Do This, Detox That is a methodical, holistic search of your whole life — your thoughts, your home, your water, your plate — for the hidden toxins draining your health. Eighteen chapters that join ancient wisdom to twenty years of naturopathic practice and modern science.
Online edition — instant access after purchase. Read on any device.
The things that undermine modern health are small, invisible, and everywhere — and they quietly poison us precisely because no one is looking for them.
This book teaches you to look. Not another detox fad with a green juice and a promise, but a methodical walk through every room of your life — the inner rooms of thought, stress, and marriage; the literal rooms where fluoridated water, EMFs, heavy metals, and mold accumulate; and the kitchen, where the modern diet has displaced the foods our great-grandparents thrived on.
Mayim Vega writes it from experience. A former NASA computer scientist turned naturopathic herbalist, she began this search out of necessity — as a young mother with debilitating migraines that the medical system could scan but not solve. What she learned over the twenty years since became this book.
Most detox books sell you a protocol. This one teaches you an order of operations. The search begins with the inner rooms — because the body that keeps the score of unexamined stress and a troubled home will undo any supplement regimen — and only then moves outward to the environment, the plate, and the tools of intensive restoration.
And it refuses to overpromise. In eighteen chapters, Mayim never claims the work will cure a condition or add years to your life. She teaches what twenty years of practice and study have convinced her actually matters — drawing on teachers like Dr. Weston A. Price, Dr. Russell Blaylock, Jordan Rubin, and Dr. Richard Schulze — and trusts you with the honest version.
Anyone who suspects the modern world is making them sick and wants a sane, ordered way to respond. Mothers running households. People whose labs came back "normal" while they feel anything but. Readers of faith who want health teaching with depth behind it — and readers of no particular faith who simply want the practices. Each chapter ends with sources, and a study guide closes the book for families and groups working through it together.
No need — this book stands alone. It builds on the five-levels-of-the-soul framework from Mayim's earlier book, The Arukah Method, but explains everything as it goes. If it leaves you wanting the deeper framework, that book and the Arukah Academy are there when you're ready.
Five parts plus a study guide — a complete search of the house, inside and out.
Questions and exercises for every chapter — for individuals, couples, families, and study groups working through the search together.
One complete, ordered search of your life for what's quietly draining your health — and the tools to restore it.

How to search your whole life for hidden toxins, holistically and in the right order. The book covers the inner work of thoughts, stress, and the home; environmental toxins like fluoride, EMFs, heavy metals, PFAS, and mold; nutrition through the lens of teachers like Weston A. Price and Jordan Rubin; and restoration tools including cleansing, fasting, and orthomolecular supplementation.
No. Do This, Detox That stands alone. It references the five levels of the soul framework taught in The Arukah Method, but everything you need is explained within the book itself.
No. The book draws on ancient wisdom traditions alongside modern science, and Mayim writes from her own life and practice — but it's written for readers of any background, or none. The science, the protocols, and the practices work regardless of how you frame them.
No — and that's deliberate. Mayim refuses the hype of wellness culture. The book is educational, not medical advice, and makes no claims about specific outcomes. It teaches the work she believes matters, honestly, and lets you do it in your own life.
