Seasonal Cleanses

“It can be strongly said that the health of an individual is largely determined by the ability of the body to detoxify.”

-Joseph Pizzorno and Michael Murray
Encyclopedia of Natural Health

I offer 14-day cleanses each season to allow the body to detox gently, yet effectively, to optimize your health. Boosting immunity, decreasing internal inflammation, and supporting the liver, kidneys and adrenals is the foundation of this cleanse program.

The idea is that although our bodies are designed to naturally detoxify, modern life bombards us with toxins and pollutants like car exhaust, chemicals, plastics, pesticides and other environmental contaminants. Sadly this affects our water, air quality, and food supply.

Sugar, caffeine, alcohol and preservative-filled convenience foods also creep into our diets as good intentions slip over time. Cleansing allows your body to eliminate those toxins. A balanced cleanse restores energy, concentration and clarity of mind, glowing skin and hair, increased metabolism, balanced hormones and improved immunity.

Each 14-day cleanse is based on a plant-based, whole-foods diet and allows you to eat as many seasonal fruits and vegetables as you’d like, as well as nuts, seeds, legumes and gluten-free grains.

The program does not include animal protein (except wild fish), gluten, dairy or sugar. It also is full of rejuvenating self-care practices allowing you to reset your body and mind.

I provide a meal plan, with more than 35 recipes to choose from, as well as a comprehensive shopping list. I provide support before, during and after the cleanse to help you jump start healthy habits beyond the cleanse program.

More information about joining our next cleanse

Planning was never my forte. But I learned that planning pays off especially when it comes to healthy eating. I was diagnosed with IBS years ago so I have not eaten a salad in many years. On this cleanse, I ate salad. And more than that, I digested it. Raw lettuce and broccoli sprouts. Uncooked. Very new for me and very exciting.

After decades of avoiding raw vegetables, it is revolutionary to be eating them again. I am being careful. But still, already surprised. By day 5 (it’s a 14-day program), I’m feeling good. Feeling strong, calmer and sleeping much better. By day 14, I feel noticeably stronger and overall better.

I managed to eliminate my IBS symptoms 100%. And I’m down 67 points on my toxicity and inflammation score that Lori has us fill out. That seems pretty amazing to me. Thank you Lori!

I feel noticeably less bloated and I’ve lost (for me) a meaningful amount. I’m thinking about how to keep going so I can hold on to feeling lighter, cleaner and more energetic.

I am so glad I decided to join the Winter Cleanse. I had more energy within the first few days and started sleeping better. I found the Zoom calls to be very motivating and loved the tastiness of the recipes. If you are thinking about joining, do it. You will learn a ton and you won’t be hungry.

As a first-time participant, I was a little worried about doing the cleanse. But the recipes Lori provided (snacks/breakfast/lunch/dinner), her self-care ideas, her support and the support of the other participants calmed my fears. Lori provided guidance the entire week and has great pearls of wisdom to share. She is truly gifted.

Before the cleanse I had muscle and joint aches, dry skin, poor sleep, headaches, bloating and a few pounds to shed. After the cleanse all of that was resolved (even a few pounds lost and stayed off). I am a believer that food is good medicine for our gut, brain, joints, body and our mental clarity. Lori’s program proved that to be true. Thank you Lori!

Lori is on the cutting edge of nutrition. I participated in her Winter cleanse, and after learning so much about nutrition, I lost 10 pounds and feel more vibrant! She is amazing. I highly recommend her.

I joined this cleanse because I was in a bad place with my relationship with food. I am post-menopausal and have struggled with maintaining my optimal weight over the past several years. Lori really helped me stay on track during and after the cleanse.

I have continued to use the recipes which Lori provided to help me stay on track. Lori also offered great advice as to how to manage eating out while cleansing which I have continued to do even though I am a month post cleanse.

I have learned a lot about myself and my eating habits and have continued to evaluate and change my habits with the continued guidance of Lori. I also found connecting with the whole group that chose to cleanse was very helpful and motivating. I look forward to my next “Cleanse with Lori.”

Lori’s cleanse was amazing. I slept well, had more energy, and definitely shed a few pounds. I plan to make some of the things I learned part of my lifestyle.

Lori, thank you so much for this amazing experience. I loved all of your delicious recipes, your wonderful tips and insights, and the motivating support of this group. It just so happened that last week was an extremely busy and stressful week at work for me, and the cleanse helped me stay focused and take care of myself (instead of resorting to a lot of chocolate!).

It felt great to put myself first and eat such nourishing, tasty meals. Thank you again for such a gratifying and meaningful experience!

– Rosie H.

Lori, this was truly an eye-opening experience for me! I learned that I do not, in fact, need animal protein and M&Ms to survive! I lost a total of 8 pounds! I feel so much better and am very grateful for being at a weight I haven’t seen in 5 years! Thank you for everything!

– Michele D.

I lost 10 lb on the Winter Cleanse, and have been keeping it off and continuing to eat a lot of the foods from the cleanse and feeling good. I’m sure it helps that I’m not going out to eat or to happy hours during Covid (although I do enjoy my glass of wine every night!).

- Beth F.

I have truly appreciated this cleanse. I needed it even more than I realized!

Even though I felt like all I did was eat, eat, eat on the cleanse, I have lost about 5 pounds (!!!), which tells me I had WAY too much sugar and refined flours in my diet before. Due to the increased liquid intake, my lips are no longer permanently chapped, a change I saw and felt after day 1.

Thank you for the amazing (and amazingly simple) recipes, which got me through this whole week and which I will definitely continue to use.
