In this introductory video, love, health, and abundance coach Jodie Louise welcomes participants to her free detox program and outlines how to prepare for a comfortable, low‑symptom detox. She shares her personal health journey that led her to become a detox coach, emphasizing that a gentle, staged approach is safer and more sustainable than a rapid juice cleanse. Jodie recommends using herbal kits—starting with colon support, then kidneys, liver, and finally the lymphatic system—and invites participants to ask for personalized herb advice. She describes the detox diet in three phases: an elimination stage removing gluten, soy, corn, meat, dairy, processed foods, followed by a fruit‑and‑vegetable‑focused phase (with optional mono‑fruit meals and intermittent fasting) and guidance on raw versus cooked foods. She warns about possible “healing crisis” symptoms such as headaches, skin breakouts, fatigue, or old injury pain, reassuring participants that these indicate the detox is working. Jodie explains group logistics, including the Units tab for tracking progress, notification settings, a wellness questionnaire, and a liability waiver. She cautions that detoxing can affect medication efficacy, especially hormonal contraceptives and antidepressants, and advises consulting a doctor. Finally, she lists supportive tools—enemas, oil pulling, tongue scraping, body brushing, and activated charcoal—to aid colon, oral, and lymphatic cleansing. Throughout, she encourages participants to ask questions, share experiences, and trust their bodies, promising ongoing guidance and personal involvement throughout the program.
Chapters
Hi everyone, I'm Jodie Louise and I'm so happy to be here with you. It's my first video for the detox program. I thought I'd jump on and create a short little video just to tell you a little bit about what to expect and how to prepare. So those that don't know me, I'm a love, health, and abundance coach and I help mostly women, but some men too, to fall deeply in love with their bodies, to heal their bodies, Detox and to step into their soul's purpose. And this all came about because over 10 years ago now, I got really, really sick. I had depression, I had psoriasis, I had acne, I was holding weight. I was so depressed with anxiety, and my body hurt. I had inflammation, and I tried every single diet under the sun and nothing really worked. So that's what led me on this path to train as a detox coach. and to try every single different diet. I've done the hard work and now I help my clients do the same without all the hard work and all the suffering that I went through. So I'm really pleased to have you part of this program and I'm really, really looking forward to teaching you all of my wisdom. And so I made this group as a free group because I wanted to help people through this powerful time. It's such an opportunity to go within. And when we detox our bodies, what we find happens is everything else in our life starts to feel better. We have more clarity. More energy, and just opportunities and doors just start to open up. And I've experienced this in my life, and I just want to share that with all of you. So welcome, welcome, welcome. Please, if you have any questions at any time, that's what this is for. Post them in the group. We're going to be supporting other people that are here by asking questions. So this is what we're here for. We're here to rise and grow together. I've got a couple of notes I've just prepared I just have a few things to tick off, and if you do have any more questions, just let me know. Okay. So the first thing I wanna mention is about approaching the detox slowly. So a lot of people contact me and they're like, hey, I wanna do a juice detox, and I'm like, okay, great, and they're like, I've got 3 days, I wanna do it over the weekend, and that's not how I go about detox, and the reason for that is it's dangerous. If you're eating really toxic foods, let's say you're eating meat and dairy, and you jump into a juice detox, The body's gonna have all these acids stirred up, you're gonna get headaches, you're gonna be uncomfortable, and it's gonna be a horrible experience. And then you go back to eating those foods. What you've done is you've just basically gone out for a night on the weekend drinking a bunch of alcohol, and you've stirred up all this stuff in the body, and then it's like, where does it go? If you don't properly open up the elimination channels, these toxins have nowhere to go. So my approach is gentle, so that way Not only are you more comfortable, it's also more sustainable. And you also start to learn what it is that works and doesn't for your body, because we're all so different. So let's take it slowly. Let's ease into this slowly. Even if you've been detoxing before, wherever you're at, still take it slow and use this as an opportunity. There's absolutely no rush, and your body is going to love you for taking it slow. So I can't recommend that enough. The other thing I'd like to mention is about herbs. So I've recommended some herbal kits that I strongly recommend that I use myself, and I really recommend using some form of herbal support, in particular something to cleanse the colon and to support the kidneys. But really, you do want to be supporting the liver and the lymph system as well. But just tune into your body and what feels in resonance for you right now. And also, maybe you have your own preferred herbs that you like to work with. So let me know if you need any support With your selection of using herbs. If you don't have them for the first week, that's okay, as long as they come sometime throughout the month so you can go in deeper and then continue to take them ongoing. And you might find that you end up detoxing past June. So yes, please let me know if you need any advice about the herbs. And for those of you that have bought your kits already, I know I've seen lots of you buying kits, please let me know if you have any questions about those. But I will be posting more information soon on how to take them, the best times of day, how many, how to adjust them to suit your body, that type of thing. So do bear with me, I'll have that ready very soon. But if you're eager to get started, just send me a private message or post in the group and I can advise you on how to get started now. But with the herbs, we start with the colon because we need to start emptying the colon out, then we move into the kidneys and the liver, and then we start to add the lymph nodes. Because if the other systems aren't working, the lymphatic system can't dump. Also, you've got 2 more days to order the kits and you will receive the free bonus Life Force or the Adrenal Support. That's only for 2 more days. If you purchase after that, you won't get them as an additional freebie. Just wanted to let you know about that special promotion for this cleanse. The other thing a lot of you have been asking me is about what are we gonna be eating, what are the different stages of the detox? So the different stages of the detox, we start off by doing an elimination diet, which you can start now if you like, where we start taking out the toxic foods, the gluten, the soy, the corn, the meat, the dairy, the processed foods, things that come in packaging, the things on ingredients that you don't know what they are, the different numbers and all the different preservatives, etc. So the diet is gonna be mostly fruits and vegetables. And then in level 2, we start to eliminate Fats, and the diet will be still mostly fruits and vegetables, but I would encourage you to up your fruit intake if you desire. Depending where you're at, if you have allergies to fruit— allergies, they're not real, and they will pass. You will be able to eat fruit again, I promise you, over time. But if you are really sensitive to fruit, what's happening is the fruits are so astringent and they're so active that your body's reacting. So it's good to slow that down because you don't want to be uncomfortable and having more greens and other types of vegetables. And you can have cooked food. Raw is not law. So if you feel like having some steamed vegetables or something like that, that's more than okay. Soups are absolutely amazing to make. If it's cold where you are and you don't want to be eating raw foods, you don't have to be. And that's what I love about my approach to detoxing is there's so many different options. There's no right way. The only right way is the right way for you. And what feels good in your body. So I will go into that more, but if you do wanna get started now, just start cutting out those foods and it will definitely make the transition in far easier. And for those of you that are already not eating these foods, I would encourage you to be exploring having mono fruit meals, especially the first meal of the day. For those of you that have no idea what a mono fruit meal is, don't worry, this is for those that have been doing this for a while. I will go into this. I just don't want to make this video too long so you can all watch it now. And starting to increase your dry or intermittent fasting window so you're having more of a break to get the body prepared. And I mean, you know what to do, just to start to ease off things slowly. And if you're looking at going into juice or big drives, we can do that too. So just let me know where you're at, send me a comment right now what it is that you're looking to achieve, and I'll comment back and Let you know what's best. So yeah, I do want to touch on the healing crisis. So healing crisis is something that can come up. This can be minor, maybe it's a slight headache, it could be some breakouts on the skin, it could be tiredness, maybe you might feel pains in your body in areas that you've had injuries before as well. So lots of things can come up, don't be scared and don't stop. This is powerful. When you're having something like this come up, you know that it's working. I mean, the amount of times I've been detoxing, I've had congestion all through my sinuses. That stuff's moving. This is good. It's got to come out. You can't expect all the damage we've done in our bodies to not come out of the body. It's got to come out somehow. So yeah, just know that. And if anything's coming up, just share that. And I'm here to hold you, and the whole group is here to hold you. And We're all going to be going through things together. I've been on the detox and fasting journey for over 10 years, and when I detox, I still get things coming up. There's always another layer. I like to look at it like the onion, peeling it back, and there's always more inside. So yeah, I mean, I've already healed my body of psoriasis head to toe, severe acne, energy levels, depression, all of that, and it just takes time. And then there's still more bits to the puzzle, and like, I still get a little bit of scalp psoriasis, People say, what, you're a detox coach and you still get some stuff going on? And it's like, yeah, this is a lifelong journey. And we live in a toxic world, so we do need to constantly be detoxing our bodies. So yeah. So using this group, so if you notice in the group there's a section called Units. And within Units you'll see all the different topics and you can mark them as done if you wish, so you know what you've done and what you haven't. So if you're not able to come on for a couple of days, you can just jump right back in and you can see what I've shared. The other key thing to do is to click on the 3 little dots at the top and you'll see notifications. So you can opt so you receive all notifications pop up, because by default it will only be some posts. If you want to be notified every time I share something, make sure you select that. If you don't and you just want to drop in, you can actually see— go to see no posts as well, but don't do that. I want you to see all of the posts. I want you to be here with us. But whatever feels good for you. I just wanted to share that. Another important thing is the wellness questionnaire. I've seen a lot of you have completed it already, and this gives me information about what it is that you need. If there's anything really serious I read on there that sends me alarm bells, I can then contact you. And it just also helps to explain the process, and there's a waiver in there as well, which I'd love if you could have completed. I would love it if you could sign just to protect me, just to understand your rights and my rights. It's really good for both of us to have that. So yeah, if you could complete that, that would be amazing. There is a field to put your email address on there, which I will add to my database. If for some reason you don't want to be emailed in the future, please just let me know and I'll make sure that you're not. So yeah, let me know about that. Something else important to note is about taking medication. When you're detoxing, you can find that your medications may not be as effective or may not work at all. So ladies, if any of you are on the contraceptive pill, which I strongly urge you would consider coming off at some point in the future, one of the best things I ever did, also one of the hardest, so if you need any support with that, please let me know. But it can stop working and you can get pregnant. So use protection during this detox, especially if you're going deeper. If you're just at level 1, you should be okay. But if you're taking the herbs with that as well, then I would be really mindful that the pill might not work. The other thing to think about when detoxing is because we're cleansing the body, things are moving through quicker, so they can just work differently. So if you're taking antidepressants or something like that, then they might not work as well, your mood might shift. So be mindful of that, and if you're taking anything that's really serious for your health or you're really concerned, Really important that you speak to your doctor to make sure that this program is appropriate for you to be part of, and you can also reach out to me as well, and I'll give you my advice on that too. So yeah, but please be careful and don't push your body too much, and always listen to your body. If something doesn't feel right, you know best. Everyone is on their own journey, and we're all at different levels of detox, so yeah. And the other last thing I wanna mention is the supportive tools that you can use during your detox. Things like having an enema bag. I will go into how to do an enema. This is not compulsory, but it is a great tool if you're feeling tired, having headaches, struggling to go to the bathroom, to use the enema to help you flush the colon. Oil pulling, so having some coconut or sesame oil. I'll go into that more, but it basically helps clean the mouth, along with getting a tongue scraper, which takes off the ama off the tongue, which is used like a pick for cleaning. when you wake up, and that's all toxins. So you don't wanna be swallowing that back. And also a body brush, which is great for the lymphatic drainage, which I'll teach you how to properly body brush as well. I'll definitely share some videos. I'm not sure if it will be one that I've made or someone else's. We'll see if I have time to make my own, but I'll definitely share lots of tips on that, and that helps flush the lymphatic system. Charcoal is also a wonderful product to have if you're getting any gas or tummy upsets. That's something you can take to support you with that. And other than that, I think that's everything. Yeah, if you have any questions, please reach out. I'm so excited to be here with you and to be talking with you. I'm going to be on the journey with you, going in deep. I'm going to be having a lot of coconut water through my fast, and I'm going to be on the same frequency as you guys. Yeah, looking forward to it. Sending you so much love. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for being here. You're giving your body the greatest gift. Much love and have a beautiful day.
