Health is your number one priority, and your ideal holiday doesn’t involve sitting and drinking on a beach – it means building even stronger health and vitality. Your system is strong, and you are perfectly primed to take part in a Full Fast Cleanse – the strongest and most purifying of the three internal cleanse options available.

Mostly B’s:
You are very healthy, but everyone could do with a reset from time to time. The Juice Fast cleanse is the most effective way for you to purify your system, gentler than the Full Fast, you will find that it is still ultra-cleansing, but allows you to keep your energy up with less pronounced detox symptoms.

Mostly C’s:
Starting on a raw food fast would be the best option for you – we would then transition you over to a juice fast so that you could experience the fantastic transformation that happens when your digestive system is switched off. Beginning on raw food means that your body will have the chance to detox from some of your dietary and lifestyle choices, and lessen uncomfortable detox symptoms significantly.
