Everything in life should be balanced. With that in mind, I have decided to do the iZO Cleanze after my trip to Paris. I have been wanting to try it for a year since meeting the company’s founder at a dinner and now the time has come. iZO Cleanze was founded in 2006 by Tim Martin in Los Angeles and has grown from his kitchen to a nationwide business. The cleanse is a raw, vegan, organic juice and superfood program designed to transform your health by detoxifying the colon, liver, gall bladder, kidneys and blood of toxins, parasites and heavy metals. They send everything you need, prepared and ready to drink, directly to your doorstep each morning by 6am if you live in Los Angeles or Orange County and by 10:30 am anywhere else in the US. If you know me, you also know I am as obsessed with eating a raw and vegan diet as I am with being a devoted foodie on occasion. After spending a week at the Ann Wigmore Institute last February learning how to prepare raw foods I became a huge fan of the diet which a cleanse like this could potentially put you on the path to. Living a raw foods lifestyle is really the healthiest thing you can do for your body and it has helped people recover from Cancer, Leukemia and allergies. It is also just a really healthy way to eat in order to alleviate bad eating habits that affect your everyday life and make you more stressed, less focused and unable to sleep at night. I like the sound of this cleanse as it has so much in common with my first few days at Ann Wigmore plus I’ve fallen off the veggie wagon a bit lately and am looking forward to dropping a few pounds. I have always been a relatively healthy eater and my worst vice is probably wine and the occasional foie gras (which is wrong on so many levels, I know, I know…) Ok, so I like liver and caviar every once in a while, shoot me. I’m Russian, we’re born that way. And because I like to indulge sometimes a cleanse like this is the perfect antidote to last week’s Parisian Foodie Tour. I start tomorrow. More later…
