The Detox Warrior → Ruan Detox Warrior Journey
At Ruan Living, we call you a Detox Warrior — someone already curious, already awake to the limits of conventional wellness, and ready to step through the Ruan portal into a new dimension of empowering awareness.
The 40-Day Home Detox™ program is your next chapter — the journey that refines a Detox Warrior into what we call a Ruan Detox Warrior: someone trained to identify and navigate Household Repeat Offenders™ with wisdom, discernment, and harmony.
A Ruan Detox Warrior is never striving for perfection — but loves to grow, evolve, and refine, while practicing compassion and alignment with the natural seasons and rhythms of health, life, energy, and growth.
It is someone who sees
how all ecosystems are connected,
how exposures move across spaces, systems, and environments,
how every choice creates ripple effects,
how the future is shaped in the present,
and how small, conscious shifts transform outcomes across generations.
By the end of this journey, you’ll understand why we say:
Once a Ruan Detox Warrior, always a Ruan Detox Warrior.
The Paradigm Shift of Practical Nontoxic Living™
People often assume nontoxic living means restriction or perfection.
Practical Nontoxic Living™ is none of those.
It is about:
- discernment — knowing what matters most (and what doesn’t)
- simplicity — reducing unnecessary complexity
- joy + convenience — protecting what warms your heart and provides healthy relief
- intentional change — shifting only what you don’t mind shifting
This approach honors beauty, comfort, modern life — and is informed by research fields such as epigenetics, without prescribing how anyone should live.
When a Health Editor Turns the Lens on Her Own Home
In this in-depth video conversation, DailyMail US Deputy Health Editor Alexa Lardieri reflects on what happened when she stopped reporting on environmental health stories — and began examining her own home through the lens of the 40-Day Home Detox™.
As a journalist immersed in health research, Alexa was well-versed in conversations surrounding environmental exposures. What surprised her was how revealing it felt to apply a structured, step-by-step framework to her everyday routines — and how quickly patterns she had never questioned came into focus.
In this interview, Alexa shares:
- what prompted her to take a closer look at her own environment
- how guided observation changed the way she thinks about products and routines
- why focusing on patterns — rather than perfection — made the process feel manageable
- what stood out most about the 40-Day Home Detox™ experience
The conversation offers a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective from a health editor experiencing the process personally — thoughtful, candid, and grounded.
Watch the video playlist below to hear Alexa share her experience in her own words. You can also listen to Alexa in podcast episodes 86-89 and 107 of Practical Nontoxic Living™.
Your Home Is a Living System
Your home is not just shelter, a backdrop, or a place where life happens.
It is a dynamic ecosystem — one that quietly shapes your daily experiences through air, light, materials, products, routines, and rhythms.
Over time, these everyday inputs influence how supported, rested, focused, and at ease your life feels — often without you realizing it.
When you begin to see your home as an active environment rather than a passive container, something shifts. Awareness sharpens. Priorities clarify. And decisions start to feel natural, intuitive, and aligned — not forced or overwhelming.
This is not about fear or perfection.
It is about learning to live with intention, within the systems you inhabit every day.

The 3-Stage Evolution For Lasting Change
Your 40-day journey unfolds in three deeply considered stages:
Discover → Detox → Design
Each stage builds on the last — refining perception, habits, and intuition through science, structure, mindfulness, and practical wisdom.
Every element has purpose.
Discover helps you see clearly.
Detox helps you choose deliberately.
Design helps you live it — over time.
1. DISCOVER
See Your Baseline Clearly
Understanding your starting point will help you create sustainable changes. Begin with a grounding audio, a welcoming video, and your Discover Workbook. Together, they help you start noticing:
- the patterns and signals forming your current baseline
- unconscious routines shaping your toxic exposures
- the subtle ways your home shapes your daily experiences and indoor environment
- early insights that anchor all decisions that follow
The work in Discover becomes the foundation of your Ruan Detox Warrior lens — not only during the program, but as you redesign your future baseline in the Design stage.
2. DETOX
Repattern Your Home & Habits With this 30-Day Mindfulness Practice
If Discover begins revealing your unconscious patterns, Detox is where more of them are uncovered — and where you start gently repatterning them.
Powered by the LOLA POP Detox Method™, you'll practice observing Household Repeat Offenders™ through the lens of Practical Nontoxic Living™. Not through fear, urgency, or alarm — but through a structured, sensory, science-informed practice that makes change feel natural.
This is not upheaval.
This is recalibration.
3. DESIGN
Where Your Future Takes Shape
This is not redecorating.
It is the practice of becoming an architect of the future you are creating — shaping conditions, routines, and spaces with clarity and care.
In this stage, you design:
- home environments that reduce unnecessary chemical, heavy metal, EMF, and plastic exposures
- daily habits that default toward simpler, safer choices
- systems that make lower-exposure living feel intuitive, not effortful
- spaces that support consistency, clarity, and long-term alignment
- a lifestyle framework that carries forward as your life evolves
This is where your earlier work creates space for something more intentional: a home and lifestyle consciously designed to support how you want to live — now and as your future unfolds.
The Practical Nontoxic Living™ System
Your Personal Reference Manual, In Practice
Throughout the 40-Day Home Detox™ experience, you’re supported by a thoughtfully designed structure that combines interconnected workbooks, daily guidance, and flexible practices — all working together to support steady, realistic change.
At its core is a Reference Manual you actively personalize as the journey unfolds.
- In Discover, it functions as a mirror — helping you observe patterns and establish clarity.
- In Detox, it guides daily practice through the LOLA POP Detox Method™, supports room-by-room tracking, and helps you make informed decisions around Household Repeat Offenders™.
- In Design, it becomes the place where insights, expert perspectives, and priorities are integrated into a clear, personal plan you can return to and refine over time.
What follows is a closer look at how this guidance unfolds across the three stages of the journey — Discover, Detox, and Design.
The journey begins with Discover
— the stage that establishes clarity, awareness, and direction for everything that follows.
1.
DISCOVER
See Your Baseline Clearly
This stage becomes an illuminating mirror — revealing the often invisible patterns shaping your daily life, routines, and environment.
This is the moment when a Detox Warrior begins to notice how frequently subconscious habits drive choices and exposures — and how much clarity becomes possible when awareness and intention align.
This reflective clarity does more than show you where you are today. It opens a doorway toward a more supported, intentional, and life-affirming future — defined on your own terms, and shaped with discernment rather than pressure.
Before any change becomes sustainable, awareness has to feel personal.
Why Discover Matters
Discover doesn’t tell you what to do.
It awakens what you want to do.
It turns subconscious habits into conscious choices.
It replaces intellectual pressure with genuine desire.
It allows change to feel:
- natural
- self-directed
- grounded
- personal
- sustainable
- desired
The clearer your baseline becomes, the more intuitive future decisions tend to feel — especially in the Design stage, where your new “normal” begins to take shape.
Inside the Discover Workbook
Discover is experienced through guided reflection and inquiry inside the Discover Workbook. Each section is designed to support awareness without pressure, diagnosis, or perfection.
Discover Your Brands
A revealing exploration of your unconscious consumer patterns — what you choose, why you choose it, and how those choices reflect (or contradict) the person you are becoming.
Discover Your Signals
A guided exploration of everyday environmental exposures and commonly reported sensitivities — inviting careful self-observation around patterns many people associate with chemicals, fragrances, and other household inputs, approached with curiosity rather than conclusions.
This section helps you notice correlations in your environment and routines without diagnosing, labeling, or trying to fix anything — building awareness that supports more intentional decision-making later in the journey.
Discover Your Lifestyle
A clear snapshot of your daily routines and rhythms, illuminating unexpected opportunities for meaningful shifts that feel realistic and sustainable.
Discover Your Commitment
No pressure. No perfection.
Just an honest, compassionate assessment of what feels possible right now — and how that aligns with the direction you want to move.
Discover Your Why + Letter to Your Future Self
A powerful identity anchor. Future-self reflection is a research-supported approach to lasting behavior change, and this exercise often becomes one of the most emotionally resonant moments of the journey.
The Detox Warrior Agreement
Your North Star — simple, grounding, and clarifying. A personal commitment that defines what matters most and how you intend to move forward.
Discover Your Breath
An “I am becoming” breathing and reflection practice designed to slow your pace, steady your focus, and help you engage change with patience, presence, and trust in the process.
With a foundation of awareness in place, the journey moves into the Detox stage
— where observation shifts from inward to outward.
2.
DETOX
Re-pattern For The Future You're Creating
Here, attention turns to everyday environments and routines. Using the LOLA POP Detox Method™, you begin identifying Household Repeat Offenders™ in specific areas of your home and life. Along the way, supportive tools help you notice patterns, clarify decisions, and organize what comes next — laying the groundwork for the Design stage that follows.
The LOLA POP Detox Method™
The core of the Detox stage is the LOLA POP Detox Method™ — a methodical yet flexible practice that brings structure, awareness, and intention to the process of reducing everyday environmental exposures.
Within the 40-Day Home Detox™, this framework guides attention toward six common Household Repeat Offenders™, inviting thoughtful engagement rather than reactive change.
LOLA POP™ functions as the asana practice of the program.
Just as a yoga practice cultivates presence through repetition, structure, and breath, LOLA POP™ builds discernment through daily micro-actions — allowing habits and environments to shift gradually, without force.
It is:
- systematic
- grounding
- clarifying
Inspired by the stabilizing qualities of classical ashtanga — yet intentionally more adaptable — LOLA POP™ emphasizes:
- sensory engagement
- repetition that supports lasting change
- clear, progressive structure
- intentional alignment
- compassion for imperfection
This is not intensity.
It is consistency.
Not urgency — but attention.
Through this steady, sensory, research-informed practice, Detox Warriors learn to approach change with patience and clarity, allowing homes and daily routines to evolve with greater intention over time.
What the LOLA POP Detox Method™ Cultivates
The LOLA POP Detox Method™ is designed to help you:
- cultivate awe and curiosity
- remain centered as familiar habits resurface
- move at a pace that supports lasting, lower-exposure routines
- develop intuitive discernment through lived experience
- honor real life — without disruption or rigidity
- build momentum without urgency
- allow patterns to shift through steady, multi-sensory engagement
This is where detoxing becomes a mindfulness practice — not something you do to your life, but a way you learn to be with it more intentionally.
Over time, the experience naturally begins to shift:
- fear → curiosity
- overwhelm → micro-focus
- guesswork → clarity
- urgency → grounded pacing
- confusion → discernment
- perfectionism → sustainable progress
- “I should change” → “I want to change”
To keep the work focused and sustainable, the LOLA POP Detox Method™ is applied to six everyday categories
— the Household Repeat Offenders™.
Which Household Repeat Offenders™ Will You Focus On?
Rather than attempting to “detox your entire home,” the Detox stage concentrates on six everyday categories that tend to repeat across households and routines.
These Household Repeat Offenders™ represent predictable patterns — areas where products, materials, and habits show up again and again, quietly shaping daily environments over time.
As you explore each category, many people are surprised by how layered they are — and how naturally old patterns begin to come into view when attention is applied with curiosity rather than urgency.
The deeper you look, the clearer your priorities tend to become — making future choices feel more intentional and less overwhelming.
This approach is focused.
It’s manageable.
And it’s designed to support steady, realistic change.
Cleaning Products
HOUSEHOLD REPEAT OFFENDER 1
Cleaning products are frequent contributors to indoor environments, as they are used often and may contain ingredients such as ammonia, chlorine bleach, and added fragrances.
In this stage, the LOLA POP Detox Method™ guides you to examine the cleaning products you already use, understand common ingredient categories, and explore alternative options that align more closely with your preferences for lower-exposure, thoughtfully formulated products.
Self-Care Products
HOUSEHOLD REPEAT OFFENDER 2
Beauty and personal care products often include ingredient categories such as synthetic fragrances, parabens, and phthalates. Because these products are applied regularly and directly to the body, they represent a common area of focus during the Detox stage.
Using the LOLA POP Detox Method™, you’re guided to review the self-care products you already use, recognize recurring ingredient patterns and common marketing claims, and explore alternative options that align more closely with your preferences for lower-exposure, thoughtfully formulated products.
Fragranced Products
HOUSEHOLD REPEAT OFFENDER 3
Fragranced products — such as air fresheners, scented candles, and laundry detergents — are commonly used to shape the sensory experience of a home. These products may include fragrance formulations that rely on a range of chemical ingredients, some of which are not individually disclosed on labels.
Because fragranced products are often used repeatedly and released into shared spaces, they represent another common area of focus during the Detox stage.
Using the LOLA POP Detox Method™, you’re guided in identifying where fragranced products show up in your home, learning how fragrance is typically formulated and marketed, and exploring alternative options that align more closely with your preferences for lower-exposure, thoughtfully designed products.
RESISTANT Chemicals
HOUSEHOLD REPEAT OFFENDER 4
Many everyday household items — such as stain-resistant carpets, upholstered furniture, water-repellent fabrics, and non-stick cookware — are designed using chemical treatments intended to enhance durability and performance.
One widely discussed category within this group includes per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals,” which are used across a range of consumer products for their resistance to heat, stains, and moisture.
During this stage, the LOLA POP Detox Method™ guides you in identifying where resistant chemical treatments may appear in your home, understanding why they are commonly used, and exploring alternative materials and approaches that align more closely with your preferences for lower-exposure, thoughtfully selected products.
Harmful Colors
HOUSEHOLD REPEAT OFFENDER 5
Artificial colors and dyes are used across many everyday items — including foods, beverages, cosmetics, personal care products, home textiles, clothing, and toys — primarily to enhance appearance and visual appeal.
Because these dyes appear across multiple product categories and are encountered frequently, they represent another area of focus during the Detox stage.
Using the LOLA POP Detox Method™, you’re guided in noticing where synthetic colors and dyes show up in your home, learning how they are commonly used and labeled, and exploring alternative options that align more closely with your preferences for simpler formulations and materials.
This process emphasizes awareness and choice, allowing you to decide where visual simplicity and formulation transparency matter most to you.
Plastics
HOUSEHOLD REPEAT OFFENDER 6
Plastics are deeply integrated into modern life and appear throughout the home — from food storage and kitchen tools to furnishings, toys, and packaging.
Because plastics are lightweight, durable, and inexpensive, they tend to repeat across many household categories and routines, making them a common area of focus during the Detox stage.
Through the LOLA POP Detox Method™, you’re guided in identifying where plastics appear most frequently in your daily life, understanding common use patterns, and exploring alternative materials and strategies that align with your priorities and practical realities.
Rather than aiming for elimination, this approach supports thoughtful reduction, substitution where appropriate, and long-term awareness around how materials shape everyday environments.
This process is designed to support informed, intentional decision-making over time, without prescribing specific products, routines, or changes.
Detox Is a Practice, Not Willpower
LOLA POP™ does not rely on willpower.
It cultivates inner motivation — the kind that emerges naturally through clarity, consistency, and choice.
With each Love Test Detox Sticker you apply, decisions become simpler.
Communication becomes gentler.
And your environment begins to reflect your intentions — without friction or force.
The OLA Spreadsheet — A Quiet Superpower
This beloved tool offers something rare:
a calm, visual way to organize decisions and maintain perspective over time.
With the OLA Spreadsheet, you can:
- log and organize product information
- track Keep / Drop / Swap decisions
- surface patterns that were previously easy to miss
- plan replacements with intention
- stay oriented when momentum wavers
Rather than relying on memory or motivation, the spreadsheet gently holds context.
When old habits resurface — as they do for everyone — it brings perspective, reminding you how much you’ve already clarified, what structures are in place, which changes have endured, and what still matters most.
It becomes an anchor — not a judgment.
What the Detox Stage Truly Does
This clarifying stage brings awareness to patterns, perceptions, and unconscious choices — just as much as it brings clarity to products and environments.
It is:
- cognitive
- sensory
- emotional
- empowering
And it creates the conditions for what comes next.
With patterns clarified and daily practice established, the journey naturally opens into Design
— where insight is gathered, integrated, and shaped forward.
3.
DESIGN
Re-pattern for the Future You’re Creating
In the Design stage, you move from awareness and practice into intentional creation — thoughtfully shaping your home environment and daily habits to reflect the future you are consciously building.
This stage is guided by expert-led, educational conversations, including licensed physicians and other specialists who share research-informed perspectives across areas such as:
- nutrition and everyday nourishment
- fertility-focused dietary considerations
- endocrinology and hormone-aware lifestyle context
- personal care and beauty
- healthy interior design and furnishings
- mindful, intentional living
These perspectives are offered to expand understanding, inform decision-making, and support thoughtful design — not to prescribe care or direct individual health choices.
These expert conversations provide the connective tissue between awareness and design — offering context, perspective, and lived insight to help you translate what you’ve learned into intentional choices for the future you’re creating.

Please note: Expert conversations are shared for educational purposes.
The Purpose of the Design Stage
Reflection → Integration → Personalization → Elevation
For 31 days, you expanded your awareness, refined daily habits, and brought unconscious patterns into clearer view.
Now, Design helps you:
- reflect on what you’ve discovered
- learn from the personal choices and perspectives of masterclass experts
- integrate what you’ve learned
- refine your personal detox priorities
- create a realistic, meaningful plan for moving forward
- understand how your environment, routines, and choices work together
- begin intentionally shaping a lifestyle aligned with the future you’re creating
This stage is an exhale.
A consolidation.
A moment where clarity settles — and direction becomes clear.
Your Personalized Detox Plan
A Clear, Grounded Roadmap for Your Future
Inside the Design Workbook, you’ll create your own Comprehensive Detox Plan — not an overwhelming to-do list, but an intelligent, prioritized guide that reflects:
- what matters most to you
- which changes felt most meaningful
- what you’re ready to do next
- what can wait
- what aligns with your lifestyle, values, and resources
This plan becomes your North Star — a personal foundation for Practical Nontoxic Living™ that you can return to and refine over time.
During the Design stage, you begin designing a home and lifestyle that align with your clarified values, priorities, and lived reality
— supporting the future you’re creating for yourself and the family you love.
The Art of Designing a Supportive Home Environment
This stage is not about redecorating.
It’s about intentionally shaping environmental conditions that influence how your home feels, functions, and supports daily life.
Your body continuously interacts with the environments and routines you move through each day.
Design focuses on creating spaces, conditions, and habits that are thoughtfully aligned with the future you’re consciously creating — informed by awareness, experience, and intention rather than default patterns, guilt, or perfectionism.
By the end of the Design stage, you’ll have:
- a more thoughtfully curated home environment
- greater clarity around your priorities when shopping, cleaning, cooking, decorating, preparing for a new baby, supporting a growing family, and caring for yourself and those you love
- a deeper awareness of how your surroundings and routines interact with your daily experience
- a personalized roadmap to guide future decisions in alignment with your values and lived reality
- a living framework you can continue refining over time
This is the shift that lasts.
This is where detox becomes design.
Where design becomes lifestyle.
And where lifestyle becomes a more intentional way of living.
It’s also where your identity as a Ruan Detox Warrior begins to quietly take root — not as an endpoint, but as an ongoing practice.
After the Design stage brings clarity and direction, the journey continues with ongoing support at the D-Tox Academy — to help you apply and refine what you’ve learned over time.
