How is Clean 21 different from the previous 21-Day Program?

We updated our 21-day program with a more integrated 'East-West' approach. Clean 21 includes whole Ayurvedic herbs traditionally used for detoxification, and it offers a well-rounded Functional Medicine systems-based approach to detoxification.

Why is there no separate bottle of probiotics included in the new program?

We created a unique, shelf-stable probiotic now included in the Cleanse Shake for a more streamlined protocol. There is no need to take an additional probiotic during your Clean 21 program.

Our probiotic is clinically researched and backed by scientific studies that show this probiotic strain can help address multiple health conditions and support detoxification. It nourishes and supports the digestive system, bolsters immune function, and is shown to enhance protein absorption and utilization.

As always, we encourage you to include probiotic-rich foods into your diet such as fermented foods and kombucha, to offer additional probiotics, as well as diversity, to the gut flora.

Who is the Cleanse for?

The Cleanse is great for many different types of individuals, lifestyles, and diets. It is specially formulated only for those who are over 18 years old, and is not suitable for those who are pregnant or nursing. If you are currently on prescription medication, or working with a health condition, we recommend reading our Medical Conditions page and consulting with your doctor before getting started.

What is the 12-hour window?

When the body is constantly tied up with digesting food, it doesn't allow us to fully clean house. After your evening shake, leave a twelve-hour window before having your morning shake. If you have your evening shake at 7pm, you should have your morning shake at 7am or later. The body sends the signal to go into deep detox mode approximately eight hours after your last meal. Then the body needs another four hours to do a deep clean. Eight hours (for digestion) + four hours (for a deep clean) = the Twelve-Hour Window. Although you may find it challenging, committing to it will help you get the most out of your Cleanse.

What's the difference between the Clean 21 and Clean 7?

Both programs are built around a doctor-designed protocol, shakes, and supplements that tap into and enhance the body's natural ability to heal. Clean 7 introduces principals from Ayurveda and extends the intermittent fasting windows used in the 21-Day Program. This can offer a reset for those who need a shorter time frame. If you are new to Clean, we suggest starting with Clean 21, which can help access more meaningful and longer-lasting changes in both the body and mind.

Can I do both Clean 21 and Clean 7 back-to-back? Which order is recommended if so?

Extending your program can be a great tool to access deeper and more meaningful changes in both the body and mind. Feel free to begin with either one.

If you are extending your Clean 21 program, we recommend pausing for one week before starting your next program. The week-long break will help cultivate dietary diversity, resiliency in the body, and deeper efficacy of the programs.

During this week, you’ll stick to the Cleanse Diet, but pause on taking the Cleanse Supplements and Cleanse Shakes. You can enjoy smoothies during this time, as they are easy to digest and a nutrient-rich option to keep you full and balanced. Our Daily Shake is a cleanse-approved option to serve as a base for your daily smoothies.

When should I schedule with a Clean Health Coach?

Our Health Coaches can help you stay on track during your Cleanse, answer any questions you may have, and help you develop a post-program plan. You can book your one-on-one phone appointment before, during, or after your program. We also offer support by phone, email, and chat so no matter what your routine is, you can get an answer to your question quickly. You can book a complimentary appointment here.

Does the kit require refrigeration?
