Since those summers with Grandma, I have explored the most popular methods of detoxification. I have done water fasting, the lemonade “master cleanse” fast, the macrobiotic brown rice cleanse, the cold juice fast, the kichadi cleanse, the candida diet, the gallbladder flush, anti-parasite programs, herbal cleanses and even an extreme Ayurvedic cleanse with a saltwater purge

Sadly, these extreme cleanses left me depleted, which damped my digestion and primed my gut for inflammation.

• Water fasting didn’t provide any protection from the free radicals that are produced in the body through the process of metabolism.
• The lemonade “master cleanse” sent my blood sugar flying...only to crash an hour later, and after a week on the fast, my mouth was full of canker sores and my moods erratic.
• The brown rice cleanse was too high in carbohydrate and was so incredibly boring that I binged on all kinds of bad food choices as soon as it was over.
• Cold juice fasting taxed my digestive fire and left me with indigestion.

To make matters worse...the lack of nutrition in these popular detox plans actually prevented  me from detoxing safely.

Here's why...

If you do not have a properly functioning bowel you’ll experience multiple toxic pileups on the freeway out of your body.

All the cells of your body, as well as your organs, rely upon a well-functioning bowel. Bowel cleansing is the first and most important thing to focus on as it opens the highway of detoxification. Imagine that your body systems working together to get the toxins from the tissues to the bowel, but it gets stopped by a log jam of toxin because the bowels are blocked.

If these toxins stop moving, they risk being picked up and recirculated back into the body. Yikes!

The Hot Detox will get your bowels working and moving properly by clearing toxic build up and congestion.

When you are young, your digestive juices are in their prime and work powerfully. Our digestive fire (called agni in Ayurveda) is the power of our digestive organs to process and absorb what we eat while burning off waste products. If we have a strong digestive fire, we are able to easily digest food and absorb its nutrients.

As you age, changes occur in your digestive tract. These changes lead to a decrease in digestive acid and enzymes, making it difficult to efficiently digest your food. It is typically at this stage in life when you may begin to experience a host of health problems, allergies, food sensitivities or food intolerances.

If we have a weak digestive fire, our body won’t digest well, creating an inflammatory environment. In turn, inflammatory foods can dampen the digestive fire by promoting negative microbes that disrupt the healthy microbiome of our gut ecology.

In fact, an inflammatory digestive environment can cause such a dramatic disturbance that we have a terrible time digesting and absorbing the foods we eat. We rely on our gut microbes, and if they are disrupted by poor eating habits, they can’t assist us with digestion.

Essentially, we are what we absorb.

I completely understand what it feels like to be in pain. I know you’re looking for an answer and have spent money and time on past programs failed you. But you still don’t feel quite 100% and you still may experience...

• Allergies to foods that you were NEVER allergic to before

• Constantly feeling lethargic and depleted

• Limping around from painful and stiff joints

• Fear of going out too far away from a bathroom or constipation so hard you see blood in your stools

• Brain fog so bad even finding common words to say didn’t come out

Here’s what my near-death experience taught me about detox & how to overcome living half a life...

In my early 30s I had just become a nutritionist and was taking a trip of a lifetime to Australia and Asia when the hammer came down. I ate the wrong Pad Thai, and the food poisoning nearly killed me. My fever ran so high that I could not even walk! Thankfully a friend carried me to a nearby nursing station, where emergency measures saved my life.

Although aggressive antibiotics saved me, the poisonous infection ravaged my gut and left me with post-infectious colitis. This inflammatory condition soon spread throughout my body and I began to suffer from arthritis, bursitis, brain fog, anxiety and pain.  I remember feeling so tired that all I could do was make it to the couch after a long day. I felt like I was 70 living in a 30 year old body.

That experience was truly devastating, but I realized I had a choice. I could spend my life under the curse of inflammatory pain or I could find a way back to wellness. I began to research and apply what I learned and day by day, I was able to regain my health.

Now, I am in full remission and living an incredibly joyful life with my husband, Alan. I am pain-free and filled with so much authentic energy, I want to share this feeling with you!

The Hot Detox is a deep cleansing program that serves up a delicious warming menu with anti-inflammatory remedies that spark digestive vitality. Results are not obtained through deprivation, special supplements or depleting your body of its essential nutrients.

You can have delicious, healing food with a balanced approach over 21 days instead of a crash diet or fast that will leave you jonesing for sugary or fried junk food.

The Hot Detox Program is the healing blueprint that will set you up for success. It’s a loving home base that you can return to whenever you need to reset. Not only will it help you now, but it will set you up for a lifetime of healthy living and vitality.

The unfortunate truth is that most people are running on empty. Maybe you are living in fight or flight, with a stressed out work life that doesn’t serve you long term. Maybe you have some anxiety about the future because you don’t feel great right now and wonder how things will play out as you get older?

Maybe you suffer from a health condition, and all the worry gets compounded, you begin to feel isolated from others feel like you are watching life from the side lines.

If you feel short on time, that life is so busy to start something new or that tempting fast food is everywhere, you are not alone. A recent survey shared that the 2 out of 5 people last less than a week on a diet before they go back to their old lifestyle.

The good news is that I have been a nutritionist for over 20 years and have the tools that can make a real difference. I’ve written 3 award-winning books, been on nationally-syndicated TV shows (including the Dr. Oz Show and the Marilyn Denis Show), given keynote lectures around the world and created programs that have helped thousands of people come back from the brink of illness to a state of vibrancy.

I’ve designed the Hot Detox to be a step-by-step program for YOUR journey to wellness. It’s like stepping into my kitchen to try the foods and habits that helped me clear out the toxins and heal my body.

The Hot Detox Program is the program I wish I had when I was recovering from my illness. It’s taken me years to fine tune it and provide a proven system that has helped thousands of people start their own healing path. I wanted it to be fun and that people loved the process. Plus, it had to be able to fit into busy lifestyles and avoided any expensive supplements or protocols.

It really comes down to enjoying good, wholesome food. In just 3 weeks people typically report experiencing these kinds of results…

• Better moods, including reduced anxiety and depression
• Improved skin texture and color, including reduction in acne and eczema
• Improved memory, sharper focus and greater attention span
