The Ultimate January Reset

83% of women wished they had a better diet, with 57% claiming ‘time’ was the main barrier. On a mission to provide a solution to this, the Detox Kitchen has launched the Ultimate Reset to kickstart 2024 and put you in good stead for the rest of the year. Demystifying the negative speculation around the phrase ‘detox’, Detox Kitchen are redefining the word to set it apart from quick fixes and fad-driven diets, and back to what it really defines; aligning with the natural process of detoxification, by focusing not on elimination but on nourishment, through foods that support the body, rather than work against it. The 20-day reset plan includes three healthy, nutritionally balanced meals per day along with 2 snacks, an organic, cold-pressed juice and a health shot, plus a complimentary gift bag worth £400 to spark your holistic health experience. Aimed to restore balance and steer clear of fluctuating eating patterns, the Detox Kitchen will set you on the right path for a healthy 2024.
