Worried about caffeine withdrawals during your healthy juice cleanse? It’s hard to break a coffee kick, we get it. So coffee lovers can rest easy: drinking small amounts of black coffee is okay, but best to avoid and relax your nervous system and reduce cortisol! Suggest green tea instead or for your morning maca and cacao blend (recipe to come). And of course, LOTS water!

Stop for a moment and check in with yourself. Are you actually hungry or just craving the chewing sensation? If you’re craving the chewing sensation, try to forget about it! You can do this! Occupy yourself as much as possible—drink water, start that new book on your desk, take a long walk—and surely enough, you’ll forget.

If your body is begging for food, check out the snacks mentioned above.

We do not recommend rigorous exercise, long runs during the cleanse because it is too much on the body. If you are doing the RESET17, you will be able to maintain your workouts. Also a great time to walk and stretch.

No. And I get asked this all the time.

This is not a temporary fix or restrictive plan—it’s the best way to begin a true lifestyle reset.

Think of it this way: you wouldn’t paint over an old, cracked canvas. You’d start fresh. The same is true for your body—especially your digestive system and colon. Clearing out old habits, inflammatory foods, parasites, and an imbalanced gut microbiome creates a clean foundation so your new habits actually stick—for the long haul.
