Dual Detox: Energetic & Physical Cleansing with Intuitive Wellness & Nutritional Practitioners
When I first started working with clients on their health journeys, I kept noticing something: people would clean up their diet, start taking the right supplements, and still feel stuck. Their nutritionist would be scratching their head because everything looked good on paper. That's when I learned that true detoxification isn't just physical—it's energetic too.
Why Physical Detox Alone Isn't Enough
Your body stores more than just physical toxins. Every unprocessed emotion, every stressful experience, every time you swallowed your words instead of speaking up—all of that gets stored in your tissues as stuck energy. You can eat clean and take all the right supplements, but if you're carrying years of emotional residue, your body can't fully reset.
Think of it this way: your liver might be working overtime to filter out environmental toxins while your solar plexus chakra is clogged with unexpressed anger from a decade ago. Both are real. Both affect your health. Both need to be addressed.
How Nutrition and Energy Work Address Different Layers
Nutrition Response Testing and working with a dietitian help you identify what your body needs physically. They can pinpoint food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, and exactly which supplements will support your detox pathways. This is crucial foundational work.
Intuitive Wellness Sessions work with the energetic dimension. We identify where emotions are stuck in your body, what chakras are blocked, and what generational patterns might be affecting how your body processes and releases what it doesn't need.
Here's what happens when you combine both approaches:
Your nutritionist identifies that your liver needs support
In our session, we discover you've been holding onto resentment (which energetically affects liver function) and work to release that pattern.
Your dietitian creates an anti-inflammatory meal plan
We address the root chakra blocks that are keeping your body in a state of fight-or-flight, which triggers inflammation no matter what you eat.
Nutrition Response Testing shows heavy metal toxicity
We work with the energetic component—releasing the fear or trauma that might be keeping your body from letting those toxins go.
The Energetic Side of Food
Not all food with the same nutritional profile affects you the same way energetically. This isn't woo-woo—it's about how different foods interact with your energy system.
Root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets grow downward into the earth. They carry grounding energy that helps when you're feeling scattered or anxious. If your root chakra is blocked, these foods do double duty: they nourish your physical body and support energetic grounding.
Leafy greens and herbs like basil, mint, and cilantro have lighter, uplifting energy. They can help shift stagnant energy and support mental clarity. When you're feeling heavy or stuck, these foods can help create movement on both physical and energetic levels.
This doesn't replace nutritional science. It adds another layer of understanding to why certain foods make you feel certain ways beyond their vitamin content.
When Detox Gets Complicated
If you're someone who's tried multiple detox protocols and keeps hitting a wall, there's often an energetic component that hasn't been addressed.
I see this frequently with clients who:
Start a cleanse and immediately feel worse (detox reactions, yes—but sometimes it's also emotional material surfacing)
Can't seem to release weight no matter what they do (physical metabolism matters, but so do energetic blocks around safety and protection)
Experience digestive issues that don't respond to dietary changes alone (your gut is your second brain and holds a lot of emotional material)
This is when bringing energy work into your detox protocol can shift everything.
What Dual Detox Looks Like in Practice
Let's say you're working with a Nutrition Response Testing practitioner who has you on a liver cleanse protocol. You're taking the supplements, eating the recommended foods, and doing everything right.
In our Intuitive Wellness Sessions during this time, we might:
Work with your liver's energy center to help it release stuck anger or resentment
Address any fear patterns that are keeping your body in stress mode (which inhibits detoxification)
Clear your lymphatic system energetically to support physical drainage
Release generational patterns around what's "safe" to let go of
You're not choosing one or the other. You're addressing your detox from both angles, which creates exponentially better results than either approach alone.
How to Work with Both Practitioners
The key is communication. When you start working with me, I'll ask what other practitioners you're seeing and what protocols you're on. If you're doing a physical detox, I'll structure our energy work to support that process.
You don't need everyone in a room together, but it helps when your practitioners know you're taking a comprehensive approach. Most nutritionists and dietitians I've worked with appreciate having the energetic component addressed—they've seen too many clients struggle despite doing everything right physically.
What to tell your nutrition practitioner:
"I'm also working with an energy practitioner to address the emotional and energetic aspects of healing. Just wanted you to know I'm taking a holistic approach."
Most will be supportive. If they're not familiar with energy work, you can explain that you're addressing stress patterns and emotional blocks that might be affecting your physical health.
Your Next Step
If you're currently working with a nutritionist or dietitian and feeling like something's still missing, or if you're about to start a detox protocol and want to address all the layers, Intuitive Wellness Sessions can complement that work.
We'll work together to identify what's stuck energetically and release it in a way that supports your physical detox process. Many clients find that when they address both dimensions, they finally get the breakthrough they've been working toward.n your connection to Earth's nourishing energy
