Spring Cleanse the live Beaming way.

The birds are chirping. The sun sets a little later. These are all the signs spring is right around the corner. Shake off the blahs from those dark winter nights, with a fresh new you. Pilates Platinum is teaming up with Beaming to help “spring clean” the most important thing in your life - You.

Not familiar with Beaming? Here’s some quick background. It was started by, Lisa Odenweller with the intention of helping people realize the power of food as medicine and what you eat and drink really matters. She combined her passion for health with an obsession for food into a delicious experience people of all ages could enjoy and feel the benefits of eating clean, plant-based foods without feeling like they were sacrificing. 

She partnered with world-class holistic chefs to create an entire “superfood” menu for the first Beaming cafĂ© in Del Mar, California. Flash forward a couple of years, and luckily for us Angelenos, we now have our own Beaming cafes in Brentwood and Santa Monica. Don’t worry Eastsiders you’ll be getting your own Beaming cafe in West Hollywood May of this year. 

Sounds pretty delicious and healthy? Beaming kicked it up a notch and thought “Why not cleanse with food. Not just juice?” And the magic of live Beaming cleanse started.

They believe a cleanse should be an experience that could easily be a lifestyle. Their gourmet foods and juices incorporate the finest plant based, organic superfoods that have the proven ability to balance, detox and renew. Food? During a cleanse? Unheard of, right? You think cleanse and imagine someone with bottles of juice of the fridge, trying to ignore the gnawing of their stomach. Not while your live beaming.

Everyday you’ll have an awesome combination of healthy juices, smoothies and nutritious gourmet plant-based foods – all developed to detoxify your body at the cellular level. The menu rotates with new items daily so you get to taste all the magic flavors of Beaming throughout your cleanse experience. Sounds to good to be true, but it’s not. Real food, everyday, and you’ll never be bored. 

You can pick from the Beaming Lifestyle Cleanse, Lean Cleanse, Active Cleanse, or by days. 

The Lifestyle Cleanse is designed for those ready to detoxify, reset and rejuvenate without having to suffer through the process. Each day, the menu provides nutrient dense juices and foods including a variety of delicious cold pressed juices, superfood protein smoothies, salads, soups and superfood elixirs. Beaming refers to it as their lifestyle cleanse because you can easily incorporate many of the items from the cleanse into your every day life long after the program. 

The Lean Cleanse is designed to accelerate and take you deeper into the detox process, for experienced cleansers, and those looking for more calorie restriction than what’s offered with signature Beaming Lifestyle Cleanse. 

The Active Cleanse was designed with the Athlete in mind who doesn’t want sacrifice calories and needs to stay strong and nourished during their cleanse. The Active Cleanse is perfect whether you’re a pro athlete or weekend warrior. 

Or you could build your own 3, 4, 5, 10, The 10, 21 cleanse experience. You get to pick your favorite Beaming items to customize your program. And you get the convenience of having Beaming taking care of all the details for you. Eating right everyday does become a challenge sometimes. Driving here, sitting in traffic, getting to this appointment. Let Beaming deal with food run around, and take that off your to do list.

Stop by one of their cafes and try it for yourself. Trust when we tell you it’s amazing. When Odenweller first opened up shop in San Diego there was a line around the corner.  After you’ve tasted the heaven that is Beaming, sign up for their Spring Cleansing . Don’t forget to tell them you’re a PP client. You’ll receive over $300 in special perks from Beaming and our Spring Cleansing partners. Such as…
  • 6 pack of Beaming Power Shots (Vitality, Cold Buster, Metabolism, Smarty Pants, Ba’Baam)

“Nykki's Cleanse totally changed my life. I feel healthy, have more energy, and have lost 40 lbs in 5 months. With the help of Nykki, I have shifted the dead weight in every area of my life and I'm happy.  Not only that I have seen the transformation within me as a person. I have clarity, peace, and have opened my heart to the world. I have regained strength, held my head up high, and walked my path of what I believe to be true.” - Lisa Williams

“Nykki's Cleanse completely changed my life.  I had twin boys and could never lose the baby weight. I completed the cleanse, lost 13  lbs. and continue to lose weight, have more energy, clarity, am more positive, and feel the BEST I have ever felt.  It was easier than I thought! Nykki was an amazing coach through the journey and was readily available whenever I needed her. Thank you Nykki for introducing me to this lifetime opportunity, I am forever grateful!"      —Summer Edwards

“I went from 63kg to 60 kg - and lost 2 dress sizes.  It was more exciting AFTER the cleanse as I continued to lose weight and my body better metabolized so I could spot reduce cellulite.  And the ODDEST benefit was I had MORE energy to exercise while on the cleanse!  How many programss do you go on - where you actually continue losing weight AFTER the diet finishes? That's why the Nykki's Cleanse is a must!”   —Angela Ambrosia, Australia

AND MORE:
Yelp reviews are coming in positive—this is another client testimonial from this week:


"I started 2015 off with Nykki's cleanse and it's the best thing I have ever done. I am a Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach and loved everything about what Nykki created. I  was so ready for a shift in my life, and that's exactly what I got. I set an intention to let go of what no longer served me - I shed some long held limiting beliefs and about 8 pounds of toxic weight. I have changed by outlook on food completely. I was clean to begin with, but did have challenges with sugar. I no longer crave sugar, or anything that doesn't serve my body. I highly recommend Nykki's cleanse and will also recommend it to my clients!  Nykki is highly knowledgeable and has years of training in health and wellness. She created this cleanse to support long term lifestyle shifts and she has succeeded."

Quick Questions for a Wellness Self-Check

These days we’re all busy....
But it’s important to take the time to keep your health in check.
Exercise and eating healthy aren’t the only things on the list either—

Check out the below few topics that wellness experts say are key items to stay on top of in order to stay ahead of your personal health game. Stay healthy! And have a happy monday! J

1. What’s your blood pressure?
Did you know that high blood pressure is the #1 risk factor for strokes in women? A healthy blood pressure number for women is around 120/80. Check your blood pressure to see where you stand, and visit your primary care physician if you notice any changes or have a number drastically outside of the range.

2. Are you managing your stress?
Stress is bad for health. Duh! Stress is not just bad for your daily health, but it can lead to other health issues down the line. A recent study shows that women who experience high levels in stress in their middle ages (think 30s, 40s, and 50s) are more likely to develop dementia in the future. Time to get stress in check! If you haven’t tried meditating, exercising, yoga or deep breathing exercises, now’s a perfect time. If these methods aren’t doing the trick, a lot of women have found success with acupuncture and other non-conventional techniques. The important part is that you learn to create and manage a balance and don’t let stress get the best of you.

3. Breath Clean Air!
More than 20,000 US citizens are hospitalized a year from inhaling Carbon Monoxide! Carbon Monoxide is colorless, odorless, and extremely toxic. Make sure your home is equipped with a Carbon Monoxide detector so that you’re aware if levels increase and you become in danger of breathing this harmful gas.
4. Soak up that sun-- or get your Vitamin D elsewhere!
It only takes 10-15 minutes of sunshine exposure 3 times a week to meet your Vitamin D requirements. Vitamin D is so important! Your body needs enough Vitamin D to absorb calcium, to promote bone growth, and a ton of other important body functions. Check with your Doctor during your next yearly physical to make sure you’re taking in enough of this crucial nutrient. And if you’re not, ask the Doc to prescribe you a vacation in the sun!
