Tracy Erin Talks
About all things health, wellness, mindset, and motherhood…my favorite topics. Well, and tacos. Let’s talk about those too.
Join me for an honest conversation as we muse and amuse ourselves; where nothing is off the table and what we’re after is an exponential personal growth curve. Here you will find a refreshing and authentic way to look at things. Most days you’ll find a really warm hug and on somedays, a swift kick in the reality pants. But it’s all in love, dear friend, rest assured.
This is not a “look at me, but come with me” conversation where we will take a real-life look at things like:
🌱 Health & Wellness topics such as hormones, fatigue, low energy, mood swings, brain fog, toxicity, mold illness, the healing journey, and so much more.
🧠 Mindset is a highly-underutilized tool on any journey. Knowing that our inner world creates the environment of our outer world, we’ll talk about what holds us back from living the lives we know we were meant to live.
💝Motherhood will forever be my most profound and satisfying life’s work. As a homeschooling mom of five kids, I’ve been there, done that, AND got the t-shirt. I love chatting about the practicalities of managing a home, shepherding hearts, and how to create a family culture you’re proud of.
My mission is to transform 5,000 women’s lives by balancing their hormones so they can get out of survival mode and feel like themselves again!
If you’re looking for your new “Health BFF” who who has the curiosity to ask the big questions, the determination to find the answers, and the ability to find humor in it all, you are in the right place and I’m so glad you’re here!

Ep. 31 The Power of a Functional Medicine Liver Detox: Why You Need It & What to Expect
Main Topic:
- Tracy introduces the concept of a Functional Medicine Liver Detox, explaining:
- Why we need it: The liver is constantly overloaded due to toxins from daily life (air, water, food), stress, and other factors.
- What a detox does: Supports the liver and other detox organs (kidney, colon) with essential nutrients.
- What it helps with: Reducing toxic burden, balancing moods, improving energy, skin issues, and even weight loss.
Signs Your Body Needs a Detox:
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Digestive distress (bloating, gas)
- Trouble sleeping
- Skin issues (eczema, rashes)
- Insatiable sweet tooth or carb cravings
- Weight gain or inability to lose weight
What to Expect During a Detox:
- Benefits: Reduced body fat, weight loss, clearer skin, improved digestion, deeper sleep, better mood balance, and enhanced liver and gut function.
- Supports the liver with key nutrients to convert fat-soluble toxins to water-soluble, aiding detoxification.
- What it looks like: Shakes for the first two days, followed by whole foods (plant proteins, clean meats, wild fish) for the remaining days.
Practical Detox Guidelines:
- No eating out during the detox (to avoid temptations and cravings).
- Focus on whole foods, eliminating processed grains, sugars, and refined products.
- Take daily detox supplements (morning and evening capsules) and follow meal plans.
Who Should and Shouldn’t Do the Detox:
- Who should: Anyone wanting to improve health, lose weight, or start a gut health protocol. It's a perfect reset!
- Who shouldn’t: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 18, people with diagnosed liver/kidney disease, gallbladder conditions, appendicitis, or eating disorders.
Detox Length Options:
- 7-day, 14-day, or 21-day options, with Tracy recommending starting with 7 days.
- Quarterly detoxes are ideal for maintaining liver health and overall wellness.
Key Takeaways:
- Detoxing is essential due to modern toxin exposure from plastics, heavy metals, EMFs, processed foods, and more.
- Regular detoxing keeps your body functioning optimally, enhances digestion, and reduces toxic burden.
- Join Tracy’s quarterly liver detox program for a community-supported journey to better health.

Quote to Remember: “Detoxing the liver is like cleaning out a dirty air filter. When you support the system, it can do its job better.”
