Frequently Asked Questions.
Our bodies spend 85% of our energy digesting food and we want that 85% to go towards regenerating and healing the body as well as give our colon a break so we can give it a good cleaning. You’re on a fruit and liquid diet, and we provide soup recipes for you to purée!
Q: Where do I get my protein during the Ten-Day Cleanse? This is a very common concern. During the Ten-Day Cleanse, we intentionally take a short break from heavy protein so the body can focus on detoxing, repairing, and healing.
Protein requires a lot of energy to digest. When we remove it temporarily, the body can redirect that energy toward clearing parasites, heavy metals, toxins, and buildup from the organs and cells.
Instead of eating heavy protein, we support the body with Super Aminos. Protein is made of amino acids, and amino acids are what the body actually uses to support muscles, tissue, and strength. Our Super Aminos are already broken down, meaning they:
-
Go straight into the cells
-
Support muscles without slowing detox
-
Do not burden digestion or feed parasites
Ten days is not long enough to cause muscle loss when the body is properly supported. This is a short, intentional reset that allows the digestive system to rest while the body cleans and regenerates.
After the cleanse, your body is more efficient, better at absorbing nutrients, and ready to rebuild stronger than before.
Q: Will I feel weak or low on energy during the cleanse? Some people feel lighter and more energized, while others may experience short periods of fatigue as the body detoxes. This is normal. As toxins and parasites leave the body, energy can temporarily shift. Staying hydrated, resting when needed, and using your Super Aminos helps support strength and energy during the process.
Q: Is this cleanse safe? Yes. The Ten-Day Cleanse is designed to work with the body, not against it. We support the organs of detox—especially the liver, kidneys, and colon—while providing minerals, hydration, and cellular nourishment. Always listen to your body and move at your own pace.
Q: Why is fruit allowed during the cleanse? Fruit is hydrating, easy to digest, and rich in organic minerals and natural sugars that fuel the body and brain. Unlike processed foods, fruit does not burden digestion and helps flush toxins while providing gentle energy.
Q: Will I be hungry the entire time? Most people find that hunger decreases after the first few days. As the body shifts from constant digestion to detox mode, cravings often fade. Fruit, liquids, and proper hydration help keep the body nourished and satisfied.
Q: Can I work, exercise, or go about daily life while cleansing? Yes, but we encourage you to slow down. Gentle movement like walking, stretching, yoga, and breathwork are ideal. This is not the time for intense workouts—your body is doing deep internal work.
Q: What symptoms might I experience during detox? Some people experience headaches, fatigue, coated tongue, body aches, or emotional releases. These are common detox responses as the body clears stored toxins and parasites. Symptoms usually pass as the body adjusts.
Q: Why do emotions come up during the cleanse? The body stores emotions in the tissues and organs. As the body detoxes physically, it can also release emotional energy. This is a normal and healing part of the process. Journaling, meditation, and rest can be very supportive.
Q: Will I lose weight on the cleanse? Some people do, some don’t. Weight loss is not the goal—healing is. Changes in weight are often a result of reduced inflammation, water retention, and waste, not muscle loss.
Q: What happens after the Ten-Day Cleanse? After the cleanse, the body is more receptive to nutrients, herbs, and whole foods. Digestion often improves, energy increases, and many people feel clearer physically, emotionally, and mentally.
