In 2013, while she was recovering from mercury poisoning due to her swallowing one of her silver fillings,[2] [note: swallowing silver fillings cannot cause mercury poisoning as metallic (solid) mercury is non-toxic when consumed according to CDC and poison control research[3]]JJ Smith created a cleanse program for herself. She shared it with friends and family, and received a positive response. She went on to getting certified as a nutritionist and weight management expert.[4] As a result, she decided to create several books, How to Lose Weight Without Dieting or Working Out and 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse included, in order to help others detox.[5][6]
