Guest Book Review from Elizabeth

When I began reading Lisa Consiglio Ryan’s “Go Clean, Sexy You”, I was immediately engrossed and impressed. The reading is easy, the tone is engaging, and everything I was reading resonated with my own health journey. Ryan teaches about how all the parts of our lives work together and affect our well-being. Through that concept it makes sense that how we eat, live and practice what we believe all work together to help us live our healthiest lives.

Ryan is a Certified Health Coach and she brings her expertise along with her experience, which has also been incredibly enlightening for me. I’m still learning, and reading and taking notes from this book, and from the Whole Health Designs website.

I’ve taken nutrition classes, juiced, and drank smoothies. I was ready for a new way of looking at my nutritional life. Learning about what it means to go clean, about my PH balance and acidity, so much about restorative health – and feeling the difference it makes to my body – all of these components have encouraged me through this book.

As a sufferer of fibromyalgia, for the first few years after my diagnosis I tried medications prescribed by various Doctors that were ineffective and had terrible side effects that caused my life to be further out of alignment. Many of the concepts and practices put forth in “Go Clean, Sexy You” have helped me remain nearly medicine-free and be back in natural alignment, in every aspect of my life.

Ryan is a terrific author, nutritionist and example; she puts forth complex information in a simple to digest and understand format, and her writing is simply encouraging.

I WROTE THIS BOOK FOR YOU BECAUSE…

I know first-hand how it feels to be overwhelmed with all the diets, quick fix plans out there in the world.

I obsessed about my weight, and wrote endless to-do lists. I counted calories and carbs, took all kinds of vitamins, and worked out until I nearly keeled over. All the while, I dreamed of the day I’d be lean and fit and full of energy and confidence – the day I’d finally feel like I was “good enough”.

Nothing worked though. I’d start off well, and then a few weeks later, I’d go straight back to my old ways. Each time I dieted, it made me feel more and more exhausted, depressed and out of shape, as I beat myself up for not having the willpower to make it work.

And even though I was trying so hard to be healthier, the reality was that I was getting sicker. I had chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, rosacea, chronic cystitis, candida, thyroid issues and IBS… all before I was 30! I didn’t want to take meds, so I tried holistic therapies, got certified in holistic nutrition and my world changed.

I developed my own detox programs that I based on anti-inflammatory foods (fruits, veggies, and dark leafy greens), and started limiting inflammatory foods (dairy, gluten, caffeine, alcohol and processed sugar).

And for the first time in life, I started to see the results I’d dreamed of. I lost weight, felt lean and light, and had pep in my step. But best of all, I started feeling at ease around food. Instead of looking for quick fixes and diet programs, I started listening to my body, and letting it tell me what it needed.

For years, I used food as an enemy and after stepping back and truly listening to my body, I am now free of letting bad habits and twisted views of food run my life. I want you to experience the same freedom… and I’m here to guide you every step of the way with Go Clean, Sexy You.

Plus I want you to feel AMAZING!

Based on the results of the thousands of women (and super cool dudes) AND my own experience, here’s what you can expect:

all-day energy that starts the moment you wake up and doesn’t quit
the best sleep of your life: deep, blissful, uninterrupted rest the whole night long
clothes that look – and feel – better on you than they have done in years
a 4-10 pound weight loss (on average); could be more depending on your specific body and lifestyle
a happier gut: bloating and bowel problems become a thing of the past
no more cravings: the longing for sugar, caffeine and all the other nasties disappears
a clearer mind: that frustrating brain fog melts away, and you can finally focus again
increased sex drive (oh yeah!)
a radiant, natural beauty emerges: you’re suddenly awash in compliments about your clear, dewy skin; bright sparkling eyes; and soft, shiny hair
better immunity: getting rid of the toxins takes a load off your immune system, so you’re less likely to catch any of the bugs going around
renewed confidence in yourself: you can’t even remember when you last felt this sexy, vibrant and alive

AND being a part of something bigger than just recipes… a movement where we stand up for our health and truly tap into our bodies wisdom so that our loved ones can join us and be healthy too.
