"Through my 25 years in medical practice and healthcare, I have come to believe that the cleansing/ detoxification process is the missing link in Western nutrition and one of the keys to real healing."

Detox Cleansing Program

At Lake Travis Wellness Center, we offer specific detox programs designed to promote maximum detoxification in the shortest amount of time. Our goal is to help individuals obtain better health through a variety of programs designed to rid the body of yeast and toxins.For each of our programs, you will receive ALL items necessary for the cleanse, including mixing containers, and personal support to aid you in accomplishing your goals. Other services, including Detox footbaths, and Lymphatic Drainage Massage is also available if requested during your cleanse.

What can you expect from a Detox program?
A lot depends on your toxic level when you begin. Various factors such as poor diet, prescription medication, no exercise and exposure to a toxic environment lead to a build up of toxins in the tissues of the body. This can affect the functioning of the organs and tissues, leading in some instances to various ailments. The value of a detox program is that it re-organizes your beliefs about food and your body. This usually is a permanent change, providing benefits and a tool for you to use for the rest of your life.

How long does it take?
As with all natural remedies, a colon detox program is not an overnight miracle. But a good detox program puts you on a path to total maximum health which will last your entire life. We offer a 7 Day Detox program that you can do while you continue with you normal daily activities. You can still work, exercise and participate in your normal day because your body will be supported during the detox process.

Colon Detox Cleansing for Weight Loss

Will I lose weight? A by-product of a successful Detox program is the rehabilitation of your digestive system. When this is accomplished, you will begin to have fewer food cravings, find yourself feeling more satisfied with less food and healthier eating choices and your body will obtain a normal, healthy weight without the struggle and disappointment of dieting. You will have more knowledge of your own personal “triggers” that cause you to fail in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Testimonials Nature's Reckoning: What goes up must come down, and what goes in must come out.

In August, on Friday the 13th, I got this insane idea that I wanted to do a "Body Cleanse/Body Detox". My thoughts were that I had never really done a complete Body Cleanse and that it could do a Body good.

You see, I'm a Baby Boomer, and I'm fast approaching (or perhaps I'm already there and don't know it or better yet won't admit it...) middle aged-ness. My thoughts were that I should give my "old body" a good head start as I enter into my Golden Years. Honestly, I am truly having a hard time admitting that 60 is just a few short years away...

But back to the story...I decided that if I was going to do a Body Cleanse/Detox, that I was going to do it the right way. I was going to enlist the assistance and guidance of a Health Care Practitioner. Notice I don't say an M.D. as this is I suppose somewhat of a New Age-y type of thing. A Holistic type of thing to be more exact.

I enlisted the services of Karen Million ( I would have loved to have her last name when I was hot to trot in the Real Estate Market a few years back) who has an office out at Lake Travis. Her office from the outside has this warm down home country look about it...covered white porch, hanging plants and 2 white wooden rockers. How inviting; beckoning you to come on in, sit down, relax (as if) and get a Colonic! Ha, the irony of it compelled me to snap this photo!

The plan was simple, sort of. But it was a plan and I think that is important if you want to succeed at anything, you must have a Plan! I will try to be delicate, but some of this is not pretty....(Pretty is as Pretty does reminds me of a Forest Gump truism!).

Basically, for 7 days, you drink a ton of cleansing herbal type stuff that tastes so bad you want to gag, throw it up or both! It's called Pacha Mama which you can mix with water and apple juice, but that does not help the situation one little bit. Since you are cleaning stuff out of your system, you have to put back in around 500 Supplements daily (I exaggerate ever so slightly) so you can survive and not throw your system completely out of whack and into shock. Not only does Karen provide you with all the supplements, antioxidant drinks, protein drinks, and a wonderful nourishing hot spinach soup to help you stick with the program, she also gives you written instructions so you can maintain a schedule. The point is you won't stick with it if you are starving.

Now here comes the FUN part...you have to have a Colonic on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th day. I'm not kidding, that is absolutely the crux of "The Big Plan". Karen does the Colonic at her office and she works weekends to make certain you get your Colonic. She wants to make certain that what you are attempting to cleanse out of your body does not seep back into your body, hence the multitude of Colonic's.

I will say without any trepidation, that it was not easy, it was hard, really really hard. I was tired and had to take naps on the 2nd and 3rd days, I treated myself with kindness. On those days, I think I would have paid $500 for a Hamburger, I just wanted to eat, to chew, to taste yummy food with my family. But stuck with it I did. On the 6th day, I started feeling pretty darn good. I had energy, and the next two days flew by, I came back to the Land of the Living! I made it out alive!

How you might ask? By making a personal commitment to myself, dedicated to the proposition of Health for Myself. It's that simple. As a Mother and a Wife, I nuture everyone else first, for once I nurtured me, first!

A bonus, as it turned out, was that I lost 6 lbs. in that week. My tummy is now as flat as a flitter, for the first time in a long time, I'm ashamed to say....I felt lighter within my body, and less agitated, less anxious, less willing to argue about who left the toilet seat up (we know who did that, eh ladies?).

I was proud of myself and I think I shall make Body Cleansing/Body Detox an annual occurrence. Only you can make the choice and decide if it is right for you. It was for me!

If so, check with your Physician first and then Get a-Cleansing, Get a Colonic and Get Healthy!
