Years ago, I got on a juice cleanse kick.  I spent hours watching raw food gurus tout the benefits of cleansing.  I even did an 8 day juice fast at one point. 

I thought fasting was the golden ticket to health.  I thought if I cleansed enough I’d be healed.  

But it didn’t heal me.  If anything it made me feel even more neurotic about what to eat and what not to eat, to the point where green juice seemed the only acceptable thing.   

Then I was introduced to the idea of nourishment.  When you nourish yourself, you add more goodness in. You replenish and restore, instead of depleting and stripping away.

Now I supplement with green juices, for nutrients, minerals and hydration, but I’m no longer trapped into believing that they are the answer. 

Health can’t be found in fad diets. Health is cultivating right relationship. To ourselves, to food, to the earth, to one another.

In Health,
