  • Grains and beans may be nutritious, yet their starch can complicate insulin resistance or gut problems.
  • Removing potentially problematic foods first creates a clearer baseline for later reintroduction.

  • Mark Hyman describes sugar and starch cravings as biological drives involving withdrawal, preoccupation, and disrupted brain chemistry.
  • His detox targets those cravings by removing sugar, starch, and ultra-processed foods while adding protective foods.
ADVICE

  • Try a ten-day reset even if symptoms seem normal, because fatigue, bloating, brain fog, aches, and puffiness may feel ordinary.
  • Improvement after removing trigger foods can reveal a healthier baseline.
