How To Deep Clean Your Body

I recommend using the Trim Healthy Mama Plan to change your lifestyle. It is a sustainable lifestyle.

I started THM in June 2013 and for several years, I ate “on-plan” during the week, but splurged on whatever I wanted over the weekend – this was not healthy. My weight and health were on a rollercoaster.

January 2020 I committed 100% and have never felt better! I have been 99% on-plan since then – only eating a handful of off-plan food a couple of times during the week after my 14-year-old daughter suddenly died.

In January of 2023, I became a certified Trim Healthy Mama Lifestyle Coach. You can follow my Instagram account for tips and meal ideas.

The Back Story

I became pregnant with my 8th baby in August 2013 and continued on-plan and was doing great until the 8th month of pregnancy. Our oldest daughter had a medical emergency that left her fighting for her life in the PICU for the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy.

Living in the hospital, I was eating junk food and sugar-filled coffee to survive. We were “let out” just 2 days before my baby was born!

After that, I struggled to eat healthily and keep the weight off. My weight slowly crept up until I was at my heaviest weight ever – reaching 1 pound heavier than when I was DUE with my babies – yikes!

So, I was determined to reset my health! I committed 100% to THM in January 2020!

The healthy lifestyle I live is a specific plan that has taught me the best ways to deep clean or reset my body – without addressing any specific health issues or medical/dietary needs. I have educated myself to determine the best way to eat (and live) for the best health.

Steps to Take to Deep Clean Your Body

Cut out added sugar.
Cut out processed food (preservatives/ additives, etc.).
Eat whole foods.
Start with single-ingredient items.
Cook/bake from scratch.
Eat healthy fats.
Eat healthy carbs.
Eat healthy protein.
Drink lots of fluids, starting with more water.
Drink and eat things that will flush toxins from your body.
Be more active.

Best Tips

Keep meals simple: start with a healthy protein and add veggies, whole grains, fruit, etc.
Use pure stevia, Truvia, raw honey, or pure maple syrup as a sweetener.
Add coconut oil, olive oil, fresh avocados, butter, tallow, and other healthy fats to your diet.
Get most of your carbs from veggies, whole (sourdough/fermented/soaked) grains, oatmeal, etc.
Eat wild-caught salmon, grass-fed beef/lamb, and lean poultry.
Use an Instant Pot for healthier, quicker meals.
Drink real bone broth or add gelatin to hot tea to support your gut health.
Drink iced green tea or water with raw apple cider vinegar and sweetened with low-glycemic sweetener or lemon-infused water.
Take a high-quality probiotic to help heal the gut for better overall health.
Take Epsom Salt and/or essential oil baths to relax and “detox”.
Start a tummy-safe and quick exercise routine that can be done in your living room, to boost your metabolism and tone your body.
Utilize resources on the web to educate yourself on better health. Analyze and use common sense and critical thinking skills to determine the truth from the hype. However, I prefer to think about the biblical lifestyle when considering health programs (for example: they ate real, whole foods from every food group in the Bible, so I do not agree with diets that eliminate a food group like meat, grains, veggies, etc.)
Read books about health – I trust everything from THM which is Bible-based and science-backed (and agree with about 99% of what they share). THIS book of recipes and health information is also a good resource.
