Last week, Karen Kipp and I shared how we help people use clean eating and juicing as tools for better health. This week, three women in our community share how The Decadent Detox® changed their lives. Gretchen, Ellen, and Melynn tell us how the 14-Day Cleanse surprised them and the transformations they experienced. 

From loving vegetables they never ate before, to being shocked that family members got on board, to the flow-on effect in other areas of their lives, these ladies take us on three different and inspiring journeys.  

None of these women tells a typical “detox” story. Gretchen wanted to get healthy but had no idea where or how to start. The program’s structure, meal plans, and personal support got her on a path to losing 30 pounds, reducing inflammation, and feeling confident with healthy eating.   

The 14-Day Cleanse helped Melynn redefine what “healthy” looks like, and discover food intolerances that were the key to her chronic acid reflux. With just two weeks of strategic eating, she got rid of the condition, and got off medication she had been dependent on for 20 years.   

Ellen also got the nutrition education she wanted, and recipes she and her family enjoy to stay on track with better food choices. Learning to listen to her body helped her recognize the signs of illness and get early diagnosis of a rare, treatable condition. 

We celebrate the incredible impacts of practicing self-care through eating delicious fresh food, the value of joining a supportive community, and the importance of making healthy living fun. 

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: 

• Coaching and a supportive community make it easier to get healthy.

• Gently transitioning into a juice fast and out of it gives the best results.  
• Two weeks of strategic clean eating empowers you in other parts of your life.

With a degree in International Business and French, Ellen realized her dream of working abroad before marrying and starting her family. After working in customer service and account management, Ellen became a stay-at-home to raise her kids. When her son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, Ellen became passionate about the power of better food and nutrition. This journey led her to join The Decadent Detox® to continue her education and improve her own health. Ellen enjoys gardening, hiking, spending time with her family at their cabin, volunteering for her sorority, and reading. You’ll find her wrapped up in a book on food science or a classic Agatha Christie novel.

After working in education for many years, Gretchen shifted gears and has found great joy in facilitating weddings and other celebrations. She and her husband love spending time with their children, scattered across the country. Spending time together is precious, so her favorite vacation destination is wherever they can all be together. Gretchen is new to healthy eating, and is grateful to have found The Decadent Detox® and Skinny60® programs. She now has a clear path to achieving her health goals.
