"Are you done with your cleanse yet?" my friend asked me last month. "And can you eat again?" I laughed and said, "This is a forever cleanse! And I'm still eating, just not everything."

"Ground control to Major Tom," every morning, as I pop my aminos, I can't help but croon Bowie's lyrics and imagine I'm fueling my body with some space-age nutrition. These little wonders never fail to fill me up, even on my busiest mornings or when I'm stuck in traffic. Trust me, keeping a bottle of superfood super aminos protein pills handy is a game-changer.

Every year for the past decade, I've embarked on a significant detox after the holidays. The period from Halloween to New Year's is usually filled with wayyyy too many indulgences, leaving me eager to reset. However, by spring, I usually find myself slipping back into old habits.
