Episode 43: The Detox Mistake Sabotaging Your Healing — The Missing Drainage Step

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things for your health — eating well, taking supplements, trying detoxes — but still feel exhausted, inflamed, or stuck, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Jennie Anderson, founder of Enriched Nest, to unpack one of the most overlooked foundations of healing in midlife: drainage before detox.Jennie supports busy moms and women who want real root-cause answers and sustainable healing — especially those who’ve been told their labs look “normal” but don’t feel normal at all. Her work focuses on identifying and relieving the stressors that keep the body stuck, using a food-first, whole-body approach rooted in functional nutrition and targeted lab testing. In this episode, we talk about:Why detoxing without supporting drainage can backfireHow blocked drainage pathways impact hormones, energy, and inflammationWhy midlife women often feel worse when they “add more” instead of addressing foundationsHow a gentle, step-by-step approach can help the body heal without overwhelmThis conversation is empowering, validating, and incredibly practical — especially if you’re navigating perimenopause or midlife and feel like your body isn’t responding the way it used to. About JennieJennie Anderson is the founder of Enriched Nest, a functional nutrition practice supporting busy moms and women who want real answers and long-term healing.
