Here’s the truth: cleansing isn’t just about green juice, endless salads, and running to the bathroom every five minutes (if that’s your idea of a cleanse, you’ve been lied to, babe). A real cleanse — the kind that actually makes you feel lighter, clearer, and more like yourself — is about removing what’s weighing you down in every area of your life. That means toxins in your body, clutter in your space, and emotional baggage you’ve been carrying like a designer tote you don’t even like anymore.

This real girl’s guide to cleansing will walk you through the body, mind, and life resets that actually work — no starvation, no weird powders, no pretending you love celery juice.
Why this real girl’s guide to cleansing is different
It’s realistic – You have a life. This doesn’t require disappearing for a week to a retreat in Bali.
It’s full-body & full-life – We’re not just talking food. We’re hitting your space, your phone, your energy, and your mindset.
It’s hormone & gut-friendly – Your body’s detox systems are already working 24/7 — we just give them the support they need.
Step 1: Cleanse Your Body
Your liver, gut, skin, and kidneys are your real detox squad — you just need to feed them right.
Eat real food – Colourful plants, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Support your liver – Think beetroot, lemon water, leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, and herbs like milk thistle.
Hydrate like you mean it – 2–3 litres of water daily, preferably filtered.
Ditch the daily toxins – Cut down alcohol, processed junk, and unnecessary meds where possible (talk to your doc).
Step 2: Cleanse Your Space
If your kitchen counter looks like a post-apocalyptic smoothie bar, it’s time to declutter.
Clear out expired pantry goods, skincare, and supplements.
Wash your bedding (yes, including the throw pillows).
Create one calm corner where you can actually breathe — no laundry piles allowed.
Step 3: Cleanse Your Mind
Mental clutter can be just as exhausting as physical clutter.
Journal – Get the brain dump out of your head and onto paper.
Meditate – Even five minutes can hit the reset button.
Unfollow – If their content makes you feel like crap, you don’t need it.
Step 4: Cleanse Your Energy
Not to go full witchy on you (but, okay, yes to go full witchy) — your vibe matters.
Salt baths – The ultimate energetic reset.
Grounding – Get your bare feet on grass or sand.
Cut energetic cords – Release attachment to situations, people, or versions of yourself you’ve outgrown.

3 Pro Tips
Start small – Pick one area (body, space, mind, or energy) and focus there for a week before layering in more.
Cycle-sync it – Your luteal and menstrual phases are prime time for cleansing and letting go.
Don’t overdo it – More isn’t better. Support your body gently so you can actually sustain it.
