Kathleen – I love it! Hopefully your body will feel the nutritional shift early on and you’ll start to live at a higher frequency asap! Happy New Year!
Robyn has been in remission from Hashimoto’s herself for many years and has been 90% vegan for all of those years and in fact credits her good health with eating so many plants. Robyn herself does the 26-Day Detox at least 2 times a year.
Our good friend Izabella Wentz, The creator or “The Thyroid Secret” sent her 500,000 followers to our 26-Day Detox because it’s how Robyn healed from Hashi’s, herself, and put it into remission 17 years ago. Toxicity is one of the “root causes” of Hashimotos and thyroid disease.
Robyn does not line up with Izabella Wentz’s stance that Paleo is the only way to go, for thyroid patients–for Robyn, a very green and plant-based diet (not vegetarian, or vegan, necessarily, the past 25 years, but highly plant-based) was KEY to putting her own Hashimoto’s in remission and keeping it there. If you are avoiding cruciferous vegetables or goitrogens, you can still participate in the detox modified. Please see the optional food substitutions list for the detox in the detox portal.
We’re great friends, the Paleo folks and Robyn, even though she believes that (AND the Auto-Immune Protocol) are fad diets, industry-driven, and on their way out…..because we ALL see that processed foods, GMO foods, and flour products have got to go! There’s lots to say here, but Robyn disagrees with the implication that everyone, just because of thyroid function, needs to eat animal proteins.
Read How Not to Die by Michael Greger, MD, for another perspective that’s very important. I eat virtually all whole plant foods, freely, and do not show any antibodies for thyroid. There’s no “one size fits all” but eating a LOT of plants is important for human beings with 35′ of GI tract.
You may also be interested in listening to Robyn’s podcast episode with Dr Alan Christianson NMD who specializes in natural endocrinology with a focus on thyroid disorders.
The detox diet is extremely adrenal-supportive….plus we’re cleansing many of the organs that, if they’re clogged and maxed, continue to tax your adrenal gland unnecessarily.
It’s also a very veggie-intensive diet, which we’d like you to use as an experiment as well in this question: “Which of these can I take into my “real life?” (post detox)
A detox diet that isn’t massively high in natural whole-foods fiber IS NOT a real detox. And, your post-detox diet must also be high in natural plant fiber. (Not Metamucil! Not the same thing at all.)
I am a 5 year stage IV breast cancer survivor. I have had chemo, surgery and radiation along with 5 years of triple positive hormone blockers. I am currently off of all infusions and praying that the cancer does not resurface. It had progressed to my bones. I continue to be stable over the past 5 years with no other progression.
My question is with detoxing, how will that affect my organs, with so many chemicals in my body for so long. I am 66 years old.
I have a question. I am breastfeeding right now. With the drastic, quick change in my body, would it be too much for the baby? When you were talking about the herxheimer reaction, will that cause an issue?
Hi Stacie, I’m so glad you asked. It is not recommended to undergo Detox while pregnant or nursing.
During Detox our bodies are being cleansed of toxins. These toxins can be released and ingested by the child through the mother’s body. The more reliant a child is on its mother’s body for its nutrition, the more chance the child has of ingesting the mother’s released toxins.
Mothers should use their discretion when deciding whether or not to detox.
If you are a pregnant or nursing mother who has already registered for Detox, please contact customer support for guidance.
Hi Sophia, We can’t project detoxification results relative to specific diagnoses, but I can say we’ve had many folks with no gallbladder complete the program with great success and become annual detoxers. You CAN skip the gallbladder cleanse if you wish, though we feel it’s also helpful for flushing crystalline structures from the kidneys and liver as well. But all other organs of our body can still detox, and the gallbladder is just a big player! I hope you join us, there is so much good that is done when detoxing.
Hi Debbie! No problem, you are welcome to watch these at any time. We hope you join us in our Detox, which can also be done at anytime in the year. We always suggest choosing a month that does not involve travel or any big events. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I’m frustrated. Sick and tired of not feeling better and not able to lose this weight. I struggle so with sweets and ice cream. Praying I can stick to this one.
Hi Patricia, I can certainly relate and understand the feeling. Sugar cravings often times signify a Candida overgrowth, and although the detox is not designed to eradicate Candida it is an excellent start to help cleanse your vital organs of elimination to make the process much easier. I hope you’ll join us and our Detoxer community on facebook by purchasing the Lifetime or Full Support membership.
I’m anxious but feel empowered.

Does it help with your thyroid and your adrenal glands
Absolutely!

I’ve had no gallbladder for 20 years now and I always have had bathroom problems ever since. Will detoxing help me?

I would like to participate but as a caregiver to my mother and brother I can’t always watch at a certain time.
