What is a Winter Reset? …and What it is Not!

Just like the word “exercise” can mean anything from gentle yoga to marathon training (and everything in between), the word “cleanse” is a broad term that encompasses a lot of varied practices as well. Over the years, we have struggled with what to call our winter “cleanse” programs because, for some people, this word often conjures up ideas of deprivation, hunger, and hardship.

That’s why we’ve decided to call our new program the Mindful RESET—because our purpose is just that: to RESET by focusing on nourishing our minds and bodies!

To us, a RESET is about resting, rebuilding and revitalizing. It is a time to return to a more natural way of eating and existing, retraining our bodies to once again appreciate the taste and benefit of whole, unprocessed foods in their natural state. 

Although we simplify our diets, our RESET is both nourishing and building; we do not believe in depriving our body of food or pleasure.

We personally believe that while you are doing a RESET with us, you are calling forward your highest self.  It is about putting forth the intention and setting aside the time to care for yourself, as if that was your number one priority for a brief time.

Can you even imagine what that feels like?

We strongly believe that eating wholesome, clean foods for even a few weeks can balance your body in a way that is beneficial for the weeks and months to come. We feel that the success of our program is actually less about the few weeks that you participate with us and more about what you learn during those weeks that you are able to carry forward with you. The new healthy eating and lifestyle habits that you create go beyond just 14-days.

The changes that you make—and even those small changes that you sustain—will create long-lasting and powerful shifts in your body. We have seen this time and time again.

We have chosen to offer our program in the New Year because people are thinking about their intention for the year to come and often their health is on top of the list.

Winter is naturally a time to go inward and to rest more. It is the season to rebuild, restore, and support our bodies and minds with seasonally-appropriate foods. Our digestive system gets a rest when we eat foods that are warm, cooked and easy to digest. By giving ourselves this temporary break, we allow our organs the opportunity to focus on deeper cleansing processes and our minds the time to settle and become more clear.

We hope this gives you a greater understanding of what a RESET means to us personally.

It is truly an act of self-love and care—and it might actually be the best thing that you do for yourself in the New Year.
