Why Parasites Could Be a Missing Piece in Your Health Journey

Hey there! How are you? I hope you’re having an amazing week. Earlier this week, Kristi and I had a fun photo shoot and podcast recording. I’m super excited to share more about our adventures soon!

But today, I want to dive into an important topic: parasites. If the mere mention of it makes you squirm, I totally get it—it used to scare me too! Let me assure you, this isn’t medical advice, just my personal experience. So grab a snack if you haven’t eaten already, because we’re talking parasites!

What Are Parasites and Why Should You Care?

When I first learned about parasites, I didn’t realize how profoundly they could affect my energy, digestion, immune system, and even my mood. Only after going through my own parasite cleanse did I truly understand its transformative potential. It was equal parts gross and fascinating—seeing long-legged critters leave my body was surreal. But trust me, it’s better out than in, right?

Having guided clients through their own parasite cleanse journeys, I’ve witnessed incredible breakthroughs. Today, I’ll share why parasite cleansing is crucial, common mistakes to avoid, and a free downloadable cheat sheet to support your own journey.

How Do You Know If You Have Parasites?

You don’t need to travel abroad or have food poisoning to have parasites. Many of us unknowingly live with them, and symptoms like chronic gas, fatigue, skin issues, allergies, sugar cravings, sleep disturbances, and unexplained weight fluctuations could be signs of a parasitic infection. What’s even more alarming is that parasites aren’t confined to your gut—they can inhabit your organs, lymphatic system, and even your brain!

What to Do Before Starting a Parasite Cleanse

One lesson I learned the hard way: preparation is key. Here’s what you need to know before diving in:

• You need to be regular: Ensure you’re having bowel movements daily. Otherwise, when parasites die off, their toxins won’t leave your body, exacerbating symptoms.
• Commit to a 2-month protocol: Parasites lay eggs, and a short cleanse can make matters worse if you stop too soon. Quick fixes like full-moon parasite cleanses aren’t effective—they often lead to more eggs being released.
• Detox support is essential: As parasites die, they release toxins like heavy metals, yeast, and mold. Supporting your body’s detox pathways is critical.

Detox Support Essentials

• Sweating (e.g., using a sauna blanket)
• Daily movement
• Lemon water with sea salt
• Hydrogen water
• Liver support (e.g., milk thistle, dandelion root)
• Dry brushing
• Castor oil packs
• Supporting glutathione production

Why Preparation Matters

Before starting a parasite cleanse, I recommend completing a functional medicine detox. This 7-21-day protocol helps reduce your toxic load, opens detox pathways, and makes your parasite cleanse more effective. Check out the detox program here and use code FITNESS903 for a discount.

Remember: Parasite cleansing isn’t a quick fix—it complements your overall health journey. It’s a powerful tool to boost energy, digestion, immunity, skin health, and more. If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, parasites might be the missing piece.
