Backed by functional medicine and rooted in nutritional science, this guided 21-day reset helps your body eliminate harmful toxins while restoring vitality, clarity, and gut health.

Toxins and Detoxification

Drink this, not that. Eat this, not that. Cleanse this and that. The available information is massive and can be overwhelming. What is true and what isn’t?

There is one thing about detoxes that is universally true for all of us: our bodies are constantly detoxifying. Our liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, skin, and gut are constantly converting toxins into harmless substances, removing waste products, and preventing toxins from entering our bloodstream, while also eliminating waste products.

Our modern lives present a growing challenge: processed foods, increased pollution, pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals, and daily stress all work against our natural systems, increasing our toxic burden. Our body’s natural detoxification systems are often working harder than ever and without paid time off or vacations.

While our bodies have a natural detox system, its efficiency can be compromised by inflammation, poor diet, and nutrient deficiencies or gaps. That’s where compassionate, intentional support comes in.

A functional medicine approach focuses on enhancing your body’s natural ability to remove toxins, without relying on harsh methods or deprivation. That’s exactly what the Clean 21 program is created to do.

How the Clean 21 Program Supports Natural Detox

Our Clean 21 combines the latest research in functional medicine with powerful, plant-based nutrition to help your body reset. Here’s how it works:

1. Gentle Elimination Phase

Removes common inflammatory triggers (gluten, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar, processed foods)
Allows your liver and digestive system to rest and repair

2. Nutrient-Dense Shakes + Clean Meals

Daily shakes with protein, fiber, and targeted detox support (including MSM, milk thistle, and antioxidants)
Whole-food meals designed to support gut health and liver detox pathways

3. Supplementation for Elimination Pathways

Includes digestive enzymes, probiotics, and botanicals that enhance nutrient absorption and toxin elimination.

4. Daily Practices that Reinforce Detox

Hydration, movement, sleep, hygiene, and mindfulness have all been provided to better support the body’s natural detoxification systems.

Are There Foods that Remove Toxins from Your Body?

Eating certified organic, nutrient-dense foods is one of the most effective ways to naturally detoxify your body. Clean 21 emphasizes foods known to support the liver and cellular repair:

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts): rich in sulforaphane, support liver detox enzymes
Leafy greens (kale, spinach, dandelion): promote bile production and cellular regeneration.
Berries (blueberries, raspberries): packed with antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress
Beets: contain betaine to support methylation and liver function
Turmeric and ginger: anti-inflammatory compounds that support immune detox pathways
Lemon and Lime: stimulate liver enzymes and increase hydration

These foods work in synergy to remove toxins from the body while providing key nutrients that optimize the body's detoxification systems.

Science-Backed, Gentle Detox Without the Gimmicks

Many “detox” plans will promise overnight results through extreme fasting or liquid-only diets. The truth is that most of them are nutrient-deficient and lack any clinical evidence.

How Clean 21 stands apart:

Developed by Dr. Alejandro Junger, a board-certified cardiologist and functional medicine leader
Trusted by over a million users globally, including wellness professionals and physicians
Cited in studies supporting elimination diets, detox nutrient supplementation, and gut health restoration.

Why Detox Your Body with Clean 21 if It Already Does So?

Clean 21 isn’t just about helping your body; it has been specifically formulated and designed to help your entire body function better. You may begin to notice:

Reduced painful bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort
Increased energy, focus, and mental clarity
Clearer skin
Improved sleep
Weight loss (primarily from inflammation reduction, not calorie restriction)

Most importantly, it resets the foundation of your health, gut, and gives your liver and immune system the space they need to catch up.

Whether you’ve been feeling sluggish lately, dealing with digestive issues, or simply want a clean break from overprocessed foods, this program offers a structured, supportive, and nourishing approach rooted in science.
