Fasting at the cellular level
Each cell wants only three things, which are food (nutrients), a little conversation (cell-to-cell communication that drives the metabolic machinery), and most importantly a clean house (proper elimination of toxins and waste products).
The circulatory and lymphatic systems remove accumulated waste from cells. The waste products come from the biochemical activity called metabolism that takes place inside the cell. The cells work hard to “sweat” metabolic by-products and doesn't like to sit in its own muck. When this doesn't happen, waste accumulates and the cell begins to poison itself.
Your typical day will start by waking up early in the morning. You have the option to meditate by yourself in the meditation room before attending the morning exercise at 7:30 a.m. After this, there will be a morning group meeting to reconfirm your detox and massage schedules, talk about your progress, and to have an educational discussion about health-related topics.
Once the daily schedule is set, you are able to manage your free time however you like. In addition to all of the activities included at Santosa, there are also extra services and therapies available which you may like to partake in at an extra cost. These include Reiki healing, acupuncture, five Tibetan rituals, a variety of private yoga classes, and many more.
Pre-program
It is required to fill up the health questionnaire as well as follow the pre-cleanse guideline. The day you start the program, you will also take a PH test and body index check. After a deep and clear program orientation, your full fast program begins.
Juice fast program
The juice fast program follows a strict diet with only five freshly made juices daily, plus three rounds of cleansing drinks and detox supplements to allow your main detox organ (the liver) to work in a much more efficient way.
Once the detoxification starts, you will need colon cleansing following the way of colema, using 15 liters solution each time for two times per day. Colemas help to get the toxins out of your body as soon as possible to avoid them getting back into your bloodstream. After each colema, you will receive a fresh coconut juice, which is necessary for resupplying electrolytes. This program also provides a daily massage, along with a herbal sauna with the ice bath, which helps to thoroughly get the toxins out from different channels.
The center also offers different types of activities on a daily basis. These include various types of yoga such as Hot Vinyasa Flow, Acroyoga, Yin, and Aerial. As well as Zumba, fit ball, boxing, breath work, TRX, cooking class, and meditation. These options allow you to focus solely on these activities, taking your mind off any potential feelings of hunger. These activities also help to use the lymphatic system to sweat out even more toxins. You can attend as many classes as you like, according to your energy level throughout your program.
Post-program
During the last day of the program, there is a resolution meeting to check the results of the detox program. During this meeting, you will be guided on how to re-introduce food to your diet. After the last colema and probiotic implant, you will be served with a delicious coconut yogurt with papaya to break your fast. An on-going nutrition plan is also available at an extra cost according to individual needs.
Moreover, you will also receive a Santosa Wellness gift pack that includes a t-shirt, Santosa guidebook, natural toiletries. a detox shaker, and Santosa tropical day bag.
