Did you know that your body is detoxifying right now? This very minute.
The body is a well-designed machine that can detox without all the gimmicks and diet potions! Some of us detoxify better than others, however. That information lies in your DNA. That’s what I learned when I looked at my DNA. My detoxification genes need some serious daily help!
Here are some of the many signs your body might be detoxing at a sub-optimal level: difficulty losing weight, low energy, food and environmental sensitivities, bloating, mood shifts, and more.
A detoxifying powerhouse enzyme in the body is called Nrf2 (not Nerf-2 
). What should you want to know about this enzyme?
How to activate it.
Use these tips to help activate Nrf2:
- Choose cruciferous vegetables, especially broccoli. Broccoli contains a compound (sulforaphane) that directly wakes up this enzyme.
- Create a 12-13 hour fasting window daily. A longer window is rarely better or needed.
- Space at least two meals 4 hours apart. The time created in between meals activates other enzymes to activate Nrf2.
- Sweat. Layer up when walking, find a sauna, or grab a lower-impact workout in a heated room. Sweating releases toxins, especially sweating at rest or during lower-impact activities.
- Consider knowing your DNA. Answers to how well you detoxify lie in your genes.
