Many foods can stimulate some detox (or cleaning) processes in the body. That’s why you’ll want to know how to detox your system with these foods.

Garlic
Garlic seems to find its way onto just about any health food list because it is beyond distinction in the world of medicinal food. Garlic is loaded with sulfur which has amazing health properties. It’s is extremely anti-fungal, which can help control candida or other fungal overgrowth in the stomach that can cause illness and disease. Some of them are so dangerous that they can make easier for you to get cancer, so garlic is definitely something you want to add to your diet.

Basil
Herbs are some of the most useful plants in existence. Early medicinal practitioners used herbs to cure all kinds of diseases, and while much of what they believed was shrouded in superstition, the medicine still helped people. Today, science has given people answers as to why and how these little plants can help people fight infections. In its concentrated form, basil essential oil, it can be used to kill infection and well as topically soothe inflammation resulting from an attack.

Flaxseeds
These interesting seeds are super popular in the natural health community. They are a great source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. This makes them a great aid to digestion, skin health, and helps fight off aging brought on by oxidative stress. One of the best things about flax seeds, is that they can help carry toxins out of the body by attracting them on the cellular level. This makes them a great way to get an energy boost, and timely, proper elimination.

Broccoli
This green wonder contains a high amount of nutrients that are necessary for human development, but the real value of broccoli is that it can help your liver to break down toxins. This is likely a reason why it has been associated with having a long life. A liver that carries less toxins is under less stress.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.
