Years ago I co-facilitated a juice detox with John R. F. Lewis and we had such an incredible time with lots of positive feedback. Since then I have done some of my own cleanses and detoxes, but not in group form. A friend and colleague recently reached out to me wanting to co-facilitate a 5-day Cleanse container and of course, sweet memories came flooding in!

So here we go!

March 9-13, we will be facilitating a 5 day cleanse which will provide optional purchase of juices, bone broth, liver detox blend, herbal supplements, fresh made plant based milk, and more! You also have the option of juicing on your own and simply join the group for mutual support and encouragement.

Below is what I will be offering for purchase outside of the group.

Please message me if you are interested in joining the group where tips will be shared on how to prepare before the 5 days and how to reintroduce foods on the others end.

So looking forward to clearing our bodies and minds together in preparation for Spring! 😊

There is a lot of noise about the new dietary guidelines released this year. My thoughts as an Integrative Nutrition Mentor? In short, there is no 1 recommendation fits all!

Basically, these guidelines first emerged in 1894, established by a group of white middle aged men working for the USDA. The goal was to recommend what was cheapest and could feed families. When the US entered WW1, the main goal was to improve the health of our soldiers, fighting men who were not getting adequate nutrition.

When foods were split into food groups, now established industries such as the dairy industry had a great influence of which foods were to be their own food groups and for a while "milk" had its own category!

Over time, it has been challenging to tell American to consume less of anything especially as the meat, dairy and egg industries fought back.

I support the latest recommendation in that they explicitly recommend a drastic reduction of processed foods, refined carbs and sugars, and foods containing chemical additives. However, it is to be noted that all recommendations are based on the ways and lifestyle of a colonial world living in disharmony with the natural environment, the seasons, ancestral living and functional lifestyles. In addition, individual genetic factors are far from considered.

So before blindly following a National Recommendation that somehow applies to you individually, let's take a step back and ask the questions.

For a personalized journey to establish your own personalized dietary "guidelines", feel free to PM me to schedule a free Disvovery Session.

After 19 days of liquid fasting, I didn’t rush back into “normal” eating. I slowly started bringing back small amounts of nutrient rich foods.

I began with blended vegetable soups and a few slices of avocado. From there, I added small amounts of liver, a food I personally value for its nutrient density, especially for vitamin A, B12, iron, copper, and choline. I treat it as a concentrated nutrient source, not a main protein.

In the days that followed, I continued with soups blended in bone broth, cooked vegetables, modest amounts of fruit, and small servings of liver patté, while implementing structure with an 18:6 intermittent fasting rhythm. My eating window is currently 12–6 PM (will be looking to move it into earlier hours in the following week).

After a prolonged fast, the body can be more sensitive to rapid increases in calories and carbohydrates. Moving slowly helps reduce metabolic and digestive stress. Keeping a defined eating window also helped me maintain consistency as my digestion and appetite recalibrated.

Right now, I’m paying close attention to:

• energy levels
• digestion and comfort
• electrolyte signals
• portion tolerance
• hunger and satiety cues

Refeeding is a transition phase that deserves patience, structure, and respect for the body’s feedback. So I'm taking it easy and continuing to listen.

Fasting for me is first and foremost a spiritual practice. One that has been a part of my life since I was a teenage when I would water fast weekly from Monday night to Wednesday morning to avail my mind to higher spiritual attainment and not be bogged down by food digestion. I would read, pray, contemplate the world and food that it was easier for me to gain clarity and deeper understandings while in a fasted state.

This is my personal experience, not medical advice. Prolonged fasting and refeeding aren’t appropriate for everyone, and professional guidance matters.

I know I haven't kept everyone updated on this platform, but I have been on a little journey to clear and release attachements, patterns, addictions, and burdens while aligning with the deeper truths of my being, allowing, surrendering and receiving. Becoming a "hollow bone" as they say.
Fasting allows me to redirect energy that would otherwise be used for digesting toward higher thoughts and meditations.
I do not have a goal set, listening to my body and taking things 1 day at a time 🙏🏾

Had to repost this!!
We need to stop believing everything multi-billion corporations tell us and begin thinking with some common sense while returning to what is natural and nourishes our natural bodies.

The first 3 days on liquids are always the hardest for me. That's when my body is trying to adjust to not having solid foods. That's when cravings are felt the most, sometimes even feeling a small headache coming on. After Day 3, things start getting a bit easier as my system settles into this new "normal", for a little while ar least!

Overall, I feel great! Still seeing Massage clients for deeper tissue work and feeling strong 💪🏾😁

Why do I fast?

My main reason for fasting is Spiritual.
When I fast and my energy isn't all wrapped up in digesting foods, I feel more open and connected to my divine nature. I can think more clearly and feel more inspired and aligned. This is where I prefer to be when working on any creative endeavors 💕🌈🪷

If you have any questions about liquid fasting, feel free to PM me or comment on this thread!
