Between regular croissant-filled rendezvous’ in France, cappuccino overconsumption in Italy to far too many bagel runs in my local Brooklyn neighborhood, it’s needless to say that I’m no stranger to needing a detox – but, I’m not one for choosing average programs.
Wellness and health is a major priority in my life and especially for a jetsetter, regular resets are a part of my lifestyle. The natural stresses which travel and 24/7 business duties bring naturally catch up to my body and create unhealthy daily habits (not drinking enough water, for start). I’ve long craved a program that not only created healthy eating habits regardless of where I am in the world, but also cultivated healthy daily rituals which set a context to a healthy lifestyle.
That’s where Lisa Consiglio Ryan of Whole Health Designs comes in – her fabulously effective spring renewal program is now an official and regular part of my health routine (especially after a delicious Europe trip).
I returned from Europe with more than a few pounds of France (so many sweet treats) and was definitely feeling the “weight” of not working out for three weeks. Combine that with the stress of international travel, a particularly emotional month and a non-stop grind, I needed a full detox to reset my energy levels.
I took the dive into Lisa’s program and I’m a forever fan. Here are the six reasons why I’m an ambassador and lover of Lisa’s 10-day spring renewal program:
Fuss-Free Recipes Which Feed the Body and Mind
I’m a lady of simplicity, especially when it comes to eating clean. Lisa’s recipes are wildly scrumptious, easy to prepare with ingredients simple enough to find anywhere in the world.
Within a few days I felt lighter and energized. My endurance in my go-to fitness classes reached new peaks and above all, my mind felt more refreshed daily to conquer every item on my to-do list with fire.
Designed for Women On the Go
When you balance so much, it’s a luxury to have your hand held through a detox.
Lisa’s program is fully loaded with daily YouTube videos to motivate, a vivacious Facebook group and motivational emails that keep you on track and ready to conquer “a better you” every single day – from any device.
This detox fits flawlessly into any modern jetsetter’s life because it’s specifically designed for the woman on the go.
The Power of Intention
I believe writing down your intentions and experiences makes them more powerful – and when it comes to detoxing, that’s no exception. One of my favorite aspects of Lisa’s program is she asks her clients to celebrate their intentions along with a few other pre-detox odes that wire you for success.
Full-Scope Wellness Rituals
Lisa knows that a detox is enhanced when we pay extra attention to all wellness details – an aspect of her program which sealed the deal as my go-to pre and post travel detox.
From lemon water in the morning to the magical benefits of dry brushing (addicted) to the health benefits of apple cider vinegar a or regular massages, Lisa introduces her clients to a few must-do tricks that will not only make you feel good inside, but also like the royalty on the outside.
Sanity is also a part of wellness and what is sanity without indulgence? For those with a sweet tooth, I suggest making Lisa’s raw brownies a regular part of post-detox life.
Beauty Benefits
Clearer skin and my hair has a little extra Kate Middleton shine to it – no other words needed. Thank you, Lisa.
Room for Adjustments
Lisa knows her detox can’t always be followed to a “T”… and I respect that.
In my case, eliminating sugar, alcohol and dairy wasn’t an issue…but caffeine? Another story. I approached this detox with the goal of limiting my caffeine intake instead of eliminating it and still ended it feeling completely renewed.
This program is truly a home run and touches all bases of wellness…making it powerful even for a caffeine-addicted writer.
