Why Fasting and Detox Teas Backfire After the Holidays

from A Cup of Dri: Fitness Thoughts from My Car to Yours · host Adriana Mastronardi

I’m sharing a real client conversation that highlights what not to do when the scale jumps and your body feels off. We talk about water retention, stress, cortisol, and why fasting or using detox teas after overeating only makes things worse. This episode is about stepping out of the panic cycle, letting your body do what it’s designed to do, and rebuilding trust instead of trying to undo or punish yourself. If you’re stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset right now, this one’s for you.
