Detox

Detox is a word that has been stretched until it means very little. I use it in the older sense: giving the body less to process for a while, and more room to do what it already does.

In practice that is simpler food, earlier nights, fewer things happening at once, and for women, paying attention to where you are in your cycle. It is not only about food, either. A quieter phone, and the weight you have been carrying without noticing, belong in the same conversation.

This is the work I trained in, and the part of my own life that shifted the most.
