When you imagine a cleanse, what do you think of? A fad or crash diet where you subsist on liquids alone? Spending hundreds of dollars on specialty foods you dont even like? Suffering or feeling on edgesomewhere between passing out and sprinting to the nearest doughnut shop? Or even worse, waking up a week later to realize youve somehow gained back the 10 pounds you lost?

That kind of crash cleansing is not what this book is about. A conscious cleanse is a much gentler, holistic process that teaches you how to pay attention to your body and its sensitivities. The end result may be weight loss, but more importantly, it will be a renewed sense of energy, satisfaction, and self-love.

Jules and Jo, the founders of the Conscious Cleanse, are an odd couple of health innovators with entirely different nutrition histories. Their firsthand experience proves that no one way of eating or cleansing works for everyone. Thats the principle behind their exceptional 2-week program: a cleanse that can benefit and adapt to anyone, at any level of health, fitness, or happiness.

Increasingly, we live in a world where people are disconnected from their bodies. Whether we suffer from illnesses related to the standard American diet (SAD); deprive our bodies in an endless pursuit to be thin; or manipulate our bodies with aggressive, soul-crushing workouts, most of us share the same ailment: a complete and total disregard for the subtle, critical information our body provides on a daily basis. Its time to start trusting our bodies to know whats best for us, to stop ignoring the many signs and signals that can lead us to better health.

A conscious cleanse is not a diet. There is no calorie restriction, suffering, or starvation. Studies have shown that nearly 95 percent of people who diet gain back the weight within a year. This is about subtle shiftsin your awareness, in your taste buds, in your overall consciousness. An effective cleanse helps you uncover the power of your bodys knowledge and discover what foods do or do not work for you. First and foremost, The Conscious Cleanse is an invitation to step back, to give yourself the gift of time, and to be attentive to the ways in which your habits may be preventing you from living your best life.

If you already lead a healthy lifestyle and think you feel great, consider this: most people dont realize how bad they feel until they start feeling better. Most of us have gotten so used to being fatigued, bloated, depressed, or plagued with illnesses like allergies or digestive problems that we consider those ailments normal. But what if you had the chance to feel extraordinaryto not only know that you live a healthy lifestyle, but to actually reap the benefits?

Having devoted my life to the study of health and wellness, I find the work of nutrition leaders like Jo and Jules a constant source of inspiration. They are the guides lighting our way out of the tunnel, sharing their experiences to help the rest of us achieve greater health and happiness. Taking back our bodies is not a complicated process, but its not something we can achieve instantly. Its only through intentional thought, planning, and action that we can begin to recognize the obstacles that conspire against our health. But with the support of health leaders like Jo and Jules, whose personal battles have led them to contribute to the greater good, we can all learn to give ourselves the gift of health and create a ripple effect that, in turn, shares this gift with the rest of the world.
