New Year, Clean Start

Posted by: The Balancing Center

And welcome to 2014. It’s been a brutal start to the year. We hope you weathered the freeze with relative aplomb. We can all look forward to a veritable heat wave this weekend! 38 degrees? It’s practically beach weather!

When it’s this cold outside, healthy eating can be at least a little challenging. Cool, crisp salad doesn’t warm you up like pot roast or chili or burgers. The coldest and darkest months of the year require comfort foods and hibernation! 

But if you’re feeling the toll of that comfort, feeling a little slow and sluggish after the indulgences of the holiday, this might actually be a great time to reintroduce healthy eating into your days and nights. It might not seem like it at first, but healthy eating can be an even greater comfort to your body and mind in both the short and long run.



You can make a great start by clearing out the old before ushering in the new. Kickstart your year with a great cleanse! Cleanses can jumpstart your body and set a great foundation for a year of healthy eating and habits.

The two cleanses for 2014 we’re recommending are the McCombs Plan and Orenda’s Clean, Burn, and Shape. Both cleanses have something a little different to offer, depending on your health goals.

If you’re looking to recalibrate the environment in your gut--gut health being absolutely essential to wholeness and wellness--the McCombs Plan is specially formulated to help you achieve a healthy balance of yeast in your digestive tract. It’s a rigorous and thorough process, with a food regimen and you can find out more at the McCombs website and also in this blog post by Dr. Ken.

Clean, Burn, and Shape is the new cleanse and weight-loss program from Orenda, our partner-in-health. It is a 10 day vegan cleanse followed by a 30 day diet and exercise cycle. This program features tasty shakes and works in tandem with Orenda’s established line of supplements. You can read more about CBS (as we call it) here.

Let us know if you’ll be embracing a cleanse this year and which one! We’d love to feature and celebrate your results. 

Here’s to a clean start and a wonderful winter!
