Many of us have had to pivot our relationship with milk throughout our lifetime. Between the Got Milk? ads of the 90’s and the 2008 Food Inc. documentary, it is difficult to know how exactly we are expected to feel about milk.

If you have been avoiding milk, just the words “Milk Cleanse” can be captivating. 

We, at Ruan Living, were fascinated to learn that The LabElymental Milk Cleanse is a full gut reset. Jody calls milk “the vehicle” that moves toxins out of your gut, it absorbs them like a magnet and expels them through your digestive system.

The LabElymental Milk Cleanse provides you with supplements, developed by doctors, to take along with your milk. This sets the cleanse apart because your body is not in a state of deprivation, you still get all of the nutrients you need while giving your body a break from digesting. 

LabElymental reports that you are more productive, energized, and clear-minded. The LabElymental Milk Cleanse is not only for persons struggling with tick-borne illnesses, mold exposure, or other biotoxin illnesses, it can also help with brain fog. There is even something called “the milk glow” that is achieved after just 4 days of the cleanse.

Most people don't realize the connection between gut health and their overall well-being and happiness. For example, did you know that people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome are more likely to develop anxiety and depression? Researchers are finding that our gut may be sending signals to the central nervous system that trigger mood changes. For example, Jay Pasricha, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Neurogastroenterology is working to understand the links between digestion, mood, and health.

Podcast Intro

As you'll hear in this podcast, Jody Levy is passionate about so many things that it's hard to describe what she does. I would describe her as a multi-passionate entrepreneur, advisor, partner, investor, and creator. But, that doesn't even seem to do her justice. In the beginning of this podcast, you'll hear the first word she uses to describe herself, which is not one of the words I just used.

What's incredible about her is that Jody applies her wide-ranging interests and talents to making the world a better place. For example, some of her endeavors have created or supported foods, drinks, apps, and even a milk cleanse that is designed to improve our health and well-being.

On her website, Jody describes her category-disrupting brands and companies as ones that are connected to the clean living, wellness lifestyle space that empowers people to take care of themselves and optimize their happiness and purpose. She describes some of these companies as focused on biohacking, clean energy, personalized medicine, alternative wellness, sustainable fitness, clean food, and more.

One company that may be most familiar to you is WTRMLN WTR, which I see often in the grocery store. Well, Jody was the founder and chief.

WTRMLN WTR is a company and brand committed to redefining how and what we drink to nourish our bodies and sustain our ecosystem. Beyonce was such a fan that she invested! 

In this podcast, you'll also hear Jody talk about NeuroPraxis, which is a digital app featuring co-founder Lisa Wimberger’s proprietary NeuroScultping modules specifically for overcoming pain, PTSD, stress, and symptoms associated with Biotoxic exposure including Lyme Disease, Mold disease, viruses, parasites, and more. I thought this was fascinating too!

However, the product that is most highlighted in this podcast is The Milk Cleanse, which was co-created with author and integrative medicine doctor Dr. Linda Lancaster. The Milk Cleanse, which is done in 8- or 4- days and contains supplements for you to take, is designed to alleviate symptoms associated with biotoxic exposure. 

Now, when I first heard about The Milk Cleanse, I was not interested because I don't like milk and I have read a lot about the unhealthy effects of milk in adults. But, as I learned more about Jody's story, I became excited to speak to her. 

We talk about her also not liking milk, but how The Milk Cleanse helped symptoms that nothing else helped.

Jody explains that milk acts as a magnet of bad things—like bacteria, heavy metals, and other toxins. And the supplements in The Milk Cleanse help your body eliminate that bad stuff. Now, I'm really excited to try The Milk Cleanse especially after hearing how much better Jody feels after doing it.
