My first recommendation is to come off all dairy products. Once we allow the body to heal itself, then we can slowly introduce dairy back into the diet. However, I only recommend raw dairy, especially for my lactose intolerant clients. Raw dairy contains the necessary enzyme, Lactase, to assist your body in breaking down lactose. Other options are Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, and Hemp Milk… make sure you get the “unsweetened” varieties, otherwise these too can have sugar added to them.

I started the detox and feel a little constipated, do you have any suggestions?
Be sure to increase fluid intake with any supplements to prevent constipation. You may also want to increase your fiber intake to be sure you are including a good balance of fiber in your daily regimen. A great fiber source is Mila, the chia seed. You can also increase your intake of magnesium to “bowel” tolerance. This can have an impact on constipation. I’ve seen this help many of my clients.
What can I do if I have Sugar Cravings?
Cut out all forms of sugar and grains from your diet. The first week is usually rough, but after you cut these out of your diet, you’ll be amazed at how little you actually crave sugar. It’s then much easier to say no to sugar as well. This is when your body can truly go into fat-burning mode. You’ll learn more about this by attending one of our nutrition workshops, hormone classes, or during your consultation with tmihealth.
What can I do for a headache during the first week on my new eating plan?
This is usually a result of sugar withdrawal. The first week on your new eating plan can be difficult depending on how much sugar and refined carbohydrates you were previously consuming. The good news, it usually last only a week or so. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Tips to help; eat small meals more frequently, increase your antioxidant intake, and increase your glutamine intake. You can also try natural anti-inflammatory nutrients (turmeric, cayenne, bromelain, white willow bark, licorice root, devil’s claw, ginger, boswellia).
What symptoms might I experience while I am detoxing?
Typically an exacerbation of your already occurring symptoms. Sometimes you may see your symptoms get temporarily worse before they get better.
