The Gut-Brain Trap of Detox Fasting in Humid Seasons
Jul 17, 2025 5:06 am
Hey ,
Ever wondered why you feel more bloated, more fatigued, or more irritated when you try a “detox fast” in this weather?
Here’s a truth bomb - your body isn’t crying for a cleanse, it’s screaming for balance.
Here’s the catch (and it’s a BIG one):
In humid seasons, your gut microbiome slows down, your digestion naturally becomes weaker, and your liver (the main detox hero) needs support, not starvation.
Yet you’re tempted by trends, by guilt, or by the idea that “less is more.”
But let’s be honest:
Can you really detox if your brain is foggy and your mood is fragile?
The gut-brain axis gets confused, and instead of healing, you invite inflammation - the root of IBS, fatigue, psoriasis flare-ups, and body pain.
So what should you do instead?
Here’s your one small but powerful thing to try today:
Have a mid-morning warm tea of fennel, ajwain & jeera water.
It supports the liver, reduces gut gas, and gently fuels your body to eliminate toxins without shutting down your system.
Let’s be smart, not sorry.
Your body needs nourishment, rhythm, and kindness especially in these months.
Because true detox is not a diet - it’s a relationship with your gut. And in relationships, starving someone never works.
Book a one on one consultation with me over WhatsApp and I’ll show you how to balance your digestion and inflammation the anti-inflammatory way.
With warmth, warning, and wisdom,
