Andrew Lande-Shannon wears many hats, one of which includes an equestrian helmet. As the Director of Store Experience at Madison Reed in San Francisco, the Bay Area local is a busy family man with a husband, toddler son, dog and horse named Charlie, [who they ride regularly in the stables of Marin before work]. "I have a two-year-old, so I need as much energy as possible for both of us— to be in the best shape possible and not to be sluggish."
A self-proclaimed casual cleanser, Andrew was in search of something deeply healthful but convenient. He was seeking transformation but without the stress of DIY. Perhaps most importantly, he didn’t want to, as he calls it “go insane from starvation.” Enter, Sakara Level II: Detox – five days of an elimination diet cleanse, but with whole food, medical-grade supplements, gut-healing kefir, detoxifying medicinal broth, dry-brushing, and health coach love + encouragement along the way.
See below for Andrew’s daily report, his physical and mental takeaways, and his overall review of the Level II: Detox.
DAY 1 (Wednesday)
How I’m feeling, physically: My energy level in the day was OK, but by Wednesday night I was feeling pretty tired and had low energy.
How I’m feeling, mentally: I was more emotional than normal, so I kept to myself and listened to meditation music at work. I made a point to meditate this morning on my first day and balance my mind.
DAY 1 Takeaways
DAY 2 (Thursday)
How I’m feeling, physically: Woke with a good amount of energy but towards the end of the day I was feeling hungry and very tired when I was home.
How I’m feeling, mentally: Meditation really helps, as I still feel very emotional.
DAY 2 TAKEAWAYS:
DAY 3 (Friday)
How I’m feeling, physically: I woke up with a good amount of energy, had a very peaceful sleep, and deep dreams. Feeling good in my body. My stomach feels light. I’ve lost the blotting on my face and it feels tighter and my skin looks really clear.
How I’m feeling, mentally: Not as emotional as the last few days, and feeling more balanced.
DAY 3 Takeaways:
DAY 4 (Saturday)
How do I’m feeling, physically: Woke with a lot of energy, had a solid night sleep.
How I’m feeling, mentally: Feeling sharp and focused. My emotional balance is back to normal.
DAY 4 Takeaways:
DAY 5 (Sunday)
How do I’m feeling, physically: I had SO much energy, I was like a rocket ship. I experienced incredible clarity, too. My husband commented on my skin, and from a vanity point, my stomach was flatter. I can’t wait to get back to yoga.
How I’m feeling, mentally: I feel SO good, and ready to shake things up!
DAY 5 Takeaways:
Final Thoughts:
"I've done juice cleanses and they have been way harder. Sakara's detox program is life-changing. It's gentle and you feel taken care of, as if somebody's watching and guiding you. Doing Level II feels like a gift to yourself, and there are no judgments to what the outcome can be."
