Rachel Feldman: MyMind.Body.Green Article : Rev Up Your Metabolism with a 1 Day Mini Cleanse

Being a health coach and a detox specialist has taught me so much about cleansing. So often people think we have to do an extreme juice detox if we want to rid our bodies of unwanted toxicity, and recharge our digestion.

Well, allow me to debunk this myth:

You do not have to do an extreme cleansing program to recharge, renew, and rev up your metabolism for the summer months!

If you’d like to jump-start your way into the body you want and deserve, here’s a 1-day detox that’s safe and simple. I always suggest trying a cleanse for one day and noticing how your body feels:

Do you feel more alive?
Do you feel more energy?
Do you feel less bloated?

Notice how you feel during this one day detox and most importantly, have FUN!

5 Tips For Cleansing

Start a journal to document this amazing process.
Realize that you’re going to shed what does not serve you both physically and emotionally.
Eat/drink every 3 hours to stabilize your blood sugar.
If you want to boost your detox experience, feel free to get crazy and add some superfoods like spirulina or chlorophyll to your juices or smoothies for extra energy.
Regular bowel movements are important for proper detoxification! If you are not “going” then try drinking senna tea or more lemon water to better support your liver and alkalize your body.

I am a kick-ass business coach for health and wellness professionals, who are sick and tired of having businesses that do not attract the ideal client or when they do, they do not have a system to teach them. I help them define niche, story, backstory, a system, and a leak-free business sales funnel. I had my own health struggles that lead me to be a health coach and then organically became a biz coach after my struggles and mastered my own leak free business funnel system. I went from making 13k to 6 figures by year 3 and now I am proud to say, I rock a business that feeds my soul, my spirit, and my family.
