My goodness! Thank you so much for replying! I see that, as you said, this is a much older article, and I know that studies and information can change a great deal over time. I hope I did not cause offense. It certainly was not my intention. <3 <3 <3
With that said, I can honestly say that your articles have helped me avoid being excessively restrictive in my own diet and that they have helped me begin to view myself in a much more positive way.
Thank you so much for all that you do!

Hi Christina! So glad you enjoy what you’ve read here on the blog. I’m certainly someone who doesn’t promote detoxes, especially for dancers, as they tend to be extreme and unnecessary. That particular “detox” drink is made of juices and spices and wouldn’t cause someone harm if they were incorporating it with a balanced and sufficient eating plan. That being said, I would not have knowingly provided a resource from someone who supports Autism Speaks.

I wrote this article in 2016. My own positions on certain approaches to nutrition and health have evolved quite significantly since then. I’ve updated the link to share some homemade electrolyte drinks. You’ve also inspired me to go back through the archives and make edits to reflect my current beliefs and knowledge.

Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention and I hope you keep reading!!

Thanks, Shelby! I’m so glad it’s helpful and I agree – it’s so important yet not always prioritized!
