For more than a decade, the creators of the UEC, Jessica Ross (M.S., L.Ac. and Dipl. C.H), April Bernardi (RYT, HHC), and Stacy Plaske (BA, RYT, HHC) have been on a path of self-discovery and self-improvement. On this journey, we found the many facets of holistic healing, including yoga, acupuncture, massage therapy, colonics, herbal medicine, and nutrition. Together we have combined our extensive knowledge and previous cleansing experiences to create this product for you.
We are honored that you are considering committing the next seven days to cleansing, rejuvenating and beautifying your body, mind, and spirit. The gift of nourishing and nurturing yourself will help bring a new awareness to how the elements you take in (i.e. food, beverage, media, people, experiences, etc.) directly affect your energy, mood, sleep, digestion, and overall well-being. During the UEC, you will be learning many new ways of creating a healthier and happier lifestyle. Choosing, preparing and enjoying your food will take on a whole new meaning. Specially-formulated herbal supplements will gently detoxify your body and support you through this process.
This cleanse uses whole/organic/alkaline/vegan foods and specially-formulated Chinese herbs to cleanse the body, mind, and spirit from the inside out. This cleanse is not a fast. In fact, you can eat as much as you’d like of the specified foods on our food list. Making sure you eat enough of these delicious foods is a key component to a successful, enjoyable cleansing experience. The Chinese herbs gently yet effectively help facilitate the deep cleansing of tissues and organs while supporting and nourishing the body through this process.
Our wish for you is that at the completion of this cleanse, you will take many of these healthy practices and implement them into your daily life.
