I have been receiving many questions about the Total Wellness Cleanse Program lately, and since I have been through the program quite a few times (and I will do it again and again), I wanted to give you my honest opinion and what you can expect from it.

Some of the questions I got from my followers were: “I am not too sure if I can commit to a cleanse”, or” But Marta, you always say you are not a proponent of drastic cleanses and weird detoxes- these are your own words”. Well, in this blog post, we are going to dive deep into the philosophy behind the Total Wellness Cleanse .We will also learn a lot about its co-creator, Yuri Elkaim. I hope that the information I present in this post, will help you make a decision so that you know whether this program is actually for, as well as when it’s the best time to commit to it and how to go about it. When done right, this cleanse program can really revolutionize your health and life.

Ok, first things first. Who created the Total Wellness Cleanse? Who is Yuri Elkaim?

Yuri Elkaim, (BPHE, CK, RHN), is a registered holistic nutritionist, fitness expert + health coach. He’s also a former professional soccer player and served as the head strength and conditioning and nutrition coach for men’s soccer at the University of Toronto for seven seasons. For more than 13 years, he’s empowered more than 86,000 people to greater health with his no-nonsense approach to health, fitness and nutrition. He’s made it his mission to empower at least 10 million people to greater health and wellness by 2018.

Ok Marta, but how can the Total Wellness Cleanse by Yuri Elkaim actually help me?

As a teen, Yuri got affected by severe hair loss and autoimmune system conditions. The cortisone injections prescribed by doctors would not help him get to the root of the problem. He decided to look for the answers in the world of natural nutrition. This is how he discovered that all his problems were actually “food poisoning” and toxicity that has been accumulating in his body. He realized that his poor nutritional habits, like consuming lots of sugars, processed carbohydrates and all kinds of unhealthy foods were resulting in chronic fatigue, alopecia (hair loss), asthma and eczema.

He decided to turn his life around and reclaimed his health by changing his nutrition and this is what he is now passionate about- creating vibrant health through real foods.

The Power of Having Something Simple to Follow

The Total Wellness Cleanse is not just an eBook. And it’s not some quick “info product”. It’s a cleverly designed, step-by-step program where all the thinking and organizing is already done for you.  The Total Wellness Cleanse is a top-notch, premium online program with videos, recipes, instructions and most importantly a community. There is always someone to help you and to guide you step-by-step. By purchasing this program, you will get access to a private Facebook group (that I am also a part of) where you will be able to share your journey with other people and connect with like-minded people interested in natural health and wellness. You will realize that it’s much easier to commit to something,  if you are surrounded and supported by a community of like-minded, health-conscious people who value their wellbeing and understand the vallue of investing in their energy.

OK, so what is this cleanse about? Is it hard to do?

I won’t lie to you. You have to be committed, like to everything else in life. Honestly, this is one of the very few cleanses I recommend, because personally I believe that most cleanses and detoxes are not necessary. I also think that the Total Wellness Cleanse could be easily re-branded to the Total Wellness Feast. The course promotes real foods and basically it is like a clean food challenge to revitalize your body from the inside out (both raw and cooked food recipes are included, backed up with a ton of alkaline juices and smoothies)

Total Wellness Cleanse is a 30 day program, consisting of a 14 day cleansing phase, and another 14 days that go for a “maintenance” phase.

The first time I went through it, I committed to it fully and did the full 4 weeks (or something around it). At that time, my main goal was to lose extra weight (you know this stubborn fat that doesn’t seem to go away) and also change my relationship with food and get used to eating more “real foods”. I also wanted to learn more about my body and holistic nutrition as such. Going through a cleanse was an amazing experience, not only for my body, but also for my mind and soul. I felt like I developed more control and an overall better connection with myself and my emotions.

However this time, at the beginning of 2016, I only decided to commit to 10 days of cleansing, the main reason being that I had some business travelling scheduled. Also, at this stage of my life, I eat very healthy (plant-based, clean-alkaline inspired dietary lifestyle, with lots of greens- following the 80/20 alkaline rule).

My main goal was to improve my energy levels and give my body and mind a break. Even on a healthy lifestyle there is always something to let go of, nobody is perfect. This is why I am such a great believer in going on an alkaline cleanse (like the Total Wellness Cleanse) at least once a year (twice a year is optimal- as each time you go through it, your health improves, personally I just feel like a better person!). So, as soon as I got back home after Christmas and New Year’s, I decided to commit to 10 days of the Total Wellness Cleanse and at the same time re-committed to daily meditation and self-Reiki healing. I wanted to give myself some time to re-focus and realign myself moving forward (lots of new projects I have been working on; I understand that in order to achieve my career goals, I need to make sure my focus and energy levels are taken care of).

My Results with the Total Wellness Cleanse

Even though, I only did it for 10 days, I am very pleased with the results and I am planning to re-commit to it again before April 2016.

• I feel more energy and I can be up early without needing caffeine (huge achievement for me!)
• I feel more mentally focused and can get back to my writing (I have some big plans for 2016)
• I got inspired to create many new raw-alkaline-vegan friendly recipes that I will be sharing soon
• I restored my emotional and spiritual wellness, I can easily focus on my meditations and healings and it just feels really good for me.
• I am more productive, I can get more done in less time
• I feel more flexible and stronger and my workouts confirm that feeling (results!)
• My skin is brighter and my nails are stronger
• My mood has improved dramatically.  I feel much much happier. You see, eating processed acid-forming foods (aka the SAD diet) makes you feel angry, frustrated, sad and even depressed (think of all the chemicals you are putting in your system). However, eating healthy alkaline-forming foods that the cleanse promotes, help your body support its natural healing system. So you will feel BETTER afterwards and more positive naturally.
• I got rid of certain unhealthy food cravings and managed to stay away from caffeine (I was getting too hooked on green tea). My body and mind feel much calmer now and I feel like I have good control over my emotions.
• I feel more inspired to continue my wellness journey through yoga, Pilates and other practices that I have now committed to on a regular basis (I even commit to them in my office, lol).
• I lost 4-5 pounds of waste, toxins and fat.  Even though it wasn’t my main goal as I am happy with my weight, it was a good thing for me to commit to this program, straight after my Christmas Holidays (“let’s start the New Year feeling energized!”). I feel lighter, much much leaner, my digestion has improved.

Of course, these are my results. I did not need to lose much weight, but many people start this program as their main goal is natural weight loss. They have tried everything under the sun and are looking for a healthy and sustainable way to get on the right track. From what I have seen- this is totally possible. The Facebook Community is full of amazing transformations.

Especially if you commit to the full cleanse. Again, the course has lots of information and there is space for personalization, so I am pretty sure you will find your answers there. It’s a program you can always go back to for more motivation and inspiration. Even if you are not cleansing, and you just want to eat healthy- the information contained in the course will help you create a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Will I Feel Hungry?

This was my fear. Luckily, there is nothing to worry about. It’s not about going hungry. It’s more about changing your relationship with food. Yuri is an amazing coach (and cook) and shares with you dozens of amazing, cleansing alkaline-friendly, raw as well as cooked food meals that you can eat on each day. You just need to work on your mindset- you need to switch to eating real foods, foods that are designed to help you glow and thrive and give you the energy you deserve.

Before going on a cleanse, you will need to prepare yourself. Preparation is the key. Unfortunately the program, doesn’t come with a home chef that cooks all the meals for you. This is my only complaint, lol!

My personal experience: committing to a cleanse like this, has made me feel much stronger- mentally and emotionally. During the cleanse, I reconnected with some of my old self-care practices (like for example aromatherapy massage, foot massage and I did a short course in reflexology and even hypnosis!). Whenever I had cravings for something that was off the list, I would accept my thoughts and say to myself: OK, you want it only because you are bored/stressed or need a treat. You can reward yourself with this healthy meal, or a nice shower, or a natural face mask.

During the cleanse I also drastically reduced my time online and stopped wasting my time checking my mobile (what a bad habit that was). Many people report similar, body-mind experiences. Eating right helps you think clearly and decide what’s really good for you.

Do I have to be super strong-willed?

You need to be committed to changing something in your life.

The course comes with many motivational tools like for example inspirational and success journals + help from its creators and the above-mentioned Facebook group.

Also, the main focus of the program is to focus on…eating more. yes! eating more of good stuff. As long as you focus on the abundance of nutrients by following the Total Wellness Cleanse, you will find it easier and easier to finish the program successfully.

Is the Total Wellness Cleanse really for me?

I believe that the program is available to anyone, regardless of age and nutritional habits. If you dreams of living a life free of low energy levels, unwanted weight and heaviness and are looking for long-term solutions- it is surely for you. Because of its holistic approach, anyone can undergo the program with the guidance of its creator. It’s all natural and there are no artificial supplements required.

I believe this program is best for those who strive for holistic wellness and better health but are afraid of the possible side effects of other programs in the market today.

My tip: consulting with your doctor before undergoing any kind of cleansing program is the wise thing to do, especially if you have any serious health conditions.
