1+ y ago38:03

38:03

Detoxing does not = deprivation. Any "cleanse" that immediately guarantees weight loss, instructs you to eat less, or really do anything extreme is likely not going to be a long term solution to the sub par health symptoms you're having. More often than not, our bodies just need a simple reset rather than a full blown intense detox, unless you're w…
