About Detox

Our weight loss program entails a purification/detoxification program. The foundation of our 21-day purification program includes eating whole, organic, and unprocessed foods; taking whole food supplements; and drinking plenty of water. You will eat vegetables and fruit from days 1-10, with select proteins added at day 11. It's simple, yet clinically effective.

During the program past patients have lost anywhere from 5-30 lbs in 21 days, with the average weight loss being about 10 lbs per person.†

We have recently begun performing pre and post laboratory testing, and are dropping high cholesterol 50-90 points and blood pressure an average of 10 points in 3 weeks.†

Why Do I Need to Purify?

Purification, also known as detoxification, can help you remove natural toxins from your body and help maintain a healthy weight. We are exposed to external toxins everyday, including pollutants, pesticides, and chemicals. Internally our bodies produce waste byproducts as a result of normal metabolic function. Although your body is designed to rid itself of these toxins naturally, it can become overburdened. Purification offers your body additional support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight, which is important to maintaining your health and vitality.
Toxins can contribute to a wide range of conditions:
  • Stuffy head
  • Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
  • Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems
  • Food cravings and weight gain
  • Reduced mental clarity
  • Low libido



What are the Benefits of Purification?

A purification program can have a significant, positive effect on the biochemistry of the body while allowing natural toxins and byproducts of daily metabolism to be eliminated. By participating in a purification program, you may notice the following:

  • Improved weight
  • Increased energy
  • Better digestion
  • Less bloating
  • Better skin and nails

How is purification different than any other diet?


The Standard Process Purification Program is not a diet. It is a program that helps you live a healthier life by purifying, nourishing, and maintaining a healthy body and weight.
Our purification program emphasizes supplements and whole foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, while limiting high-calorie, refined foods and saturated fats. Nourishing yourself with nutrient-rich foods will provide the complex combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are needed to protect the body and promote optimal health.†



Frequently Asked Questions

Will this purification program help me lose weight?

You can achieve weight loss by eliminating high-calorie, refined, nutrient-poor foods. The dietary component of the purification program is designed to be a nutrient-dense diet with the added benefit of utilizing whole foods and whole food supplements to support detoxification. The ideal weight management system is not a quick fix–instead it is a long-term commitment. You will need to make lifestyle changes that will continue long after the purification process has been completed. By following the Standard Process Purification Program recommended by your health care professional, you will be working toward sustained, long-term weight management.


Is exercise necessary? How much and what type is recommended?

Exercise facilitates the removal of toxins and it helps you manage a healthy weight. It is recommended that you walk at least 30-45 minutes at least four days per week. Strenuous exercise should be put on hold during the three-week period.


How do I stick to the program when eating away from home?

Here are some tips to help you stay on track:

  • Plan your strategy before you leave home.
  • When choosing a restaurant, select one which serves foods that are on the recommended list. This will curb temptation.
  • When traveling, pack a cooler of foods, including fresh fruit and sliced raw vegetables–and don't forget the water bottles.
  • When attending a social gathering, bring a dish to pass that you know would be acceptable, like a fruit/veggie tray or chicken kabobs.
  • For added convenience, SP Complete and Whey Pro Complete are available in single-serving packets.
What physical changes will I experience during purification?

Two of the main effects will be an increase in urination and bowel movements. This is a natural effect of purifying and should not interfere with your daily activities. In rare cases, you may experience a throbbing sensation in the head, generalized aches, itchy skin, rashes, or fatigue. These are normal occurrences and will subside in a day or two.
