Support your body’s natural detox pathways and feel better every day

Step 1: Clean Up Your Air

Use a HEPA air purifier in bedrooms or workspaces.
Keep indoor humidity between 40–50% to prevent mold growth.
Open windows when possible for fresh air circulation.
Add air-purifying plants like spider plants or snake plants.

Indoor air can be 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air, impacting your lungs, skin, hormones, and energy.

Step 2: Filter Your Water

Drink filtered tap water or high-quality bottled water.
Consider shower filters if sensitive to chlorine or chemicals.
Avoid plastic bottles when possible—use glass or stainless steel.

Water supports detox, energy, hormone balance, and skin health. Filtering reduces chemical exposures and protects your body daily.

Step 3: Rethink Your Products

Swap scented candles, harsh cleaners, and conventional personal care products for clean alternatives.
Look for products with full ingredient transparency.
Consider aluminum-free deodorants, natural toothpaste, and organic body oils.

Your skin is your largest organ—toxins can absorb directly and contribute to hormone disruption and inflammation.

Step 4: Support Your Gut & Liver

Eat fiber-rich foods, fermented vegetables, and diverse plant-based foods.
Stay hydrated and ensure daily elimination.
Support liver pathways with cruciferous vegetables, antioxidants, and avoiding processed foods.

Your gut and liver are key detox organs. If they’re sluggish or inflamed, toxins accumulate, affecting energy, skin, and overall health.

Step 5: Reduce Lifestyle & Environmental Stressors

Prioritize quality sleep and stress management.
Move your body consistently to support lymphatic flow.
Limit exposure to tobacco, pesticides, and unnecessary chemicals.

Detox isn’t just about what you eat—it’s about lifestyle balance and minimizing ongoing toxic exposures.

💚 Clark Wellness Tip:

Start small. You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Even one or two changes today can reduce toxic load and support your body’s natural detox pathways.
