The Programme, week 4: Nutritionist's comments on Jessica
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Matt Lovell: Along with much of the rest of the population, Jessica is going on a formal detox for the whole of January. Some people prefer February for this – it's a shorter month.
So once again, no booze or caffeine and doing some form of food exclusion work very well in order to give the system a rest. Avoiding wheat and bovine dairy is actually not at all difficult, and even if someone is not formally allergic or intolerant, following such a procedure increases their food vocabulary and thereby supplies a broader cross section of nutrients.
Good herbs to assist the detox process include garlic, ginger and turmeric. Also systemic detoxification can help through exercise and saunas – skin brushing and so on. One of the best books to look for when considering a wheat-free and dairy- (bovine) free diet is Cooking Without, by Barbara Cousins.
