5 Day Detox 

I’ve experienced both ends of this spectrum. The times where I’ve been left in the dark, waiting for answers that felt like they would never come. And the times—thanks to Initio Medical Group—where I’ve had access to timely, detailed PET scan results that not only shaped my treatment plan but gave me a level of mental peace I can’t even fully put into words.

They’ll tell you the statistics. They’ll tell you the expected time frames. And if you ask about alternative or integrative approaches, the mainstream, allopathic perspective often says: “There’s no strong evidence that will change the outcome.”

When I began to detox my lifestyle, one of the first places I looked was my bathroom. The average person uses 12 personal care products a day—and most of them are loaded with ingredients we’d never intentionally put on our skin if we knew what they were.

When I was first diagnosed with cancer, my world flipped. I began acting on the questioning and awareness I created over years. Everything I put in and on my body and give to my family matters to me. It's really been since being diagnosed that I started to really see the danger in microplastics—tiny particles that seemed harmless but are now showing up in our blood, breast milk, and organs.

Let’s talk about one of the most misleading phrases in the beauty industry:“Dermatologist tested.” It sounds safe, approved, even clinical—right? But here’s the truth: the term is unregulated and doesn’t guarantee safety, quality, or clean ingredients. It simply means a dermatologist was involved in some way, not that the product was tested for long-term health or hormonal safety.
