Why Detox?

To perform at their optimum best, our bodies need to be unobstructed by toxins and metabolic wastes. Modern day life full of refined sugars and flours, cocktails, fast food and pesticides all lead to toxicity in the body. While we might love our morning Starbucks latte with a freshly baked muffin full of white flour and sugar and our subway sandwich full of preservatives washed down with a large diet coke for lunch, our digestive tract is screaming at us. Doing this and worse on a daily basis begins to wear our insides out and can lead to decreased energy, allergies, headaches, bad skin, disease, and old age amongst other things.

Because our body spends so much time and energy digesting, assimilating and eliminating the food we eat, very often other areas of our body that need attention get ignored. The goal of any fast or detox is to give your digestive system a break allowing it to rest, recharge and heal from a cellular level.

Our Detox programs make it easy for you to cleanse and detox. We prepare your entire days food from fresh organic ingredients, taking the stress out of deciding what to eat – we even deliver it if you want! The meals, juices and smoothies are raw and nutrient dense. Raw foods contain all the nutrients and enzymes needed for digestion and assimilation that are often destroyed by the cooking process. Raw food means less energy is needed for digestion allowing more energy for ‘cleaning’.

What to expect

A three day commitment is all that is needed from you. That means you have to get yourself in the right mind-frame. Don’t think of this as a deprivation diet think of it as a positive, exciting experience – remember you are doing something great for yourself!

You may experience some detox symptoms depending on how toxic your diet is. You may experience a mild headache (especially if you are stopping the caffeine which we highly recommend on this detox) and you will most likely have increased bowel movements. This is great, the more bowel movements the better! It means you are eliminating old build up. You may feel slightly hungry on the first day if you are used to eating large meals. Remember this is a detox so we are reducing calories. By the second and third day you should be feeling very satisfied due to the increase in nutrients. Most people experience weight loss which could range from a couple of pounds to as much as 5 or 6lbs and most people come off the detox feeling energized, lighter and all round better about themselves.

“I often observe in the fasting participants that concentration seems to improve, creative thinking expands, depression lifts, insomnia stops, anxieties fade, the mind becomes more tranquil and a natural joy begins to appear. It is my hypothesis that when the physical toxins are cleared from the brain cells, mind-brain function automatically and significantly improves and spiritual capacities expands.”
Gabriel Cousins, M.D.

“Fasting can help reverse the ageing process, and if we use it correctly, we will live longer, happier lives.”
Dr. James Balch, MD
