\u201cI\u2019m going to deworm and de-parasite for the first time,\u201d she told the outlet at the time. \u201cEverything I\u2019m getting on my Instagram feed at the moment is about worms and parasites. So I\u2019m doing a worm cleanse and parasite cleanse with my husband. I heard that you\u2019re supposed to do this once a year, and I\u2019ve never done it. So I feel like I\u2019m really behind. I don\u2019t know what the heck is going to come out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast-forward a few months, and Klum’s results are in.<\/p>\n
She tells PEOPLE ahead of her annual Halloween party that she did, in fact, do the cleanse with her husband, but she jokes they didn’t “inspect anything” as far as what might have come out.<\/p>\n
“So many people asked me, too, like ‘What happened?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t even know if anything happened!'” Klum, 52, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It just felt good … just if there are any [worms or parasites], then I hope that they were leaving the body, because I hear so many people talk about this all the time.”<\/p>\n
Klum dishes that Kaulitz was by her side for the whole thing, which made the cleanse a bit more tolerable.<\/p>\n
“It’s easier to do this with a partner in the morning because you have to drink this weird stuff,” she explains. “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. You have to do two rounds instead of two weeks. We did two rounds in order to hopefully kill eggs and things. But yeah, we felt great afterwards.”<\/p>\n
Klum, who spoke to PEOPLE while opening up about her new campaign with L’Or\u00e9al Paris<\/a>, originally told the Wall Street Journal that she didn’t necessarily have any evidence of worms or parasites, but she was game to try the cleanse anyway.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you are someone who eats raw things every now and then, like, for example, sushi. There are pills [to get rid of them],\u201d she explained. \u201cThey have all of these herbs. There\u2019s a lot of clove in there. The parasite hates clove. They also hate the seeds from a papaya. We have all this metal inside of us, and it\u2019s also very important that you use this de-metaling stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n Andreas Rentz\/amfAR\/Getty<\/p>\n Tom Kaulitz and Heidi Klum in May 2025<\/p>\n While parasitic infections are real and can cause serious health problems, they can only be diagnosed by a doctor following proper testing.<\/p>\n There is currently no medical evidence to support that herbal supplements or other ingredients work in getting rid of a parasitic infection. Experts also stress that not all gastrointestinal issues are related to parasites.<\/p>\n \u201cI really hope these cleanses don\u2019t become popular,\u201d registered dietitian Beth Czerwony told the\u00a0Cleveland Clinic<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s just no credible evidence to show that they work, and they can bring big health risks.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Andreas](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dacbdec1050fd1f718ec1c64693457d7.jpeg\"\/)
