00:00You get some cardio, you're pumping it up, you're just getting it out there, your sweat's flying, your hair's flying, my glasses don't fly because I've got these nifty little things on them.
00:11Hey Naturally Curly World, I'm Grace.
00:12I'm Gerilyn.
00:13I'm April.
00:14And this is the best ever.
00:16The best ever.
00:17And this is the best ever ways to detox.
00:20In recent years, I feel like detoxing and like doing a cleanse, like a juice cleanse, like a detox, like I'm only going to drink.
00:29Wheatgrass shots, people have been diluting themselves into thinking that that's helpful for your body at all.
00:35I have news for you, a juice cleanse is not that good for you, dude.
00:39Because I'm a skeptic and also because I read, I know that my liver detoxes myself for me.
00:47So we're good there.
00:49However, I think that it's very possible that we need to detoxify ourselves emotionally.
00:54So when I've got all that gunk floating around in my head and I just want to scream, I go ahead and do it.
01:02But, caveat, I do it and I'm moshing.
01:05My best ever way to detox is to go to H-E-B and grab myself a box of liver cleanse or a box of spirit cleanse, a box of fix your life, get it together cleanse in the form of tea bags.
01:23What I like to do when I'm feeling like my gut isn't very happy with me or I'm feeling like, ooh, I've been eating too much junk food and I'm just not feeling great, I really like to drink kombucha.
01:36You feel just the heartbeat of the music, you're rocking out together, but even if you're by yourself and, and, I do live on the second floor, so I tend to do it a little bit more stationarily, just headbang it out a little and not cause a disturbance because I'm cool like that.
01:53Typically what I do in order to make sure that all of these things work is I heat up my tea pot and I pour the hot water over the bag and I let it steep, you know, you cover it, I let it steep and then I take it off, put a little bit of honey, a little bit of lemon in there and I take a few sips.
02:17It tastes a little vinegary, but it's basically fermented tea and it has live cultures in it.
02:24And the reason that's so good for your gut is because it helps the good bacteria that help break down food grow in your gut and it helps you digest things a lot better.
02:34So if you're having tummy issues or you're just not feeling good, it's probably because your gut biome is unhappy.
02:42If I don't feel that the detox is working, if I don't feel my pores and my spirit being cleansed, I have to put in another additive to make sure that the detox is working and that's Jack Daniels.
02:56So you can drink kombucha, you can eat Greek yogurt or yogurt with live cultures, kimchi is fermented, sauerkraut is fermented.
03:06So all of those foods are really going to help your body grow a happy gut and happy guts lead to happy people.
03:15So I'm going to put my Desiree, my Sade, my Whitney Houston aside.
03:19Actually, no, not Whitney Houston.
03:20I'm going to put my Desiree and my Sade aside and you get out your fast paced, pump them up stuff.
03:26You get Whitney Houston's I Want to Dance with Somebody.
03:29You get Janet Jackson's Together Again and you just work it out.
03:34I really don't feel like the detox teas are really hitting their optimal level of detoxification until there's whiskey in there.
03:44Because the whiskey, it sweetens the tea, all right?
03:48If you do it just right, it'll create sweat, okay?
03:53It will cleanse your pores.
03:56It will cleanse, I mean, depending on how much of it you put in the tea, it will cleanse your mind.
04:04Basically, anything that you like that has the live cultures is a great addition
04:31to the eating clean and hydrating method of detoxing.
04:35As you guys can see, it's like, I'm all smiley, I'm all hyper, I'm ready to go kick a bear in the face.
04:41I could run to the moon.
04:43I don't even care.
04:44So yes, that is my best ever way to detox.
