WHAT
IS DETOXIFICATION?: Detoxification is the process of neutralizing or
clearing toxins from the body. The changing of the seasons is a perfect
time to give our bodies a little help and support from an equinox
cleanse - a chance to rid our system's of numerous toxins that may have
built up over the past months or year and allowing the body to
decongest and regenerate.
Doing a detox in a group setting can
be an excellent way to stick to a regimen and support each other with
food preparation ideas. I'll get you started and do a follow up as
well. Education, creative meal planning ideas, suggestions for how to
support your body during this time with the best foods and the optimal
detoxing supplements and more are all part of the package.
This
will not be a fast or a "master cleanse" diet. It will be about taking
2-3 weeks to remove certain foods from the diet which hamper
detoxification and adding in those foods which enhance it. You will be
introduced to a variety of fun and yummy new foods and can modify
according to your likes and dislikes. There is no doubt that you will
feel a difference and it may jumpstart you onto a new way of eating!
COST:
$90 gives you two 75 minute classes, 1 grocery store tour, recipes,
handouts, meal plans, food samples and daily email support offered
throughout the process.
