Detox Culture Is Lying to You: Why Cleanses Can Make Women Worse (and What to Do Instead) with Eva Hooft

Modern motherhood can make "detox" feel like the answer—especially when you're exhausted and convinced you just need the right protocol to get your body back. Eva Hooft unpacks why the do-more, cleanse-harder mindset can keep women stuck, and how real healing starts with safety, not force.
