This easy 4 day detox will stimulate your body to
burn fat and cleanse the deep tissues of your body.
You know that it’s time to start improving your health….
- Like most of us, you are probably overwhelmed by contradictory information, cravings that overrule your commitments to ‘eat better’ and your busy schedule.
- You’ve been too hesitant to try a harsher cleansing program, such as a juice fast or raw food diet, because you’re afraid you’ll collapse or be derailed by constant hunger.
- Despite your best intentions, you have been eating too many unhealthy foods, letting stress make you grumpy or not moving your body enough. (It’s okay – this is normal.)
- You often feel too exhausted or sluggish to start a new exercise program or diet.
- Perhaps you already eat pretty well and know how to relax despite a stressful life, but you still need to press your reset button. We all do.
I created the free Short Home Cleanse (SHC) for folks who are too busy to do our 14 day Colorado Cleanse or Panchakarma detox retreats, so they can do this easy 4 day detox and keep on working.
Do you need to cleanse?
It could be time for a cleanse, such as the SHC, if you have one or more of these symptoms of toxicity:
- Weight gain
- Cravings
- Poor Digestion
- Allergies
- Rashes
- Itching skin
- Swollen hands or feet
- Water retention
- PMS
- Breast swelling or tenderness
- Headaches
- Swelling around the abdomen
- Cellulite
- Breast lumps
- Sore feet in the morning
- Sore throats
- Chronic colds
- Weak immunity
- Sluggish bowel movements
- Fatigue and lack of mental clarity
- Loose stools
- Cold hands and feet
- Joint pain that moves around the body
According to Ayurveda, molecules of emotion, such as anger, fear, sadness, jealousy, etc., are lipophilic, which means that they take safe haven and store in our fat cells, causing physical and emotional disturbances for years and years. When we burn our fat cells, we release these old patterns of behavior that we find ourselves repeating over and over again.
We have many reasons to burn our fat cells other than just for the sake of our vanity!
The Short Home Cleanse could be perfect for you if….
- You are ready to feel lighter, be more peaceful, get sick less and crave healthier foods.
- You can set aside a few days to eat our special cleansing diet.
- You are committed to prioritizing your health – at least for 4 days.
- You are self directed and can follow a detox plan on your own. Don’t worry – our plan is easy.
- You need a detox program that you can do while working.
- You don’t have any serious medical issues. If you do, please schedule a consult with John Douillard as he can custom tailor the SHC to meet anyone’s unique needs. Or download our free Short Home Cleanse eBook and show it to your health practitioner.
Success Story...
"I've been doing the Short Home Cleanse for 5 years now, almost at the change of every season. I notice my body starts to crave it after a few months of 'normal' eating because that's when I start eating too many sweet and carbs again. But after just 4 days of ghee and khichadi, my cravings are gone and I can usually coast a few more months without having to use any discipline - I just naturally want to eat clean. It also seems to get my digestion back on track again. I love how my skin glows and how flat my belly is. Whenever I feel a cold or flu coming on I immediately start the short home cleanse and usually by day 2 or 3 all my symptoms are gone and I avoided having a cold! Once it stopped a two week long allergy attack by the first day. So, I always make sure I have the herbs, ghee and khichadi ingredients on hand in case I need to start it. (Oh and sometimes I do it just to save money because eating only khichadi is way cheaper than regular food!). I recommend it to people all the time. Thanks for introducing me to it. I have a feeling it will just be one of those things I do to stay healthy for many more years. Maybe forever." ~ TH
A little about John Douillard…
I am John Douillard, the founder of LifeSpa. I have been teaching natural medicine and Ayurveda for 22 years and have guided over 10,000 people through this cleanse. For many years, I have worked to help make Ayurveda - the ‘science of life’ - accessible to modern Americans. So many of us are too busy to devote a week each season to a Panchakarma detoxifying retreat, which Ayurveda has recommended for 1000s of years as the most effective way to promote youthful health and vitality. Many of us are even too busy to do the Colorado Cleanse, which is a 2 week home detox and digestion boot camp I host twice a year. I created the Short Home Cleanse so that anyone – even you, despite how busy you are – can take charge of your health at home right now in just 4 days. My goal is to help you enjoy a calmer mind, more energetic body, and robust health – naturally. >>> Tell me more about John Douillard

Summary of what you’ll do each day…
Each morning you will drink increasing amounts of melted ghee and eat a simple NONFAT diet to force fat metabolism so you start burning off fat cells. Because fat is a stable, non-emergency fuel, you feel calm when you enter fat metabolism mode. Fat is a detox fuel because molecules of emotion, fat-soluble toxins and chemicals are stored in our fat cells. Some of the toxins stored in our fat cells are preservatives, DDT, dioxin, pollutants, pesticides and other cancer-causing chemicals.
You’ll take 3 Ayurvedic herbal formulas to open your detox pathways, facilitate a deeper detox and improve digestion.
You will eat a NONfat diet of khichadi, which is a special type of split yellow moong dal beans and white basmati rice. Your goal is to eat 3 meals a day without snacking.
The Daily Routine includes specific hydration protocols and stress relieving practices.
On the evening of day 4 you will do a gentle laxative that will help remove the toxins that the ghee and nonfat diet have loosened from your cells.
