What is a Nourishment Cleanse™?
The Nourishment Cleanse is a gentle, food-based detoxification program that is a tune-up for your body, mind, and spirit.
Did you know that in a lifetime, you’ll consume about 60,000 pounds of food? That’s about the weight of six elephants! It is estimated that the average American consumes over 100 pounds of refined sugar and 55 pounds of fats and oils per year in the form of soda pop, gum, candy, potato chips, corn chips, popcorn, pretzels, donuts, pastries, cakes and cookies, and ice cream. And then there's the 4 billion pounds of addictives, pesticides, and herbicides dumped onto our foods each year...
With all that we ingest, it’s a good idea to periodically cleanse, to give the body the loving attention, rest, and vital nutrients it needs to restore itself. This mini-retreat allows you to eliminate the accumulated waste matter and toxins that contribute to so much physical and mental illness in this country.
Common symptoms of toxicity that can significantly improve with cleansing:
- Addictions (cigarettes, caffeine, sugar, junk food)
- Allergies (food and seasonal)
- Cravings (sugar, caffeine, junk food)
- Depression, anxiety, hopelessness
- Digestive problems (bloating, gas, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome)
- Dull skin, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions
- Fatigue, lethargy, sluggishness
- Lack of concentration, attention deficit and hyperactivity
Curious about your toxicity level? Fill out a Detoxification Questionnaire and find out your toxic load. On average, cleanse participants reports a 70 to 85% improvement on their symptoms!!
