FitGirl Pick of the Month I am a huge advocate of adding natural juices into your daily diet. Specifically the kind that contains fresh kale, spinach, beets, apples, ginger and more. When asked to try a liver cleanse, I thought, heck yes! Sometimes we can stress the liver through the foods we eat or the chemicals we are exposed to. I tried the Dtox 7 Day Liver Cleanse, and afterward I felt amazing. This cleanse works by nourishing and cleaning the liver through a series of juice mixtures. If you want to try this cleanse, head over to DTOX Juice and tell them FitGirl sent you. Cheers to your health! $70 per day. 3210 Roswell Road, Ste.
