A Clean Engine Runs Better

My recent experience with body detoxification and complete nutrition

I decided late last Summer to look at training and my health in a new way. With my favorite running season (cross country) and my 46th birthday rolling rapidly towards me on the calendar, I knew that I didn’t want to leave anything on the trails this autumn…It was time to try some new approaches, abandon a few habits, sacrifice a little and train harder.

The first big change I made, and the one described herein, was to finally take the advice of a health and wellness mentor of mine (Mike Senechal, NMT) and order the Isagenix 9-day cleanse program through him. Mike had lobbied me for two years to do it and I wish I had acted right away…The results were astounding and served as the catalyst for what was one of the best competitive seasons of my career!

Here’s what I’m going to share with you:

  • Why you should cleanse
  • How it works
  • My cleansing experience
  • The importance of clean food
  • The protein factor
  • How to get started

This is a short overview to deliver some basic information and hopefully give you something to think about as you plan your next meal!
