The lovely Megan Gilmore\\u2014perhaps better known as the popular health food blogger \\u201cThe Detoxinista\\u201d and author of Everyday Detox\\u2014sat down with me to share her fascinating journey from fast food junkie to green smoothie goddess.

In her earlier days of searching for a healthier lifestyle, Megan tried a variety of extreme detox diets but found she would always yo-yo back to fast food or binge eating. Now a certified nutritionist consultant (CNC) with years of experience under her belt, she\\u2019s settled on a more moderate \\u201ceveryday detox\\u201d approach that keeps her on track and works for her whole family.

More real food, more veggies, more sleep. That\\u2019s\\xa0a detox that\\u2019s doable!

Everyday Detox for Your Best Health

So what does it mean to \\u201cdetox,\\u201d really? That word can certainly take on a host of meanings in the health world.

Megan defines it as eating nourishing foods that support the body\\u2019s natural detox functions. And this makes so much sense. Every day we are exposed to toxins, many of which are beyond our control, creating a burden on the body. Everyday detox means also taking in, every day, those foods that best\\xa0support the body\\u2019s design for purification, digestion, and elimination. (Basically, green veggies!)

This creates a sustainable, ongoing detox.

Everyday Detox for Your Best Family

I especially love\\xa0Megan\\u2019s openness about the challenges and joys of being a mom and entrepreneur. She even developed the fast and easy recipes in her new No Excuses Detox\\xa0cookbook\\xa0while babywearing. (I can so relate!)

Because we\\u2019re both multitasking moms, we speak the same language\\xa0when it comes to cooking. The ingredients in her cookbook are easy to find and steps kept to a minimum\\xa0\\u2026 because of course even health-conscious moms don\\u2019t want to live in the kitchen!

We both have a deep love for the Instant Pot, big batch cooking, and \\u201csneaking\\u201d veggies into recipes so kids don\\u2019t even know they\\u2019re there. (And let\\u2019s face it, sometimes we grownups need to hide the taste of certain veggies too!)

Everyday health eating can\\u2019t help but influence the whole family for the better. And family is very much Megan\\u2019s focus.
