Optimise liver detoxification and gut function to remove excess oestrogen, and break insulin resistance.

Food sensitivities create inflammation, which can result in hormonal imbalances.
After the detox you can start with a clean slate to identify which foods are problematic and are creating hormonal imbalances.
Trying to synch your hormones is confusing on your own. There is so much conflicting information about how to balance oestrogen, progesterone, insulin, thyroid hormones and melatonin.
In this 1 week course, Functional Medicine practitioner Sandra Ishkanes will teach you how nourish yourself to create optimum health when your hormones have gone haywire.
In just 7 days you can kick-start your weight loss, clear your skin, heal your digestion and more. Are you ready to lose inches on the outside while cleaning up the inside of your body? If so, keep reading.
This amazing program is a revolutionary way to achieve weight loss, determine your food sensitivities and regain your health and self- confidence.
This program may be your rescue jacket. I believe that intense changes cause intense results. I’m sure you want to get better “yesterday” and I can help you achieve that. By the end of the week you will feel great, have little to no digestive complaints, your clothing will fit more loosely and hopefully regain a confident smile.
Your hormones influence every area of your health including your mood, energy levels, digestion, weight, and more. This is because their main role is to act as messengers, sending instructions to every organ in your body to carry out specific tasks to keep you healthy.
However, problems occur when your body produces too much or too little of a certain type of hormone, leading to a multitude of health problems. Since your hormones control all aspects of your health, symptoms of a hormone imbalance can manifest in different areas of your body.
These problems are driven by your liver running at a sub-optimal level, because it’s overloaded with caffeine, alcohol, pesticides, sugar, etc.
When the liver is sluggish, it’s unable to detox oestrogen efficiently, leading to oestrogen overload, commonly know as oestrogen dominance. High oestrogen drives fatigue, acne, depression, anxiety, brain fog, mood swings, and weight gain, as well as the most common hormonal health issues too, from PMS to PCOS.
Many people argue that there is nothing you need to do to detox the liver, as the liver already functions as an organ of detoxification. While it is true that the liver is an incredible detoxifier, it requires sufficient quality nutrients to carry out this function of removing toxins from the blood.
The 7 Day Intensive Detox is not a a crash diet, juice cleanse, or fast, and it’s not about depriving you of food or making you count calories.
On this detox you will eat whole, high nutrient green foods that reduce inflammation allowing your hormones to function optimally.
And you will nourish yourself with the ideal amounts protein, healthy fats, fibre, minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients for gut, blood sugar, liver and hormonal support.
Cruciferous vegetables support oestrogen detoxification and thus hormonal balance which helps achieve optimal fertility and reduce oestrogen dominance and PMS.
To help eliminate excess oestrogen it is important to stimulate bile production with foods like dark leafy greens, celery, lime and lemon, watercress and artichokes.
Spinach, kale and broccoli are high in vitamin E, CoEnzyme Q10, myoinositol and alfa-lipoic acid to support egg maturation and quality.
Spinach, avocado, broccoli, parsley and asparagus are sources of glutathione a powerful antioxidant that supports phase I liver detox and reduces oxidative stress caused by toxins. This is important in inflammatory conditions like endometriosis or when boosting your egg quality.

The difference in me has been incredible. I really have been stunned by the turnaround in my symptoms.
Pre-detox I was getting 5-10 full on hot flushes but by day 4 if the detox I was getting 1 or 2 mild flushes. At the end of the 7 days no flushes at all! Literally every symptom from night sweats to anxiety has reduced massively. I didn’t believe I could feel this much better this quickly.
I’m making it my mission to spread the word! Women deserve a better menopause. Thank you so very much!
I’m now a serial menopause detoxer! Third time doing it in about 3 years, and the rapid change in energy and brilliant quality sleep are just as strong an impact as I got the first time – exactly what I needed!
I highly recommend doing the detox as part of the Menopause Core Nutrition Solution programme. The experience of doing it in a group of fellow women on the same journey, with Sandra’s warm, expert, leadership in the group, really makes a difference too (the second time I did it on my own, and it still had an impact, but I missed out on the camaraderie that really supports and excited me through it). The different thing this time is that I’m carrying on with the full programme for the next five weeks – the detox makes a massive difference in itself, so I’m super excited to know how much more deep and radical my life change is going to be with the full programme.
I really enjoyed this detox. It was challenging at times with a limited menu but I enjoyed that challenge. I had headaches after the 3 day but by the end of the week, felt fabulous. Although I did reintroduce lots of foods after the detox finished I found myself on a much better path for a good while. It was a really great reset. I’d definitely do it again.
I’ve done a few detoxes over the years (not as many as I should!!), and this has been by far the best. By day three I was really buzzing. I can’t begin to explain the difference. After 7 days, I’m ready for anything. The rules of the Detox are thankfully simple and easy. I was never depriving myself of good food, and I am delighted to have enjoyed it so much.
I intend to repeat the Detox 3 or 4 times a year. Thanks to Sandra for such impressive results.
Oh, and I also lost 3.5kg of weight (in 7 days!!) – almost couldn’t believe my eyes – especially considering this is a detox programme and not a weight loss programme! …Bring it on!
PS. Salted Coconut Kale Chips ‘with’ Peacamole – who knew?? I’m eating that forever.
Day 2 I wasn’t sure how I was going to carry on 😅 but by day 4 I definitely felt the benefits!
Feeling so much more energised and bright eyed.
It’s been a really positive experience. I have really enjoyed the fact that sugar cravings have gone and I’ve had the opportunity to retune my eating habits.
The recipe suggestions are simple and tasty and there’s sufficient to allow a choice of dishes over the week. I feel happier in myself and healthier and have lost pounds as well!
There were lots of great things such as lightness, weight loss, clarity of mind, emotional openness and little cravings. It did feel very nice eating such clean healthy food and I liked the protein shake.
By the end of the week, all my cravings were gone, I had more energy, my mood was much better and I felt more motivated about getting healthy!
I managed the gym three times and pilates and didn’t feel like I couldn’t do it!
I enjoyed taking time out to body brush, bath in sea salts and generally dedicating some time looking after me!! I lost 6.5 pounds! I would definitely do the Detox again. Highly recommended.
