Detox & Nutritional Cleansing:
How I Healed My Body While Releasing Over 400 Pounds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fueling the body. Quieting food noise. Rebuilding from the inside out.
By Coach Kenya Elliott
For years, my body was not starving — it was overloaded.
Overloaded with trauma, inflammation, emotional eating, stress hormones, medications, and constant digestive strain. When I reached nearly 600 pounds, my body wasn’t failing me — it was screaming for relief.
That’s when I learned one of the most important lessons of my life:
Weight loss is not just about eating less.
It’s about helping the body release what it no longer needs.
This is where nutritional cleansing and detox support became a foundational part of my healing — not as a fad, not as a crash cleanse, but as a structured, repeatable lifestyle tool that helped me lose over 470 pounds naturally while restoring my health.
What Detox & Nutritional Cleansing Really Means
Let’s be clear — detox is not about starvation, laxatives, or extreme restriction.
True nutritional cleansing is about:
Supporting liver and gut function
Reducing inflammation and toxic load
Improving digestion and nutrient absorption
Quieting food noise and cravings
Allowing the body to burn fat more efficiently
When the body is overwhelmed, weight loss stalls. When the body is supported, fat release becomes possible.
That is why detox and cleansing have remained a non-negotiable pillar in my personal journey and in the programs I now coach.

The Exact Detox Tea I’ve Used for Years
One of the simplest yet most powerful tools I used — and still use — is my daily detox tea protocol. This tea supported my digestion, hydration, inflammation reduction, and appetite regulation while I followed structured nutrition and movement.
Below are the two versions I personally use and teach today.
🌿 Coach Kenya’s Detox Tea – Isagenix Version
This is my primary, therapeutic version, used during nutritional cleansing days and throughout my weight-loss journey.
Ingredients
1 scoop Cleanse for Life (Isagenix)
1 scoop Ionix Supreme (Isagenix)
3 tablespoons Von Bee Honey Citron & Ginger Tea
1 mint leaf (optional)
4–6 oz warm water (or over ice)
How to Prepare
Add Cleanse for Life and Ionix Supreme to warm water
Stir until fully dissolved
Add Von Bee Honey Citron & Ginger
Finish with mint if desired
Sip slowly — preferably in the morning or early afternoon

Helps stabilize blood sugar and cravings
Reduces inflammation and bloating
Promotes calm focus and digestive relief

🍋 Coach Kenya’s Budget-Friendly Detox Tea (No Isagenix)
This version is perfect for those easing into cleansing or working within a tighter budget.
Ingredients
Fresh lemon juice (½ lemon)
1–2 tablespoons raw honey or Von Bee Honey Citron & Ginger
Fresh ginger slices or ginger tea
1 mint leaf (optional)
Warm water
How to Prepare
Steep ginger in warm water, add lemon and honey, stir, and sip slowly.
What This Supports
Gentle digestive cleansing
Hydration and appetite regulation
Reduced sugar cravings
This version is supportive, but the Isagenix version offers deeper therapeutic benefits for structured weight-loss programs.
Why Detox Alone Is Not Enough
Here’s the truth most people miss:
Detox without structure leads to rebound weight gain.
That’s why I never used detox alone. I paired it with:
Structured nutrition
Protein pacing
Mindset coaching
Resistance training
Low-impact movement
Accountability
In my journey, detox worked because it was part of a system, not a standalone solution.
The Full System That Changed My Life
Alongside nutritional cleansing, I used:
Structured meal plans
Resistance bands to protect joints and build muscle
Vibration plate workouts to improve circulation and fat metabolism
Therapeutic coaching to heal emotional eating and food addiction
This is the same framework I now teach inside my 12-Week Transformation Programs.

This Is Not a Diet. It’s a Reset.
Detox and nutritional cleansing helped me:
Release inflammation before releasing weight
Relearn hunger and fullness cues
Quiet obsessive food thoughts
Support my body instead of fighting it
And most importantly — it taught me that my body wanted to heal once I gave it the tools.
Final Word from Coach Kenya
If you’re stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or frustrated — it may not be about willpower.
It may be about support.
Start with nourishment. Start with cleansing. Start with structure.
And remember:
You don’t need to punish your body to lose weight.
You need to partner with it.
With love and leadership,
