Over the summer, Heidi Klum announced that she and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, were planning to attempt a naturopathic worm-and-parasite cleanse that included an unidentified milky liquid, a mystery pill, and some fruit. “I’m going to deworm and de-parasite for the first time,” she told The Wall Street Journal in August. “I don’t know what the heck is going to come out.” But according to People, Klum now has the results, and … she has no idea if it worked. But not to worry — she and Kaulitz “felt great afterwards.”
People apparently caught up with Klum about her cleanse results ahead of her infamous Halloween party last month but is just now sharing what it learned. “It’s easier to do this with a partner in the morning because you have to drink this weird stuff,” she told the outlet. “It’s all herbal, but nonetheless, it’s yucky and you have to do this routine of doing it every day in order to kill it in all of the eggs, apparently … We did two rounds in order to hopefully kill eggs and things.” Eggs and things!
Despite having no definitive proof that she had parasites in the first place, Klum is confident that, if she did, she has been cured of her internal worm and/or parasite commune. “If there are any, then I hope that they were leaving the body, because I hear so many people talk about this all the time,” she told People.
Alas, you know what they say: Just because you’ve heard “so many people” talking about a TikTok health hack does not make it medically viable or necessary. If you’re experiencing symptoms of an actual parasitic infection (gut issues, unexplained weight loss, exhaustion), UCLA Health recommends seeking a professional diagnosis and medical treatment from a doctor and not, you know, the host of Project Runway. I’m happy Klum feels good, though. Maybe now that she’s worm free, a morning ritual of hot water and lemon might suffice?
