Frequently Asked Questions
What does “detox” mean?
The practice of detoxification or removing toxins has long been cultivated in medical and spiritual traditions. For ages, ancient civilizations have used bloodletting or leeches to remove the toxic “humours” in the body, whether they originated from blood, bile, or phlegm. The ancient Indian medical system known as Ayurveda included a practice of panchakarma, or using sweating, herbs, oils, and massage for bodily purification. In spiritual traditions, fasting, sweat lodges, and giving up certain foods or eating at certain times has been implemented as part of belief systems.
In the 21st century, detoxification has taken on many meanings, from alcohol and drug detox to purging the body of environmental contaminants like heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic), plastics, phthalates, and pesticides, to name a few. There are many modalities proposed to help facilitate the release of these toxins. For example, nutrition has been presented as a means of encouraging the release of these toxins.
The Whole Detox program includes nutrition, meditations, affirmations, yoga movements, and visualizations to facilitate the removal of toxins from body, mind, and spirit.
Why do we have to “detox” if our bodies are already capable of getting rid of toxins?
In today’s world, we are bombarded with more chemicals than ever. It’s been estimated that there are 80,000 chemicals in our environment, not including the toxins we make inside of us from stress, inflammation, or dysbiosis (gut microflora imbalance). The fact is that we aren’t all created equal when it comes to being in balance and healthy.
Every organ in the body has mechanisms in place for getting rid of toxic waste, but some organs carry much of the weight, like the liver, kidneys, gut, skin, and lungs.
If our livers are congested with fat, we are not going to have proper function of liver enzymes to get rid of toxins. We may also have different functioning of these liver enzymes depending on our genetics.
If we aren’t drinking enough water or drinking impure water, we won’t be able to harness the power of the kidneys to excrete the toxins through the urine.
If we are constipated or have an imbalanced gut microflora, we won’t be passing toxic metals through our body efficiently.
If we aren’t sweating through the skin because we are not exercising, we won’t be getting rid of multiple chemicals we are storing inside of us.
And, if we aren’t taking deep breaths and if we are living in polluted areas, chances are we are impeding the lungs ability to exhale out particulates.
All in all, knowing what we know now about the body and the environment, it doesn’t make good biological and biochemical sense to not focus on detox because we are already detoxing. Each of us is different in our capacity to cleanse. An accumulation of toxins and lack of nourishing inner support of mind, body, and spirit could be at the root of our symptoms.
Who is detoxing recommended for?
Depending on the detox, it can be for everyone. It’s a good strategy for people to do Whole Detox who have symptoms that they cannot seem to solve on their own and for which there are no defined medical solutions for, such as fatigue, joint pain, unexplainable weight gain, gastrointestinal upset, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, poor sleep, skin breakouts, bloating, pain and inflammation.
Why 21 days?
Whole Detox is 21 days long to give the body, mind, and spirit a chance at a full resetting and, furthermore, to establish long-term lifestyle change. It has been said that it takes 21 days to change a habit.
Why don’t most nutritional detoxes last?
Most programs lead to only a temporary fix and reduction in symptoms. There are three reasons why sustained results aren’t obtained for most people: (1) the programs don’t deal with the whole body; (2) they focus on what to take out, but not what to put in; and (3) they don’t lay the groundwork for success after the detox.
Why is Whole Detox different?
Most detox programs are not sustainable, while the effects of Whole Detox are deeper and transformative, leading to lifestyle changes. Whole Detox is a 21-day program designed to get to the root of why people have certain health issues and toxic barriers. It can effectively meet a person where they are at – you can personalize it to be gentle or more rigorous. It provides personalized options for wellness, from recipes to journaling to physical movement to mind-body practices such as affirmations, guided imagery, and meditation. Because it’s personalized and offers a buffet of options that are all impactful, the reader can decide what they most need to do and where Whole Detox will be most effective in their lives . Truly, Whole Detox is a full-spectrum approach to lifestyle change by healing the whole self, and not just a part.
How do you define toxins within Whole Detox?
Anything that is in the way of health, including environmental chemicals, toxic thoughts, emotional baggage, a stressful job, or a dead-end relationship.
What are the Seven Systems of Health?
Because Whole Detox uses the Seven Systems of Health to assess the participant’s body, lifestyle, psychology, and foods. These systems are associated with 7 parts of an individual:
- The ROOT system of defense, survival, and safety
- The FLOW system of emotions, creativity, and relationships
- The FIRE system of transformation, thoughts, and confidence
- The LOVE system of self-care, service, and circulation
- The TRUTH system of verbal expression, choice, and authenticity
- The INSIGHT system of wisdom, intuition, and intellect
- The SPIRIT system of spirituality, meaning, and purpose

Praise for the Whole Detox Program
“A BIG thank you for the detox experience. I am truly grateful for the support, information and motivation to get back ‘on track’ with my eating, thinking and living. Every detox I do with you is like a lifeline. I am always so pleased I have gone through with it, invigorated and inspired to bounce back into life.” – B.
“This detox was a total gift that I wish could continue forever! I have learned a lot about my own body and I’ll keep the magnificence rolling!”
“This Whole Detox gave me the community setting and support that I guess I needed just at the right time to reset my whole self after a super tough year. My body, mind and spirit have been bathed in a truly loving light and I am so grateful.”
“This Whole Detox has been more of an emotional awakening for me that a food cleanse. It has truly awakened some creativity in me that I squashed down as I did not have the time. I’m finally ready to face myself off of a podium. I realized that more facets into this life of mine! I am shedding my skin right now. It feels so good!”
“I see so many pieces that have deeper connections for me. I would like to thank you because this Detox, Deanna Minich is bringing me to a level of healing of my heart that I did not expect. It feels good to feel my earth be light and happy at a deeper level than it has been for a few years. I did not realize how much pain I was holding on to since my daughter’s death.”
“The word ‘detox’ has always concerned me. It has so many commercial meanings that often produce methods and personnel trying to make a quick buck out of vulnerable people desperately seeking an answer to their inner searching. The extraordinary spiritual power created by Deanna’s program brought me so many answers as well as creating a wellness through the wonderful recipes that can be taken far into the future. With the confidence gained by the questions within the Workbook I leave the time greater, stronger and more spiritually wise than when I started. Vive la detox!”
“I found the great rainbow of colors and all the great variety of the foods in all the recipes made a great change for me as it added to my imagination and inspired me to make varied meals instead of relying on several favorites. I can feel the benefit this has on my body – and my mind enjoys participating too!”
“This has been such a pleasure, I have got so much out of the Facebook group, the wonderful imagery and the daily motivation. The detox has been so wonderfully powerful and I really feel already that I am strong and able to speak my truth!”
“In the last detox, I gave myself a RAINBOW MAKEOVER. Noting the areas of my life that needed balance, I brought in a rainbow of colors to remind me to give attention to ALL of me, not just the parts of me I connect with most. I can say that after half of a year living in a rainbow of color, my Whole Self is so much more balanced and I am feeling this wave of happiness and contentedness.”
