Do You Need A Cleanse?
IT’S THE NEW YEAR, and time to get on track—especially with all the holiday eating, drinking, celebrating, and then inevitable bloat and fatigue that follows. Enter: a clean, whole body cleanse.

If you’re questioning whether you would benefit from a cleanse, the answer is most likely yes. Even if you live a healthy lifestyle and eat clean most of the time, cleansing can be an important tool for longevity, vibrant health, and beauty. Embarking upon a cleanse can significantly reduce inflammation, support detox pathways, increase energy and cognitive function, and will give you a radiant glow. Cleansing can also offer an emotional and spiritual reset. When we cleanse our bodies, we can’t help but to also cleanse our minds, and this is the beautiful benefit of cleanses. If you stick to it, you may find that old ways of thinking, bad habits, and negative patterns are easier to notice and let go of and that living in your truth follows.
Modern living is more toxic than ever before. Our bodies get weighed down (literally) with pesticides from conventionally grown food, processed foods, alcohol, heavy metals, sugar, synthetic hormones from conventional dairy and meat, as well as plastics, toxic chemicals in beauty and cleaning products, exhaust from cars and airplane travel, radiation from cell phones, Wi-Fi and long plane rides. Our bodies are constantly attempting to cleanse naturally, but all these factors can keep them from effectively doing their job.
