Family, work, and social commitments leave us with little energy for anything else— including taking care of ourselves. It’s only when we start to feel run down and out of sorts that we’re forced to listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us. A cleanse focuses on giving our bodies the care they need—and deserve.

Our skin plays a major role in eliminating toxins and other harmful substances. When we sweat, toxins are released through our pores. This cleanse floods the body with amazing amounts of nutrients, water, good fats, and antioxidants which help the skin do its job much more efficiently. That’s not all though: this cleanse improves our skin— leaving us with brighter, clearer, glowing skin from head to toe.

Cramping, constipation, and diarrhea are all signs of a hurting digestive system. It’s important to keep our bowels and other organs of elimination working efficiently if we want to be happy campers! The toxins that our bodies are working hard to expel will simply be reabsorbed, which can lead to even more unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and skin problems. During the cleanse, we’ll eat fiber-rich foods to create an intestinal “broom,” sweeping away unwanted waste and keeping the gut-lining healthy.

One of the side effects of the 21-day cleanse is weight loss… if your body truly needs it. We avoid the refined carbohydrates (white bread, packaged cereals, pasta, etc) that are leading contributors to weight gain. These carbohydrates are instantly transformed into sugar by our bodies (and we aren’t designed to handle such abundant influxes of sugar). When we eat sugar-laden foods or refined carbs, the sugar goes directly into fat stores where it simply “sleeps” like a bear in hibernation, until we need a burst of energy that our food intake for the day can’t cover.
