Orange County raised Devyn Elliott is a nutritional therapy practitioner and founder of Seasoned Wellness, providing Nutritional Therapy services via phone or Skype, and creator of the Jumpstart 14 Day Sugar Detox. She is not an advocate for counting calories or endless dieting. “I want my clients to feel empowered and in control of their bodies, food choices, and overall health," Devyn says.
Tomorrow, I will be starting her Jumpstart 14 Day Sugar Detox, which is a real foods based program to help people ditch sugar cravings for good. There are no gimmicks, no associations with other supplement or product lines, and no pills to take. It's just real food for 14 days and the results from former clients include weight loss, reduced joint pain (formerly chronic), improved energy, and cleared skin.
“In just 14 days, you will notice your sugar and carbohydrate cravings subside, and you will learn how much better you function when relying on whole, unprocessed foods for nourishment,” Devyn says.
Devyn is offering a special to our readers for anyone who would like to try the plan, too. If you sign up now through May 10, you’ll receive 20% off. Just enter the code GREEROC. After, May 10, she will offer a 10% discount, so it’s best to sign up soon.
