Energy Matters Acupuncture and Qigong

If this is your first time doing the program, there are two ways to get started. You may attend one of our free Informational Lectures about the Program. See our events listings for the next date.

Or, you may call the office and make an appointment with a practitioner for a 21 Day Detox consultation. Once you have attended the free lecture or had your individual consult you are ready to go! If you have done this program before with Energy Matters, you may simply call the office and request the 21 Day Detox Package, which you can pick up or have shipped to you. Back to top

The beauty of this program is that it is equally effective if you want to lose weight, or if you do not. The point of the program is to detoxify your body; weight loss is a “side effect” of the program, as the supplements and foods work to help your body to release stored toxins. If you are not overweight, as long as you eat plenty of the allowed foods you will not lose weight, but you may lose inches.Back to top

This program is most definitely not a fast. There are many foods you will not be eating, but the point of the program is to nourish your body with pure, un-adulterated foods and to detoxify your body with the specially designed food-based supplements. Food is medicine.

You will be eating vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, lentils or brown rice, and protein shakes. During the second half of the program, you may add small amounts of fish and meat. Back to top

Yes. You will be able to do your normal life while on the program. You will want to plan your start date so that the first few days are over a weekend, as you may have some fatigue, achy joints or other detox symptoms at the beginning. The program is designed to allow your body to detox gradually and efficiently without throwing you into crisis. Back to top

Traveling while doing this program is possible, but challenging. The best thing is to plan to do the program when you will not be traveling, though short day or overnight trips are manageable. Your practitioner can help you strategize if this is necessary while on the Program. Back to top

We don’t advise doing the Program while pregnant or breastfeeding. When pregnant, you want your body to focus all of its energy on nourishing your baby and you. The same thinking goes for breastfeeding. Detoxing takes energy. Better to do the program before getting pregnant so you can enter pregnancy at the peak of health, and/or do the program once finished with breastfeeding. Back to top
