Ms. Snyder has several strategies for bouncing back.

 “The very first thing that’s essential is to start the day with hot water and lemon—the hot water helps to dispel the gas and move it out of your system and lemon has a flushing and cleansing effect,” says Ms. Snyder, who has published three books on detoxification, including “The Beauty Detox Power,” which launched earlier this year.
