Detoxification and midterms

In my journey to become a midwife....heck, at this point, to become a student midwife, I have been thinking so much about my own physical health and the things that I need to do to prepare myself to be strong and able to serve women in the best possible way.  And I've come to the realization that I have been treating my body like a toxic dumping ground for the last 15 years.  High fructose corn syrups, processed flours, unnatural additives and preservatives, chemical laden junk have been flooding my body.  It's gotta change.  But I really have no idea how to begin.  So, I guess I just have to start. 

I've been pounding water over the last few days trying to give myself a good base to work with.  I have no idea really what I'm going to do or how I'm going to do it.  I just know at my core that I need to start giving my body a solid foundation to work from, instead of working so hard to sabotage myself.
