Rating wellness trends I’ve actually tried… Part 2 👀

Some of these I swear by… some of them are a hard no. Here’s my honest rundown:

Tongue Scraping 10/10: One of the lowest-effort habits with the biggest impact. Your tongue holds bacteria, toxins, and residue from digestion; scraping helps your breath, oral microbiome, and digestion.

Greens Powders 4/10: They can be a nutrient bonus, but they’re not a vegetable replacement. Many are under-dosed, some are poorly absorbed, and none replace minerals from real food. Use them sparingly as an add-on, not a foundation.

Dry Brushing 7/10: I genuinely love the ritual, but most people do it wrong. If you don’t open your lymph nodes first, you’re basically brushing stagnant fluid around. Done correctly, though, it’s great for lymph flow, circulation, and skin texture.

Blue-Light Blocking Glasses10/10: Unmatched for protecting your circadian rhythm. Blocking blue light at night helps your body naturally produce melatonin, fall asleep faster, and wake up without that wired-tired feeling.

Juice Cleanses 0/10: Spiking blood sugar while calling it a “detox” is wild. Your liver detoxes 24/7… it needs protein, minerals, and real meals to do that. Save your money, eat balanced meals, and use other modalities to actually detox.

Colonic Hydrotherapy 6/10: Controversial but common in deeper detox protocols. I’ve done it once, wild experience, and you MUST go to a reputable clinic. Not something I’d do often, but I do understand how it’s used in healing settings.

Acupuncture 11/10: I never loved acupuncture until I found the right TCM practitioner. She helped me resolve daily hives, intense neck pain, and even picked up on things like anemia without me saying a word. When you find someone skilled, it’s unreal how deeply they understand your body.

Let me know which of these you’ve tried!? And what do you want to see in Part 3? 👀
