I just finished the The Ultimate Reset, a 21 day detox/cleanse, and I’ve been getting a lot of questions about it, so I thought I’d address those here and share with you how my experience went.

But, after realizing that I had hit a plateau in my fitness and nutrition journey, and was seeing that life had thrown me some curve balls and stress was dominating my life, I knew I needed to do something different to get back in balance.

Southwestern Veggie Taco from the Ultimate Reset (1 serving) I discovered the super easy recipe while doing the Ultimate Reset and it became one of my favorites.
