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!

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

Regain Calm

7 Simple Ways to Regain Calm

A lot has happened in our world since January 2020. We’ve all felt much more anxiety (ours, other’s, and the world’s) in this past 21 months. Even sweet Mother Nature has been responding in an eruptive and “fiery” way lately.

With a calm mind we see things from a less frazzled state which helps us to think more clearly, be more loving, and make better decisions. Here are some of my favorite tried and true “calmer-downers”, I hope they work for you too:

4-7-8 Breathing

The 4-7-8 breathing technique, also known as “relaxing breath,” is inhaling in for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds.

(I wrote more about this awhile back in this post)

Dr. Andrew Weil, who teaches the 4-7-8 breathing technique, believes it can help with reducing anxiety and controlling or reducing anger responses. And this one has some added bonuses: he says it can also help a person get to sleep, and helps to manage cravings.

Count to Ten

I know, I know, it might be what your mama told you when you were small, and it may sound too good to be true, but this strategy really works. Just count slowly from one to ten. Try to breathe deeply as you do, as this will enhance the effects. This little trick can help you to quickly gain control of your emotions and feel calmer in a pinch.

Close Your Eyes

Yep. Shutting your eyes for a moment blocks out a great deal of the stimuli that are currently vying for your attention. This brief period of visual stillness will allow you to gather your thoughts and to calm yourself.

Take a Hike

No really…take a little hike, or a simple walk will do. You don’t have to do a full-blown exercise to feel benefits. Taking a leisurely stroll is a great way to settle your nervous system, get grounded and balanced when you need to chill out. Walking is a relaxing activity that gets you moving, literally. It can remove you from a stressful environment and give you fresh perspective.

Try Progressive Muscle Relaxation

If you don’t have time for a walk, an effective calming exercise that you don’t even need to move out of your chair for is progressive muscle relaxation. This is simply tensing and releasing every muscle group in your body (think of it as wringing out the stress!). You can start with your head and work your way downward. Tense up the muscles in your face, hold for a few seconds and then release, then move down to your neck and so on. This exercise can be done in just a few minutes, and you’ll feel tons better afterwards!

Listen to Some Music

We’ve all experienced how the right song at the right time can change your mood. An upbeat song that you know and love will raise your vibration, which is especially good to remember when you need a boost. Music can have a profound effect on your feelings and is a great option to rely on when you want to calm down or feel better. I suggest always having a playlist you love as your go-to when you need to lighten your state of mind.

Get in the H20

Relaxing in a bath of warm water can be quite soothing to the soul as well as calming to the body. To take extra good care of yourself, add bubbles and aromatherapy…because sometimes it just feels good to be fancy. If ‘fancy’ isn’t your thing, you might want to add in about a cup of Epsom salt. The sulfates in it help draw the toxins out of your body, which can also help improve health and promote a general feeling of wellness.

These are just a handful of ways to stay calm when you’re stressed. Choose the ones that resonate with you, and give them a try the next time you feel overwhelmed or when life is chaotic.

“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.”
Hermann Hesse
