Why Purify?

Here we are, in the thick of the holiday season and overindulgence in food and alcohol abounds. 

Many people want to get back on track with their health and wellness after the holiday season--and rightly so. 

I personally like to complete a purifying cleanse program several times a year. It keeps me feeling my best and I believe there are important reasons we should focus making sure we are detoxifying appropriately. Some of these reasons are:
  • Increased toxicity in our environment and food
  • Increased synthetic endocrine disruptors (mostly estrogens)
  • Detoxifying helps with weight loss goals
  • Detoxifying can improve many health complaints

If you are wondering about some of the symptoms that may be improved through completing a cleanse, please download the Toxicity Questionnaire below. This form is completed before the cleanse and after the cleanse to mark progress.

I recently completed a "light" version of my cleanse for two weeks after Thanksgiving (I wasn't following it strictly but I was eating clean and using some of the products). I plan to do the complete version in the new year. However, even with my "light" version, I lost a few inches from my waist (my jeans were fitting well again!) and I noticed I felt calmer and happier (less anxiety!). I can't wait to do the full version!

I use a 21 Day program from the trusted nutritional company Standard Process. This is NOT a program that starves you or uses unsafe synthetic substances. It used whole food supplements along with a very clean eating plan. The program was actually studied at Logan College of Chiropractic and the results were statistically significant reductions in weight and blood pressure following the program.
