“Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food."
~ Hippocrates

feel better fast
Whether you’re trying to lose some pounds, were just diagnosed with major disease or are battling a current minor health condition you can’t seem to shake, or just feel like you’re losing steam, it’s time to FEEL BETTER AND FAST!
That’s right, one of the best things we can do for our health is give our bodies a break from all the intox (eating) and regenerate our cells instead with DETOX!
And we know, everybody claims to be a detox or fasting expert these days, right? WRONG! Fasting is serious business and isn’t something you should take on without proper guidance. It’s nothing to be afraid of, remember the human body can go 90 days without food, just why go to all this trouble if you’re not doing it the right way. And yes, you can mess up our body if you don’t give it the proper support it needs while fasting.
Click here for more details on Andrea.
Look no further, nutritionist and nationally acclaimed raw food expert and owner of Regeneration Raw and Heal Yourself Institute, Andrea McNinch, along with the Cacao Tree Café are hosting a series of 7 day guided fasts to get your mind, body and spirit back into balance. What’s 7 days of the rest of your life?! And for those not ready to take the plunge, see the very bottom of this page for our mini fasts!
price?
Are you ready for this? It's only $75 for the entire program! Andrea create it this way to open this healing experience up to all incomes in these economically unsure times. And for those how want to make an even greater investment in their health, and have the means to do so, there are additional add-ons available. These are listed below.

can't make the meetings?
No sweat. You can do this from anywhere in the world (as long as you have access to a juicer and fresh produce).
Both the in-person group orientation and support meeting will offer a call-in option. Participants will be able to call-in using a free conference call line and participate live that way! These will also be filmed and can be accessed by those unable to make the meetings or live calls due to time zones or other commitments.
And remember, there is 24-hour group support available on the private Facebook group page.
For more questions on doing the fast remotely, please email or call us for more info: 248.470.4290
can't make the calls?
No sweat. The group calls will be recorded and we will post how to access these calls in the private Facebook Group page. This way you can listen at your leisure and follow-up any questions you may have on the FB group page with your fellow fasters who were on the call.
what do I need?
All you need is trust in your bodies infinite ability to heal, an open-mind and a juicer (and really not even a juicer)!
If you don't have a juicer there's an option to buy fresh juice from the Cacao Tree Cafe for the entire fast (details and pricing below)! YAY!!
And if you can't afford the add-on of fresh juice, we suggest rounding up some of your gang and purchase a juicer together! Shared juicing is the BEST juicing! Though not ideal, if you own a high-speed blender such as a Vita-mix, you can always grind up your greens with water and then strain through a nutmilk bag.
We will go over the different types of juices in orientation. However, if you are looking for a juicer to buy before orientation and are enrolled in the program, please call the mainline and we will be happy to go over this with you. However, if you are not on the roster, we will not be able to take your call.
refunds?
There aren't any. There is limited space and if you sign-up then don't participate, this isn't fair to the person who couldn't get in or to us! If there is an emergency and you aren't able to make the program, please let us know the situation and we will work with you if we are able too. Again, this is done on a case-by-case basis only and we are not obligated under any circumstance to refund your money if we don't feel it is warranted. One more time just so we're crystal clear: NO REFUNDS!
facebook private group page?
You will gain access to this the day after orientation. Please know we will not offer ANY computer assistance, if you are not on Facebook or do not have a computer, we are not responsible for relaying the information on this page to any participants or to teach you how to use Facebook.
This is a tool used mainly for faster's to support each other while going through this process, and a place for us to reach groups of people faster than email could. Do not expect communication with Andrea on a regular basis through this page. We will not be able to respond to all requests, but will be constantly monitoring all conversations. If you have questions or need immediate assistance during the fast, we suggest you call the mainline and set-up a paid telephone consultation with her.
enrolled. now what?
First, get super excited you chose to invest in YOU! Health is our greatest wealth!!
confirmation letter
Secondly, be sure to check your email for your confirmation letter which will arrive within 48 hours of enrollment. If you do not use email, you will not receive a confirmation letter. This will rundown the events one more time in detail and you will get the exact address of Heal Yourself Institute and call-in numbers. It is currently open by appointment only.
it's a date + facebook
Next, we suggest marking all the dates of the meetings and calls on your calendar right now and also figuring out how to use Facebook if you are new.
manual
You will receive a PDF of the manual the morning before orientation. This way you can skim over it enough, but not so much that you get too much in your head before hearing the facts! We suggest you bring a hard copy with you to orientation to take notes. No recording is allowed.take it easy
We also suggest you take it as easy as possible during these 7 days. Make it a point to keep this week light. Be ready to give your body lots of rest to heal and regenerate! Do not expect to workout, be super mom or dad, or even walk the dog! So be sure to have appropriate back-up plans in place to help out with the kids, pets, etc. as needed. If you have any vacation time, we suggest you consider using it during the fast. Even if just on day 3. This is usually the turning point for most, when you know you can do it and your energy seems to miraculously return! We will talk more about this in orientation.
add-ons
If you are unsure about the add-ons, call our mainline and we can answer any questions you may have. Also, we will go over everything in orientation and you'll still have a chance to purchase the add-ons before the fast starts. However, we want to stress there are limited bundles for each fast and cannot guarantee you can get one if without preordering. Again, to guarantee your bundle, you must preorder.
1) Bundle: the evening of orientation
2) Juice: you will get a document sent via email that you will need to email or give the cafe before each pick-up
3) Support w/Andrea: You will receive an email explaining how to setup your personal consults
Additional Support

For more info on fasting bundles: please call our mainline at 248.470.4290. We are happy to go over how these support the body and aids in the detox process during fasting. However, we will only take the time out for this call if you are already enrolled in the program - if you are not on the roster, we will not answer your questions. We will also go over these in detail during orientation; explicit instructions are in included in your manuals. At this time we do not ship any international bundle orders or schedule any one-one-calls with Andrea for this program.
how do I get my bundle?
If you're local, kits are distributed during orientation. If you're an out-of-towner it will arrive in the mail 2-3 days after your programs orientation date. There are limited kits. Those who preorder get first dibs. Please note there will be an additional shipping & handling charge for out-of-towner's.
For preordering bundles, you must have placed your order by the following dates:
October fast - since this was a last minute add-on, some kits will be available to pickup during orientation and others will have to be picked up all day Friday, October 21. Please call to schedule your pick-up time; there will also be a reminder to do this in your confirmation letter.
November fast - We stop taking preorders on Monday, November 7.
January fast - We stop taking preorders on Monday, December 19.
Juice!
If you would like to make your life a little easier during your fast, have us make it for you! We, of course, only use organic produce and every batch of juice is specially made by hand with a masticating juicer, and not the centrifugal juicer used for the high volume juices that pour out of the cafe. This ensures a quality juice loaded nutrients!
how long does juice last?
As soon as you pick living food from the ground it starts losing nutrients. So unless you pick something from your backyard and instantly eat it, you really can't count on ALL nutrients staying in your food.
However, there are some things we do to ensure we aren't speeding up the nutrient-loss:
1) Use a masticating juicer
2) Use local, organic produce
3) Store juice in a glass jars
4) Put lots of love into the juicing process
5) Play happy music while juicing
6) Be sure to clear yourself of negative thoughts before juicing
price?
For a 7-day supply it's only $199! You will receive x4 16-ounce juices per day for this particular fast. Each juice will include the base juice + one additional green of your choice. We are also gifting you with your choice of FREE carrot or beet juice to be used as a "condiment" as needed in your juice (we will get into more detail on the actual juice in orientation).
You will be able to add a few extra add-ins for an additional charge of $2. If you feel you need more juice while fasting than the program offers, each additional 16-ounce juice is $7.
Juice will last for 3 days and you'll receive a discount if you bring in your own container for each pickup.

feel better fast - in a minute, that is!
Are you thinking you're not ready for full-on 7 days and maybe want to get your feet wet before you swim? Or you just feel like a walking sausage from all the holiday gluttony and want some quick relief!
We've got just the solution. We are also offering 3-day mini fasts! That's right, the good ol' American way, less commitment with fast results.
The November fast is just before Turkey day so you can squeeze into that , make room for the biggest feast of the year, and the December fast will help you squeeze into that little black dress for your holiday work or Country Club party. And alas! This finally gives some of the non-Christians something to do during the month of December!
