Detoxing: My Journey Through 5 Different Methods (And What I Learned)

Detoxing has become one of the most popular trends in health and wellness, but is it really as effective as people claim? With social media influencers, celebrities, and even friends swearing by various detox methods, it can be hard to know what works and what doesn’t. I decided to put five different detoxes to the test to see if they’d help me feel refreshed, energized, and “cleansed” as promised. Spoiler alert: detoxing isn’t just about your body—it's also about your mind and lifestyle!
Misconceptions About Detoxing
Before I jump into my experiences, let’s clear up a common misconception: your body is already really good at detoxing itself. Your liver, kidneys, skin, and lungs all work hard every day to eliminate toxins from your body. So why do we feel the need to detox?
Much of it comes down to social media and the pressure to look and feel a certain way. It’s easy to see a friend post about a juice cleanse and think, “I need to do that too!” But often, feeling sluggish or bloated isn’t a sign that you need a detox—it could just mean you need to adjust your diet, get more sleep, or manage your stress levels. While detoxing can be a useful way to reset your habits, jumping into extreme cleanses without understanding your body’s needs can leave you feeling worse, not better.
With that in mind, here’s what happened when I tried five different detox methods.
The 5 Detox Methods I Tried
1. The Juice Cleanse
Juice cleanses are probably the most famous detox method out there. They promise to help you feel lighter, more energized, and “cleaned out.” For me, it didn’t go quite that smoothly. By the end of day one, I was hungry—really hungry. I had intense cravings for solid food, and my energy levels dropped. Although I did feel a bit lighter by the end, it wasn’t without some serious mood swings and irritability. The takeaway? Juice cleanses can be tough and may not be worth the hype unless done with a clear understanding of your body’s needs.
2. Herbal Detox Tea
Herbal detox teas are marketed as gentle, natural cleansers for your body. I expected it to be relaxing, but instead, I found myself constantly running to the bathroom! It felt like my body was working overtime. While it did help with hydration, the experience was a little overwhelming, and I’m not sure if it actually did much in terms of detoxifying my body. For those considering detox teas, I’d recommend being cautious—especially since some brands contain strong laxatives that can be hard on your system.
3. Detox Water
Detox water, where you infuse water with fruits, herbs, and sometimes vegetables, is a trend that’s all over Instagram. It’s refreshing and makes staying hydrated a little more fun. I enjoyed sipping on it throughout the day, but to be honest, I didn’t notice any dramatic changes in how I felt. Detox water is great for flavoring your daily water intake and keeping you hydrated, but don’t expect it to work miracles.
4. Digital Detox
The digital detox was by far the most interesting method I tried. For a week, I stayed off social media, avoided unnecessary phone use, and focused on being present. At first, I felt disconnected—like I was missing out on something. But as the days went on, I started to enjoy the break. I spent more time reading, cooking without distractions, and going for walks. By the end of the week, I felt mentally lighter and less stressed. This detox made me realize how much I rely on my phone and how much more present I can be in my daily life when I unplug.
5. Food Elimination Diet
The food elimination diet was the most challenging of all the detoxes. I had to cut out dairy, gluten, sugar, and a few other common allergens to see if any were causing issues like bloating or fatigue. It was hard to give up my favorite foods, but by the end, I learned that I have a mild intolerance to dairy. This information has been incredibly valuable, helping me make smarter food choices moving forward. For anyone dealing with digestive or energy issues, a food elimination diet can be a helpful tool for understanding your body better.
What I Learned From My Detox Journey
The most surprising thing I learned was that detoxing isn’t just about what you put into your body—it’s also about what you let into your mind. The digital detox, in particular, opened my eyes to how much time I waste on my phone and how much better I feel when I take a break from it. Detoxing can be a holistic experience, one that helps you reset your habits and reconnect with what really matters.
The juice cleanse? It was tough and probably not something I’d do again. The herbal tea and detox water were fun but didn’t produce any noticeable results. The food elimination diet taught me a lot about my body’s needs, and the digital detox was a game-changer for my mental well-being. Ultimately, detoxing isn’t just about removing toxins—it’s about creating balance in your life.
