HOW DOES IT WORK?

2. You’ll discover foods that heal and understand foods that might not be right for you.
3. Learn about self care tools that will benefit you long after the cleanse is over.
4. Officially we start on Sunday, November 4th, so you have time to shop for ingredients and do a little food prep after the kick off event.
5. Bonus conference calls; one mid-way through the cleanse to keep you supported and one at the end to help you reintegrate foods that we took out. This is a great opportunity for self-discovery of hidden food intolerances.

FAQs
How will I feel?
Admittedly, the first 3 days could be challenging, maybe more depending on the toxicity in your body. Whatever aches, burps, rumbles and grumbles you experience in the first three days, be patient with them; they will pass. This is a fantastic opportunityto learn a little body intuition (understand the signals it’s sending you!) The body is an amazing work of art, once we start to feed it real, whole food it begins to heal.
Remember, you won’t be going through this alone!
Will I be hungry?
You don’t have to be hungry on a cleanse. This is not a juice cleanse, you will eat real food!
Can I / do I have to eat meat or fish?
We’ll help you customize the detox to your needs, so you can stay within your own preferred eating plans.
Can I do this from anywhere?
Absolutely! The guidebook will be downloable and the conference calls will be recorded for you can play back at your leisure.
