A Bit More on My Reasons for the 30 Day Detox
Some people have asked me to blog a bit more about my 30 Day Detox and why I am doing it.
The best way to learn what I am doing here is to visit Trisha Stewart’s website for a greater explanation and buy her Healthy Tart book. This talks a lot about good nutrition and also details the 30 Day Detox along with all the necessary recipes.
My BEST Consultation with Trisha
Essentially, I went to see Trisha because I wanted to try a totally holistic approach to my health. I have always sought out alternative therapies but after having extremely poor health last year (I was eventually diagnosed with an underactive thyroid) and putting on a helluva lot of weight, I knew I needed help to get my health back on track. I had tried to tackle it on my own, but sometimes you need assistance and shouldn’t be afraid or ashamed to ask for it.
I found Trisha Stewart on Twitter through a friend and went for my first consultation 3 weeks ago. Trisha begins by doing a health screen using the BEST system (BioEnergetic Stress Testing). This uses a non-invasive probe on Acupressure points to test for hormone levels, toxins, sensitivities, allergies, intolerances, parasites, bacteria etc. At the end of the process you receive a full printout of all the findings.
My readout showed some high scores to indicate a toxic system including some parasites, bacteria, candida and viruses. My hormone levels were not unusual, but that is probably because I am on Thyroid medication.
Trisha then recommends the 30 day detox, in order to clean the system and enable Trisha to see what we are left with once I am all cleansed and flushed of as many toxins as possible. She also gave me some homeopathic drops for the parasites and a good quality probiotic for my digestive system.
What Happens at the End of the 30 Day Detox?
Who knows?
I will go back to see Trisha and then she can assess how to progress now that the “decks are cleared.”
Certainly, in the Healthy Tart book, she advises a continued Vegan diet but if I can’t live without meat, fish, eggs etc. then she suggests keeping it to a minimum. Also, some yeast-free bread every other day.
As well as clearing the toxins, the other upside of the detox is some weightloss and an increase in energy and general wellbeing.
Hope that explains more. If you have any further questions please add them to the comments section or send me (@PCOS) or Trisha (@TrishaStewart) a message on Twitter.

It’s a fact that certain metabolic types do need meat to feel and be well. These types do not do well on vegan diets longterm and often feel better when adding a good rice based protein powder when following a vegan detox diet.
