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!

The day Regeneration Raw’s owner, Andrea McNinch realized “Food is our best medicine” was the day that changed her life.

“I was falling apart at the age of 25,” says RR’s owner. “I started suffering from migraines, was constantly battling the flu or a cold, my face was always breaking out, cysts and calcifications were taking over my body, I was tired all the time and started feeling super depressed.

Of course I went to the doctor, but he attributed my ‘falling apart’ as part of getting older—you know, like these ‘common ailments’ are part of life, and wrote a prescription for every symptom”, says Andrea.

After diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, IBS, Fibrocystic Breasts, Aural Migraines, mitral annular calcification (calcified heart valve), and learned she was functioning with the DHEA levels of a 75-year-old woman, Andrea didn’t want to live her life on prescription drugs and decided it was time to take charge of her health!

And that’s just what she did by simply changing and adding a few raw staples to her diet. “It was almost an instant recovery,” Andrea says. “As soon as I cut out dairy and started eating raw foods, I never had another migraine and there are no cysts or calcifications in my body! The best part is, I look and feel younger every day, zits, illness, PMS and lack of energy are a thing of the past!”

bio.

Andrea McNinch, a graduate of Schoolcraft College’s world-renowned Culinary Arts Program—deemed one of the finest in the nation—fused her passion for food with her desire to write and went on to receive her undergrad in both journalism and communication.

Honoring her dharma, McNinch strategically morphed from her successful, fast-paced life in the magazine publishing world—having worked as an editor, freelance journalist and national food stylist—to a culinary arts educator, nutritionist and owner of Regeneration Raw. Specializing in raw-vegan foods, her due diligence and belief that “food is our best medicine” has led to work in world renowned raw restaurants such as Pure Food and Wine in NYC. What truly sets her apart from the rest of the pack, besides her mainstream approach to raw, is her knowledge. She’s currently pursuing a master’s in live/vegan food nutrition (the only program of its kind in the world), received her Live-Food Teacher certification from the world’s foremost nutritional pioneer, Gabriel Cousens. M.D., is in the process of obtaining a C.N.C and FDN certification, is certified in Applied Microscope Technology and is a Quantum Reflex Analysis practitioner.

She also spent time with leading raw expert David Wolfe as part of her master’s program and took his Raw Nutrition Certification Program. She recently hosted a 4-day health & wellness event featuring Wolfe that drew in world publicity and participants spanning the country. Almost 2 years ago she started the first Raw Food Certification Program of this educational magnitude to hit the raw scene and it has since swept the nation. McNinch now travels the country certifying raw food educators and her clients span the globe.

Andrea has made appearances on ABC, Fox, radio talk shows, has taught out of Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, The Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC, Madonna University and Whole Foods Market (to name a few). She was featured as a guest speaker at the American Medical Autism Board Conference and spoke at a vegan conference headlining Rory Freedman, author of Skinny Bitch, and John Salley, the former NBA star turned vegan advocate. Andrea has been featured in and also is contributing writer for numerous publications and blogs that range from 944 Magazine to The Pink Fund on health & wellness. She is in the process of opening a wellness educational center called: Heal Yourself Institute where people from all over the world will come and learn tools to get healthy and stay healthy!

*Details given during orientation

juice me!

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:

Use a masticating juicer
Use local, organic produce
Store juice in a glass jars
Put lots of love into the juicing process
Play happy music while juicing
Be sure to clear yourself of negative thoughts before juicing

price?

For a 7-day supply it's only $249! 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.

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!!

manual

You will receive your manual the night of orientation. This is so you don't get too much in your head before hearing the facts! No recording is allowed.

confirmation letter

Secondly, be sure to check your email for your confirmation letter. 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. 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
