Why do I need a cleanse?
To achieve optimal wellness you need to cleanse your body actively.
A barrage of toxins comes at you non-stop from pollutants, processed foods and additives, stress, prescription drugs, insufficient exercise, sedentary occupations, and other sources. The human body struggles to stand up to this onslaught even with the major organs of elimination—the liver, skin, intestinal tract, and kidneys—all on line and at work.
During the cleanse, you will clear overloads of toxicity, and give your body a brief rest from digestion. On average, the human body expends 50-70% of its daily energy ration on digesting food. While cleansing and juice fasting you give your body a bit of R&R, a brief furlough from this non-stop labor so your system can devote a greater share of energy to detoxification, healing, and repair.
What kinds of recipes are in the program?
Our 14-day meal plan contains delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and drinks.
All of the recipes are:
● plant-based - vegan, (dairy-free, egg-free)
● gluten-free
● grain-free
● nutrient-dense and easily digestible
● low in natural sugar
● alkaline-forming
● low-starch (with vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds for balanced nutrition)
● flavorful and fun
The recipes enable a gentle detox process, and support a safe transition into and out of juice fasting. You will start with cooked and raw foods; then move into all raw foods; then just juices; then break the fast with raw foods; and then return to clean cooked foods. The foods we have chosen are nutrient-dense cleansing foods that support detoxification.
Will I experience detox symptoms?
Each person’s cleanse is unique, and even an individual’s cleanses over time will vary, due to many factors in overall physical and mental health—emotions, stress, and toxicity levels. At any time during the cleanse, you may experience common detox symptoms such as headaches, body aches, or a huge variance in energy levels. Some participants feel strong and vibrant throughout the two weeks. Detox symptoms (as unwelcome as they can be) are a sign that your natural cleanse mechanisms are working, and that your body is systematically healing. If you do experience detox symptoms, resting and hydrating normally provides quick relief, and most symptoms generally disappear within 12 to 48 hours.
