When I was young, I spent every summer with my grandmother and was intrigued by her commitment to cleanse. For 50 years (until she was well into her 80s) my grandmother detoxified a few days a week.
At 94, her mind was sharp, her mood was bright and she had the blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity of a person half her age! I marvelled how her skin was silky smooth and her hair stayed strong and dark.
Since those summers with Grandma, I have explored the most popular methods of detoxification.
I have done water fasting, the lemonade “master cleanse” fast, the macrobiotic brown rice cleanse, the cold juice fast, the kichadi cleanse, the candida diet, the gallbladder flush, anti-parasite programs, herbal cleanses and even an extreme Ayurvedic cleanse with a saltwater purge.
Sadly, these extreme cleanses left me depleted, which damped my digestion and primed my gut for inflammation.
To make matters worse...the lack of nutrition in these popular detox plans actually prevented me from detoxing safely.
Here's why...
All the cells of your body, as well as your organs, rely upon a well-functioning bowel. Bowel cleansing is the first and most important thing to focus on as it opens the highway of detoxification. Imagine that your body systems working together to get the toxins from the tissues to the bowel, but it gets stopped by a log jam of toxin because the bowels are blocked.
If these toxins stop moving, they risk being picked up and recirculated back into the body. Yikes!
When you are young, your digestive juices are in their prime and work powerfully. Our digestive fire (called agni in Ayurveda) is the power of our digestive organs to process and absorb what we eat while burning off waste products. If we have a strong digestive fire, we are able to easily digest food and absorb its nutrients.
As you age, changes occur in your digestive tract. These changes lead to a decrease in digestive acid and enzymes, making it difficult to efficiently digest your food. It is typically at this stage in life when you may begin to experience a host of health problems, allergies, food sensitivities or food intolerances.
If we have a weak digestive fire, our body won’t digest well, creating an inflammatory environment. In turn, inflammatory foods can dampen the digestive fire by promoting negative microbes that disrupt the healthy microbiome of our gut ecology.
In fact, an inflammatory digestive environment can cause such a dramatic disturbance that we have a terrible time digesting and absorbing the foods we eat. We rely on our gut microbes, and if they are disrupted by poor eating habits, they can’t assist us with digestion.
Essentially, we are what we absorb.
Your body must have the nutrition it needs to effectively eliminate toxins...and the Hot Detox delivers this by first focusing on repairing, rebuilding and revitalizing the gut.
From there, your other detoxification organs can work efficiently together...without the harsh side effects of extreme protocols or fad cleanses.
When you follow the Hot Detox process...
… you will find the right words to say because your mind is razor sharp
… you will take that hike on your bucket list because you can breathe easily and climb effortlessly
… you will have so much energy to create that dream project deep inside you.
I completely understand what it feels like to be in pain. I know you’re looking for an answer and have spent money and time on past programs failed you. But you still don’t feel quite 100% and you still may experience...
Allergies to foods that you were NEVER allergic to before
Constantly feeling lethargic and depleted
Limping around from painful and stiff joints
Fear of going out too far away from a bathroom or constipation so hard you see blood in your stools
Brain fog so bad even finding common words to say didn’t come out
In my early 30s I had just become a nutritionist and was taking a trip of a lifetime to Australia and Asia when the hammer came down. I ate the wrong Pad Thai, and the food poisoning nearly killed me. My fever ran so high that I could not even walk! Thankfully a friend carried me to a nearby nursing station, where emergency measures saved my life.
Although aggressive antibiotics saved me, the poisonous infection ravaged my gut and left me with post-infectious colitis. This inflammatory condition soon spread throughout my body and I began to suffer from arthritis, bursitis, brain fog, anxiety and pain. I remember feeling so tired that all I could do was make it to the couch after a long day. I felt like I was 70 living in a 30 year old body.
That experience was truly devastating, but I realized I had a choice. I could spend my life under the curse of inflammatory pain or I could find a way back to wellness. I began to research and apply what I learned and day by day, I was able to regain my health.
Now, I am in full remission and living an incredibly joyful life with my husband, Alan. I am pain-free and filled with so much authentic energy, I want to share this feeling with you!

The unfortunate truth is that most people are running on empty. Maybe you are living in fight or flight, with a stressed out work life that doesn’t serve you long term. Maybe you have some anxiety about the future because you don’t feel great right now and wonder how things will play out as you get older?
Maybe you suffer from a health condition, and all the worry gets compounded, you begin to feel isolated from others feel like you are watching life from the side lines.
If you feel short on time, that life is so busy to start something new or that tempting fast food is everywhere, you are not alone. A recent survey shared that the 2 out of 5 people last less than a week on a diet before they go back to their old lifestyle.
The good news is that I have been a nutritionist for over 20 years and have the tools that can make a real difference. I’ve written 3 award-winning books, been on nationally-syndicated TV shows (including the Dr. Oz Show and the Marilyn Denis Show), given keynote lectures around the world and created programs that have helped thousands of people come back from the brink of illness to a state of vibrancy.

The Hot Detox Program is the program I wish I had when I was recovering from my illness. It’s taken me years to fine tune it and provide a proven system that has helped thousands of people start their own healing path. I wanted it to be fun and that people loved the process. Plus, it had to be able to fit into busy lifestyles and avoided any expensive supplements or protocols.
It really comes down to enjoying good, wholesome food. In just 3 weeks people typically report experiencing these kinds of results…
And many other benefits, including:
"Julie’s 21-Day Hot Detox is such a preparation for the rest of one’s life. It is a guide for anyone in search of health, energy and emotional well-being. Before the program, I felt like I was sipping daily on a huge inflammatory cocktail which sent pain bubbling through my veins and tissues, creating fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, depression, anxiety and deep, deep fatigue. I am 73 now and I thank God a precious wave came along and pushed my misguided craft toward Julie and her life-saving program waiting on the Island of Wellness. Her island full of delicious food is one of “no return”. This is how I visualize it ... never, never, never going back to the delusional and deceptive shores of inflammatory foods!"
