Let the Journey Begin!
The Purification journey has begun for my two offices. Each time I teach a class, I come home and say to my wife, " This is the best class ever!", and I have done it again. I love teaching my passion of health and nutrition. Both of my groups are doing so well. They have entered into their second week of the program. I have a patient that is journaling her experience and I was given permission to share her experience. I feel it is important that you hear it from the patient stand point, not just mine. Here is the start of her journey on the Purification Program!
Patient C
My 21 day cleansing journey
I agreed to take on Dr. B’s challenge of the Standard Process Purification Program. I was at a crucial point in my life. I had a lot of personal challenges and with that comes stress. I had gained about 15 lbs. and I wasn’t feeling very confident or good about myself. At first I was very excited about it. I read the program outline, researched recipes and made shopping lists. As the start date neared I would call Dr. B with excuses, I worried because I can’t be cranky I am starting a new job, I have adrenal fatigue I don’t think it’s a good idea, etc. Dr. B’s response was the same to each “this is perfect time and exactly what you need.” The day of the cleanse I caught myself having a hissy fit! How am I going to live without coffee? Great now I have to cook 2 meals instead of one! How am I going to live without sugar and bread? I had to stop and check in to see really what was going on. I then realized I was scared, what if I fail, what it…. fill in your blank. In that moment I realized “The Purification Program” is more aligned with the way I truly want to live my life and I needed to do it. That day I headed to the first cleansing class, still not convinced that I wanted to be there. By the time I walked out I felt empowered and confident that I could indeed be successful!
Attending the classes is a crucial part of the program. We learned great information; why cleansing is necessary, nutrition, and recipes. But the most important piece Dr. B shared was with us was being prepared. She told us to take time to plan out 3-4 days in advance and to always have healthy snacks with you. This was a lifesaver for me when my boyfriend said yes to a last minute football game gathering at his sister’s house. I had prepared some items ahead so I packed my own food and we headed over. There was a lot of temptation with alcohol, snacks and BBQ. It was hard not to surrender to the peer pressure and cravings. If I hadn’t been prepared I could have sabotaged it all in second. All the hard work and dedication I had put into myself the days prior. Think of the feast of self negative talk I would have had. As the days are passing I am feeling my confidence in successfully completely not only the next few weeks, but a new way of living!
I will keep you posted on her progress!
