[By day 3 during Dr Cory's Essential Cleanse] I was sleeping like a rock by 10pm, bouncing out of bed with my daughter at 7am, and planning ahead so we never ran out of food or defaulted to "low energy" foods. My face thinned out, my clothes fit better, and I have consistent energy again which makes it sooo much more motivating to exercise (rather than talk myself into needing down time).
(The cleanse manual) has simple, FAST, easy recipes that taste great, provide great leftovers and make me feel satisfied without feeling too full. I also learned how important sleep is... it's usually the thing I'm willing to sacrifice because I can "deal" without it, or with less of it... but when I sleep well, everything is so much better - less worry and anxiety and more heightened senses, awareness, JOY, and mindfulness.

Before I started Dr. Cory's Essential Cleanse, my mood was up and down, as was my energy level. Due to my extremely busy schedule, I needed high amounts of sugar and caffeine to get me through every single day. I was anxious when I took in stimulants (i.e. sugar and coffee) and depressed when I crashed from them. As a result of this regimen, my digestion was very poor, and it had been poor for so long, I did not even know how it was supposed to feel. Until Dr. Cory's cleanse, I was not in touch with my body's natural state, and therefore, did not necessarily even know that it was that bad. After the essential cleanse, there is no way I want to go back to those bad habits. My body feels so much cleaner and so much more energized that I really don't crave foods like sugar, fried food, or caffeine, because I don't crave dulling my bodily sensations and functions. During the cleanse, I actually had a burst of energy in the mornings, ready to go at 7-8am, and able to focus throughout the day. Also,I had much deeper sleep than I did before, waking up 4-5 times a night. This cleanse has really changed the way I feel about myself, the way I feel about my body, and the way I feel IN my body. Life is supposed to be "good, clean fun"!

"Dr Cory offers a supportive container & mindful approach to her cleanse program. Right away, I felt a shift in my body & clarity of presence that continued to deepen throughout the process. By the end, I felt purified and lighter in body, heart, and spirit. I took away a lot a knowledge and nutritional information, that I continue to draw from on a regular basis. Her program truly reflects and enhances the yoga journey. It will deepen your practice and transform your being." - Hillary Skibell, Yoga Instructor
Before the Essential Cleanse program, my energy was super depleted since I contracted dengue fever. My energy was restored with this guided cleanse and the consistent ritual helped me get back on track. One pleasant surprise was that during my third colonic...a worm came out and instantly felt an improvement. Overall I am more vibrant and my belly which had been swollen for a while returned to its usual less distended shape. If not for the cleanse and colonic I would have not ever known this! Other than that, my sleep has improved as well as my general knowledge and understanding of holistic nutrition and the toxic world we live in. I learned:
1. How to safely & consistently continue on with this therapeutic process and how to integrate it into everyday life
2. That I feel genuine and alive when I take the steps to be in charge of my health
3. That this is a cleanse that I have enjoyed and will come back to again and again
Thanks again for such a complete, fun, and do-able cleanse. I'm excited to be able to pass along my experience to others and be able to 100% recommend your program to anyone without hesitation.

"It was momentous! Life changing!"

"I loved Dr. Cory's Essential (Virtual) Cleanse. It was so gentle on my body and very easy to incorporate into my active, daily life. It was wonderful to reconnect to my own sense of self nurturing by learning to prepare new, healthy and yummy recipes.
Before starting the cleanse I felt super intoxicated, my digestion was out of whack and I had two rashes on face for weeks. I was crashing from sugar binges around 4pm and feeling lethargic. By day 5 of the cleanse I noticed a steady flow of energy throughout the day. Surprisingly I did not crave sugar or miss my morning cup of coffee. Coming off the cleanse the rashes on my skin started to clear up, my digestion was back on track and I even lost 5 pounds. The best part of it all is that I feel more balanced and continuing a healthier way of eating seems like a natural progression.
I don't feel like binging, as I have in the past while on other cleanses, such as the master cleanse. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Cory for developing a wonderfully effective and comprehensive cleanse. I totally recommend the essential cleanse to anyone interested in gaining a better grip on their health."

This is the second cleanse I have done with Dr. Cory, and the first I have done by teleclass. I have used both to establish an optimum baseline starting point to begin training for a springtime triathlon. Last year was my first cleanse and first Ironman. The Ironman was a goal I had set for myself after a couple of heart attacks and two knee replacements. I was skeptical about my ability to complete the event, but I wanted to try, and Dr. Cory agreed to help me. With her help and guidance on my health and nutrition I was able to finish the event and achieve my personal goal. This year I hope to better my time and intend to make the Lone Star Ironman an annual event for me for as long as I am able. The cleanse and the products are a great starting point for me and really help to get off on the right foot.

"The cleanse experience was AMAZING! I feel infinitely better - and the change is as much psychological as physical - I feel so much HAPPIER, from the inside out - just excited about life, sparked, optimistic, bursting with ridiculous amounts of energy. <Prior to the Essential Cleanse, I suffered from>Insomnia, fatigue, itchy legs (like, bad itching - from ankle to knee - no lotions or creams worked, would scratch in my sleep, legs shredded and torn. It was bad. I am now bursting with energy, sleeping better than I ever have, and leg itch reduced considerably. Eating less, enjoying it more, content, happy" -Anonymous in New York, NY Click here to read full testimonial!
"The Essential Cleanse Program has opened up a whole new rich world of health and vitality to me. Before the cleanse program, I was full of aches and pains with very little, if any, energy. Coming out of the cleanse, nearly all of my physical symptoms have dramatically improved. I haven't felt so good and so hopeful in a long time! Thanks to Dr. Cory's enthusiasm and guidance, I now look forward to a much healthier and thus happier future!"

"Dr. Cory’s cleanses are one of the most important thing I have done for my health. I haven’t been sick in over a year since the first cleanse class and I have much more energy. The cleanse has also helped me to better understand my nutritional needs so I can make sure I eat enough of the right kind of foods. It provided a great boost towards permanently change my eating habits. Whole foods and raw foods taste better now and are fulfilling for me so I don’t need the mac’n cheese, ice cream, etc… " -Lyn T, Berkeley, CA
"Dr. Cory’s cleanse is the safest, gentlest and most natural cleanse I’ve ever encountered. The program honors the process the body needs to go through in order to cleanse, that is why it is slow and gradual. The other piece that’s effective is the once a week calls with Dr. Cory and that she is reachable if you need her.It’s definitely changed my eating habits. Not only is my energy level stable, I feel younger and exercising has never been easier. It has taken me to that next level. I’m glad to know that it’s there for me whenever I need to replenish my system. It’s an easy and efficient way to reboot your body, mind and spirit."

I would recommend (Dr Cory's Essential Cleanse) to anyone. I will be doing it again at least once a year. The cleanse totally changed my eating habits and my relationship to certain foods especially wheat, dairy and caffeine. It left me more clear and focused with an abundance of energy. It will change your life!

"I had a wonderful experience on Dr Cory's cleanse program. I have researched and gone on several cleanses before and this was one of the best experiences I have had. the program is supportive and gentle, but very effective. I felt good having Dr. Cory as my guide. She took away all of the guesswork and provided a strong foundation for my cleansing process.

"After a couple of cleanses with Dr. Cory, my diet was cleaned up and I felt better about getting pregnant. When we went to Asia, she sent us with a digestive medicine chest to prevent tummy funk.

This cleanse is a great learning tool. I felt myself becoming more present every day. I have needed to give myself this kind of nurturing for some time and the fact that my husband and I cleansed together allowed us to also care and support each other. This experience has allowed, taught and reminded us that health is the ultimate wealth and with Dr. Cory's support and direction a healthier lifestyle making conscious nutritional choices is easier than one may think! Thank you Cory!! -Cheryl Etu, Boston MA "I came to Dr Cory with chronic digestive issues. After two weeks of her Essential Cleanse, my digestion is better than it's been in 3 years. And I wasn't even expecting an improvement in my joint pain, but now I'm doing handstands with significantly less pain than I've ever had!"
