How Do I Know If I Actually Need a Detox? The Signs Your Body Is Telling You

Dr. Mark Hyman explains how common symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and cravings may signal that your body is reacting to foods you eat, even if you think your diet is healthy. He walks through the design of his 10-Day Detox, a short-term dietary reset that removes common inflammatory triggers to help you observe how food affects your energy, mood, and digestion. The episode covers what to expect during the first few challenging days, which foods to temporarily eliminate, and how to systematically reintroduce them to identify personal sensitivities. The goal is not weight loss but self-knowledge — learning to connect what you eat with how you feel.
