Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Ashley Lucas arguing that a "detoxifying cleanse" should mimic ancestral diets. The speaker recommends whole, land-based foods — animal proteins, healthy fats, some vegetables and occasional fruits — and avoiding highly processed, shelf-stable packaged foods to allow the body to detoxify efficiently.

Things that you can start doing that's going to help the body to process. Detoxifying cleanse is a diet that mimics our ancestors. So if you think about what diet our ancestors ate way back, it was really what was available on the land. So this would be animal proteins, healthy fats, some veggies and maybe some fruits once in a while. They obviously didn't have things in boxes and bags and things that could be on shelves for multiple years. And so that's what I want and encourage you to, when you're looking at what to eat throughout the day, to allow the body to work efficiently.
