Why should I join Intro to The Chinese Medicine Cleanse?
The Chinese Medicine Cleanse is more than just a “diet,” and it’s not some cleanse where you do nothing but drink juice all day (in fact, we think you should limit juice!). There are no weird pills to swallow (feel free to go nuts with taking a multi-vitamin, omega-3s, or probiotics). In this 3 day intro to the full program, we address not only food, but also touch on the mind and spirit as well, so that you give yourself a jumpstart to living life fully in balance. Other programs focus only on one or two facets of the human experience. Chinese Medicine believes that in order for true healing to occur, we must address all three levels: body, mind, and spirit. The Chinese Medicine Cleanse uses ancient wisdom, supported by modern scientific studies, to help you become the best version of yourself that you can be.

"The cleanse was a great experience - because of the way Jen has decided to run it. Having a support network with other people helps, and with Jen, she is constantly there to help and motivate you along the way. I'm the type of person that is skeptical about just doing or eating what other people tell me, but Jen provides the nutritional and scientific evidence to back up everything. You always feel "in-the-loop" and you know what to expect from your body during the cleanse."

"I love this diet/cleanse!!!! I have more energy, and clearer thinking. I realized my joints were no longer hurting. In addition to all this, I lost weight and because most of this was in my stomach I now wear smaller sized clothing. I was never hungry and I had a lot of fun concocting new recipes that were quite tasty. Also the tingling in my fingers disappeared. I'm going to stay on a modified version of this diet. Thank you so much."

Do I have to throw out everything in my pantry?
No!! The Three-Day Detox and The Chinese Medicine Cleanse are all about eating healthier, but that doesn’t mean you have to throw out what you’ve got. We believe in everything in moderation. During the Detox, there will be foods and substances you will limit, but if you find your body reacts fine to them again after the program is done, you have the choice as to whether or not to add them back in to your diet, or whether you'd like to continue with the full Cleanse program (at an additional cost). If you discover during the Detox that you react to something, for example, bloating after eating dairy, and you have some items you prefer not to eat anymore, then check and see if a local food bank or shelter may want the donation, or perhaps a friend, or make a meal with it or give it to a local homeless person. I know some people say out of sight out of mind, and if you feel you need that to not be tempted to eat something that doesn’t make you feel good, then instead of tossing it, try to at least feed someone in need with it!

A note from Jen:
I love learning, and I love teaching and helping even more.
I can’t even deny it; I’m a life-long learner and I love it. I started out my career with a Master’s in Experimental Psychology and did behavioral neuroscience research for about 15 years. While a scientist, I studied many things on the side, becoming certified in Feng Shui in 2003, a registered yoga teacher in 2006, beginning my studies in acupuncture in 2007 and Reiki in 2008, and earning my second Master’s in Acupuncture in 2010. Along the way and since then, I have received additional certifications in there in various types of yoga, and finished my Reiki studies to become a Reiki Master in 2015. I’ve been teaching in various forms on University faculty since 2012, and in April 2018, I received a doctorate in Acupuncture.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because I have taken all the things I have learned over the last couple decades, and refined it into an amazing program in The Chinese Medicine Cleanse, and a short intro to it in The Three-Day Detox. I teach you how to change your relationship to food, how to integrate in lifestyle changes, and to finally come to a place of balance.
The terrible cleanse experience that inspired me to develop my own cleanse.
I have been a registered yoga teacher since 2006, and I always look for new and interesting yoga courses to take for continuing education. In the beginning of 2011, I signed up for a program to be trained in a particular style of yoga. As part of that training, I had to do the teacher’s 21 day cleanse. It was largely raw and vegan. I’d been a vegetarian for 10 years and figured the cleanse would be no big deal. WRONG. Over the course of just several days, I became a congested, zit-ridden, low-energy, shell version of who I used to be. My acupuncturist was furious with me and begged me to stop. She gave me a treatment that helped me feel a little better, but I kept doing the cleanse (I seriously hate quitting things). I got even worse. I stopped wanting to eat.I felt kind of dead inside. When I heard that the third week of the cleanse was switching to all juices, I literally broke down into tears. I couldn’t go on.
Going through that cleanse was the inspiration and kick in the butt I needed to step it up and actually eat well, in a way that would help me thrive. Forget just making it through the day. I wanted to treat my body like the temple it was (and is). I’m not here to live life in a puny way. No sir and mam, I am here to live life BOLDLY. After declaring this to God/The Universe/Spirit inspired me to create The Chinese Medicine Cleanse, and the content just flowed through me and onto the computer. That was in 2011. Since then, I’ve led tons of people through the cleanse and watched as they’ve truly transformed their health.
I feel blessed that I get to partner with people on their wellness journey on The Chinese Medicine Cleanse, The Three-Day Detox, and my other online programs, as well as in my treatment room, podcasts, classrooms, and more. I’m proud to combine all of my experience and learning- Chinese Medicine, yoga, feng shui, energy work, meditation, behavioral neuroscience and more- into one amazing program. I look forward to working with you and being witness to your transformation.
Much Love,
Jen
