Cleanse Update: Final Results!

We made it through the rain of cleansing... just in time for the snow to arrive! Our timing couldn't have been better - snow causes coldness and dryness (in the weather, and in the body), which creates a sure recipe for excess congestion in the body.  Read below to see how each of your favorite Herbalist team members is feeling after their 10 day detox.

Results from Cleansing: Day 7 of my New Year Cleanse: When I woke up, jumped out of bed, and could not wait to start my day. Took my herbs and Intestinal Rescue, went for a long walk with my dog, Dutch, then off to yoga, and then to Chaco Canyon for my Green Detox Drink. When I got home I completed many projects I have been putting off, then I paid my bills…. The point is I have all this energy. Result #1.

Result #2: My lungs feel so good! Usually the winter is a hard time for my lungs. But they feel great, less congested and breathing is easier.

Result #3: I had a small cyst in my breast and it is totally gone.

Result #4: I put more thought into the nutrition I am receiving daily. I consider myself a healthy eater but after cleansing I realize there was a lot of room for improvement.

Result #5: I have had the best sleeps and the most fun dreams.

Cleansing does not come easily to me.  I'm a Taurus (known for their tendency to indulge in good food and drink) who can't remember ever having skipped a meal. I also have high protein needs - going without meat for even a couple days challenges my mental function and energy levels.  This cleanse marked a shift in my eating/cleansing habits.  While I did suffer  from protein withdrawals the first day or so, overall I had lots of energy, a clear head and increased vitality.  My digestion and elimination improved greatly and while I haven't weighed myself, I know that I lost at least a few pounds, mostly around the waist where I had gained some holiday pudge. The greatest gift of this cleanse was the habit changes I will take with me - I realize that I can not only survive but flourish on lighter meals, more vegetables, and yes even smaller meat servings.

Seven days of cleansing for me!  I am sooo proud of myself and am reaping the benefits and enjoying the rewards.  This break from sugar, dairy, wheat, caffeine and animal proteins, allowed me to reconnect with my “healthly self “and am more in tune to what works best for my body…and what doesn’t..  My cravings from now on will be to always feel this healthy and vibrant.  Many thanks to my fellow coworkers who joined together to make this cleanse not only possible, but enjoyable.

This was the best cleanse I have ever done. With the support of my co-workers it became much easier to stick to the program. During my cleanse I felt much more energetic and awake. My digestion improved immensely and my skin cleared up.The hardest part of cleansing for me is usually finding a good variety of foods to eat. During this cleanse I learned a couple new recipes that I really enjoyed like Kimbeley’s miso rice noodle soup and Lauren’s beet salad. So yummy!

Each time I cleanse I learn something new about myself and it becomes a little easier than the time before.
