I dedicate this book to you. Trust that your higher power, in concert with nature, will transform any obstacle into a clearing of tremendous blessing. Our health struggles make us more compassionate, more sensitive and more grateful when the breakthroughs arrive.

I also dedicate this book to my family. First and foremost, my husband, Alan Smith, who wore every hat in the creation of the Hot Detox! He helped manage the recipe testing and edited every word to ensure it reached maximum clarity. He is the salt of the earth, providing nourishment, grounding and most of all great taste to this culinary joyride. You are my Alpha and Omega, and I love you forever!

My sister, Lynn Daniluk, is my great protector and without her, I could not bring my message to the world with such grace. Her consistent insight into detoxification and recipe contributions was fantastic. Here is to becoming supercentenarian wonder twins!

My mom, Elaine Daniluk, taught me so much about intuitive cooking. Thanks for all your recipe testing, love, healing and cheerleading.

My father, Neil Daniluk, shows up on an emotional level and restores my confidence in humanity. Thanks for our precious Sunday morning sessions of wise advice and sharing.

My brother and yoga instructor, Yogi Shambu (Steven Daniluk), provided a wonderful hot detox yoga flow to accompany the Hot Detox. He is my lighthouse keeper and I owe him my lucidity.

My nephews, Christian, Kaydn, Taevan, Eli, Aiden, Finn and Coltan, and nieces, Jade, Audrey, Ashlynn and Amelie, remind me that the future is so bright. Our mission to protect the environment from toxins stems from the need to provide them a safe world.

A re you ready to eat hot, comforting foods, feel a warm happy glow and look hotter than you have in years?

Let me introduce you to the Hot Detox, an incredible tool that has the potential to truly transform your life. I have seen so many people benefit from it, whether they had allergies, belly bloating, hormonal imbalance, skin disorders or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The Hot Detox works by taking stress off your digestive system until it is restored, through incorporating foods that heal and avoiding foods that can potentially be harmful.

The Hot Detox is a deep cleansing program that serves up a delicious warming menu with anti-inflammatory remedies that spark digestive vitality. Results are not obtained through deprivation, special supplements or depleting your body of its essential nutrients. You can have delicious, healing food with a balanced approach over 3, 10 or 21 days instead of a crash diet or fast that will leave you jonesing for sugary or fried junk food. Plus, following the Hot Detox offers you the opportunity to lose weight, improve your skin and boost your mood, ensuring you look smoking hot!

The Hot Detox embraces the ancient wisdom of India and China, applying the time-tested practice of warming up the bodys core. Many detox programs are created in California or other consistently warm climates where consuming cold smoothies, juices and raw salads is desirable and healthy. But when it is cold outside, a standard cold detox program does not support you. It may cause you to feel run down, slow your metabolism or aggravate a digestive condition.

Whether you live in a warm or a cool climate, utilizing the heat of a warming diet is the key to alleviating many common concerns such as IBS, low immunity, hormone imbalance and chronic pain. And for those who live in a warm climate, have a hot constitution or suffer from a fiery inflammatory condition such as dermatitis, the cooling superfoods recommended in this book will balance the menu to ensure great results.

My Detox Story

I come by detoxification very naturally. When I was young, I spent every summer with my grandmother and was intrigued by her commitment to cleanse. She was a follower of Dr. Paul Bragg, a health advocate who began his work in the 1950s. For 50 years, until she was well into her 80s, my grandmother detoxified a few days a week. This allowed her insulin receptors to become fully primed so that when she went back to regular food it was metabolized very easily. At 94, her blood sugar was incredibly balanced, with the insulin sensitivity of a person half her age. Her skin was silky smooth and her hair stayed dark and strong.

Since those summers with Grandma, I have explored the most popular methods of detoxification. I have done water fasting, the lemonade master cleanse fast, the macrobiotic brown rice cleanse, the cold juice fast, the kichadi cleanse, the candida diet, the gallbladder flush, parasite programs, herbal cleanses and even an extreme Ayurvedic cleanse with a saltwater purge. Sadly, the more extreme cleanses left me depleted, which primed my gut for inflammation. Water fasting doesnt provide any protection from the free radicals that are produced through the process of metabolism. The lemonade master cleanse sent my blood sugar flying only to crash an hour later, and after a week on the fast, my mouth was full of canker sores and my moods erratic. The brown rice cleanse was too high in carbohydrate and was so incredibly boring that I binged at the end. Cold juice fasting taxed my digestive fire and left me with indigestion.
