THE DETOX PROTOCOLS

Understand Why Your Body Feels Stuck— And What It Actually Needs to Heal

We offer education-based nutrition guidance for people dealing with chronic fatigue, detox reactions, inflammation, and stubborn symptoms that won't resolve.

THE PROBLEM

If you've been dealing with:

Persistent fatigue that rest doesn't fix
Inflammation that shows up everywhere
Weight that won't budge no matter what you try
Worsening reactions to supplements or detox programs
Food sensitivities that keep expanding
Brain fog that makes everything harder

...and you've already tried elimination diets, detox cleanses, functional medicine protocols, expensive supplements, and pushing through with willpower—

You're not failing. Your body is doing exactly what it's designed to do.

Who I Am:

I'm Ann-Marie Gunn, providing education in holistic nutrition to help you understand the root causes behind why conventional health approaches aren't working—and what your body actually needs instead.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING

When your body detects ongoing danger—from toxins, infections, chronic stress, nutrient depletion, or past trauma—it shifts into a protective state called the Cell Danger Response (CDR).

This is a survival mechanism where your cells prioritize defense over everything else:

Mitochondria slow down energy production to conserve resources
Detox pathways back up to avoid releasing stored toxins the body can't handle
Inflammation increases as an immune defense
Metabolism stalls because fat loss and repair aren't survival priorities

Your body isn't broken. It's protecting you.

But when this state persists for months or years, you feel stuck—trapped between wanting to heal and a body that won't cooperate.

NUTRITION EDUCATION

Nutrition is one of the primary ways we communicate safety and support to the body. Understanding how food interacts with metabolism, detox capacity, and cellular energy allows for more informed and adaptive processes over time.

The Detox Protocols offers nutrition education that helps individuals understand how nutrients, food quality, timing, and context influence the body's ability to regulate energy, inflammation and detoxification. Through personalized educational sessions, you'll learn how to make food-related decisions that align with your current needs and biological capacity - rather than following rigid rules or one-size-fits-all plans,

DETOXIFICATION CONSULTING

Detoxification is not a single protocol or product - it is an ongoing biological process that depends on energy availability, nutrient sufficiency, and the body's sense of safety. When these systems are overwhelmed, detox symptoms may arise rather that resolution.

The Detox Protocols provides education and supportive guidance around how the body naturally clears waste through the liver, gut, bile, lymph, kidneys and skin. The focus is on understanding detox capacity, reducing unnecessary burden, and supporting the systems involved - so the body can regulate detoxification in a more sustainable and tolerable way.

CIRCADIAN REALIGNMENT

Circadian biology governs how the body produces energy, clears waste, repairs tissues, and regulates metabolism across a 24- hour cycle. Light exposure, darkness, sleep timing, and daily rhythms send powerful signals to mitochondria and influence how the body prioritizes repair versus survival.

Circadian realignment education at The Detox Protocols focuses on helping individuals understand how modern lifestyle factors - such as artificial light, irregular schedules, and disrupted sleep - can interfere with these biological signals. By learning how to better align daily habits with natural light-dark cycles, clients can support mitochondrial function, detox processes, and overall metabolic resilience.

WHY MOST APPROACHES BACKFIRE

When your cells are in survival mode, your body doesn't have the capacity to:

Process aggressive detox protocols
Utilize high doses of supplements
Release stored fat safely
Repair tissue damage
Respond to fasting or calorie restriction

That's why:

Detox cleanses make you feel worse, not better
Supplements stop working or cause reactions
Restrictive diets lead to more food sensitivities
Pushing harder just depletes you further

The problem isn't effort. The problem is biological capacity.

Healing requires your body to feel safe enough to shift out of defense mode—and have the metabolic resources to actually complete the processes of detoxification, repair, and restoration.

THERE'S A DIFFERENT WAY

Real healing requires understanding how four interconnected systems work together:

Cellular Safety • Metabolic Energy • Detox Pathways • Circadian Alignment

Through education in holistic nutrition and whole-body systems, I help you understand:

Why your body went into survival mode in the first place
What's overloading your detox systems and keeping you stuck
How to restore metabolic capacity so your body has the energy to heal
How to support your body's natural processes through nutrition, lifestyle, and circadian alignment

I don't diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or promise specific outcomes. I can't heal you—only your body can do that.

What I provide is education, information, wellness recommendations, and guidance to help you make informed decisions about food, supplements, and daily habits that align with your body's current capacity.

ABOUT ANN-MARIE:

I hold a Master's Degree in Holistic Nutrition and have completed advanced training from the Functional Nutrition Lab in Whole Body Systems and Functional (Root-Cause) Nutrition. I'm a Professional member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP) and a CellCore Biosciences Practitioner.

My work focuses on education—providing information and wellness recommendations concerning nutrition, not medical diagnosis or treatment.

I created The Detox Protocols because I saw too many people suffering through aggressive protocols that ignored their body's capacity to handle them. Real healing isn't about forcing the body—it's about creating the conditions where healing can happen naturally.
