This episode is raw, honest, and straight from the heart. I’m sitting down with my husband—who is three years out of beating stage 3 colon cancer and 10 rounds of chemo—to talk about the 10-day heavy metal and parasite cleanse we just completed together through Sanctuary Wellness.This detox was physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging, and we didn’t do it for weight loss or aesthetics. We did it for long-term health, cellular healing, and as a reminder of what our bodies are capable of—especially after everything my husband has overcome.We share why we chose to do this now, what surprised us (including passing parasites 😳), and how this experience brought us even closer as a couple. There’s no fluff, no “this changed our lives” claims—just a real conversation about healing, doing hard things, and what health means to us now.Plus, a rapid-fire segment you won’t want to miss: who was more dramatic, what food we craved most, and what we’ll never do again 😅If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to go through a detox, or how couples can support each other through deep healing, this episode is for you.Sanctuary Holistic Wellness - 10 Day DetoxDo you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?
