Spring DetoxificationTips: Dump The Junk!

By Alison Held

Toxins are created during the normal process of metabolism and from our environment (polluted air and water, industrial byproducts, chemicals in our food and living environment, etc.)  It is critical that we regularly detoxify ourselves of these pollutants to keep ourselves feeling and looking our best.

There are many steps we can take to feel better from the inside out.  All sorts of cleanses and detoxification programs exist on the market but quality varies drastically.  In my experience, there are few programs that address both phase I and phase II detoxification, both being of utmost important. 

Additionally many cleanse/detoxification programs are quite harsh on the system and instead of feeling better during and afterwards, we feel worse!  Of course the first couple of days might be difficult for some if they are giving up refined carbohydrates, processes sugars, coffee, etc.  But after those couple of days, one should experience positive results!

Some of my favorite detoxification tips are:

• Finding a detoxification program that supports you and your lifestyle - who needs a program that cuts into your daily activities and keeps you feeling miserable!
• Increasing your water intake
• Getting sound sleep
• Adding supportive herbs and supplements
• Going inward to support yourself from a spiritual level as well
• Cutting down on bothersome foods - two biggies are wheat and dairy
• Having a support system - don't go at it alone!
  

 So, are you ready to....

• Increase your energy
• Feel more focussed and gain clarity
• Get relief from allergies
• Lose weight
• Have clearer skin and eyes
• Alleviate joint pain
• Improve digestion
• Slow down aging
• Sleep better
• Feel better overall

Your 28-day program will include the following:

• Three strategic group support meetings with Alison Held (Day 1; Day 8; Day 28)
  
• All nutritional supplements that support the detox process.  These included daily antioxidants, liver and gallbladder support, protein powders, alkalizing green powder and fiber. 
  
• Fun quizzes and education to help create awareness and lifestyle changes (vs. a quick fix)
• A detailed list of foods that can be eaten during the cleanse.  Yes, this cleanse does involve food!  You can actually eat as much food as you'd like as long as it is accompanied by the supplemental smoothies. 
  
• Email support from Alison Held between your sessions

This program is like no other!  You will be able to work and perform your usual daily activities without taking time off.  This program is for healthy adults and not for those with a serious medical condition or those who are pregnant and nursing. 

The cost of this program is $425 which probably sounds like a lot but please remember:

• Absolutely everything above is included and more!
• You may suspend from natural supplements during the detox as these will help to support your system during the program
• Three individual sessions with Alison would currently cost you $300 without supplements.  This is the most cost-effective way to work with Healthful Direction and get tangible results.
• Forty-five meal replacements are included so you will no doubt eat less "food" and therefore save money on your grocery bill. 
  

The April program deadline is April 17th and the May program deadline is May 2nd.

A group detoxification program will not be offered again until Fall or Winter!
