Reset With A Spring Cleanse!
It's April and officially spring! I love watching the crocuses and snow drop flowers pop up in gardens each year.
Spring is the season of renewal. You can throw off the heavy layers of clothing, and discard what you no longer need, It’s a perfect season to be creative, begin with fresh ideas, and make new plans. April is a great time to practice a spring cleanse with foods for nourishing the body.
Press the reset button and invite in renewed energy!
This should be reflected in your meals to energize you, feeling less sluggish and bringing lightness into your step. In your daily movement, exploring new places to be active with biking, hiking and walking. Getting the mental cobwebs out with a clearer mind too.
Treat yourself to a spring cleanse for seven days! It will:
- Improve your body’s ability to handle and dispose of those toxic substances.
- Refresh your skin
- Clearing bowel elimination
- Elimination of cravings
- Possible weight loss
- A sense of relief, calm and ease
- Brighter eyes
- Feeling lighter and refreshed
The purpose of a cleanse is to clear the body of foods and chemicals that may be causing you sensitivities or allergic reactions from:
- Pesticides in produce
- Plastic drinking bottles (now you have glass!)
- Phthalates and parabens in skin and hair care products
- Solvents from paints
- Hormones from meat that we eat and also leak into our water supplies.
- The environment all around us.
What this means is that you’ll be removing certain foods and food categories from your diet for the week while you’re cleansing. Simultaneously, you’ll be adding certain foods and nutrients that will enable you to improve your patterns of toxic elimination.
It is also brings awareness to slowing down, quieting the digestive system and activating other systems for detoxification and elimination.
Let’s do the cleanse together for seven days beginning April 17th.
This program is gentle yet effective. You will not be starving. You will not be without energy. You will not spend hours in the bathroom each day. It is an uplifting experience as you move forward into spring and summer.
Do the cleanse with me! I will send you the plan, recipes and shopping list. You don’t have to think about it. We connect at the beginning of the cleanse and at the end to celebrate that you did it!. It's also an excellent way to continue being focused on eating these quality foods ongoing rather than reverting back to your previous diet.
The fee $35
