The Colorado Cleanse is a 2-week, at-home Ayurvedic digestive detox and lymph cleanse program.

During the GROUP Colorado Cleanse, you will be cleansing together with a community of hundreds of people around the world. John Douillard provides step-by-step guidance via live Q&A calls, video lectures, daily emails with tips and inspiration, and an entire online private hub with tons of resources for a smooth, enjoyable and thorough cleansing experience.

You will also connect with your fellow cleansers on a private online forum, receive support and guidance from experienced cleansers and staff moderators, as well as have a platform to share your own unique experience.

First-time and repeat cleansers can all benefit from the encouragement and motivation that the education and support package offers.

The Colorado Cleanse can be done while working and leading your regular lifestyle.

What does the Colorado Cleanse involve?

During the 2-week Colorado Cleanse, you will do a daily practice of yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises, 12 minutes of aerobic exercise, take Ayurvedic herbal formulas that support the detox process, and eat a special diet. There are 3 phases of the cleanse:

To prep your body to flush deep-set toxins from their storage sites, we first make sure that your detox channels are functional by following an allergen-free, whole foods diet, eating 3 specific foods each day, and taking the specified herbal formulas. This phase focuses on:

Balancing the blood sugar and restoring the intestinal mucosal barrier.
De-stagnating the lymphatic system.
De-congesting the liver, thinning the bile, and preparing to detox.

During this phase, you’ll eat a simplified diet of non-fat kitchari — a nourishing rice and bean dish prepared in a way to help re-boot your digestion. There are 3 meal options to choose from. You’ll also be drinking increasing amounts of ghee each morning, performing the ancient Ayurvedic process of oleation. Special self-inquiry exercises are employed in this phase to help bring to the surface and release old emotions, patterns and behaviors that store in the fat cells. Phase 2 is closed with a gentle laxative therapy on the evening of day 11. This phase focuses on:

Resetting fat metabolism.
Flushing the liver and detoxing fat-soluble chemicals, pesticides, and preservatives.
Recognizing and releasing destructive emotions, patterns, and behaviors.

After Phase 2, you will return to the Phase 1 diet and add in a protocol that will reset your digestion and boost your digestive fire.

Reset Digestive Strength: After the cleanse, reset your upper digestive strength, the lack of which is the most common cause of digestive issues.

A long-term well-being plan is provided during this post-cleanse phase.

5 Video lectures, 1 for each Phase of the Cleanse

During the cleanse, you will have access to an online hub where you can watch 5 different 15-20 minute video lectures where I discuss why each phase is important, how to prepare for it, protocols, and how to prevent any potential speed bumps. The video lectures are pre-recorded and you can watch them at your convenience:
