OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
If we have not addressed your specific question here, please feel free to contact us for more information.
Q. This is all new to me! How will I know what to do when I arrive and also when I return home?
A. On your arrival day you will have a full Orientation Class where you will learn about our facility, the options available to you, as well as the Juice Cleanse Detox. Classes are an integral part of the Live Healthy Retreat© experience and cover a wide range of topics including how to transition back to eating after the cleanse so you don't ruin your detoxifying and cleansing juice fast.
Q. Will I be hungry?
A. A little, but that's why you opted to complete your detoxifying juice cleansing at a retreat, so we can help you through it . Our recipes are designed with the nutrition needed to avoid too much discomfort or anxiety. You'll find that if you follow the program you will be drinking every 30-60 minutes which satisfies the body's need for intake. The Live Healthy Superfoods DETOX DRINK PLUS© , in particular, will be especially helpful in giving you a feeling of fullness. However, if you are still hungry, just let us know. Remember, you are receiving the nutrients you need in liquid form during your cleanse.
Q. What if I am on medication or taking supplements?
A. The majority of our guests successfully continue on with their prescribed medication while completing the Live Healthy Retreat© program. We are not doctors and we do not have any doctors onsite so please use common sense and consult with your prescribing physician should you have any questions regarding your medication. We ask that you refrain from taking any additional supplements as our plan has been carefully designed and includes everything you need for a successful cleanse.
Q. Will I lose weight?
A. Our guests report losing an average of 1-3 pounds per day – based on individual metabolism of course. As in most cases, Men often lose more quickly.

Weight loss is only a small part of what you will experience once you've completed your Juice Cleanse.
