NUTRITION & DETOX HIGHLIGHT
🌊 Nutrition & Detox Highlight
Why this dish supports repair, minerals, and gentle detox
This scallop poach is built around thermal restraint and mineral infusion, supporting detox through nourishment rather than stress.
Scallops:
Naturally rich inglycine, taurine, and B12, scallops support liver detox pathways, bile production, nervous system regulation, and cellular repair—especially important during detox or reset phases.
Bone Broth:
Providescollagen, glycine, and glutamine, which support gut lining integrity and phase II liver detoxification. A healthy gut barrier is essential for preventing toxin recirculation.
Sea Moss:
Adds trace minerals and iodine that supportthyroid signaling, metabolic efficiency, and cellular hydration, helping detox processes run smoothly.
Olive Oil:
Healthy fats stimulatebile flow, which is required for escorting fat-soluble toxins out of the body.
Low-Temperature Poaching (120°F):
This method prevents protein denaturation and oxidative stress, keeping the dishanti-inflammatory and energetically supportive rather than taxing.
Bottom line:
This is a deeply reparative dish that feeds the systems responsible for detox—rather than forcing detox through restriction.
