Cleansing and Detoxing

I am a big fan of cleansing and detoxing…a good friend Jackie Wicks has paired up with JJ Virgin, a fitness and nutrition expert to introduce their new 14-Day Fresh Start Cleanse…

Take a look at a great video on How To Do A Cleanse, Why You Need To Detoxify

Why Detox/Cleanse?

If you breathe, eat, drink water, use electronics, or otherwise simply live in this modern world, then you need to detox.

You are exposed to harmful chemicals every day, just by going about your daily activities. They are an unfortunate fact of life in today’s world.

There’s no way around this, even if you’re careful with the products you use, because the onslaught is too huge. The air itself carries toxins like mercury, and we breathe this in whether we’re in a city or in the countryside.

Consider this:

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published data on the levels of selected persistent organic pollutants (POPs) – a category of toxins which includes dioxins, phthalates, PDBEs, PCBs, etc. – and found that among a representative sample of the US population, some toxins were present in essentially every individual over the age of 12!

Toxins have been independently linked to an increased risk of diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, impaired neurological development, learning and attention deficit disorders, endometriosis, thyroid problems, hormone imbalances, and more.

This means you need to provide yourself with respites or breaks (a detox or cleanse program) where not only do you avoid as much as possible taking in toxins from the environment, but you also provide your body with the specific nutrients it needs to neutralize harmful chemicals and convert them into harmless substances that can then be excreted.

That’s why we recommend that EVERYONE do a detox cleanse program 2-4 times a year, and why we’re so happy to be finally offering this to you.

Here is the all the info you need for the 14-Day Fresh Start Cleanse:

If you decide to do the cleanse with the Meal Shakes, Thorne Research supplements are of the highest quality. I have used many supplements from Thorne Research over the years and I have always been impressed with their quality. Here is a link for more information about Thorne Research
