COMING UP:
Our famous 21-day Holistic Detox program is BACK! Join us 4/20, 4/27, 5/4 and 5/11 in San Francisco for this unique whole foods-based detox workshop. First and last classes in person at my office in North Beach. Classes 2 & 3 are tele-seminars for your convenience. You do not have to be in SF to join!

“Detox” has become a trendy buzzword, but detox (also known as “cleansing”) is a time honored tradition that can help you regain balance, lose weight, sleep better, increase productivity, and gain clarity. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the best time to cleanse, because this is the season when they liver is most active.

How do you know if you need to detox?
Do you suffer from any of the following conditions? PMS, weight gain, heartburn, constipation, gas/bloating, acne, joint pain, skin rashes, high cholesterol, depression or irritability, fatigue, or just generally feeling puffy or inflamed? A congested and overworked liver could be the culprit.

While it’s true that the liver is the body’s own self cleaning device, it can become easily overwhelmed by toxins from our food supply, too much booze, over the counter and recreational drugs, birth control pills, cosmetics and body care products, and pollution.

Everything you eat, drink, breathe and apply to your skin must be detoxed by the liver, and if you take in more toxins than your liver can process, it becomes sluggish, and symptoms result.

What you’ll get from our program:
-2 in person and 2 teleseminar meetings with not one but TWO certified nutrition consultants, Mary Vance & Karen Diggs, who is also a chef.
-a detox kit that includes herbs & nutrients to facilitate liver cleansing; a vegan cleansing smoothie mix; and a fiber blend to enhance colon cleansing. These products are not available over the counter– you must obtain them through a healthcare practitioner.
-a manual detailing guidelines for the 21 day detox plan. The manual includes tons of information, recipes designed by chef Karen and meal plans.
-a before & after body composition analysis
-cooking & snack demos
-access to our private forum so you can ask questions, share tips, and get support 24-7

What to expect:
-weight loss, if that is your goal
-better sleep, more energy, better mental acuity
-clear, glowing skin
-determine hidden food sensitivities that cause health problems
-better digestive function, reduction in constipation

AND you get all this– the 4 sessions, the support, the manual AND the detox kit you’ll need for the 21 days for $397. Sign up here:

Join the Nutrition Divas for an informative tele-seminar addressing hypothyroidism. What are the different types of hypothyroidism? (hint: it’s important to know, because they all need to be treated differently, and chances are, your doctor will prescribe the same drug no matter what is causing your hypothyroidism. This may not relieve symptoms and correct the underlying imbalance!). What are the signs and symptoms? How it is diagnosed? What are the treatment options? What is the one food you must absolutely avoid if you have hypothyroid, and why? We’ll also discuss diet, lifestyle, herb, and supplemental recommendations to help heal the thyroid gland. We’ll answer your questions at the end of the talk, and there will *probably* be at least one special offer ☺

This talk is for you if you have a hypothyroid condition or are experiencing any of the above symptoms; if you have hypothyroid disease in your family; or if you’ve been prescribed a drug for your hypothyroid condition and are still experiencing symptoms like weight gain or difficulty losing weight, infertility, fatigue, brain fog, or anxiety. Join us!

3) Sleep–what is good sleep hygiene, how to address insomnia, supplements to foster better sleep.

My business partner (therapeutic chef Karen Diggs) and I are hosting a talk in downtown San Francisco on May 23rd just for you!

This is the first in a series of free presentations to educate the community about nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle issues that impact our health and wellness.

No fads, no shortcuts. Just real facts and practical advice for weight loss, for real and practical results!

It’s often difficult to know what foods to eat and which to avoid. Eating the wrong types of foods, even those we’ve been told are “healthy,” can lead to weight gain and accelerated stress levels, causing us to feel crappy and age more quickly.

In this talk, Karen & I will address a few of many important topics regarding weight management and correct some common misconceptions that are propagated throughout the food industry. We’ll share our top 3 secrets for weight loss, including how to jump-start a successful weight loss plan and which “health foods” you need to ditch. We’ll even serve a healthy snack! Personal trainer Pete Kinkaid will talk briefly about how exercise complements nutrition.

When: Wednesday, May 23, 7-8:30pm
Where: Body Mastery Strength Training, 735 Montgomery Street, Suite 330
Cost: FREE!
Please email info@maryvancenc.com to register. I’d also be glad to answer any questions you may have. See you there!
