What previous participants have said:

"Cindy really knows her stuff. I just finished, for the third time, her detox class (first webinar format–liked it). Each time, another piece becomes clearer thanks to her personal way of teaching. Lost 15lbs and a LOT of fat over 60 days, also started running again (20yrs since last time), made some necessary dietary changes. I'm wearing clothes that haven’t fit in years, feeling lighter and better by the day. I appreciate Cindy’s way of teaching nutrition very much!"  Vicki R

"There were so many firsts for me… This was the first time I could function off of my anti-depressant. The first time I’ve studied the effects of nutrition on my brain. The first time someone has listened to my particulars and had suggestions that actually worked. You are so fun and I enjoyed our class so much. Thank you for leading us.”  Shannon S

"I have been struggling with food allergies for years with stomach distension and cramping as a result, and have tried many different remedies with little to no result. Then I had the opportunity to participate in your Detox Program and for the first time in my life, experienced relief and healing of my stomach and intestinal tract. I would highly encourage anyone to take the opportunity to go through the program and heal their system and gain an incredible amount of knowledge in the process. Thank you Cindy for putting together such an in-depth educational program you made a huge difference in my life."  Michael B

Soccer, Stringed Bikinis, The Samba, The Amazon, Passion

When most people think of  Brazil,  images of soccer, scanty bikinis, passion, the samba,and the Amazon may be dancing in their heads. Food rarely springs to mind when I think of Brazil, but all that changed today and I decided to write about it.

I walked into my 6:00 AM yoga class this morning to see one of my nicest yoga teachers, Dana, back from his two-week trip to Brazil.  What I noticed immediately was a change in his face: less ruddy and less puffy.  Gone was the inflammation apparent before he left.  I had been trying to come up with a way to explain why it's so important to eat organic foods that are living, local, and sustainably grown.   Dana's face was a walking poster ad that summed it all up with no words needed.

When  I asked him how his trip was, he did not mention soccer or bikinis, nor the samba or the Amazon.  He described vistas of sugarcane as far as he could see with chickens, goats, lamb, steer, cows and llamas all freely grazing.  He talked about breakfasts consisting of fresh, succulent fruits, eggs with vibrant colored yolks and salads of fresh lettuce and tomato with olive oil, fresh lemon juice and salt.  All the meals were sumptuously and simply prepared from foods gathered and bought from the family farm where he was staying and surrounding farms.

Dana had experienced a detox just by eating real food: clean, fresh, and organic and it changed him.  It changed the way he looked and I may be wrong, but I think it changed something inside of him too. He rediscovered the powerful connection between humans and the source of our sustenance that is missing from our modern industrial food system.  Manufactured food that so often comes to us looking shiny and perfect and similar to real food lacks flavor, nutrient value and the intrinsic value that connects us with the land and each other.

I'll save going into the biochemical reasons of why it's so important to eat organic and locally grown for another post, but I invite you to eat real food like Dana did for 30 days.
 For 30 days try eating only foods that are fresh, organic, grass fed, and wild caught.  Eat foods that your ancestors would have eaten.  That means no:
     bottled dressings
     no preservatives
     no artificial anything
     minimize packaged foods.
To save money and time frozen organic vegetables and fruit, are okay.

Take a picture of yourself before and after the 30 days.  Write down all the things that are bothering you now. Then see if they are still bothering you at the end of the 30 days.   Some examples of this might dry skin, itchy eyes, digestive issues, fatigue, a foggy brain, puffiness, etc. Whatever is bothering you or you are taking medication for, write it down!

Just do it!  You will feel refreshed and rejuvenated, and everyone around you will see it in your face!

Leave your questions below in the comments and I will respond.  If you want to brag, send me your before and after photos to inspire us all!

To your health and well being,
Cindy

For a little extra help and guidance making this kind of leap, I will be leading an exciting and eye opening, webinar based, 30 day detox starting July 9th. Stay tuned for more information about this event.

Savory Lil Cocktail to Cleanse You Liver and Gallbladder

As you can see from my last two posts, I'm kind of in a detox mode and for good reason! Last Thursday was the beginning of a 30 Day Detox that I'm very fortunate to be leading for 16 very brave and dedicated people. Since it is a whole body detox, it includes steps for detoxifying the liver which works many hours overtime and is not to be ignored. The surprisingly delicious little liver detox cocktail, featured here, is one of my favorite recipes that is included in the detox notebook.  The sweetness and tang from the grapefruit and the spiciness of the garlic and ginger makes this a truly savory drink that heals as well as satisfies your taste buds.

Serves 1

Ingredients:
1  Grapefruit Juiced the old fashioned way with a hand juicer 

1/2 clove of Elephant Garlic or 1 clove regular garlic
1 dime slice slice of ginger
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil (not pictured here)
Dash of Cayenne pepper

Throw all of these ingredients into your blender to make a mouth watering lil cocktail that will make your liver and gallbladder sing!  Blend for a quick minute until just a little bit frothy.

A little more about our detox powerhouse.... The Liver is one of our most resilient organs with the job of clearing out the toxins and trash that accumulate in our bodies from the environment, the processed foods that we eat and variety of OTC and prescription medications that are so readily at our disposal.  How  do you know if your liver is overworked and under supported? Do you perhaps have high cholesterol, high triglycerides, gallstones, poor fat absorption, excess estrogen, Parkinson's or Alzheimers, or elevated homocysteine levels or liver enzymes? 

Detox Package

This Detox Combo below is one of my favorites!   The combination of these products offer a wonderfully fully supported and safe detoxification of the liver and kidneys, soothes and heals the digestive system, and helps to gently with improve elimination.  The shakes taste great and are a plant based rice and pea protein, offering about 24 grams of protein per serving.

30 Day Whole Body Detox

Join me on a life changing 30 Day Detox to Reset your Body and Your Brain.  

Detox, Lose Weight, Glow, Have Energy and a Happy Brain.

    There are 3 phases to this detox  and will take a total of 5 weeks which includes an introduction week. The three phases of the actual 30 day detox process consists of a Pre-Cleanse, the Actual Cleanse and a Re-entry phase.  During the 5 weeks, you will learn how your body works and how to support it to lose weight and be happy.  You will learn how to support a healthy digestive system, balance hormones to have energy, experience fabulous sleep, and have a brain that is calm and focused.

 This 5 week, life changing program, includes weekly support and education with webinars and a facebook page for discussions, a binder including, a workbook, self test for easy assessment of where your body needs the most support, easy healthy recipes, and an eating plan for the 4 weeks that will help you to lose weight, detox, and reset your metabolism.  All this and a tremendous amount of support as well.  

I am offering this course in a Webinar format so that people all over the world can benefit. It is very easily accessed from where ever you are and a recording of a session will be available for 2 weeks if you miss one.

This journey, starting Thursday, February 27th, will help you to understand why it is so important to heal key body systems in order to get your body working the way that it used to or the way you'd like it to work but maybe never has. You'll learn why the standard formula of fewer calories in and more calories out, often does not equal weight loss and how to step up your metabolism.

 I have led this class for 5 years and I have seen so many people get their lives back again, which truly makes me very happy!

 A personal note from me: This 5 week class is close to my heart because of the transformation and healing that anyone who comes will experience.  I am able to give a tremendous amount of support, information, guidance and tools inexpensively and I get to watch transformations occur that are amazing and uplifting.  I love supporting, teaching and watching participants understand their bodies and helping them to make lifestyle changes.  And because of the format, it allows a person to receive so much for a fraction of the cost of private consultations.  My clients pay me up to $750 to be guided through a program like this if they came to see me on a one on one basis.  I am very excited to finally be able to make it available to anyone, anywhere with this Webinar format 

Much of what is presented in this program is based on the book by Dr. Mark Hyman, The Ultramind but there is much, much more as well.

Experiences of previous clients/participants:

• There were so many firsts for me during this class. This was the first time I could function off of my anti depressants, the first time I've studied the effects of nutrition on my brain, the first time someone has listened to my particulars and had suggestions that actually worked. You are so fun and I enjoyed our class so much. Thank you for leading us.” Shannon

• I feel better than I have in years. I have lost the ugly belly fat….I feel happy-I can’t remember when I was just happy. My cholesterol drop 30 points. EH

• You provided me with a space to try different things that I would never have done on my own. And I didn't even realize how much I benefited from everything that I did and learned until some months down the road, after the class, when I began to feel sluggish and anxious again because I was no longer incorporating any of what I had learned. It works!! If was a gift to myself!

• I had been struggling with food allergies for years with stomach distension and cramping as a result and have tried many different remedies with little to no result. Then I had the opportunity to participate in your Broken Brain Program and for the first time in my life experienced relief and healing of my stomach and intestinal track. I would highly encourage anyone to take the opportunity to go through the program and heal their system and gain an incredible amount of knowledge in the process. Thank you Cindy for putting together such an in-depth educational program you made a huge difference in my life. Michael Buskey Jan 2012
