Havent been on this page in two years! Feelin the October need to cleanse but am on a SLOW AND STEADY path with my amazing acupuncturist. WHat are your thoughts about cleasning during fall? What do you do? A full blown detox with cayenne, lemon and maple (no thank you for me but I know some love it) or just a few days of soups, avocadoes, juices and deep breathing. Let me know your habits and expereinces!

Anyone take iodine? What kind and why?

INSTINCTS: Always trust them. Especially when cleansing. Sometimes, we all get so gung ho and actually fanatical about detoxing, cleansing, health kicking. But you must ALWAYS listen to your body and use cleansing 'rules' as guidelines. When I first started taking the Rainbow Light protein I felt it was WAY too sweet for me as I am used to using Garden of Eden RAW protein...with NO stevia. But I continued to use it as I committed to the cleanse with my MOM. Well, nearly 3 weeks in and almost done with the cleanse, I have been unwell for nearly a week and felt so confused as to how I could feel worse. Even though I KNOW my body has benefitted from the cleanse as my hair, skin and nails are lookin sassy. Turns out, certain protein powders with high amounts of the amino acid arginine can aggravate viral symptoms. When I stress, my body seems to unleash some sort of virus that otherwise lays dormant in my system. Whether its form when I had chicken pox, mono, epstein barre or whatever else, its my nemesis. The point is...listen to your body. Mine didnt want the protein powder to begin with and I just kept drinking it. (Mind you, my Mom and everyone else I know is fine on it) But I switching over my last few days to the RAW protein like I should have done in the beginning. Oh, and dont stress. It kind of ruins EVERYTHING. OXOXOX Brooke

Hey peeps...how is everyone doing? We are almost done with week two and I will tell you this...my Mom and I are EXHAUSTED and haven't gained energy back yet. My skin looks amazing and Ewan thinks I look glowy over skype but I do NOT feel well. Im wondering if its just detox symptoms kicking in (even more) and I will gain some energy soon. My brother seems to feel better than ever. Its amazing how different things affect different bodies. Love to hear from you.

Its Friday and my Mom and I are on day 4 of this thing...its hard! We are both feeling tired and cranky. This part of the cleanse should pass and we should start feeling incredibly energetic in a day or two. Water is so important...as well as SWEATING. Been doing a shake in the morning, two snacks and two meals. No wheat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, caffeine...only fish chicken and turkey- organic. Lots of greens and only gluten free grains. Hope it gets easier soon!

Start with two bags of protein, any flavor is fine. You need 60 tablets of probiotics and I suggest the packets of Calm (as opposed to bottle) so you can take them with you on the Go.

WHAT TO BUY AND WHERE: Ok, to do a simple cleanse, I suggest three products which mirror the CLEAN cleanse ingredients almost exactly. You will need: RAINBOW LIGHT PROTEIN ENERGIZER, A HIGH POTENCY PROBIOTIC such as Udo's Super 8 and CALM MAGNESIUM powder. The PROTEIN powder is a WHOLE FOOD POWDER packed with all of your vitamins, minerals, amino acids, greens, digestive enzymes, anti-inflamatories and immune boosters. Total and complete. The probiotic is to balance you gut flora and help flush out any unwanted bacteria while growing new healthy ones and the magnesium is optional if you get achey or can't p**p. There ya have it. Buy it all at: www.vitacost.com or go to Whole Foods if you want it NOW and want to pay 20-50% more.

THE COPYCAT CLEAN CLEANSE
Hello all! I promised I would make a place to post tips and information for cleansing and here it is! My Mom and I are doing a cleanse that I created based on the principles and guidelines of the CLEAN cleanse. I can highly recommend the CLEAN cleanse if you have the $$$ to do it. Well worth it. But it does cost $425 which is hard for a lot of us. And also silly! So stay tuned for product information, recipes and some hopefully comedic and entertaining videos to get you started and keep you going. YOU DESERVE TO FEEL AMAZING, ENERGIZED and PEACEFUL. lets do it!
