I was on a major Pinterest tear looking for a Whole30-friendly, cozy beef stew to make while I was on my cleanse earlier this year.
For those that don’t know, I did a 45 day cleanse after it was recommended to me by my chiropractor, Dr. John, from Archetype Health. The cleanse was focused on 7 key exclusions:
- No dairy
- No gluten
- No sugar
- No processed food
- No coffee
- No alcohol
I did the cleanse because (in Dr. John’s words), I needed to dampen inflammation and stabilize my glucose and also give my body a rest from the many things we consume in our modern diet. Many of y’all know, I did Whole30 every January for many years as a way to hit the reset button and reprioritize clean eating.
While I don’t commit to Whole30 every January anymore, I believe the combo of FASTer Way To Fat Loss along with intermittent fasting, and an occasional cleanse can take the place of the annual Whole30. This allows me to not be as restrictive and since I am all about BALANCE (in all areas of life), I tend to gravitate to this approach in my health journey.

My friend Laura, from Walking In Memphis In High Heels, shared with me the best crockpot recipe. For my FWTFL ladies, it was made with you in mind! Her Sweet Potato & Sausage Crockpot Hash just sounds amazing, especially as the temps drop and fall begins! Click HERE to get her recipe!
Let me get back on track… During the 45 day cleanse, I wanted something hearty, healthy, full of real foods, nothing processed, nothing with crazy ingredients, and something I could easily throw into a crockpot to save me time! Don’t we all need a shortcut in the kitchen?
