Ultimate Reset Journey

I am so happy that I decided to complete the Beachbody Ultimate Reset 21 Day Detox!  I feel so much better than what I did prior to starting this journey.  I wanted to provide you with an overview of the Ultimate Reset.  

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset® is a comprehensive, no-starvation, inner-body tune-up that offers much more than the typical cleanse and detox programs on the market. The Ultimate Reset not only helps you eliminate toxins and waste gently and naturally, but it also maximizes your cellular energy production, helping your body process food more efficiently and your systems run more smoothly.* You’ll replace the processed foods you’ve been eating with healthy foods. You’ll eat cleanly—possibly for the fi rst time in your life—and take supplements designed to help your body remove from your cells and organs toxins that you’ve been taking in for decades. The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a complete, three-phase, 21-day mind and body program that provides everything you need to:* • Reclaim your body’s natural balance • Release the harmful materials you may be storing within you • Restore your system to its maximum health

Phase One (Day 1 - 7): RECLAIM your body, accessing its inner chemistry and

preparing for change.

Phase Two (Day 8 - 14): RELEASE the toxic compounds that are stored within your tissues. 

Phase Three (Day 15-21): RESTORE your metabolism to maximum efficiency.

The six supplements and what they do:

Alkalinize - • Helps maintain alkalinity • A super-green mixture of grasses, including wheatgrass, alfalfa, kamut, and barley, that helps neutralize excess acid and maintain alkalinity, bringing your body back into a healthy pH balance and helping to support your immune system • Alkalinize comes in a convenient single daily-dose packet and is taken throughout all 3 phases of the Ultimate Reset program

Soothe - • Helps to enhance digestive health and support the reduction of inflammation • First supplement to combine two incredible botanicals: aloe vera and curcumin • Aloe vera is a succulent plant long used in traditional healing to relieve minor cuts, burns, and insect bites. It’s also a known antioxidant, which when taken internally helps support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response, and soothingly cleanses the entire intestinal tract. Curcumin, a household remedy in India that’s long been a staple in ayurvedic medicine, is a natural extract of the spice turmeric. Like aloe vera, curcumin promotes the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response. Other benefits include its ability to help eliminate free radicals. • Soothe capsules are taken daily throughout all 3 phases of the Ultimate Reset program

Mineralize - • Adds natural minerals needed by the body • Natural Himalayan salt includes up to 84 minerals and trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, and iron. Natural salt can help restore the essential minerals that are vital to your life processes, including building strong bones, enabling nervous system function, aiding in the absorption of nutrients through the digestive tract, and even helping to prevent muscle cramps. • Mineralize is taken throughout each phase of the program and may be used as a seasoning with your meals

Detox - • Helps remove toxins and waste in the colon • This colon-cleansing powder is a blend made from organic sources like camu-camu, chia seed, ginger root, and flaxseed, along with natural spices like turmeric and garlic. Detox helps promote the regularity of bowel movements and gastrointestinal well-being, without forcing your body to react the way most laxatives do. And unlike other cleanses on the market, Detox is a gentle colon cleanse that won’t keep you parked next to the bathroom. • Each single dose of Detox comes premeasured in its own sealed packet. You’ll take this supplement during Week 2 of the program.

Revitalize - • Helps revitalize beneficial flora in the digestive tract • Our pre- and probiotics help restore beneficial flora to your digestive tract. They’re sometimes called “friendly” or “good” bacteria, because they help break down carbohydrates, control the growth of harmful bacteria, and promote a healthy immune system. • Revitalize capsules are taken daily throughout Phase 3 of the Ultimate Reset program

Optimize - • Promotes healthy metabolism and effective body functions • Our proprietary blend of systemic enzymes also contains added camu-camu, which helps promote an optimal immune system and helps manage your body’s natural inflammatory response. Reducing inflammation naturally is the first line of defense against diseases triggered by inflammatory symptoms. • Optimize capsules are taken throughout all 3 phases of the Ultimate Reset program

My Final Results

I only lost 3 pounds but I honestly didn't have that much weight to lose.  I wasn't doing it to lose weight either.  I was doing it to clean out my system from all the toxins and reset my body.  I did have a few cheats and I also worked out during the 21 days.  

Would I do it again?  Probably!!  Let me know if you are interesting in trying the Ultimate Reset by filling out an application below.
