I like that she pushed a whole body cleanse instead of focusing on just one organ.

although therevwas some good information given- I don’t feel that this pod cast was as informative as the other two in this series. I wish that there was a little more infoation given on the whole body as was on what to take to cleanse the liver.

Thank you for these podcasts

I’ve had a few friends do a cleansing and they’ve all had very different results. I’d be interested in doing this…thanks for the information!

Thanks so much for the great information! I’ve been reading up on doing a cleanse, but was getting a lot of differing views. The podcast was succinct and provided a lot of great information!
January 29th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
I have heard alot about cleansing but have always felt hesitant about trying it out. This podcast helps me feel alot more comfortable and better educated about cleansing. The tips for cleansing are very helpful.
January 29th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Wow - I had no idea! Thanks for the information - now to apply it. Also thanks to mod*mom for directing me this way.

We need a cleansing here, thanks for all the great info!

I did not know that the liver is where the “burning” of fat takes place. No wonder we need to cleanse. Thanks for the information. Great tips on staying conscious and honoring our own committments to getting healthy.

Referred here by modmom.blogspot.com and I am so glad! I’ve listened to all 3 podcasts of this series and I have been greatly encouraged!
Thank you Whole Foods for creating these!

I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Lucille talk about the important role that the liver plays in helping us achieve and maintain our weight loss goals. I knew that the liver was a detoxifier but what I didn’t know was how it did this job. Occasionally, I like to have an alcoholic beverage when I am out with friends or just relaxing at home. Since being pregnant, I have obviously given this up. I have been eating more fiber and I have been maintaining a healthier lifestyle. This has been a 9 month body cleanse for me and I feel great! I cannot wait to get my husband on the liver cleanse so that I can allow him to feel as great as I do! Thank you for this podcast series!

I have heard about cleansing but really had the wrong idea completely. I’m so glad I listened to this podcast and took some notes. Now I know what to look for when I am ready to do a whole body cleanse. Thank you very much

I am glad I came over to listen to this! I think I will have to try the cleansing factor!
January 30th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Very interesting. I’ll have to work on this.
