Why I Stopped Doing Fall Detoxes (and What I’m Doing Instead for a Real Reset)

Every fall, the internet is flooded with “7-day detoxes,” “juice cleanses,” and “quick reset diets.” And every year, I tried them—hoping that clearing out my pantry and drinking another green blend would clear out the stress, overwhelm, and heaviness I was carrying inside. But here’s the truth: fall detoxes only scratched the surface. They never touched the parts of me that were really crying out for a reset—my mood, my energy, and my ability to feel like myself again. That’s why this year, I’m saying no to the old detox cycle and yes to something deeper: a New Me Reset Challenge that works from the inside out.

The Problem with Traditional Fall Detoxes

Detoxes often promise quick results, but what they rarely deliver is lasting change. I would finish the plan, maybe feel lighter for a few days, but soon enough I was right back to feeling tired, irritable, and stressed. The problem wasn’t my diet alone—it was the fact that I was trying to fix a whole-life problem with a one-week solution. Have you ever felt that way? Like you’re running from problem to problem, hoping the next reset will be the magic answer? I realized I didn’t need another detox. I needed a full-body, full-mind reset.

Why the New Me Reset Challenge Is Different

This fall, I’m taking a different approach. Instead of focusing on restriction or deprivation, the New Me Reset Challenge is about adding in what my body and mind actually need. It’s built around clinically studied nutrition that supports the gut-brain connection—the very system that influences mood, motivation, energy, focus, and resilience. Instead of counting calories, I’m fueling my body in a way that helps me feel alive again. Instead of draining my willpower, I’m building sustainable habits that stick long after fall is over.

Reflection Questions for You

• What do you really want to feel different about this fall?

• Are you tired of quick fixes that never last?

• What would it feel like to not just reset your body, but reset your energy, your mood, and your outlook on life?

Take a moment to sit with these questions. If you’re like me, the idea of a true reset goes way deeper than a seasonal detox. It’s about showing up for yourself in a way that finally sticks.

How the Reset Works

The New Me Reset Challenge combines simple daily habits with science-backed wellness packs that support the gut-brain axis. These aren’t random vitamins or another cleanse kit—they’re natural, award-winning products designed to help you feel better from the inside out. Think: brighter mood, sharper focus, calmer stress response, and more consistent energy. Add in a few daily lifestyle tweaks, and you’ve got a plan that resets you, not just your menu.

Your Invitation to Reset

If you’re tired of running from problem to problem, and you’re ready for a reset that actually lasts, I’d love for you to join me. The first step is simple: take the Mental Wellness Quiz. It only takes a few minutes and gives you personalized insight into what your body and mind are really craving right now.

Take the Quiz and Explore the Reset Packs

This fall doesn’t have to be another round of the same old detox. It can be the season you finally reset your whole self and step into the energy, clarity, and joy you’ve been waiting for.

I stopped doing fall detoxes because they weren’t giving me what I truly needed. This fall, I’m choosing something different—something deeper. And if you’re reading this, maybe it’s your time too. The New Me Reset Challenge isn’t about restriction. It’s about freedom. Freedom to feel good in your own skin, freedom to wake up with energy again, and freedom to finally stop chasing temporary fixes. Are you ready to reset with me?

Centuries-Old Ingredients in a Modern World — Backed by Science for Mind, Heart, and the Gut-Brain Connection

Some can never be replaced — like the plants, herbs, and nutrients people have been using for centuries to support mood, energy, and hormone balance.

The difference now? We have modern science showing why these centuries-old ingredients may work and how they can be used in a daily routine for better mental wellness, gut health, and stress resilience.

As a Certified Mental Wellness Coach, I help women figure out where to start when they want improved focus, balanced hormones, steady energy, and fewer “ugh” days. Over and over, I’ve seen that it’s not about just trying “one thing” — it’s about supporting all three of your brains:

• Mind (head brain) for thinking, focus, and creativity

• Heart (heart brain) for emotional balance and stress management

• Gut (gut brain) for mood, hormone balance, digestion, and immune support

When you give each brain the right kind of natural support, everything works together — and you feel more like yourself again.

The Mind — Nootropic Support for Focus and Clarity

Your mind thrives when you nourish it with nootropics, natural brain-supporting ingredients, that help maintain focus, memory, and mental clarity while protecting brain cells from everyday stress.

• Saffron – Helps maintain a positive mood and supports mental focus without overstimulation.

• Pine Bark Extract – Supports working memory, cognitive performance, and mental clarity.

• Mango Leaf Extract – Promotes mental energy and helps reduce occasional fatigue.

• Lychee Fruit Extract – Helps the body manage normal cortisol levels and supports skin appearance.

• Palm Fruit Bioactives – Supports brain plasticity, learning, and memory.

• Gotu Kola – Supports calm focus without the crash.

The Heart — Adaptogen Support for Stress and Emotional Balance

Your “heart brain” is closely tied to your stress response and emotional resilience. Adaptogens are centuries-old herbs and mushrooms that help your body adjust to everyday stress and maintain balance.

• Ashwagandha – Helps manage normal cortisol levels and supports deep, restorative sleep.

• Rhodiola – Supports endurance, mental performance, and resilience during stressful times.

• Cordyceps – Helps maintain stamina and supports healthy oxygen use in the body.

• Shatavari – Traditionally used to support hormonal balance and vitality for women.

• Kanna – Supports a calm, uplifted mood and helps maintain motivation during stress.

The Gut — Psychobiotic and Prebiotic Support for the Gut-Brain Connection

Your gut plays a huge role in mood, hormone balance, and immune health — and it’s a key part of the gut-brain connection. Supporting the beneficial bacteria in your gut with psychobiotics and prebiotics can have a ripple effect on your mental wellness, stress resilience, and overall vitality.

• Clinically Studied Probiotic Strains – Certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains help support mood, stress resilience, and healthy sleep.

• Prebiotic Fibers – Feed beneficial gut bacteria, help maintain healthy cortisol levels, and support mental clarity.

• Beta-Glucans – Support balanced immune function, which is closely connected to mood and overall well-being.

Why This Matters for Women in Midlife

If you’ve noticed shifts in mood, focus, energy, or sleep, especially during perimenopause or menopause, supporting all three brains can help you:

• Handle stress more effectively

• Keep hormones steadier

• Improve sleep quality

• Boost natural energy without caffeine crashes

• Feel more like yourself again

It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about giving your mind, heart, and gut the right support every day.

Your Next Step

This is where I come in. My job isn’t to throw 10 bottles of supplements at you and hope something works. I help women choose the right starting point based on what their body is asking for — mind, gut, heart, or all three.

If you’re curious which “brain” needs the most love right now, I have two easy ways to help you figure it out:

• Take my “What’s Your Stress Type?” quiz for a quick, personalized starting point. (Screenshot or write down your results and watch for an email directly from me.)

• Download my Finding Happy guide to see how these centuries-old ingredients can fit into a daily routine that supports your mind, heart, and gut.

Your three brains are always in conversation. When you feed them the right way, you’re not just getting through the day — you’re thriving.
