Transform Your New Year with Our Special Tradition

Transform Your New Year with Our Special Tradition

Season’s greetings!

Amidst the holiday cheer, I’m excited to share with you a personal tradition that Dean-the-dream and I have implemented since 2018. It’s different from the usual festive fun, but trust me, the rewards are immense! We’ve been kickstarting each year with a special detox – a tradition that’s not just another holiday activity, but a true game-changer for our health.

This isn’t about quick detox drinks or intense fasts. We’re talking about a detox that truly respects and rejuvenates your body, and that’s important because not all detox methods are equally beneficial.

The truth is we’re all being exposed to historic levels of new toxins. (As if our air, water, food, pharma, and products aren’t already clogging up our organs of elimination.)

Yes, our bodies have miraculous systems of detoxification – but they’re overwhelmed! This is exactly why Dean and I chose to start our detox tradition, and why it might just be the perfect time for you to also join this journey towards rejuvenation.

My colleague Robyn Openshaw, the GreenSmoothieGirl, has studied human detoxification for 29 years for 10,000 hours (more time than she spent studying for her advanced degrees combined), including the time she spent studying with holistic doctors and professionals around the world.

Her GreenSmoothieGirl Detox has influenced over 19,000 lives, over the past 11 years, including mine!

Robyn believes that all her time and work is paying off, because, in 2024, EVERYONE needs to do a dedicated, science-based detoxification program more than ever! Everyone she talks to seems to be stressed, lacking energy, and dealing with health challenges.

She wants to help as many people as possible. Your first step is to watch her Detox Secrets Video Series.

She’s distilled all her knowledge, giving people a chance to learn the EASY way. And she’s opening it to my community — for FREE! — for this month only. Join today to discover the truth about detoxification.

Because what you learn could lead to unbelievable results (for you and for the people you care about).

Like dropping weight where you need to? Yes, participants see this, but also much, much more–where weight loss is just a byproduct of truly cleaning up your temple. She sent me a bunch of testimonials, and I’m blown away!

“I feel great. I have lost not only 12.5 pounds —

but fat, too. My love handles/muffin top are gone.

I feel like this program has benefited all aspects of my life.”

— Chantel H., Idaho Falls, Idaho

One thing is for sure:

The body wasn’t meant to deal with the level of highly processed foods and harmful chemicals it’s exposed to these days.

Yes, the body was meant to protect you. But the crazy-high levels of stuff your body must deal with daily is just too much.

Toxins — and the leftovers from unhealthy choices — build up in the body.

And then, they deplete your IMMUNE system. And it all just gets worse from there.

I learned a ton from Robyn’s videos. And I want you to discover these Detox Secrets.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • The 7 types of toxicity — and how to eliminate them, for good
  • Why detoxing (the right way) could finally give you the permanent weight loss you’re seeking
  • The 8 most detoxifying foods — and the 11 most toxic foods (some of these might surprise you)
  • Why detoxing the right way is about MORE than the physical results you’ll experience

>> Join Robyn’s Detox Secrets Video Series. Because it’s only open for my community until the end of the month!

I’m cheering you on!

Carolyn Cooper

P.S. Robyn runs her GreenSmoothieGirl Detox online with a group of thousands every January. Here are just a few of the hundreds of glowing testimonials people send her about her science-based Detox program:

I have done other ‘cleanses,’ but this is by far the best. Thank you, Robyn, for putting in the time, effort, and love to research the ‘best of the best’ programs and put together a useful, DOABLE detox/cleanse for us ‘average’ people, and continually being a source of inspiration, education and, above all, support!” — Karen H., Las Vegas, Nevada

“I absolutely loved the GSG detox program! It was well thought out, comprehensive, informative, and practical. I would highly recommend participating in the full-support option because the additional videos, pre-recorded talks with experts, and the live Q&A calls were invaluable to my success.” — Holly V., Gig Harbor, Washington

Here’s to a great New Year –
Shine On,
Carolyn

PS: Today is Day 3 (of 26) for me, on the Green Smoothie Girl Detox. The main group begins on Tues Jan 10th, so you can still jump in if you’re feeling like doing something “heroic” – haha! Seriously, it really does give you such a feeling of accomplishment. This is my 8th time, so I know what to expect, but I’m feeling accomplished just after a few days -simply by stepping up to do something that takes some commitment.

(The early bird pricing is over, but you can still join, and you can start your Day 1 anytime that fits your schedule). You can go here to learn more:

Merry Christmas

Are You Finishing 2022 Rested or Finishing Strong?

Are You Finishing 2022 Rested or Finishing Strong?

We often hear about “finishing the year strong” – I don’t know about you, but this year I just want to finish the year feeling rested, clear and peaceful.

My goal is to step into the New Year RESTED.

Because rested IS strong, right?

Merry Christmas

The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is my favorite week of the year (Yep, I like it even more than my birth-week!). Maybe it’s your fave too? Because usually nothing is scheduled that week. It’s like getting a bonus week where I can rest, play, review my past year and plan for the next one.

One thing I do during that “bonus” week is – Go through the months in my past calendar.
I review each week and each activity.

I ask myself these three questions:

  • Did this activity energize me?
  • Did this activity drain me?
  • Did this activity help me align with my values & goals?

It’s super helpful to see where I spent time, and how that helped or hindered me, which is useful in planning for the upcoming year.

If you’ve never done this, I highly recommend it. Keep in mind, you need to set aside a few hours for it. And when you do this and then schedule for 2023, -to the extent you can- schedule in more of what energizes you and less of what drains you.

TIP: These three questions also make an excellent evening journal prompt. It helps you realize real quick where you’re spending time that isn’t making you feel good or moving you forward so you can adjust accordingly.

During December’s last week, in addition to reviewing, visioning, and planning I also just love the downtime. This poem by Edgar Guest makes me smile, I included it because I thought you might like it too.

(You may have heard of Edgar A Guest (1881-1959), he became known as ‘the people’s poet’ because his poems often had an inspirational and optimistic view of everyday life).


The happiest nights I ever know
Are those when I have no place to go,

And the missus says when the day is through:
“Tonight we haven’t a thing to do.”

Oh, the joy of it, and the peace untold
Or sitting ‘round in my slippers old,

With my pipe and book in my easy chair,
Knowing I needn’t go anywhere.

Needn’t hurry my evening meal
Nor force the smiles that I do not feel,

But can grab a book from a nearby shelf,
And drop all sham and be myself.

Oh, the charm of it and the comfort rare;
Nothing on earth with it can compare;

And I’m sorry for him who doesn’t know
The joy of having no place to go.

Edgar A. Guest


As you enjoy Christmas this weekend do your best to prioritize some rest for yourself. And block out time on your next week’s schedule for reviewing, dreaming, planning, and just “sitting ‘round in your slippers old”.


Much Love,
Carolyn

Indecision

Indecision Steals Time, Don’t be a Squirrel!

Today I’m on day 22 of my 26-day Detox. My body is happy, my head is clear….in fact, my head is buzzing with ideas! Gosh, it’s amazing how much space gets freed up in my noggin’ when I eat super clean, add tons of greens, and skip the salt and sugar for a few weeks!

I especially love that when my body is clean, I find it much easier to make decisions!

“Decisions.

We can think about things,
turn them over in our minds a million times,
play out possible scenarios,
but really when it comes down to it,
you have to go with your heart and move forward.
Maybe things will go well.
Maybe they’ll turn out poorly.
Every decision brings with it
some good, some bad, some lessons, and some luck.

The only thing that’s for sure is that indecision
steals many years from many people who wind up
wishing they’d just had the courage to leap.”

I didn’t write that, it’s a quote from author Doe Zantamata and I wanted to share it with you because I love the truths in it.

Every decision brings good and bad, or like I always say, “Every road has rocks in it.”

Just because you find your road rocky, doesn’t necessarily mean it was the wrong decision, just that rocks are on any road you would have chosen. Every decision has some lessons and some luck.

It’s a New Year, a new start for you. This is the year you get to leap! What is YOUR leap?
What’s that decision you’ve been sitting on, waiting for the right time?
What’s your next best step today toward that leap big or small?

We all know when you fail to make a decision…that IS your decision. To stay put or to stay stuck in the indecision. Like the quote says, “Indecision steals many years from many people.” Don’t let it steal from you.
Get the info, weigh your options, be still and listen, and go forward in faith.

In the words of Nelson Mandela, “May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears.”

Because, when it really comes down to it, you have to go with your heart and move forward.

Much love,
Carolyn

PS – If you want to clear brain fog, lose weight, and be obnoxiously excited about it (like my first paragraph-haha!) Go here to watch a short video about the DETOX I love enough to do twice a year. (I’m very picky what I’ll promote, and yes I’m an affiliate for this program.)

10 Reasons to Do a Detox in January

Happy New Year ~ I hope your holidays were delightful!

As you’re setting new goals for the year, on your goal list do you have anything about losing weight or getting healthy? If so you’re not alone, most people do include that in their goals!

If your health isn’t where you want it to be — or you want to do your best to protect it — it’s important to discover the truth about human detoxification. But, there are a lot of opinions and products out there. And not only could you lose money, but detoxing the wrong way can be harmful.

My colleague Robyn Openshaw, the GreenSmoothieGirl, has studied human detoxification for 10,000 hours (more time than she spent studying for her master’s and PhD combined), including time she spent studying with holistic doctors and clinicians around the world.

Hubby and I have been doing this detox twice a year for the past 3 years.

We love it, and that’s why I love to tell people about it!

It’s 26 days – but don’t worry, everything is all spelled out for you,
you will learn all sorts of new ways to help your body be it’s best,
the detox Facebook group is super helpful at answering any questions and supporting you along the way. And just think, by early February you’ll feel clean, clear, brain fog gone, several pounds gone, inflammation gone,
and you’ll be oh so proud of yourself!

Seriously, it’s a great way to start a New Year!

The GreenSmoothieGirl Detox has changed over 17,000 lives, over the past 10 years.

You can still watch her Detox Secrets Video Series, for only a short while longer. (You can watch instantly after you opt in!)

This is what actual participants of her program experienced:

  1. Average 12.5 pound weight loss (some as high as 27 pounds!)
  2. Higher ENERGY, all day
  3. Joint pain disappearing
  4. Better digestion (MORE coming out, which is good)
  5. Disappearing autoimmune symptoms
  6. Food cravings gone
  7. Mood stabilizing (calming anxiety and depression)
  8. Skin clearing
  9. Blood sugar stabilizing
  10. Brain fog clearing, mind is sharp again

She understands the SCIENCE of how proper detoxification works, and she developed a comprehensive, guided, whole-body Detox program that she only leads with a big group ONCE per year, in January.

And though the deadline for the Early Bird pricing has ended … she’s decided to extend the 40% off for one week, because she believes doing a dedicated detox is more important EVER this year, and she wants as many people as possible to do it!

The main group starts Tues. Jan. 11th, but really,
you can start whenever it works best with your schedule.
I was ready so I started today ~ woo hoo!

The Detox program systematically cleanses all the major body systems, in an order approved by detox experts, and with products that support and enhance the body’s natural immune function all the way.

What makes Robyn’s 26-Day Detox unique … and better than other detox programs?

  • It’s comprehensive, a WHOLE-body detox — rather than just focusing on detoxing one organ, or simply eating less or healthier food for a few days.
  • It’s based on SCIENCE — every step was created based on what is known about how the body detoxifies and how it can be aided and accelerated in that process.
  • You get to eat REAL food, and you won’t feel hungry — the foods required are real foods you can purchase at your grocery, and you eat plenty of food, and shouldn’t feel very hungry.
  • It’s GUIDED and supported — so you’ll know exactly what to do, and you’ll have support from health coaches and others doing the detox every step of the way.

You’ll hear more about the GreenSmoothieGirl Detox during Robyn’s Detox Video Series.

I hope you’ll join. I think you’ll learn information that will open your eyes to the possibility (and the truth) of detoxification done the right way.

Much love,

Carolyn Cooper

P.S. Check out what Kris K. of Payson, Utah, said after competing Robyn’s guided, comprehensive, science-backed GreenSmoothieGirl Detox:

“This program keeps you full, healthy, and happy! I have tried many other detox cleanses before and this one is by far the best. Although it took a lot of time to prepare the food, I made large quantities of Green Smoothies and learned to love them.

Overall, I haven’t felt this good in years! My energy increased every day I was on the program and I actually started running again. I’m happy to report that by keeping my energy high using Robyn’s recommendations, I easily kicked my caffeine & chocolate addiction. My husband lost 12 lbs. on the program and I lost 9. (We are both in our mid-50s.) Both of us LOVE the healthy education we have had over the past month and the support from our family and friends on this journey. We will continue this journey together and live to be 100 years old.”

Watch Robyn’s Detox Secrets Video Series— and then, consider joining her detoxification program (you can choose your start date and what works for you).
