With this in mind, I’m featuring three juices to help rid your body of excess mucus and support detoxification. These include a red, orange, and green juice—natural remedies designed to help your body fight mucus and promote overall wellness.

I love a fresh start! I love closing one chapter and stepping into another. Reflecting on past experiences, applying what I’ve learned, and preparing for the next big thing feels invigorating. As we step fully into 2025, it’s no different.
