Detoxing your body won’t work until you detox your home.
Common toxins in your home include artificial fragrances, plastics, and cleaning chemicals.
The best way to clean up what’s inside of you is to clean up what’s outside of you.
INTRO
Gloria hung over the kitchen table, rubbing sore eyes. With a blink, she heaped three teaspoons of sugar into her coffee cup for the extra boost.
“Why do I feel so tired?”
She was doing everything right. But nothing worked. She ate her five fruits and veggies, drank lots of fluids, walked Winston down the street and back, took her supplements…when she remembered!
Gloria grabbed a container off the counter and shook out three blue gummy vitamins.
She didn’t understand why she felt more tired in the morning than she did at night. She always woke at 3:00 a.m. with too many thoughts but slept at least eight hours.
Winston yawned from his mat by the backdoor. He slept okay on her bed, but maybe he was tired, too.
Coffee done, Gloria struggled to tie her shoes. She’d noticed the upward creep on her bathroom scales.
Why do I keep gaining weight? It’s not like I eat that much. Maybe it’s all for nothing and I should just give up!
Winston whinned at the door, but his excitement had faded as much as hers. With a sigh, Gloria clipped on his leash and they headed out…because the exercise was good for them.
As they walked the tree-lined street, Gloria fumed. She’d dreamed of traveling the world and taking up dancing. Yet, here she was, stumbling through life, feeling too tired to do anything.
I’ve tried everything! It isn’t fair.
“My sleep continues to improve with each cleanse. What used to take me a lot longer, now with just 7 hours of sleep a night, I wake up feeling fully charged and ready to be the best mom I can be.”
“My sleep continues to improve with each cleanse. What used to take me a lot longer, now with just 7 hours of sleep a night, I wake up feeling fully charged and ready to be the best mom I can be.”
Turning a corner, they met Sally coming back from her morning run.
Sally waved and stopped to pat Winston’s head. “Gloria, honey, are you okay?”
“I haven’t been sleeping so well,” Gloria admitted.
Her friend straightened. “Oh, I know that feeling! Two years ago, I couldn’t sleep either. I’d lie awake thinking about all manner of things. And I was fifty pounds overweight.”
Gloria’s jaw dropped.
Sally had moved to the subdivision recently, and she was the fittest person Gloria knew.
Gloria had to ask, “What happened?”
Sally grinned. “Back then, I was so toxic. But I didn’t know it. Then I discovered the Energetic Health Institute and learned about detoxing! I signed up for a course. And, well…” Sally spread her arms and laughed. “It was a great success, right?”
No denying that. Sally was slender and radiated energy. Exactly what Gloria wanted.
Maybe she hadn’t tried everything.
“Where do I sign up?” she asked.
LEARNING HOW TO DETOX
Gloria took the next detox course at the Energetic Health Institute (EHI).
She learned that her Liver was in anguish because it couldn’t filter her blood the way God intended.
Her home was toxic. Her plug-in air freshners and scented laundry detergents made her and Winston sick.
The “fragance” in her lotion was toxic, too. And so was the food she ate, the water she drank, and the air she breathed.
No wonder she woke up feeling sluggish and slow.
She’d been so certain what was wrong was inside her that she never considered the problem might actually be what was on the outside of her.
What she learned at EHI is this…
“You aren’t what you eat…
you’re what you can absorb… and what you can’t get rid of.”
And why is that?
Gloria learned the number one organ of detoxification is the Liver, and that her Liver was struggling to keep up with the toxins she was taking into her body.
She also discovered that when the Liver is overloaded from environmental toxins, people develop issues like hormone imbalance, fatigue, weight gain, and even cancer. The people most susceptible to these problems are pregnant women, babies, and older people like herself.
No wonder she’d been feeling so tired…

DETOXING STARTS IN THE HOME
During her first lesson at EHI, Gloria discovered she needed to detox her home.
She started with a HEPA filter to clean the air, and chose detergents and personal care products scented with essential oils instead of poisonous chemicals.
She threw out her plug-in air fresheners, replace them with essential oil defusers, and rediscovered her love of lavender and sandalwood.
“She’d dreamed of traveling the world and taking up dancing.
Yet, here she was, feeling too tired to do anything.”
Next, she chose household linens and clothes made with organic cotton, hemp, and wool, instead of polyester. So, the fabrics touching her skin were good for her.
As Gloria cleaned her house, she and Winston felt better. And Gloria cleanse out the chemicals inside her body with clean water, organic food, sauna therapy, and high-quality supplements.
Here are a few things Gloria learned…

A FEW KEYS TO DETOXING
Growing plants like aloe vera, peace lily, and philodendron help remove common indoor chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia.
Drinking Home-Brewed Holy Water from glass or stainless-steel containers helps wash out toxins built up inside your body.
Sweating in an infrared sauna supports your Liver by pushing toxins out.
Eating foods that are organic, locally grown, and non-GMO reduce the toxins you take in.
Using wood or bamboo cutting boards, cast-iron or stainless-steel cookware, and wood or stainless-steel utencils protect you from dangerous “forever” chemicals found in non-stick pans and plastic kitchenware.
Choosing toothpaste, deodorant, soap, lotion, and make-up made with natural ingredients— no fluoride or aluminum!—reduces toxic overload.
Clearing your closet and laundry room to remove the hidden chemicals found in plastic products.
While studying at EHI, Gloria felt supported and encouraged on her healing journey because her teachers and classmates celebrated her wins with her.
But the most important thing she discovered is, that when it comes to healing, there’s always more to do and learn.
Gloria slept better, her skin became smooth, her belly fat melted away, and she felt more confident.
As her hormones balanced, so did her moods. She became optimistic about the future and felt more forgiving about the past.
She drank herbal teas—like dandelion, burdock and milk thistle—that helped regenerate her Liver.
Six months later, Winston barked at the backdoor, body bouncing with excitement. Gloria took him on daily hikes in local parks and woods. She signed up for dance lessons and started planning a walking vacation across Spain.
She was eager to rise every morning. Life felt joyous again. And she loved to see Winston’s energy, now they were living in a toxin-free home.
