Detox 101

Why cleanse?

• Chemical toxins from processed foods, preservatives, artificial ingredients, harmful substances that we ingest, pollution, etc. accumulate in our digestive tract on a daily basis, some remaining in our system for many years; cleansing is the most effective way to release these toxins from the body
• As we purge our system of toxic buildup, we are able to flood it with essential nutrients that our body demands to maintain healthy function
• The health benefits of cleansing are infinite, and immediate results include permanent weight loss, absence of cravings, extreme increase in both physical and mental energy, emotional stability, a radiant glowy complexion, and a newfound sense of strength and confidence
• Cleansing will change your relationship with food, as it allows you to make a distinct mind/body connection between what you consume and how you feel; it will re-train your body to crave the foods and nutrients that yield optimum energy and health
• Nutritional cleansing is one of the best things we can do for our bodies, and is recommended two to four times a year

Cleansing is designed to:

• Detox the body through nutritional cleansing
• Trigger permanent weight loss by resetting the metabolic system
• Maximize physical stamina and mental clarity
• Refine your not-so-good dietary habits once and for all
• Restore balance to your body’s natural pH
• Give you an experiential understanding of how your diet transfers into every other aspect of your life

After a cleanse, you will:

• Be lighter and stronger
• Have a radiant, healthy glow
• Feel more confident, stable, happy, and healthy!
• Have a deep awareness of your body’s physical, mental, and emotional reactions to specific foods
• Know how to balance and maintain your body’s most energetic state of being

It is important to recognize that while cleansing is a very physical process, it has significant mental and emotional side effects as well.  It is important to set intentions for yourself during a cleanse, both short and long-term.  Although the duration of a cleanse is generally 8 days to a month, you are embarking on a transformational journey that is about making lifestyle changes in order to achieve higher health.  You will gain the tools you need to modify your habits and upgrade your choices in the bigger picture.  It's a simple process that leads to permanent, positive changes.

Post-holiday time can be one of the best times to detox and cleanse as you embark on a new year.  If this is something you are interested in participating in or learning more about, I would love for you to contact me about it.  I am an incredibly relatable and enthusiastic person, and my purpose is to teach others about their body in a way that is comprehensive and sustainable.  My goal in nutritional counseling is to reach out to the average person who is seeking positive change in their life.  It is a subject I have a lot of personal and professional experience with, and I work with people both individually and in small groups.  If you don't live in the Austin area, I can easily work with you over the phone.  Even if you just have questions, don't hesitate to shoot me an email: blondiebodandwellness@gmail.com!
