From New York Times Best Selling Author Kathy Freston, an Essential Guide to Achieving Quantum Wellness
Forewords by Dean Ornish, M.D. and Marianne Williamson

Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr.Mehmet Oz, Dr. Dean Ornish and many others have praised New York Times bestselling author and conscious living expert Kathy Freston’s 2008 bestseller, Quantum Wellness. Now, for those who want to know exactly how to experience the ultimate transformation in their health and well-being, Kathy has written a companion book —THE QUANTUM WELLNESS CLEANSE: The 21-Day Essential Guide to Healing Your Body, Mind, and Spirit (Weinstein Books, May 2009; $14.95). THE QUANTUM WELLNESS CLEANSE is an essential guide that gives readers the tools they need and recipes they will love to fully harness the power of the 21-day cleanse first featured in Quantum Wellness. With forewords by world-renowned doctor Dean Ornish, M.D., and personal growth guru Marianne Williamson, THE QUANTUM WELLNESS CLEANSE puts the power of transformation within reach of everyone who reads it.

THE QUANTUM WELLNESS CLEANSE offers Freston’s practical advice on how to eat, how to stay motivated, and 21 days worth of tools on how to cope with the complex feelings that arise when you detox your body. The book contains easy-to-prepare, delicious plant- based gluten-free recipes from renowned chef Tal Ronnen, who has made it his mission to create plant-based food that in addition to being incredibly tasty and nutritious, also boosts energy and enhances well-being.

There are no odd concoctions to drink and no special herbs to take –whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, and nuts are all part of the Quantum Wellness Cleanse. The diet is nutritious, affordable, and can be sustained indefinitely. You will not feel deprived from eating good food. By gradually abstaining from sugar, alcohol, caffeine, gluten, and animal products, Kathy shows readers how to give their bodies a much- needed rest from the stimulants and depressants, the toxins and pollutants, that usually bombard their systems, and often cause sugar highs and sluggishness throughout the day.

The Quantum Wellness Cleanse is not just good for the body, it’s also good for the soul. Readers learn how to eat in a humane and compassionate way that align with their values, and learn how these choices positively affect the environment and animals. Kathy’s philosophy is that if something is good for your physical health, it will also be good for your spiritual health. And she talks frankly about what you eat and how it impacts you — from reducing your carbon footprint to much needed changes in dangerous factory farming practices.

THE QUANTUM WELLNESS CLEANSE teaches us that none of us are truly alone – that the choices we make each day impact everyone and everything else that inhabits this world. And just as we must recognize that our lives are interconnected with all other life on the planet, we must also recognize that our personal mind, body, and spirit health is inextricably linked.

Among the essential information included in this eye-opening guide are chapters on the following:

· The importance of taking a break from alcohol and caffeine, and which tax our systems, and cause spikes in blood sugar and blood pressure, respectively.

· How to use meditation, visualization and journaling to check in with your inner self, and to help you remain conscious of your feelings and awareness as you travel along the detoxification journey.

· The importance of leaning into change—why taking small, manageable steps toward the changes we want to achieve have a more profound effect than trying to radically alter any one behavior.

· How exercise can help us not only to retain strength and flexibility in the body, but also to achieve emotional equilibrium and feelings of well-being.

· How to deal with challenges such as traveling, and eating out – (hint: always keep bags of nuts, energy bars, and packets of protein powders with you), and how to stick to the cleanse, even in the face of peer pressure.

· How healing is multidimensional – it isn’t just a matter of training ourselves to be thoughtful consumers, it’s about reaching back to old emotional wounds and letting life teach us with the experiences that come to pass.

· The benefits of a plant-based diet, including more energy, alleviation of chronic conditions, like arthritis, as well as the knowledge of knowing that you are not contributing to the serious environmental problems that are caused by factory farming, including land degradation, climate change, air pollution, and loss of biodiversity.

· How giving up sugar can lessen your risk of developing sugar-related health problems, such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

· Addressing the real hunger that we all harbor – as we move toward healing, a key component of the process is not only to purify the body, but also to move away from our baser instincts so that we may embody our more divine nature.

· Commonly asked questions (answered by world-renowned doctor and health expert Dr. Neal Barnard)

THE QUANTUM WELLNESS CLEANSE also includes dozens of recipes, a list of where to find products used on the cleanse, and suggestions for easy-to-make quick meals and snacks. So get ready to turn your life around, and create fresh momentum to achieve your highest levels of health and happiness with THE QUANTUM WELLNESS CLEANSE.
