Detox Culture Is Lying to You: Why Cleanses Can Make Women Worse (and What to Do Instead) with Eva Hooft
Episode Description
Modern motherhood can make "detox" feel like the answer—especially when you're exhausted and convinced you just need the right protocol to get your body back. Eva Hooft unpacks why the do-more, cleanse-harder mindset can keep women stuck, and how real healing starts with safety, not force.
We talk detox through a nervous system + mineral lens: how stress shuts down digestion and drainage, why aggressive "pulling" can backfire when you're depleted, and what it looks like to rebuild your terrain with simple, foundational support.
We also get real about the emotional side—when wellness becomes obsession, why slowing down can be the most powerful biohack, and how simplicity helps you get your energy and resilience back for the long game.
Join my free live 2-day masterclass on intuition, nervous system regulation, and feminine rhythms to build sustainable energy, balance hormones, and support long-term vitality. Live January 21 & 22 at 12PM CST (replay included).
