Your body is always giving cues, and when you get multiple data points pointing to the same thing, it’s worth listening to them! I decided to pause detox and prioritize gut support, and then got strong confirmation through both my acupuncturist and my chiropractor that my gut and liver were both struggling through the detox. This is your reminder to always listen to your body, especially when dealing with something as serious and difficul…
