The Foundation of Life Retreat is meticulously designed to offer a profound detoxification and rejuvenation experience centered around deep intracellular living nutrition. The unique protocol aims to flood your body with massive amounts of living nutrients, facilitating a complete transformation of your cells and digestive system.
Days 1-5: Deep Intracellular Liquid Nutrition
The daily protocol is structured to maximize detoxification and nutrient absorption, progressing from a liquid-only phase to a gradual reintroduction of whole foods:
The initial five days of the retreat are dedicated to a comprehensive liquid-only nutritional program. This phase is crucial for initiating the deep cleansing and detoxification processes, ensuring your body receives highly bioavailable nutrients without the digestive burden of solid foods.
Cold-Pressed Juices: You will receive nine freshly prepared cold-pressed juices daily, prepared on-site. The ingredients for these juices are harvested the day before the retreat from local organic farms, ensuring peak freshness and nutrient content. These juices provide a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes essential for cellular repair and detoxification.
A cornerstone of our program is the daily intake of 6-8 ounces of fresh Raw Living Spirulina. This “ultimate superfood” is delivered directly from our Florida farm, ensuring unparalleled freshness and potency. Unlike powdered or processed forms, fresh Raw Living Spirulina retains 100% of its bioavailability, meaning your body can easily absorb and utilize its rich nutrient profile. It is a complete plant-based protein comprising 71% phycocyanin, which contains all nine essential amino acids vital for cellular building blocks. It is an excellent source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A as needed, along with delicate enzymes like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and a host of phytonutrients, vitamins (C, E, K), minerals (iron, magnesium), and antioxidants. Its creamy texture and mild taste make it enjoyable to consume, either directly or mixed with other liquids.
Fresh Florida Coconut Water: To maintain optimal hydration and electrolyte balance during the liquid fast, you will be provided with fresh, raw, living Florida coconut water directly from the coconut, which is opened on-site daily. Coconut water is naturally rich in electrolytes, such as potassium, which are crucial for cellular function and maintaining fluid balance, especially during a detoxification process.
Raw Living Aloe: Raw aloe vera is also incorporated into the daily liquid regimen. Known for its soothing and healing properties, aloe vera can support digestive health and enhance the detoxification process.
Additional Hydration: In addition to the specific juices, ample fresh, locally collected mountain spring water will be available to ensure continuous hydration, which is vital for flushing toxins from the body. Probiotic shots are also included to support gut health and help rebalance the digestive system.
Breaking the Liquid Fast and Gradually Reintroducing Foods on Day 6 marks a significant transition as we gently reintroduce carefully selected Hippocrates foods to support your newly cleansed system and continue the journey of rejuvenation.
Early Am – Exotic Tropical Fruits: you will enjoy a selection of exotic tropical fruits flown in fresh from Miami the day before. These fruits provide natural sugars, fiber, and a burst of vitamins and antioxidants, offering a gentle reintroduction to solid food.
Fresh Coconut Yogurt: Complementing the fruits, fresh coconut yogurt will be made on-site using the meat from the coconuts opened during the week. This provides healthy fats and beneficial probiotics, further supporting digestive health and nutrient absorption.
Plant-Based Hippocrates Style Buffet: For lunch and dinner on Day 6, you will experience an extensive buffet of Plant-Based Hippocrates style food, expertly prepared by our chef, Georgiana. The Hippocrates diet emphasizes raw, living, organic plant-based foods, focusing on nutrient density and enzymatic activity to support healing and vitality. This approach ensures that your body continues to receive optimal nutrition as you transition back to a more varied diet.
We look forward to welcoming you to this transformative adventure!
