Let me start by saying this. I’m not doing this detox to lose weight. I do not have any issues with my weight. I’m doing this because exactly one week ago I got a call from my doctor with my regular pap smear results. She informed me I have “abnormal” cells in my cervix.
Now of course my jaw dropped when I heard this! She immediately calmed me down and said the cells are NOT cancerous. I caught my breathe. However she wants to get a second opinion, she wants me to get a biopsy. I couldn’t believe it then and still can’t believe it now. I’ve always gotten my Yoni Exams as scheduled and I’ve never had an issue with an exam. They’ve always come back just fine. But I understand one of the main purposes of a pap smear is to ensure you do not have cervical cancer or any issues with your yoni. She called in the referral that day…
I was ready to have a Pity Party. I’m a healthy 53 year old woman. I work out 3-4 days a week, I’m conscious about what I eat (ok, I do have an occasional weakness for Del Taco), and I live an active lifestyle. I’m currently training for The Mudrun competition. It will be in Los Angeles in September.
This news just didn’t sit well with my spirit. I’m happy to say my Pity Party only lasted about three minutes! I told myself: “Girl, you GOT this! Make the necessary changes in your diet now and the biopsy will be negative.”
Like I said, I’m conscious about what I eat. I knew one of the best ways to combat this issue with my cells was to get back on my juicing. It had been a while- ok, a long time since I used my juicer. I jumped in the car and headed straight to Trader Joe’s. Loaded up on blueberries, kale, and all the good stuff.
Then I thought- Detox! I knew exactly who to call! Obea Moore. Obea’s business is Wellness, and I’ve done his detox in the past. It was seven days back in the day. Now it is fourteen days. I placed my order and the rest is history.
The detox is to the point. Easy to do.
Boil the herbs for two hours to make the tea.
Drink 8oz of the tea twice a day.
Take three capsules of herbs midday.
Simple enough. I can do that. He also gave me a meal plan to follow, and it’s pretty similar to how I already eat. I’m ready to get this started! I will miss Del Taco and an occasional glass of wine. Clearly this is more important. I’m being realistic and honest with myself about deciding to do a detox. It can be a mood changer! Some days I may feel great, others not so much lol. I know I will crave everything I can’t have. I know there will be some battles and challenges to say the least.
So follow along for this short journey! Be inspired to detox as well! If you’re a woman, please stay on top of your Yoni health. I felt fine the day of the exam and still feel fine now. But had I not had my regular exam, I never would have known there could be a potential issue. Our health is everything!
