The Cleanse That Isn’t a Cleanse — Nourishing Your Gut with Elissa Goodman

In this episode, Dr. Nigma sits down with integrative holistic nutritionist and “Cleanse Queen” Elissa Goodman to explore what it really means to detox, reset, and nourish your body without starving yourself.

After overcoming cancer, autoimmune disease, and the devastating loss of her husband, Elissa turned her pain into purpose—helping thousands reclaim their health through food, emotional healing, and her wildly popular EG Kitchen Cleanse.

From emotional burnout to bloating, gut dysbiosis to dehydration, they unpack the root causes of feeling unwell—and how the right foods, mindset, and microbiome support can completely change how you feel in just five days.

This is a cleanse that feeds you—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
