The Martha Stewart Show: February 2, 2010 | Watch the Segment

When the Whole Body Action Plan began, Dr. Alejandro Junger, an integrative physician at the Eleven Eleven Wellness Center, shared a detox plan that attempts to change the way we look, feel, and think about food.

Cleansing and detoxing is a powerful tool; when used wisely, it can help you return to a state of well-being. We are living in toxic times, where the air, water, food, and other products we consume are loaded with toxic chemicals that can cause disease. Continue Reading

The Martha Stewart Show: January 4, 2010 | Watch the Segment

You’ve probably heard about intense detoxification regimens that demand much in the way of discipline without offering much in the way of taste or satisfaction.

Detox doesn’t have to be that way, says Dr. Alejandro Junger, author of “Clean” and creator of the detox program for our Whole Body Action Plan. True, you do need to limit your diet and forego certain indulgences before and during your detox. (Get a list of foods to include and avoid.) Our program calls for four days of light lunches and liquid breakfasts and dinners, which allow your digestive system to focus on driving out toxins.

Gwyneth Paltrow + GOOP: Clean Review

GOOP & Clean

Written by Gwyneth Paltrow | July 2009 | Article Link

As I write this, I am finishing the amazing three-week-long “Clean” detox program detailed below. Designed by New York cardiologist and detoxification specialist Dr. Alejandro Junger, this program allowed me to work and exercise regularly, something I cannot do if I am on a liquid-only detox. I followed it to the letter and I can report that it worked wonders. I feel pure and happy and much lighter (I dropped the extra pounds that I had gained during a majorly fun and delicious “relax and enjoy life phase” about a month ago). I also really enjoyed learning about the incredible health benefits of resting your digestive system, etc. This thing is amazing. And don’t forget to ask your doctor if a cleanse is right for you.

Love,
Gwyneth Paltrow

Bikini season may be nearing its final sunset, but fall’s body-conscious silhouette (the minidress! the sculpted corset!) was the perfect mirror of motivation for me to try out the Clean Program, a 21-day detox touted by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Donna Karan.

Dr. Alejandro Junger arrived in the US from his native country of Uruguay for his post graduate work in cardiology only to find his body and mind falling prey to numerous ailments. After he was prescribed a cocktail of seven medications, he took his healing into his own hands which led him to the study of integrative medicine.

Tune Up: Are Cleanses the Cure?

Written by Joseph Hooper | May 15, 2009 | Article Link

“Of course, this being New York, fashion and fabulousness don’t trail far behind. On her closely watched website, GOOP, Gwyneth Paltrow reported that she was pleased to have found Junger, who suggested to her a more sensible program, “a good detox that is not as hallucinogenic (in a bad way) as the Master Cleanse.” Paltrow’s buddy, fashion icon Donna Karan, is another walking advertisement for the detoxified life. (She, like Gwynnie, does look pretty amazing these days.) Her Urban Zen Integrative Therapy program brings alternative therapies to some of the sickest patients at Beth Israel, and she’s personally managed the neat trick of being a patient, friend, and pro bono PR maven for the three book-writing doctors.”

FitGLOSS: Gloss Find

Written by: Lolita Carrico, Published Jan 8th, 2010
“I’ve always been wary of cleanses — as good as I know they can be for our bodies, I’ve never been able to commit to weeks of juice fasting or drinking ridiculous mixtures of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper or whatever the latest fad may be.”
“Until our contributor, Christina Attiken, told me about The Clean Program. Developed by Dr. Alejandro Junger, New York Times best selling author and Director of Integrative Medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, The Clean Program is a 21-day detox program designed for busy lifestyles.”
“At the end, I dropped about 15 pounds in all and felt a significant improvement in my digestion and cravings. I learned a LOT about how food effects my body and why so many rave about the benefits of cleansing.
And, Dr. Junger’s program which allows for one meal a day isn’t at all impossible to follow.  I’ll be doing this cleanse at least twice a year — the results were more than worth it!”
“*PS – before you balk at the price tag like I did at first, take into consideration that the program includes two of your meals per day for three weeks.”

Detox for Dummies

This celeb detox diet lets you eat real meals–and drop pounds, too.

Gwyneth Paltrow calls it her secret weight loss weapon. Donna Karan swears by it.

But unlike other detox diets, the Clean Program actually lets you–gasp!–eat solid food. Designed by New York cardiologist Dr. Alejandro Junger, the plan consists of two protein-rich shakes per day with one solid meal at lunch. And we mean solid: You’re allowed most fruits and veggies, fish, chicken and nuts. And unlike juice fasts of the past, Paltrow claims she can work and exercise while on the Clean Program.
