what's the gist?
Q: Gimme the gist, man.
A: Alright, alright. So I've split the work up into 3 phases, over 10 days--so you can step into summer with a big fat glow.
PHASE 1 is all about noticing. the quality of your food. the source of your protein. the quality of your relationships. the crap in your home. just... noticing.
i'll challenge you to stop snackin' so much and start sitting down to real deal meals again.
i will also ask you start--nothing crazy--but just start, to cut back on addicting stimulants like coffee and sugar. and anything else that would result in headaches and withdrawal symptoms if you went cold turkey (malbec much?).

its a bit by bit thing. not a startle-the-shit-out-of-you, thing. oh, and you'll start making your bed. easy enough right?
PHASE 2: food wise, you'll keep moving in the direction of count em, three meals a day.
you'll give your liver, the mother of all organs (overworked, underpaid), a break--by reducing or omitting (depending on your edge)--caffeine, sugar, meat, dairy and booze. its 3 days, people. you got this.
this is also the phase you'll be channeling your inner-Gloria Estefan. because the rhythm is gonna get'cha... you're going to get on a roll decluttering your home, and those wild thoughts that infest your mind, too. because no detox is complete without letting go of the crap that weighs us down.

you'll stop, for 3 days anyway, saying yes to everyone and their mother.
you'll, believe it, say no instead. you'll make sleep a priority. you'll take it easy on social media. you'll whip up something clean (+ likely green) from the ReCiPe GuIdE.
here's what we won't be doing. downing a buncha crappy chemical-y decaf, complaining about how much we miss our stupid Starbucks. nor are we going to be moping around in a dirty bathrobe, wishing we were eating a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. because we're going to be focusing on the stuff that makes us... glow.
but, I know, you're still worried about the coffee thing. don't be. I happened to have the most divine cup of decaf locked + loaded for you. swear to God, it's smooth, fair trade-y, and legit. and one lucky duck will score a pound of it.. because when I run these programs, I like to give stuff away.
See what I mean? Phase 2 isn't the phase you think it is, the no-you can't have this or that, phase. it's the opposite. it's the phase that asks us to SAY YES. to the morning mug of your dreams, to basil + strawberries, and to the space you've been craving.
it's the phase I fill a wine glass up with citrus kombucha and raise it to my blue moon, saying--see you in a few days, friend. mama's got some self care to do...
PHASE 3: you'll pay attention. you will introduce, one dude at a time, those things you took out the leading up to this point...
this helps people isolate their body's reaction to the gluten, the coffee, the dairy, etc.
but you won't go un-doing all that holy work like a mad(wo)man. you'll re-enter caffeine into your system AFTER you eat. You'll pour some chardonnay WITH your meal. because detoxing, you'll know by now, isn't about you + your will. it's about getting out of the body's brilliant way.
as it turns out, your body doesn't actually want to eat all day long. it wants us to calm the hell down, eat 3 legit meals a day, and LIVE in the space between them.

In this final lap of the detox, you will also find out what your dosha is, a fancy Ayurvedic word for--constitution, or who the heck you are. because it's damn important to know what kind of things restore balance for you, and what kind of things send you flying off the deep end. and it's doubly damn important to be aware of the fact that the people you live with, work with, and take care of, have different doshas than you do.
take my husband and I, for example. what sends me spinning doesn't even make him flinch. our propensities, and offerings--are soooo different. and by taking the dosha test, we get a nifty little opportunity. to let you. be who you are. and let the ones you love. be who they are.

So that's the gist. But definitely not the juice.
