Introducing... THE CLEANSE!!
Ok. Before we go any further I should clarify that this is not your traditional Eat-Nothing-But-X-Cleanse. Rather this is 40-day super-health program designed to, yes, gently cleanse toxins etc. from your body, but also to reset the way you eat and get deep nourishment into your body. Many (dare I say, most) Americans are overweight but they are also UNDERnourished; their bodies simply aren't getting the nutrients they need (either because they aren't present in the diet in the first place or because their digestion is not functioning well enough to properly assimilate the nutrients from the food. The Reboot program, therefor, is a two fold path that focuses on cleansing out the bad and building up the good.
1. Cleanse: gently and effectively remove any toxins or build-up that may be holding up or damaging the system. This is done by:
a. Dry Brushing- each REboot pan includes 1 dry brush to be used on the skin daily. The skin is the largest organ in the body and one of our primary ways of eliminating toxins. The exfoliation from dry brushing helps increase skin cell turn-over in addition to stimulating circulation.
b. Premier Cleanse Powder (by Premier Research Laboratories)- This is a psyllium husk and botanical blend that helps to "rejuvenate the body by cleansing waste particles", cleansing the digestive system. To be taken with aloe and cranberry juice for deep digestive support.
c. Coffee (or Chlorophyl) Enemas- OPTIONAL. Totally up to you, if you want to brave these but those who do are promised incredible benefit. The primary goal of these is not only a cleansing of the colon but a particularly effective cleansing of the
liver (
heres a little article that says more).
d. Diet- following one of the two dietary options of the Reboot program will help ensure that all the work you are doing to cleanse is not being put to waste by toxins in your diet. :)
2. Re-Build & Nourish: a hyper-dose of super-nutrients to restore balance and boost the system.
*Cod Liver Oil (Premier Research Labratories)- incredibly pure U.S.P. grade oil from Norway is rich in D3, A, and E Vitamins as well as EPA and DHA. Super boost for brain, immune system, hormones and mood, bones and joints and more.
*Coral Legendtm(PRL)- Made from fallen coral on the sea floor off japan (sustainably harvested- I checked!) which are said to be the "most assimilable source of alkalinizing minerals in the world". The product will be address mineral deficiencies (with improved calcium uptake thanks to being taken with the above cod liver oil) and target the body's pH to improve alkalinity. (Taken with Aloe Drink or Powder for optimal uptake in organs and glands.)
*Quantum Probiotic Complextm (PRL)- broad spectrum probiotic culture to help re-establish healthy intestinal flora (essential to good health, immunity and digestion). This particular one is interesting because it is made from 92 different herbs and barks cultured over 5 years and is certified to be 6.5 times stronger than any other lactic acid bacteria (oo lala! ).
*Dynamic Greenstm (aka 'Green Drink') (Metagenics)- one of my favorite products out there. Tastes great and is packed with more super foods, grasses, plant enzymes, and antioxidants than they can practically fit on the label. To be drunk in morning or afternoon in-between meals with a spoonful of chia seeds for extra digestive support and health boost benefits.
Diet: in addition to the supplements and cleansing procedures etc. the other big part to the program is the diet. This will probably be the most challenging part for most people but also promises to be the most rewarding. Reboot has two Nutritional Paths you can take, one moderate and one more extreme, but both will help re-set your system and get you feeling better than ever before. Both start with a day of bone or bieler broth and veggies (will explain more during first class). Here's the breakdown:
MODERATE PATH:
Veggies: ALL- with extra love for dark leafy green vegetables, and a little less love for the sweeter veggies like tomatoes, carrots, and beets.
Meats/Fish/Eggs: ALL (Organic strongly encouraged, red meat only if grass fed, bacon etc. only if nitrate free). Range-free organic eggs encouraged.
Grains: ONLY IF SPROUTED (more info on how/why during class), or ancient and seed-type grains like quinoa, wild rice (actually a seed- interesting, no?), and millet.
Beans/Legumes: ALL
Dairy: ONLY IF RAW or low-temperature pasteurized (I will give you resources for this if desired) from pastured cows or goats.
Fruit: berries, green apples, lemons, limes, grapefruit, allowed once per day. All other in moderation (no more than 3x/week).
Sweeteners: Stevia, Lo Han Guo (buy it
HERE on amazon), and minimal (no more than a tablespoon/day) amounts of raw honey or pure maple syrup. Absolutely NO sugar in any form, artificial sweeteners, corn syrups etc. (this is BIG- this change alone will rock your world).
Fats: all non- artificially made fats allowed including animal fats, coconut products, and oils of grape seed, olive, sesame, coconut, and flax. If it has hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats, just throw it away (cleanse or no cleanse you don't want that!).
Beverages: NO ALCOHOL, no sugared or sweetened beverages (stevia soda ok in moderation), no more than ONE cup of organic coffee or black tea per day (try for none if you can handle it), and avoid all other artificially flavored anythings. Kombucha, coconut water, kefir (unsweetened), lemon water, un-sweetend cranberry concentrate plus stevia or lo han, and green and herbal teas are all OK.
EXTREME PATH:
Same as above except NO grains (sprouted or otherwise), NO dairy of any form, NO caffein, NO fruit, and No sweeteners other than stevia and lo han.
Capische?
So! There will also be a major group support component to this that I feel will be critical to ensuring that you all not only have fun, but are able to stick to it for the full 40 days, and come out the other side feeling better than ever. During our first Cleanse class (currently set for Saturday, January 14th from 9:00am-10:00am) you will find a buddy who will help you take your measurements etc. and will be your support buddy for the rest of the cleanse. Those of you doing this remotely will be assigned to ME and we will have a lovely Skype date set up every other week (with text, phone, and email support in the interim). The buddy system along with the classes at the studio (or online) will help keep you on track and motivated so the above protocols can do their magic on you without interference from doughnut cravings etc. ;) The Studio-R Facebook page will also serve as a virtual gathering place for cleansers to post updates, recipes and resources, or just call out for support. There's a big gang of us doing this so together we shall not fail! ;)
Cost: $240 which includes all of the above supplements, books, REboot classes, etc. plus a surprise prize at the end for all finishers!
