Participating in Chris Detox is one of the most amazing things I have ever done for myself. I had really fallen out of my good eating habits over the holidays and succumbed to the winter blues in January. This detox helped me to re-examine myself and my nutrition in a holistic way such that I felt empowered to set and achieve significant goals in just two weeks time. Physically, I have never felt better. I am already off two of my OTC medications that I was taking almost every day. I feel strong and ready to continue on this journey of wellness. I could have done it without the support of Chris DeHollander and my fellow detoxers. I am so grateful for this positive, life-changing experience. I highly recommend this program to anyone who desires to live a healthier life.

I had the great privilege to be a part of Chris’ detox and 28-day program at the end of 2013. I, first, want to share that I have been a huge supporter of what Chris does even before she really ever started her own business. She has a huge heart for helping people learn what fuels their body well, and I am glad she now has a platform to impact many! After actually experiencing some of her programs for myself, I am more convinced than ever about what she does. To me, eating has a lot to do with mental patterns about food as much as the food we put in our mouths. I found that the approach Chris takes (bio-individuality) along with her coaching style helped me make big strides in my thinking. Changing my thinking means that I can continue to change my eating patterns because I am equipped to learn what my body needs to function well instead of thinking about what I can’t have because it is “bad” for me. That makes eating well as a lifestyle possible. When you take the plunge to detox or maybe do some individual sessions with Chris, you will find that the programs Chris offers gives you fortitude to change your thinking and that just might have you eating well for life!!
Karina
Chris, this has really been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, for giving us instructions on exactly how to make the transformation, all of your encouragement, and recipes! I love how I feel. I know I lost some weight – I don’t have a scale anymore so not sure how much I lost – and the bloated ickiness is gone. I’m shooting for 80/20 application after this is over. This was so worth the price!
Nancy
As an athlete I was missing the connection of how fueling my body affects my performance and energy levels. Chris helped me create balance in my diet and incorporated many new veggies, healthy recipes and best of all the green smoothies, which my one year old son Kai loves! I feel good about what my family is eating now and our healthy changes have yielded many results including weight loss, more energy and I’m no longer getting headaches, which have plagued me for years at least 3-4 times per week. My son is getting veggies, my Ironman husband has strength and energy for his training, and we are creating a healthy lifestyle that is free of the emotional ups and downs of the diet mentality and restrictive eating.
Heather
I was already a “clean foods” eater before, so I wasn’t expecting to notice much BUT my cravings for carbs and sweets went away and I lost several pounds!
Laurie
This was a great detox that I truly enjoyed. It helped me find the foods that were causing me to feel bloated and hold on to extra pounds. It helped me with my fatigue in the afternoons and to discover that I have problems digesting dairy. I have suffered from IBS my whole life and this truly helped curb the gas, bloating and pain that go along with my usual day. I also thought that I was eating healthy foods already but I discovered that my individual digestive system responds negatively to foods that normally are considered healthy options. I found options that do work and have helped me to not feel fatigued during the day. I realized that sometimes I can have foods that are off the menu on a normal day but I know now how I will feel after I eat them so I can plan around that for a vacation or special event. This is such a great plan. I am still using the smoothies daily and a lot of the recipes b/c I like them so much. I was not overweight at the start of the detox but I did want to take off a few summer pounds that crept up. I did lose five pounds by the end of the detox and I felt terrific! Thank you!
