Could Your Detox Protocol Be Doing More Harm Than Good?
Could Your Detox Protocol Be Doing More Harm Than Good?
Detoxing is everywhere – from green juices to liver cleanses – but could your detox routine be making your autoimmune symptoms worse?
In this episode, VJ Hamilton breaks down the truth about detoxification and what most people get wrong, especially when it comes to hormone balance, gut health, and autoimmune flares. If you've ever felt worse after trying to “cleanse,” this is the episode you need.
You’ll learn:
✔ How your body’s detox pathways really work (Phase 1, 2, and 3)
✔ Why supporting your liver, bile flow, and gut is non-negotiable for autoimmune health
✔ The impact of internal toxins like excess oestrogen, cortisol, and thyroid hormone metabolites
✔ How signs like skin breakouts, fatigue, and brain fog might be linked to sluggish detox
✔ The truth about green tea, broccoli sprouts, binders – and why more isn’t always better
Plus, VJ introduces The Spring Juice RESET – designed specifically for those with autoimmunity who want to support detox gently and effectively, without triggering a flare.
