Over ten years ago @ York College, Nebraska, USA… I enrolled in a nutrition class that forever changed my life…and will likely continue to change my life. A great book (The new Nutrition :: Michael Colgan) was our text. It was at that time that I opted to start using USANA vitamins which were and still are one of the top Nutritional Supplement products on the market. Known for their BIO-AVAILABLE nutrients… and potency… they are some legit stuff! 
I have sported these vitamins for over ten years prior to being introduced to the Isagenix System. One of the best parts about this detox/cleanse is that you get to EAT… it isn’t all thin liquid or detox gone psyco! It is my belief that the Isagenix system is built on the ideal that: Mealtimes are your opportunity to heal and nourish every single tiny part of the amazing instrument nature has given you. Don’t waste them!
It is so simply, really. Toxins, sugar and saturated fats are messing up our digestive system, nervous system and hormones, check out how all of it begins in our blood stream at a cellular level! If our blood isn’t “clean”, then our organs aren’t clean and can’t work efficiently, which explains fatigue and foggy brain.
Toxin’s prevent fat / cellulite from being reabsorbed into the blood, which is why cleansing is SOOOOOO important. If you are new to my blog… be certain to check out the Isagenix 30 day cleanse! You don’t need to lose weight… your body needs to RELEASE it. And it can happen simply and easily with detoxing and cleansing your system!
At first glance (1st impression) one might assume based on past experiences that the Isagenix program looks like a liquid medical diet. The fact is it is far from any program that put you in a state of gluconeogenesis (The body’s ability to look for a new fuel substrate for the loss of (CHO) carbohydrates- glycogen (stored energy) converting amino acids ( muscle tissue “our fat burning engines”) into a fuel substrate. This means you will lose a lot of water, and muscle is 70% water….so we fall into the category of “rapid weight loss” which has a tremendous negative “after” effect on the entire system / body chemistry. Obesity and its associated degenerative diseases including heart disease continue to rise in an unrelenting epidemic. Despite media attention to the magnitude of the problem, people continue in lifestyles that promote disease. The Isagenix program is noted as new food technology that brings a fresh approach to the problem has helped numerous individuals recapture many aspects of health including fat loss, cleansing the lymphatic system, colon health, and strengthening the liver. (Basically assisting the cleaning of all the bodies filters) This flooding the system with nutrients we can’t possibly get from foods, (unless we evaluate the farmers soil, the foods that feed our live stock, and the water that all arthropods to fish to mollusks swim and feed. Fact: our soil is bankrupt, and so is our body nutritionally.This cleansing/ healthy eating system has captured the attention of the medical community as well because the results are gained without added stimulants, herbs or drugs.
The Isagenix System is a multifaceted program incorporating education, exercise, healthy lifestyle and dietary choices, and the Isagenix nutritional supplement formulations.
A study by the medical community demonstrates the remarkable safety of the system. The results are significant in that electrolytes remained stable, as did renal function and serum calcium. Lean body mass was generally preserved and patients reported improved overall health in just a few days. Blood sugars were stabilized and lipids levels improved. Body composition was markedly improved with significant decreases in weight and body fat percentages. Total inches lost were also remarkable. We conclude from this that the total inches lost was a measure of the total body fat lost as indicated by the drop in the body mass index. Subjectively, people reported more energy, a more even temperament, less subjective pain, and improvements in several body system groups. This food technology differs from diet programs in many important aspects. Diets for weight loss typically attempt to cause imbalances in carbohydrate, fat and protein rations.
Perhaps for this reason alone, diets are not sustainable (Diets are like holding your breath, you can only do it for so long) and dieters nearly always yo-yo their weight over time causing progressive increases in percentage of body fat. A drastic reduction in fat-free mass is prevalent. (Also LPL hormone levels increase, making it more difficult to utilize and transport fat) This composition change is a result of losing lean muscle mass during the diet phase and adding extra fat as the weight is put back on over time. Thus making it more difficult to lose weight moving forward. This study corroborates company testimonials of multiple general health benefits in addition to rapid but safe reductions in adiposity.
The most important missing link that there are five pillars of health. We cleanse, we take a grass fed protein shake, (not corn and hay fed) we take am and pm vitamin packs (so simple) we eat a healthy balanced (your choice) 400-600 calorie lunch, a sensible snack mid afternoon, a 400-600 calorie dinner (your choice) and at night possible a cleanse drink. We are not a liquid diet program, we do not promote “muscle loss, or a reduction in (CHO) carbs as all other programs recommend. We do incorporate exercise daily. I have been in this industry for 25 years, I can assure you with my reputation, and livelihood Isagenix is second to none when it comes to making your body a perfect environment for longevity, and wellness.
On a superficial note, once one tries the “system” there are many life changing results. I own a wellness / personal training center and have been witness to the following:
- A drastic noticeable difference in water retention
- A loss of migraines, and eye pain (caused from inflammation)
- A decreased desire if no desire for caffeine
- A state of clarity
- A reduction in body fat %
- A better night’s sleep
- More energy

So on a different note… did you know that 80% of our immune system is in our digestive system and if you cannot get the STUFF (i.e. antioxidants) through your digestive system… you got trouble!
