Ridding Burlington of Toxicity one Body at a Time

Cleansing can be more fun in a group.

Much of the nutritional counseling I do is one-one one, but lately I have been running a group cleanse (started 4/6 and ending 5/4), based off a book called Clean, by Dr. Alejandro Junger. The book is mainly about how toxicity builds up in the body through the foods we eat (i.e. Unhealthy foods, chemicals, artificial crap) and through our environment (external world and the things we put on our body).

It’s important to cleanse the body of these things periodically. The book takes you through a 3 week program to help you do this. Basically you have two liquid meals and one solid meal a day, with your solid meal at lunch. You cut out wheat, gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, some fruits high in sugar, and a few veggies (nightshades – tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers).

I have a group of about 15 people – including myself, Lena, and another staff member – on this cleanse. Ages range from 24 – 70!

Tonight at 7:15 the group is getting to do a conference call with Dr. Junger! He’ll be speaking about the cleansing process and we’ll have a Q&A.

Dr. Junger’s website is a good source of information.
