“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition”. – Thomas Edison
Cleansing is a popular concept these days – and for good reason. People want and need to feel healthier in their mind-body-spirit.
We’re literally starving for ways to feel more energy, have less pain, and experience confidence in our bodies.
But when a cleansing method isn’t sustainable… it can actually do more harm than good.
Ayurveda’s different.
What is an Ayurvedic Cleanse?
Ayurveda is a 5,000 year-old holistic health care system that takes a symptomatic approach to health.
Ayurveda means “knowledge of life” and “knowledge of the self.” Like all holistic health systems, it’s rooted in the five elements and works with your body-mind-spirit as a whole entity. It doesn’t separate from the body what’s happening in the mind or emotions.
Many people self-diagnose based on their symptoms, not their true nature or what we call “Prakruti” (core constitution) in Ayurveda. When you cleanse with Ayurveda as your guide, you take into account all of your current symptoms – but also who you are at your core.
When a cleanse is specifically geared towards your constitution… when it takes into account your current imbalances… and when it’s designed to help you thrive in the season you’re in… THAT is a powerful cleanse that yields sustainable and remarkable results.
Ayurvedic cleanses are detoxifying for sure. And we all need to detox from time to time. But what sets them apart from juice cleanses or water fasts is that they also nourish, support and balance the body-mind-spirit – while you cleanse.
Ayurveda helps you pay intimate attention to the organs that rule the season you’re cleansing in. For example, in spring, we emphasize liver and gall bladder-loving foods.
Ayurvedic cleanses pay attention to the weather and make sure that your food choices promote balance and well being in accordance with what’s happening outside.
And when I say weather, I mean a little more than just climate… Any external force – whether excessive travel, emotional stress, lack of good food, and more – are factors Ayurveda considers.
Ayurveda gives you personalized guidance that gears your cleanse experience specifically towards what you need right now.
And the best part? Ayurvedic cleanses make you feel absolutely amazing.
How Will You Benefit from The RAD Cleanse?
When you do one of my RAD Cleanse programs – you learn so much about food and what you can eat to feel your best. It’s more than a kitchari cleanse – it’s an education in Ayurvedic nutrition and nourishment.
You get to eat food that tastes great and brings you joy… and, you get to eat food that truly makes a difference for your health and vitality.
Most people never learn how to align themselves with nature. They don’t know how return to their body’s natural rhythm – so they don’t. They never learn how good they can truly feel.
As a culture, we’re indoctrinated into a mentality around food that is limiting. We think healthy must not be pleasurable or fun – and there’s a cultural taboo around detoxing as deprivation.
It’s just not true. The cleanses I’ve led for 10+ years have been fun, delicious, interesting, and inspiring for my students. Most of them repeat The RAD Cleanse again and again – because they’re so excited to dive deeper and experience even more healing the next time around.
Here’s a snapshot of what cleansers tell me after they complete The RAD Cleanse:
“Talya’s cleanse helped me find a healthy way to transition from a super-positive experience with the keto diet back to a higher carb intake. At the time, nothing in my refrigerator looked appetizing. I couldn’t figure out what to eat!
When the RAD Cleanse Shopping List landed, everything turned around for me. I jotted down every food on the list I felt comfortable with and threw in a few new ones I’d never tried or didn’t eat often.
Just choosing to eat foods from the RAD Shopping List, without doing anything more formal than that, turned my sense of nourishment around literally overnight.
Talya’s vibrant enthusiasm, deep knowledge, well-crafted lessons, and genuine care for her students made it easy for me to stay motivated and adopt healthy new habits that I continue to use every day.” – Delana Thompson, writer and yoga teacher
“The problem with not doing seasonal detoxes is that any habits that are accelerating your aging, or immune-destroying, or making you unhappy just keep on building.” – Cate Stillman
More About Ayurvedic Cleanses
It’s something many people want to do, but they don’t know how. Or, they don’t know enough about it. Here are some really clear reasons why you want to cleanse at least once/year – if not seasonally.
- A cleanse is a way to rid your body of unnecessary toxicity – to give your body a break and overall reset from the natural accumulation that sets in from regular daily living.
- If you have problems with digestion, allergies, inflammation or immunity, a cleanse can offer reprieve by eliminating all that you no longer need. While building up the stores and reserves of all that you do.
- Cleanses are deeply rejuvenating and my #1 pro tip for preventing disease. There are so many long-term benefits that come from doing a cleanse. Most notably, cleanses leave you feeling invigorated, renewed, and whole. They create a foundation of health for the season you’re moving towards… and they keep your immunity running in tip top shape.
- When you simplify and purify your diet, you support the body’s natural inclination to detoxify. A foundation of internal health and healing is restored when the body gets an opportunity to REST. Rest is underemphasized in our culture! It’s absolutely vital if you want to lose weight, restore your immunity and improve your digestion.
- Cleansing helps you learn how to rest your digestion and, as a result, get deeper sleep, feel more relaxed, and experience greater vitality.
Did you know? Toxins truly damage tissues and cells. Toxins that can’t leave the body through digestion get trapped in liver fat cells – a phenomenon that releases damaging free radicals and causes harmful oxidation to the body.
It’s the liver’s job to cope with ALL toxic chemicals. So it’s imperative that we help the liver do its job well and with as little stress as possible. At least 2x/year.
In Ayurvedic cleanses, we address all six “organs” of elimination – the liver, lymph, colon, lungs, kidneys and skin. The cleansing foods you eat – rooted in Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom – address and support them all.
Foods feed your blood and blood feeds your organs, so cleansing through food is at the root of all organ and tissue health.
