In a previous life I studied nutrition and started a juice cleanse business, Fresh Cleanse. So I’m no stranger to cleansing and detoxing. While I haven’t done a cleanse since walking away from Fresh Cleanse, last week I felt an incredible urge to hit the reset button. If you’re like me and are in need of a full body cleanse, whatever way you choose to do this, hopefully, you’ll notice a positive difference when it comes to leading a healthier lifestyle.

Life has become wonderfully full, but with that has come more demands on my time, poor nutritional choice and not nearly enough movement. The result: I’ve been feeling lethargic, foggy and in moments down and unmotivated. With a background in pharmacy and nutrition, I know what’s going on in the inside manifests on the outside. And with the gut being the second brain (there are more serotonin receptors – feel-good receptors – in our gut than our brains!), I knew I needed to give my gut a break, allow it to process, catch up and clean up.

I was actually speaking to a friend of mine about this just the other day. She told me that she has been feeling really down recently and less focussed than usual, so she has decided to introduce some CBD products into her mental health toolkit to help her to feel more refreshed. I know that quite a few people like to use CBD products such as these Blessed CBD capsules to boost their mood nowadays and there is a lot of research to suggest that CBD has a wide range of health benefits. I suppose what I am trying to say is that looking after your mental health is all about finding what works for you. So, whether you prefer to use natural products or juice cleanses to help you get back to your best, the choice is totally up to you.
