Welcome in Fascinating ladies (and gentlemen). Spring brings a fresh energy that makes many of us want to clean our homes from top to bottom. But what if we’ve been overlooking the most important house of all—our body? In this episode, we talk about the 7 free and natural ways to spring clean your body that does not involve supplements. Although I do share one powerful drainage kit I personally use and recommend, see below.
But first, let me take this moment to welcome in our new subscribers;
Thank you so much for trusting in me with your health and wellbeing.
Show Notes
As we sage with sass and grace, keeping our internal house clean becomes crucial. From clearing mental cobwebs and improving sleep to boosting digestion and balancing hormones, we can support our internal detox systems with everyday, accessible habits. Movement, sleep, hydration, whole foods, fermented goodies, herbal teas, and effective stress management are all covered. We’ll even talk about digestive enzymes and how they can be a secret weapon for vibrant energy and fewer hot flashes.
Whether you're a seasoned wellness warrior or just beginning to sage intentionally, this episode will guide you to optimize your vitality with habits that actually stick. And yes, we’ll talk poop, probiotics, stress (because we all have it), sleep cycles, hydration hacks, caffeine swaps, and even what happens when beta-amyloid isn’t properly flushed from the brain. This alone should make you want to tune in! It has my attention!
We’ll also explore some advanced options like the Comprehensive Homeopathic Drainage Kit and digestive enzyme testing—and if you're curious about ordering your own stool Elastase-1 test, I've got info on that too. It’s all in the show notes!
So grab your green juice, kick off your shoes, and let’s get into the mindset and methods of daily detox without the drama.
Topics Discussed in the Episode:
Why internal spring cleaning matters as we sage
7 ways to detox daily without a cleanse kit or supplements

A little more on some things discussed in the podcast:
The Lymphatic System
I mentioned our lymphatic system. This system runs though out our body and does not have its own pump system like our cardiovascular system does. The only way it can move is for us to move. It needs our body to be upright and using gravity and our own energetic system to move things along. Our lymphatic system carries nutrients to our cells and carries our metabolic waste to our colon for removal. In order for this to happen, we need to move. This is, is how we can spring clean every day. Get moving!
The Glympathic System

Our sleep cycle also allows for the The glymphatic system which is a macroscopic waste clearance system that promotes efficient elimination of soluble proteins and metabolites from the central nervous system. The glymphatic system helps distribute nutrients— such as glucose, lipids, amino acids, and neurotransmitters related to volume transmission, in the brain—this system also palys a pitvvial role in the elimination of neurotoxic waste products,— including β-amyloid. When B-amyloid is able to create plaque in the brain, it leads to dementia and Alzheimers.
The GI MAP
The GI MAP is a comprehensive stool test that also includes the Fecal Elastase-1 I talked about in the podcast. This is my favourite test!
Diagnostic Solutions has just introduced an Add ON I am super excited about; StoolOMX. The new StoolOMX add-on measures 25 bile acids as well as 9 short chain and branch chain fatty acids (SCFAs) — microbial metabolites essential for gut health. SCFAs reflect microbial activity, fiber fermentation, and gut barrier integrity, while bile acid levels provide insights into malabsorption, bile acid diarrhea, and dysbiosis. This is such a breakthrough for those with unknown (or baffling) diarrhea but also important to understand how the liver is interacting with our hormones! Not convinced, check out this study; Spotlight on the Gut Microbiome in Menopause: Current Insights.

Drainage and Detox Kit and Program.
The Detox Kit is a series of six small two ounce bottles that you can add to water and either sip on all day or take 3 times daily. When combined with the foods we talked about in the podcast and getting the sugar caffeine, alcohol and refined foods out for 30 days, you will feel the effects. and does a really nice job on just feeling a boost in energy, feeling clarity and helping with better sleep and getting those hot flashes under control. You can download more information here☟
There is also the OmniCleanse Detox Kit. It has the The Comprehensive Homeopathic Drainage kit plus botanicals and advanced nutraceuticals to support the body in the facilitation of elimination. I typically go for just the Comprehensive Homeopathic Drainage kit because it is easier. I also use this kit for when I am working with getting bacterial overgrowth under control as it helps with those nasty LPS toxins that can affect estrogen balance. Download more information here☟
