Did you spend the summer downing cute umbrella cocktails and now you’re seriously regretting it?
Are you dying to fit back into your “skinny jeans” before Christmas and the holiday photos (because sweatpants – while forgiving – aren’t exactly cute)?
Do you love fall, but also happen to love pumpkin spice lattes (despite the sugar crash and the inevitable bloating/weight gain/what-have-you)?
Has it been forever since you felt okay in your body, no matter the season?
Tell me: If your health and body had a big fat reset button, would you push it right now without thinking twice?
I hear you.
What happened to loving fall?
Fall is supposed to be for feeling alive. For jumping in leaves. For morning walks with the crisp air. For snuggles with the grandkids, and warm nights by the fire. For pumpkins and stews. For wearing cute sweaters and dresses. For indulging in Thanksgiving dinner without guilt. For loving life.
But if you’re thinking something like:
”I’d rather die than put on a pair of actual pants right now”
or
”The the last time I jumped for joy was decades ago…when I had the energy”
Or maybe
“I’m going to have to skip Thanksgiving this year…I’m already round enough!”
It’s time for a F-A-B Fall Cleanse
What is the Autumn Cleanse with Grace?
The Autumn Cleanse with Grace is a 7-day cleanse + seasonal meal plan designed to detoxify your body by eating the way we were meant to eat: with the seasons.
We think of spring as the archetypal season for cleansing—spring cleaning, spring detox, spring yard sales—but autumn is actually the more appropriate season to think about purging the old. Just like the tall maples, we must shed our leaves and cleanse before the winter. A fall detox cleanse will help to stave off seasonal colds, keep your immune system healthy, and prepare your organs for the colder months ahead. Best of all, the fall cleanse doesn’t require a straight-up fast.
The autumn cleanse is all about the lungs and the large intestine. In both alternative and conventional medicine theory, these organs are linked to skin and breathing problems like asthma, eczema, rashes and dry skin—all of the most common things to ail us in the colder months.
And what about the Grace? This autumn cleanse gives focused attention to mind-body medicine and the impact that your thoughts and energetic patterns have on your physical symptoms. In addition to the food plan, daily lifestyle exercises are included to create transformation in these other areas.
A good fall cleanse is like tuning up your car for the winter. By taking the time to care for your body now, you can enjoy the seasonal changes knowing that your system has been revitalized and prepared for the times ahead.

Your body needs some me time, too!
Remove toxins from the body with fiber-rich foods

Feel Sexy and Satisfied
Help you feel like your sexiest and most satisfied self without “dieting” or other extremes!
Get you back to your natural, healthiest state
by following the natural rhythm of the season
Each day during the cleanse, you’ll fill up on nutritious and delicious foods (think: soups, stews, warming teas and veggies that grow naturally in the fall) that will nourish your body in ways you haven’t experience in months, years or decades so you can live fall AND YOUR LIFE the way it’s meant to be lived.
But just like everything around here, this isn’t about deprivation. (Starvation is SO not sexy.) This is about loving your body and yourself by giving it what it really needs to function fabulously (which turns out, isn’t just pumpkin spice lattes and scones.)
By consuming only the healthiest, freshest in-season product + ingredients, you’ll end each day feeling sexy and satisfied, instead of starved or malnourished.
And? You’ll be able to sashay into the holiday season energized, glowing and confident to don those skinny jeans!
If you’re ready to hit reset and get your body, mind and spirit back on the track to fabulous health, this is for you.
What Other Cleansers Are Saying
Don’t just take it from me, let my clients do the talking!
The discipline of the cleanse has helped me get back on track with my healthy eating habits and it jump-started my weight-loss again. An added benefit I did not expect is that my joints did not hurt. Clearly I am sensitive to something and I can play detective as I put things back into my diet and figure out what I should avoid.
The best part was the reduction of my IBS symptoms that I suffer from most of the time and the fact that my skin was so soft.”
Results from the cleanse included jump starting my weight loss (I lost more than 5 lbs!), having more energy, feeling in control of my cravings, eating healthier and just making changes. Extra bonus: my husband was very supportive and lost weight too!
I lost about 20 lbs in less than 3 months just by cutting out gluten and lowering my intake of sugar. It all started with Dee-Dee’s cleanse. I’d been trying to lose that weight for years, but it kept fluctuating. This time, it has come off and has stayed off for over six months. And, I’ve never felt better!

REGISTER NOWFrequently Asked Questions
What if I can’t participate during the week of the cleanse? Can I purchase the cleanse and do it at my own time?
The answer is YES! You will be able to complete the cleanse whenever it works for you
Will I be starving on this program?
No, darling, you won’t. I believe that there is so much more to life than deprivation. Most participants from previous cleanses said that they were surprised that they didn’t feel hungry. This detox is not about putting you on a calorie restrictive diet. It is about feeding your body delicious, nourishing food that will satiate you. There will be eating and drinking – soups, stews, veggies, herbal teas and smoothies. We simply remove common allergens, foods and liquids that inflame and congest our bodies like gluten, dairy, sugar and caffeine and fill it with nutrient dense foods that support us. This cleanse will give you a chance to step out of ‘fight or flight’ mode and focus on doing essential organ repair work.
Will I have to eat strange foods I’ve never heard before?
Many of the foods will be familiar to you, but I will also introduce you to some new ingredients and recipes that will become favorites of yours even after the detox. You will be able to pick and choose which foods and recipes you want to eat during the detox. You can stick with the foods you know, or you can choose to be a little adventurous and try something new. It’s totally up to you!
Can I do this? I’ve never done a cleanse before.
Yes, you CAN! The cleanse is not designed to be hard on your body, in fact it’s meant to ease the burdens put on our bodies daily and over time.
What side effects will I experience? Will I be running to the bathroom all day long?
The side effects are very personal and individual. Some people might just experience a slight headache and others might have white tongue coating, body odor and a day of feeling cranky and tired. Whatever the effects, think of it as your body’s way to get rid of toxins and a sign that your hard work is paying off. And no, you will not have to worry about running to the bathroom.
How is this cleanse different from the one you offered in the spring?
Spring is the time of releasing and fall is the time of gathering. In the Spring we address the liver and gallbladder, in the Fall we address the large intestines and the lungs. This will mean a Winter with stronger immune system (fewer colds and flus, thank goodness) and a more efficiently running digestive system. In the fall your body needs warm, nourishing fuel. You will learn how you can cleanse, enjoy yummy food and warm and nourish your body up at the same time.
Why do we want to cleanse in the Fall anyway?
Fall is the second best time to cleanse (Spring being the first). Cleansing your system in the fall will help you avoid the feelings of heaviness and fatigue that are associated with wintertime and help you come out ahead of the game in the spring. Cleansing in the fall can help to prevent holiday weight gain and the buildup of toxins that would be released by exercise in the summer months.
Will I have to buy any special or hard to find ingredients?
This is a whole-foods based cleanse. You will be able to buy most ingredients at the farmer’s market or at your grocery store. You might have to make a trip to a local health food store to pick up some super foods like hemp seeds and chia seed. I also make a few recommendations
for supplements (like probiotics, for example) but it is not necessary to purchase them. Don’t worry! I will be supporting you the whole time. We are in this together, darling!
I’m very busy. Will food prep take a lot of my time each day?
If you live by yourself, no. This will not require extra time in the kitchen, if you already cook your meals. If you cook for others – MAYBE. Many of these dishes will be liked by your family, but you might have to make some dishes separate for you. So just be prepared for a little more prep time. You can also do much of the preparation on the weekend. I will give you tips on suggestions how to do that (like prepping some veggies ahead of time and making some meals on the weekend). However, it is recommended that you honor this time as “slow down” days and give yourself the time and space to heal and thrive. You know you deserve it. 🙂
I have to go to work every day. Can I still do this?
Yes, you can. The best way to do this if you work is to make less commitments that week, prepare some food over the weekend, get to bed earlier, and to ask for some help – enlist your spouse, kids, or friends if needed.
Will I need any special equipment?
Having a blender to make smoothies or a juicer is great, but it is not required.
Will I get support from you?
Of course! I will be available to answer all your questions and support you throughout this cleanse via e-mail.
How will I know what to do?
You will receive step-by- step instructions via email where I will walk you through exactly what to do. You will know exactly what to have for each meal throughout the whole week and when you transition out.
Do we meet in person?
No, there’s no need. All materials will be sent to you via email. You will receive support via daily inspirational emails in the comfort of your home. Pull up a glass of vino and relax with a little love and tenderness each day.
What makes this cleanse different?
In addition to the food plan and lots of love and support from me, you will receive daily lifestyle exercises to create transformation in these other areas. (Everyone loves these! All of my past cleanse participants rave about these self-care practices and continue to incorporate them into their lives after the cleanse and reap the positive benefits.)
Will I lose weight?
People often lose weight following a protocol like this. Although everyone is different and nothing can be guaranteed. Sometimes there are more complex issues that may need some personalized attention. However, you will look better, have more energy and as you go through the program your skin will be clearer. Isn’t that worth something too? Remember, excess weight is waste. Once you get rid of some of the waste the weight will start to go with it.
What kind of results did past cleanse participants see?
Great question! They experienced:
increased energy
flatter belly
improved digestion
decreased inflammation
better moods
glowing skin
clear thinking
less congestion
relief from aches and pains
no longer dependent on coffee and sugar
a new style of eating
releasing excess weight (4-8 lbs on average)
and more zest for life … to mention a few.
I am afraid I will not be able to commit or follow the plan 100%. Should I still enroll?
Of course the more you put in it, the better results you’ll get. BUT, I can promise even doing 50% of this cleanse will leave you with more energy, empowerment and serve as a wonderful jump-start to healthier eating habits.
Have questions of your own, I’m so confident in this program and happy to answer any of your concerns. I’m here for you!
