But do we really need expensive detox drinks, cleanses, and supplements to get rid of them? In this Love the North conversation, Dr. Josie Poulin and pharmacist Rachelle explain how the human body naturally processes and eliminates unwanted substances through the liver, kidneys, digestive system, and lungs. The surprising part? Supporting your body's natural systems may have more to do with what you stop doing than what you start taking. Consider how often we heat food in plastic containers, drink from disposable water bottles, eat heavily processed foods, or use household products without thinking about their ingredients. Small changes can make a meaningful difference. Choosing glass or stainless steel instead of plastic, eating more whole foods, staying hydrated, getting enough fibre, and exercising regularly are practical ways to support overall health. The conversation also draws a fascinating comparison to Sudbury's environmental recovery. Once industrial pollution was reduced and damaged land was restored, nature began recovering. Could the same principle apply to our daily health? Reduce unnecessary exposures and give the body what it needs to function properly. The message isn't to fear everything around us or buy another miracle product. It's to become more aware, make one manageable change at a time, and recognize that sometimes better health begins with doing less. #LoveTheNorth #NaturalDetox #HealthyLiving #WomensHealth #NorthernOntario #WholeFoods #HealthyChoices #Sudbury
