8 Ways to Help Cleanse America

8 Ways to help CLEANSE America become a movement to help transform the nation and beyond.....

1. Ask a coworker, friend, class, church group or your child to join you in this cleanse. It is easier and much more fun to have a partner(s) with whom to to share the experience!

2. Share any videos we put up and make one (or more) of your own. Have fun with the process!

3. Ask your uncle who runs ABC to run a news story about CLEANSE America. Just kidding....and just sayin' : )

4. Set up a raw potluck in your town and invite guests. Share food, laughter and then ask them if they would like to better their health in just 10 short days.

5. Same idea as above but do a movie marathon night screening Forks over Knives, Average Joe on the Raw and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.

6. Print up our flyer (available on our website) and post in places you feel led to.....

7. Follow us on Facebook and on Twitter and share a status update telling your friends to check us out. Also go to www.cleanseamerica.com and subscribe to our mailing list.

8. Write a song, poem or take a beautiful picture that we can share and that will help to inspire people.

Giving Away $150 in Rockin' Wellness in the next 24 Hours!

Last week I announced the new release of :

Rockin' Wellness - Recipes to Improve Your Focus.Energy.Mood

Rockin' Wellness was created by two music-loving, health-minded individuals who agree that optimal health and function are the true keys, to not only survive, but to also thrive in any walk of life.

Co-owner, Seth Luker, a music tour manager, has fought off stage IV cancer twice and his business partner, Mike Wall, a musician and self-taught health guru who continues to battle an adult form of muscular dystrophy, know how important it is to maintain peak performance while on the go. Rockin’ Wellness was created from the heart by these two men who have been on an extreme journey of healing.

Seth & Mike have researched and sought out the best ingredients that the world has to offer and through much trial and error, developed this amazing and energizing drink. So, whether someone is traveling for a living, working a 9 to 5 desk job or is a busy mom or college student, Rockin' Wellness makes it effortless to enjoy a delicious mix of raw cacao, goji berries, chia seeds, hulled hemp seeds, yerba mate, maca root and more. Rockin’ Wellness is a great tasting, easy-to-make shake mix that aids in weight maintenance and provides a healthy probiotic blend focusing on pure plant based nutrition.

Rockin' Wellness - Recipes to Improve Your Focus.Energy.Mood was created by Cleanse America founder Paul Risse and yours truly. The recipes were designed to help support, invigorate and heal your body, while enticing and satisfying your palate. So, not only is Rockin’ Wellness an incredible addition to your morning or post-workout shake – it is also ideal when used as a foundational addition to the recipes you eat and enjoy for life!
