The Cleanse For All Seasons To End All Diets

We all heard that diets don’t work, we all know it and yet we go on the next diet in search for… Our hopes and dreams! We hope that diets will magically transform us and give us “the answer”. That we will finally stop struggling. That we will finally feel good about ourselves. That we will finally love the way we look. That we will finally be healthy and happy. But here is the truth about why diets don’t work: ~ They focus on weight loss first. Prioritizing weight loss results (and faster = “better”) often comes at the expanse of our health. ~ Diet programs put us in the position of fighting our body instead of friending it. ~ They give us the message that we need to be controlled and tricked instead of trusted. ~ They emphasize what we need to eliminate, avoid and reduce instead of what we need to bring in. ~ Most diets have a built in failure, after all they are a money making industries that rely on returning customers. ~ Diets make us feel “bad” and like it’s our fault we “failed” because we didn’t follow them perfectly. ~ They make us feel like we have a problem and they are the solution. ~ Many diets smartened up and say they are a lifestyle, not a diet, but they still operate like one. ~ Almost everyone that loses weight on a diet gains it back. Here is where I reveal why I congratulate you for failing at dieting: they are impossible to stay on for a sustainable amount of time. It is your healthy instincts and healthy nature that make THEM the failure. You have succeeded in not following the unhealthy attitudes, messages and practices of diets. So CONGRATULATIONS again.

All the cleanses that I have seen on the market are designed as Spring cleanses. They are too “cleansing” and not nourishing enough during other seasons. Think about it, eating raw salads and drinking fresh juices and frozen smoothies in January does not work with our body. During the cold months we need foods that are warming and nourishing. Trying to do a spring cleanse during other seasons will not make us feel good. We will feel resistance to following it because it goes against what are bodies need during that particular season. The cleanse for all seasons will give you the exact food choices, preparation methods and health practices that are in harmony with each season. It will be natural and easy to follow and your body will thrive.

What would it feel like to have that? Can a cleanse really do all that? You Bet! Here’s why!

Reason # 1 The cleanse and your mental health Our digestive system is responsible to processing food and delivering nutrients to our body AND it is closely connected to our brain, in fact, they were both formed from the same tissue and our gut is often referred to as our “second brain”. Recent evidence shows how our digestive health is connected to our mental health. This cleanse focuses on healing your digestion and as a result prevents and improves mental and brain related illnesses. Reason # 2 The cleanse and your emotional health Processed, refined and high sugary food messes our blood sugar level. It spikes it up to dangerous levels to be followed by a crush. This roller coaster of blood sugar ups and downs has a direct affect on our emotions. When our blood sugar level is high we feel a very momentary false euphoric high and when we crash we feel cranky, confused, irritated, depressed and fogy. Unbalanced blood sugar level also weakens our will power so resisting sugar is hard if not impossible. This cleanse gets you off that roller coaster by focusing on foods and practices that help balance your blood sugar level, reducing your cravings for refined and processed foods and balancing your mood and emotions. Reason # 3 The cleanse and your energetic health Eating packaged and chemical laced foods make us tired and can cause chronic fatigue and other chronic conditions that make it hard for us to function. This cleanse gives you lot of energy. In fact, it is the #1 result everyone notices shortly after starting the cleanse. Reason # 4 The cleanse and your physical health Our modern food is very low in nutrients and very high in addictive additives, both causing us to eat more than we need. We have become a society of overeating and starving women. The cleanse is full of foods that are nutritionally dense so you feel satisfied and nourished from the inside.

In a society that defines health as a lack of illness many of us have come to accept certain conditions as normal: ~ Feeling tired ~ Feeling listless ~ Craving sugar and processed foods ~ Feeling heavy ~ Being constipated ~ Having allergies ~ Not feeling motivated to take care of ourselves ~ Having skin problems ~ Having weak/dry/thinning hair ~ Slowing down as we age ~ Feeling slightly (or majorly) depressed All those conditions and many others are a sign of being out of balance. You don’t have to have a debilitating condition or a life threatening illness to be unhealthy.

You don’t have to settle for this narrow and limited definition of health. Yet so many of us do not know what it’s like to experience radiant health that makes you feel like your whole body and your whole being is singing a song of gratitude for life itself. The Cleanse For All Season Proven Results: Increasing energy Repairing and healing the digestive system Reducing and eliminating unhealthy cravings Improving sleep Reducing allergies Increasing focus Improving skin, nail and hair condition Feeling physically, mentally and emotionally lighter Getting rid of accumulated toxins Improving mood Restoring radiance and well being This cleanse will make you feel new and sparkly inside and out.

How to use this cleanse

A cleanse is not something you do once. It is built into a healthy routine to be followed regularly. Many religions and spiritual traditions have cleanses (like meat free days) and fasting built into their practices at different times of the year. How I personally use this cleanse: I follow the full 7 days once every season. Some seasons I might do it for longer that 7 days. I also follow it for 1-3 days monthly. It helps me energize and reset my healthy practices. How my clients follow it: I recommend to do the whole 7 days once a season. I recommend to do the whole 7 days if you strayed away from your healthy habits, have digestive problems or need to built up your energy and strength. I recommend to do it for 1-3 days once a month. Because this cleanse is gentle and gradual, it is safe to follow it as often as you need. This cleanse is your home-base. Repeat it whenever you need a reset. There is no wrong way of doing the cleanse. ~ The more you follow it, the more you will get out of it. ~ Do what YOU can and as much as YOU can. ~ Feel free to create a shorter version of this cleanse anytime. ~ You can do a 3 day cleanse. ~ You can even do a one day cleanse. ~ It is easy to follow and anyone can do it. I will be happy to provide you with email support while you are on the cleanse. Please feel free to email me any questions you have to contact [at] healthnutgirl [dot] com

Many cleanses on the market charge hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Some include products that cost even more. The Cleanse for All Seasons is yours for a ridiculously low price.

WHY?

This cleanse used to be part of my private clients’ program that cost a few thousand dollars. As I realized how helpful it is to everyone who is trying to improve their health, I started offering it as a private group program for a few hundred dollars. As an online self-implemented program, I am able to offer it at a fraction of the price so it can reach so many more women. It is my intention to help as many women as I can reclaim their health and their right to live a radiant and joyful life.

This cleanse is structured like no other cleanse in the market. You only have to buy it once and you can follow it over and over again with great results.

The cost of this cleanse is $99 (valued at $247).

The health benefits are priceless.

Your money will go to a good cause.

Besides being a health coach and a mama, I am a big animal lover and 10% of my total income goes to a no kill animal shelter. Every purchase of this cleanse will help care for for these wonderful animals.

Who am I and what I do?

Short version:

My name is Rachel Kieffer and I am a certified holistic nutrition and health coach. I have been working with women for over 35 years, helping them create a healthy life with private consultations, group coaching, workshops and programs. I am a best selling author of 2 collaborative books ‘Unleash Your Inner Magnificence’ and ‘365 To Connect With Your Soul’, I write extensively on my blog, for Aspire magazine and for Elements For A Healthier Life magazine. I am a frequent guest speaker in podcasts, health summits and radio shows. My goal is to guide every woman I work with to heal her relationship with food, with her body, with herself and fall in love with a healthy life.

Long version:

My journey to food and health started when I was 10 years old and decided to become a vegetarian. It wasn’t a decision based on health, it was based on animal love. My mom started cooking more vegetarian dishes for me and for everyone in the family and through that learned about healthier eating. When I was in high school my parents opened 2 health food stores in our hometown in Israel and I worked there every day after school. As clients asked me for recommendations for their many health issues I learned how to connect the foods they were eating, how they were living and what they were missing to give them the right recommendations. We also had a clinic in the store where different holistic practitioners worked for one day a week and I learned a lot from collaborating with them. I became the health expert among my family, friends and townsfolk.

While I was helping everyone with their health problems I was struggling with my own issues of body image, relationship with food and taking care of myself. My relationship with my body and food got worse during my 20s and I started to develop patterns of compulsive eating and binging. My journey of recovery included many aspects that I combine in my work; nutritional understanding and guidance that I got as a student of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, support groups that I participated in and led and spiritual practices that helped me heal my wounded self.

I have studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition for 3 years and got my certificate as a holistic nutrition and health coach. After my graduation I worked there on staff for a few years, coaching their students, seeing private clients and teaching group cooking classes. While working there I started my own private practice and since worked with thousands of women with 1:1 consultation programs, group coaching programs and online programs. I absolutely love seeing women transform their relationship with themselves, prioritize their health and learn to thrive and shine with radiance. It is my life’s work to teach the message of self-love, self-care and health and to reach as many women as I can.

I live in New York City with my musician husband Izzy, son Gavriel, a dog named Teddy, a cat named Chance and 2 parakeets named Katia and Wendy who we found out later were males but decided to keep their girlie names.

Let’s talk poop. Okay, you can feel embarrassed and take a giggle break. You’re back? Great! Here is the gist: our bowl movement is a huge indication of our digestive and overall health. How many times a day do you eliminate? For some, constipation can be a real issue and they do not eliminate daily. Others eliminate daily. But ideally you would eliminate after every meal. YES, after every meal that you eat you would have a bowl movement when everything is functioning and working properly. Not there? You’re not alone, most people aren’t. This cleanse will help you get there. One of the important benefits that my cleanse participant report is more frequent elimination.

Frequently Asked Questions

~ Why a seasonal cleanse? What if I want to eat a summer recipe in the winter? Or crave more hearty food in the summer? Eating foods that are seasonal, local, whole and fresh is one of the best ways to nourish your body. Seasonal foods harmonize the body with nature and with the environment. When you eat seasonally you will feel more energized, more relaxed, stronger and better. But please remember that this cleanse is flexible and so are the recommendations and recipes. You do not have to follow them 100%. If you crave a crisp salad in the winter, have it! If you crave a hearty chili in the summer, have it! As long as you follow most of the recommendations, it is ok to make exceptions. It is also important to understand that your body has internal conditions. It might need to feel cooler even if the weather is cold or it might need to get warmer even if the weather is warm. Listen to your body’s signals and needs and follow them as best you can with the seasonal recommendations as a general guide. ~ How often can I do this cleanse? I recommend to do the cleanse once a season. I and many of my clients and the women in my health groups do. I also recommend to do a shorter version of it, 1-3 days, once a month. ~ Will I lose weight following the cleanse? Very likely. However, the purpose of this cleanse is not to lose weight but to cleanse, repair and nourish your digestive system, to identify and change eating patterns that no longer serve you and create new and nurturing ways to eat and live. The only way to achieve a healthy and permanent weight loss is by transforming your eating habits and lifestyle. ~ I am vegan, will the cleanse work for me? Yes. This cleanse does not follow any dietary agenda. You can follow it and modify it as needed to fit your food preferences. So whether you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, lactose intolerant, keep kosher or follow any other dietary system, you can do this cleanse. In the food recommendation and recipes I always include a few options, including a vegan option, to fit a variety of needs. Feel free to modify them even more to make it work for you. ~ Is it a liquid only cleanse? No. This cleanse includes plenty of food. You will not starve. It emphasizes foods that will naturally support your digestive system and help your body cleanse, get rid of toxins, rejuvenate and heal. ~ Do I have to know how to cook? Every day you will be given a list of foods to focus on and suggested meals and recipes. It is easy to follow and anybody can do it. It is best if you prepare your own food but you can also eat out and get prepared foods. ~ I am a compulsive overeater/emotional eater/binge eater, how will this cleanse affect me? This cleanse is a wonderful and gentle opportunity to start transforming your relationship with food. It will clearly show you how certain addictive foods are affecting you and help you start breaking the bonds that those foods have over you. Let your experience be your guide. If you are not ready to give up a certain food, that is ok, continue with the rest of the cleanse. If 7 days are too long, that is ok, do 3 days, or 1, or start with a cleansing meal. You can go back to this cleanse a few weeks later and do a little more. There is no wrong way of doing this cleanse and anything is better than nothing. I highly recommend to get plenty of support and not embark on a health journey alone. Please contact me to schedule a consultation and/or join one of my women health groups. ~ Does this cleanse address food sensitivities? This cleanse gradually moves you away from foods that many of us are sensitive to and towards foods that your body digests well. If you want to take a closer look at your food sensitivities I recommend to schedule a private consultation and/or join one of my women health groups. ~ Is the cleanse sugar free? Grain free? Gluten free? I do recommend to get off refined sugar for the entire cleanse and use it as an opportunity to avoid it or at least reduce it afterwards. The cleanse includes healthier and more natural sugars that you can use in moderation. If you feel ready for more you can certainly avoid those as well. The recipes include a variety of natural sweets and treats that you can choose from. This cleanse is not gluten free or grain free, it includes a variety of whole grains and grain products. I do recommend to focus more on whole grains and less on processed grain products. You can easily follow the cleanse with a gluten free version by focusing on gluten-free and/or higher protein grains like quinoa, buckwheat, millet, teff, amaranth and gluten free oats. ~ What if I want to follow the cleanse for a shorter or a longer time? This cleanse is designed as a 7 day cleanse but you can follow it for 5 days, 3 days or even one day. You can follow it for 10, 14 or 21 days. Just make sure to follow the gradual progression of the cleanse and do not stay on day 4 for more than one day without a health coach’s personal guidance. So for example, if you want to do the cleanse for 5 days follow day 1, day 2, day 3, day 6 and day 7. If you want to follow the cleanse for 10 days follow day 1, day 2, day 3, day 3, day 4, day 5, day 5, day 6, day 6, day 7. Please feel free to contact me if you need me to structure it for you. ~ Should I eat smaller more frequent meals or bigger less frequent meals? Should I have snacks? The menu plan is structured as a 3 meal plan but you don’t have to follow it that way. You might find that at different seasons your preferences change. I often prefer to eat a bigger lunch and a lighter dinner, so feel free to switch meals around. I find that when I am following my hunger signals and when my body is happy and balanced I tend to eat 2 meals a day and sometimes have a snack. Listen to your body and follow your own hunger signals. This cleanse will help you to do that. ~ I do not have time to prepare smoothies and juices in the morning. Can I make them anytime? Absolutely. The daily recommendations are flexible, so make and drink your smoothies and juices any time of the day. You can also prepare them the night before and drink them in the morning. Do it in whatever way it works for you.
