There’s something about January that invites us to begin again. The decorations are packed away, the fridge is cleared of leftovers, and suddenly a fresh calendar stares back at us―blank, full of possibility.
It’s often in this moment that the urge to “detox” from the past year and begin anew starts to surface. For this to happen, we need only to support our bodies through their natural detoxification abilities. After all, the liver, kidneys, and gut are brilliant detox machines, and what they need is not restriction but nourishment.
That’s where food comes in. A smart reset isn’t about deprivation; it’s about abundance. It’s about loading your plate with ingredients that are rich in antioxidants, fibre, healthy fats, and clean protein.
This plan is built with that in mind: six vibrant recipes that will fuel your energy, support muscle health, calm inflammation, and leave you feeling lighter without leaving you hungry.
