Why The Reset Cleanse?

Or let me rephrase that question...

​

Are you experiencing any of the following: headaches, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, belly bloat, painful gas, frequent belching, joint and muscle aches, muscle tension, soreness or cramps, itching, acne, warts or other skin eruptions, inability to concentrate, foggy brain, irritability, depression, mood swings, cardiovascular irregularities, weight gain or loss, insomnia, fatigue, lethargy, flu-like symptoms, allergic reactions including: hives, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, and coughing?

​

These are all symptoms of toxic overload. This is your body telling you, "RESET ME PLEASE".

A little bit o’ science

Toxic chemicals abound in the world today – they easily find their way into our body through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. We also ingest foreign chemicals when taking medicinal or illicit drugs, or when using alcohol or tobacco.

​

Although the body is designed to be self-cleaning and to excrete these toxins, it cannot always handle the overload present in today’s environment. Chemicals not excreted accumulate in our fat cells and cell membranes become internal toxins. When the body is under stress, it releases those toxic waste products from the fat to circulate in the bloodstream. These toxins can damage the protective intestinal lining, literally corroding the body from the inside out; making it a less effective filter for the good nutrients we might be bringing in. The more it is damaged, the less effectively it absorbs nutrients, and the more toxins pass into the blood and lymph systems. This is why elimination is so important during a cleanse! We aim to eliminate toxins from the body to avoid toxic overload.

​

To avoid toxic overload and effectively reset the body it is important to keep all of the body’s channels of elimination open and functioning well. A number of cleansing activities are recommended in this cleanse, beyond changing your diet. The time and loving attention you devote to these activities for your body during your cleanse will be richly rewarded with improved health. It is believed by nutritionally oriented health care practitioners that specific food allergies are related to metabolic toxicity. Symptoms from apparent food allergies may result from reduced enzyme concentrations and from intestinal bacterial endotoxins. One classic approach to eliminating or minimizing symptoms associated with food allergies is using a hypo-allergenic diet or elimination diet (which is the approach we’ll be using in this cleanse.)

​

Foods that most commonly cause symptoms of a food allergy or toxicity are gluten containing grains, dairy products, eggs, soy, caffeine, yeast, sugar (and it’s many forms), dried fruits, citrus fruits and sometimes poor food combining. Avoidance of these foods has lead to relief of symptoms in many individuals. By reintroducing these foods back into the diet individually, one is able to see clearly how their body reacts to that food.

​

This gentle, yet effective approach is designed to support the liver’s detoxification pathways and to improve intestinal health so that the body can clear out excess toxins and operate at its highest potential. It delivers an all access pass to boundless reserves of energy you didn’t know you had. You’ll find that every part of your body works better simply by “switching on” your metabolism and body’s natural healing abilities. A variety of nutrient dense, high fiber foods are conveniently planned for you, taking the guesswork out of wondering what is okay and not okay to eat.

Disclaimer

This cleanse is a very gentle, safe, hypoallergenic, elimination diet that almost everyone can do with ease. This cleanse does not include fasting.

​

This cleanse is made to be vegan so no animal products. However, for my carnivorous lovers there are some recipes included with fish and chicken. (Small consumption during the cleanse)

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or have a medical issue … of course before beginning any nutritional change or cleanse consult your primary care physician.
