You will be supported with our proven group success!

The 28-Day JumpStart is a life changing way to achieve a clean slate through a revolutionary nutrition program. While eating whole foods and practicing principles of detoxification, the mind and body are renewed and vitality returns. In addition to teaching about whole foods and hormonally balanced eating, we also incorporate optional supplements from Designs for Health and other companies which simplify and amplify the program. The 28-Day JumpStart is not affiliated with or endorsed by any specific retailer of products. Use of nutritional products is optional and not required to get benefits from the program.

The program utilizes supplements without soy protein, dairy, or gluten. We suggest specific Protein shakes, Fiber supplements, healthy Energy Drinks, Healthy Chews, Tea and a 7-Day Full Body Detox. We recommend Design for Health's PaleoCleanse, PaleoGreens, and Detox Support Packets. All supplementation is optional.

Recommendations for the specific products that amplify the program are made at the time of registration. Designs for Health supplements are purchased through our office or after the first class. During the first class, shopping lists are given for various commercially available foods and products used during the program and where they can be purchased.

Participants report achieving significant weight loss (6 - 12 pounds on average for women; 8 - 25 pounds for men depending on their starting weight), body composition changes (for example, "I now fit into shorts from years ago"), energy and mood lifts, and relief from various aches and pains (headaches, painful joints, etc.). Please see the back page for comments from our participants and FAQs. Each class has 4 sessions and new classes form monthly.

What is detoxification?
Detoxification is a natural and normal purification process that our bodies continuously use to get rid of substances that can be harmful to our health.

Who needs detoxification?
Everybody can benefit from the ongoing support for the clean up of toxins because exposure to them is unavoidable. A clinically supervised purification process will positively affect your health and ultimately improve your physical and mental well-being. It is very important for you to have additional detoxification support if you are on a weight loss program. The toxins that have been stored in fat tissue for years are liberated into the circulation during fat loss and with the 28 Day Program are eliminated from your body in a safe manner.

What happens if we do not detoxify properly?
All the environmental toxins, or the ones produced inside our bodies that are improperly eliminated and linger inside the cells or intestinal tract too long, can accumulate to create a toxic burden. Harmful health consequences that can result include:

• can impair energy and metabolism causing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog and make fat loss difficult (weight loss resistance).
• can increase the risk of many types of cancer (colon, lung, liver, and bladder)
• may cause immune system impairment, autoimmune disease, brain degeneration, or impaired memory

Potentially dangerous detoxification programs to avoid:

1. Fasting: This makes you lose lean muscle which slows down your metabolism, making it very difficult to lose weight in the future.
2. Juicing: This puts your blood sugar on a roller coaster, and much like fasting you do not get the necessary protein to support your lean body mass. You are likely to lose hair, and get saggy skin from protein deficiency.
3. Rapid Detox: IV Chelation and Colonics can fall into this category. These can be extremely stressful to your body and if you have a high toxic burden they could make you feel worse.

What is a safe and effective detoxification?
A safe and effective detoxification program incorporates a nutrition and lifestyle program that reduces the toxic burden from food, beverages and lifestyle practices. The program ideally also incorporates amino acids, B-vitamins, and foods / supplements that support the liver, gall bladder, colon, and kidneys. The 28- Day Program incorporates the coaching to get participants through their lifestyle changes along with the directions for amplifying a detox and weight loss program safely. Your body will discover new found energy and vitality as a result of going through our clinically supervised detoxification program.

PAUL'S TESTIMONIAL ON THE 28 DAY WEIGHT LOSS JUMPSTART

I am writing this testimonial to compliment and promote a great program. I was 255 Lbs. in September 2009. I had gone to my 35th high school reunion and my pictures had come back and I wasn’t too flattered. I also play USTA tennis and my game was pretty good, but I was having numerous injuries keeping me from participation. I decided I needed to lose weight and get in better shape. First, I decided to join Hercules Fitness Club and start taking some of their classes like cycling, and X-Fit.

I had been spinning about 3 times a week which is a great cardio workout, worked on weight machines twice a week, and X-fit one or two times a week. I was losing some weight, but I need to lose more and I still had my nagging injuries. On a whim I decided to take the 28 Day Weight Loss Program run by Elizabeth Parson and what a great decision that turned out to be. I found out a lot of good information about nutrition (hormonally balanced meals), detoxification and cleansing. However, I must admit it wasn’t easy giving up bread, rice, coffee and alcoholic beverages. Especially alcoholic beverages! The Arbonne products (Fiber Boost, Protein Powder) recommended and sold in the class are quality products, but they are a little expensive. However, they are now a regular part of my diet, and you do not have to use them to still get benefits from the Class. However, Elizabeth convinced me that I needed to give it a try and I’m I glad I did. After 28 days I went from 248 to 232, and was on my way to reaching my ultimate goal 200 pounds.

Not to get too personal, but I had high blood pressure, type 2 Diabetes and high cholesterol and at a doctor’s appointment in September 2009 and was told I might have to increase my medication. I asked the doctor to give me 90 days and check me again. Three weeks after the weight loss class (early December) I went in for testing and just to summarize the results; I had a great cholesterol reading (130), haven’t had a high blood pressure reading since October, my A1C diabetes test had gone from 7.0 to 6.1, and the doctor has started to talk to me about reducing medications.

In January 2010 I took my second 28 day weight loss class. This time armed with the knowledge from the first class and a little more discipline I went from 236 pounds to 216 pounds. Currently, I am 217, but my goal is to get to 215 by March 15 and win the biggest loser contest. I also signed up for the April 5 class to get to 200 pounds by my birthday May 5. The information I learned in the class, plus regular exercise has helped me lose almost 40 pounds. By the way, my tennis game has been great and my opponents’ old strategy of drop-shoting me is now backfiring as I get to all the shots and make them pay. I highly recommend this program. Even if you don’t have results like mine the information is valuable for living a healthier life.

Sincerely, Paul
(Retired Teacher/Coach)
