Today is Day 16 for me, and nothing much has changed since probably Day 10 or so. I have to admit although we live a very healthy lifestyle by Moving well, eating well and thinking well, doing the 21-Day Purification Program is one of the best decisions I have ever made. When I was in undergrad at the University of North Florida, my brother and I owned and operated a health food store in Ponte Vedra Beach and I tried several cleansing and detox products that we sold and I never completed any of them because it was such a bad experience with having an uneasy stomach most of the time during the different programs. This time is different, I feel great, lost weight and have had restful sleep since embarking on the lifestyle modification. I have been telling everyone I cross paths of about this amazing transformation from doing something so simple as changing the way you eat to achieve an infinite amount of life altering experiences. Whether you are looking to shed some pounds, have less aches and pains, decrease the amount of medication you are taking or just looking for something new, you can find it with this program. I am so glad that I decided to do this and it has been worth every sacrifice I have had to make along the way, although as I come near the end I don't consider them sacrifices! If I can do it with everything I have going on, anyone can! Come to the talk on March 13 @ 5:15pm to see what I am talking about! RSVP on our site! And remember, Move Well, Eat Well, and Think Well!!

How do I determine my toxic load?

What are the benefits of purification?
A purification program can have a significant, positive effect on the biochemistry of the body while allowing natural toxins and byproducts of daily metabolism to be eliminated. By participating in a purification program, you may notice the following:

• Improved weight management results
• Increased energy/vitality
• Better digestion
• Less bloating
• Clearer skin
• Shinier hair
• Better sleep
• Clearer thinking
• Disappearance or lessening of past conditions†

How is purification different than any other diet?
The Standard Process Purification Program is not a diet. It is a program that helps you live a healthier life by purifying, nourishing, and maintaining a healthy body and weight.

Our purification program emphasizes supplements and whole foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, while limiting high-calorie, refined foods and saturated fats. Nourishing yourself with nutrient-rich foods will provide the complex combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are needed to protect the body and promote optimal health.†
