FAQ

During your 10-Day Detox, you'll nourish your body with all the fresh fruit you'd like to enjoy, along with delicious puréed soups from our Detox Guide. This simple way of eating is intentionally designed to provide your body with hydration, natural nutrients, and easy-to-digest nourishment throughout your journey.

At The Sanctuary, we believe digestion requires a tremendous amount of your body's daily energy. By simplifying what you eat for ten days, you're giving your digestive system an opportunity to rest, allowing your body to redirect more of its energy toward its natural processes of cleansing, renewal, and restoration.

Your Detox Guide includes a variety of nourishing soup recipes, hydration recommendations, and daily guidance to help you feel supported from beginning to end. We encourage you to eat when you're hungry, enjoy plenty of fruit, stay well hydrated, and trust your body's natural cues.

During the ten days,  you’re  avoiding foods that are more difficult to digest, including:

• Meat and animal products
• Dairy
• Gluten
• Processed foods
• Refined sugars
• Fried foods
• Alcohol
• Caffeine

The beauty of this program is its simplicity. Rather than counting calories or restricting portions, you'll be focusing on nourishing your body with foods that are naturally hydrating, vibrant, and easy to digest.

If you have diabetes, blood sugar concerns, food allergies, or other medical or nutritional considerations, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before beginning the program to ensure it meets your individual needs.

We often remind our community that this isn't about deprivation—it's about creating space. Space for your digestive system to rest. Space for your body to restore. And space for you to reconnect with the incredible wisdom that has been within you all along.

One of the most common questions we receive is, "Where do I get my protein?"

During the 10-Day Detox, we intentionally take a short break from consuming concentrated protein sources. Our philosophy is that simplifying digestion for a brief period allows the body to spend less energy processing heavier foods and more energy supporting its natural processes of cleansing, renewal, and restoration.

Rather than focusing on large amounts of dietary protein during these ten days, we provide Golden Hour Amino Acids—the building blocks your body uses to create protein. These essential amino acids help support your body's natural protein synthesis while complementing the simple, fruit-based meal plan.

Your kit also includes the Purium Power Shake, which provides plant-based nourishment, vitamins, minerals, and additional nutritional support throughout your detox journey.

This approach is intentional and designed specifically for the 10-Day Detox. After completing the program, you'll gradually transition back to a well-balanced way of eating as outlined in your Detox Guide.

If you have increased protein needs due to a medical condition, pregnancy, athletic training, or another health concern, we recommend discussing the program with your healthcare provider before beginning to ensure it aligns with your individual nutritional needs.

At The Sanctuary, we view fruit as one of nature's most beautiful gifts. We call it Light Force Food because it is naturally vibrant, hydrating, mineral-rich, and full of the life-giving energy that nourishes the body.

Fruit is intentionally at the heart of our 10-Day Detox because it provides your body with natural hydration, carbohydrates for energy, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and powerful plant nutrients—all while being gentle and easy to digest. This allows your digestive system to do less work processing heavy foods, creating an opportunity for your body to focus more of its energy on its natural processes of cleansing, renewal, and restoration.

We believe food should nourish more than just the physical body. The foods we choose carry information and energy, and fresh, ripe fruit is one of the simplest ways to support vitality while reconnecting with the abundance that nature provides.

Throughout the ten days, we encourage you to eat a colorful variety of fresh, seasonal fruit and to honor your body's natural hunger cues. There is no calorie counting or portion restriction—just an invitation to nourish yourself with foods that are naturally hydrating, energizing, and alive.

If you have diabetes, kidney disease, food allergies, or another medical condition that requires a specialized diet, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before beginning the program to determine whether the meal plan is appropriate for your individual needs.

One of the biggest surprises people experience during the 10-Day Detox is realizing that they're often not truly hungry—they're experiencing cravings.

Throughout the cleanse, you're nourishing your body with abundant fresh fruit, puréed soups, targeted nutritional support, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, hydration, and herbal wellness products. Most participants find that they feel well nourished and that their relationship with hunger begins to change.

Cravings, however, are a different experience.

For some, cravings are simply part of stepping away from processed foods, sugar, caffeine, or familiar eating habits. For others, they may uncover emotional patterns, routines, or habits that have become connected to food over time. Many members of our community also share that they notice cravings change as they move through the detox experience.

Rather than resisting those moments, we invite you to become curious.

Ask yourself:

• What am I craving?
• When do the cravings show up?
• Is this physical hunger, or is something else asking for my attention?

These moments can become powerful opportunities to learn more about your body and your relationship with food.

That said, everyone is different. If you're genuinely hungry, honor your body by enjoying more fruit or another approved food from the Detox Guide. The program is not about deprivation or restriction—it's about nourishment, awareness, and learning to trust your body's wisdom.

If you experience persistent weakness, dizziness, severe nausea, difficulty concentrating, or other concerning symptoms, stop the program and consult a qualified healthcare professional.

One of the greatest gifts of these ten days is discovering the difference between feeding your body and feeding a craving. That awareness often becomes a lesson that lasts long after the detox is complete.

Every detox journey is unique, and no two experiences are exactly alike.

Your body is doing important work during these ten days, so it's normal for your energy to ebb and flow. Some days you may feel the need for extra rest, while other days you may notice a renewed sense of energy, clarity, and vitality. We encourage you to give yourself permission to honor both.

Many factors can influence how you feel throughout the cleanse, including your previous eating habits, hydration, sleep, stress levels, caffeine intake, daily activity, and your body's individual needs. This is why we encourage you to approach your journey with curiosity rather than expectation.

The 10-Day Detox is also an invitation to slow down. If your body asks for more rest, listen. If you feel energized, enjoy gentle movement like walking, stretching, yoga, or spending time in nature. The goal isn't to push through—it's to support your body with compassion.

To help support your energy throughout the cleanse, we recommend:

• Staying well hydrated.
• Eating plenty of fresh fruit throughout the day.
• Taking your nutritional support as directed.
• Prioritizing restful sleep.
• Making time for meditation, breathwork, and mindful practices.

If you experience severe weakness, persistent dizziness, fainting, confusion, or symptoms that concern you, discontinue the program and seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

Remember, your body is constantly communicating with you. The more you learn to listen, the more empowered you'll become to support it with the nourishment, rest, and care it needs.

Absolutely. Most members of our Sanctuary community continue working, caring for their families, and going about their daily lives while completing the 10-Day Detox.

That said, we encourage you to choose a time when you can be a little more intentional with your schedule. While the program is designed to fit into everyday life, giving yourself extra space for meal preparation, hydration, meditation, rest, and self-care practices can make the experience even more meaningful.

Every person's journey is unique. Some people feel energized and clear-headed throughout the ten days, while others may find their body asking for a little more rest, especially during the first few days. The key is to honor where you are each day rather than pushing through.

Yes! In fact, gentle movement is encouraged throughout your detox journey.

Movement is a beautiful way to support both your physical and emotional well-being. Walking, stretching, yoga, hiking, rebounding, and other mindful forms of movement can help you feel more connected to your body while supporting circulation, mobility, and overall wellness.

How much you exercise during the ten days is highly individual and depends on your current fitness routine, energy levels, and how your body is feeling. Some people continue with moderate workouts, while others naturally feel called to slow down and focus on restorative movement.

The most important practice is to listen to your body.

The recipes are generally designed to make approximately two to four servings, allowing for leftovers. Follow the measurements in the current digital guide and adjust portion size to your nutritional needs rather than treating the listed yield as a required intake limit.

Hydration is one of the most important parts of your detox journey. During these ten days, we encourage you to drink plenty of fluids to support your body's natural cleansing and elimination processes.

As a general guideline, we recommend working toward up to one gallon of water each day, depending on your body's needs, activity level, climate, and overall health. This can also include freshly made fruit and vegetable juices, which provide additional hydration along with naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

At The Sanctuary, we often say, "The solution to pollution is dilution." Water plays an essential role in supporting every system of the body, helping to transport nutrients, support healthy digestion, and maintain normal elimination.

Yes. Colon cleansing is a foundational part of The Sanctuary 10-Day Detox, which is why every kit includes an enema bag and step-by-step guidance in your Digital Detox Guide.

We understand that for many people, the idea of using an enema can feel unfamiliar or even intimidating at first. However, once you understand the important role the colon plays in elimination, many people begin to see it as one of the most empowering practices of the entire journey.

At The Sanctuary, we believe that supporting healthy elimination is just as important as supporting the body's natural cleansing processes. During the detox, you're nourishing your body with fruit, hydration, herbs, fiber, and wellness support. Daily enemas are included as a practice to help encourage regular elimination and support your body's natural process of clearing waste from the colon.

Many members of our community share that this practice helps them feel more comfortable throughout the detox and leaves them feeling lighter and more supported during their journey.

If you've never done an enema before, don't worry. Your Detox Guide walks you through the process step by step, helping you feel confident and comfortable as you learn this new wellness practice.

As with every aspect of the 10-Day Detox, listen to your body. If you experience significant pain, bleeding, or other concerning symptoms while using an enema, discontinue use and seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

One of our core philosophies is that a healthy colon is the foundation of overall wellness. Learning how to support healthy digestion and elimination isn't just something you practice for ten days—it's knowledge that can serve you for a lifetime.

Think of our Binder as a gentle sweep for your digestive tract.

Made with 90% psyllium fiber, it moves through the colon, helping support healthy elimination, and promoting regular bowel movements. During the 10-Day Detox, we believe supporting elimination is just as important as supporting the body's natural cleansing processes.

The Binder is one of the foundational tools in our detox because it works alongside hydration, fruit, herbs, Kidney Tea, and daily colon cleansing practices to help keep things moving. We encourage drinking plenty of water when taking the Binder, and if you take prescription medications, or supplements, your binder needs to be taken an hour away from those for them to be affective.

Yes, many members of our Sanctuary community experience temporary changes such as headaches, body aches, fatigue, or a coated tongue, especially during the first few days of the detox.

For many people, headaches are simply the result of stepping away from caffeine, processed foods, and refined sugars. Others notice body aches or physical discomfort as they slow down and create space for emotional patterns, stress, and tension to surface. Your mind and body are deeply connected, and it's not uncommon for emotional shifts to be felt physically.

The most important thing is to trust the process while continuing to support your body. Stay hydrated, nourish yourself with plenty of fruit, rest when your body asks for it, and continue your daily wellness practices. We also encourage talking to your body with compassion and gratitude—acknowledging the incredible work it's doing to restore balance.

Everyone's experience is different.

Some members of our community notice weight loss during the 10-Day Detox, while others maintain their weight or even see slight fluctuations. Every body responds differently, depending on factors such as digestion, hydration, inflammation, and your body's individual needs.

Many people tell us they feel lighter throughout the detox, which they often attribute to reducing inflammation, supporting healthy elimination, and clearing accumulated waste from the digestive tract. Regardless of what the scale says, most people notice changes in how they feel more than the number itself.

At The Sanctuary, weight is never the focus. Our goal isn't to chase a number on the scale—it's to help you create an environment where your body feels nourished, supported, and able to function at its best. The greatest transformation isn't always what you lose—it's what you gain through understanding, empowerment, and learning to support your body for the long term.

Every journey is unique, but one thing we hear again and again is:

"I finally feel like myself again."

Many members of our Sanctuary community share that after completing the 10-Day Detox, they feel:

Lighter and more energized

Less inflamed and less bloated

Clearer mentally with improved focus

More grounded and present

Better connected to their body's needs

 More mindful of the foods they choose

More hydrated and nourished

More in tune with their intuition and spirit

Inspired to continue healthier habits long after the ten days

While every experience is different, our hope is that this journey gives you something far greater than ten days of healthy eating.

We hope it helps you understand your body instead of fearing it. We hope it reminds you that your body is intelligent, resilient, and always communicating with you. And most of all, we hope it empowers you with the knowledge and practices to support your wellness for years to come.

Yes. For many people, the emotional journey becomes just as meaningful as the physical one.

At The Sanctuary, we believe the body holds more than just physical experiences—it also carries stress, emotions, and patterns from our daily lives. When you intentionally slow down, nourish yourself, and create space for healing, it's not uncommon for emotions you've been carrying to come to the surface.

This is a sacred time to simply observe without judgment.

Whether feelings of joy, sadness, gratitude, frustration, peace, or even unexpected emotions arise, we encourage you to honor them rather than push them away. Your daily meditation, journaling, breathwork, and even your enema practice can become opportunities to consciously release what is no longer serving you and create space for something new.

You don't have to fix every emotion that comes up. Sometimes the greatest healing comes from simply allowing yourself to feel.

Congratulations! Completing your 10-Day Detox is something to be proud of, but your journey doesn't end on Day 10.

That's why we've created a 3-Day Post-Cleanse Guide to help you thoughtfully transition back into everyday eating. This gentle reintroduction period is designed to help your digestive system adjust while giving you the opportunity to notice how different foods make you feel.

During these three days, you'll gradually add foods back into your diet using the guidance provided in your Post-Cleanse Guide. We encourage you to move slowly, eat mindfully, and continue listening to your body's wisdom.

Many people find that after ten days, they have a renewed appreciation for nourishing foods and a greater awareness of how certain foods affect their energy, digestion, and overall well-being.

Absolutely. At The Sanctuary, we believe detoxification isn't just for people who don't feel well—it's an opportunity for everyone to intentionally support their body.

Our modern world exposes us to stress, processed foods, environmental pollutants, and countless everyday influences. Even those who eat well, exercise regularly, and prioritize their health can benefit from taking time to slow down, simplify, and give their body the space to reset.

The 10-Day Detox isn't about fixing something that's broken. It's about honoring the incredible work your body does every single day and providing it with intentional nourishment, hydration, herbal support, and practices that encourage rest and renewal.

Many of the healthiest people we know choose to incorporate seasonal or periodic wellness resets simply because they value prevention, mindfulness, and creating space to reconnect with their bodies.
