Here's a sample of what you can expect from the cleanse:
"Working with Ellen has been the best investment I've made and the dividends have been nothing short of miraculous.
Since the Fall Cleanse ended a week ago, I continue to notice new and different things about how I eat, feel and think. It was an amazing experience. My total weight loss was 9 pounds. A long-standing congestion in my sinus cavity has cleared out almost entirely. Other things that improved were: lower levels of anxiety, profound clarity and concentration, stamina throughout the day and fabulous sleep.
Ellen's guidance has been far more helpful than a slew of decent doctors and professionals..."

TESTIMONIALS: Past Cleanse participants have this to say about their experience:
"For a long time I believed I knew so much about proper eating. Still the nagging truth was "If I know so much, why do I feel so worn out?” Only when I decided to turn myself over to a professional and follow their advice, rather than my own, did things really turn around for me. While I had a part of it, I simply did not possess the knowledge or ability to put together a comprehensive plan formyself.
Working with Ellen has been the best investment I've made and the dividends have been nothing short of miraculous.
Since the Fall Cleanse ended a week ago, I continue to notice new and different things about how I eat, feel and think. It was anamazing experience. My total weight loss was 9 pounds. A long-standing congestion in my sinus cavity has cleared out almost entirely. I've also had red lines on the whites of my eyes, which have been there a very long time & are perhaps a sign of congestion - they have lessened amazingly.
Ellen's guidance has been far more helpful than a slew of decent doctors and professionals, none of whom had much more to offer than mis-diagnosis or harsh drugs, some of which exacerbated an already poor situation. For over 15 years I've had bowel problems - at first they said it was IBS, a catch phrase for "we don't have a clue". Since I’ve improved my diet over the past 6 months, and especially during the recent Fall Cleanse, my bowels have started to normalize. Other things that improved were: lower levels of anxiety, profound clarity and concentration, stamina throughout the day and fabulous sleep.
I am sixty-two and am feeling better than I did at thirty. I love knowing that by learning about proper eating by working with Ellen, the younger folks out there will not only spare themselves unnecessary grief but will extend these teachings to friends, family and especially children."
- Matty Maccaro, Bethesda, MD
"I don’t drink caffeine often, so giving that up was the easiest part of the cleanse for me, but I know that is a terrifying thought for a lot of people. Once the headaches subside, you’ll find that it’s one of the best things you’ll do for yourself. After it was out of my system, I found that I truly stopped needing it to wakeup. In fact, I’m less tired in the morning now that I don’t rely on it at all.
The group emails were such a source of inspiration. One of the best things about those emails was the sharing of ideas regarding how to eat healthy when you’re living a busy life. I need to have something around in case I get hungry. If I get too hungry and have to cook something, I tend to start looking around for something quick and if there isn’t anything quick, I’m vulnerable to questionable choices. I learned a lot of tricks and my grocery shopping changed to include quick snacks – i.e. nuts, fruit, hummus/veggies, etc.
For anyone considering this cleanse, I would say, “Don’t be afraid of the green smoothies. They’re your friend!”
I have no hesitations in encouraging anyone to do this cleanse. Ellen is full of life-changing knowledge. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. The idea of cleansing really does encompass everything about the body, inside and out. There is a feeling of clarity in the mind, a renewed energy within the body and an emerging confidence in having accomplished the task. No matter the reasons one has for feeling they can’t do it, there is mostdefinitely a workable solution."
- Christina, Maryland
"Having the structure of the group, and the progress reports of participants, all with different experiences, is very steadying. Also, I have been purely percolating with energy: my mind is much clearer (the effect I most longed for) and my energy level remains high, with the exception of two days so far.
I have lost that sludgy feeling that has vexed me for the past nine months or so, and five pounds as well. Though losing weight was not my primary goal in joining the cleanse, it is a lovely side effect. Thank you, Ellen, for taking the time to set this all up, and to keep tabs on everyone with such compassion and understanding."
- Hester Hemmerling, Indiana
"Though I generally eat a wholesome diet, giving up wheat, dairy, caffeine and alcohol for 21 days definitely seemed scary. But with Ellen's supportive emails and check-ins, as well as the support of the community she created through the Google group, the cleanse had less to do with what I was giving up and more to do with the revelations about food and the healthy habits I gained.
This cleanse got me thinking about food and nourishment in completely new ways. I realized I rely on food to fulfill all sorts of roles, from distraction to comfort to reward. And, as I read fellow cleanser's input on the listserve, I realized I wasn't alone. As the cleanse went on, I was inspired to seek out other ways to satisfy those needs, while gaining appreciation for the physical, psychological, social, and cultural power of food."
- R. Kennedy, Maryland
"I have never done a cleanse before and started this adventure with a little trepidation. Surprise, surprise – it’s been wonderful! I’m nearing the end of Week 2 and feel fabulous. I sleep like a rock, feel calm and relaxed ,yet have the energy, focus and motivation to do what I need to. Ellen is amazingly knowledgeable and compassionate, and answers all of our questions or concerns with wise advice. Also, it’s wonderful to do this with a group of other “adventurers”; the humor, diversity, creative ideas and caring support are invaluable. Two thumbs up! "
- Holly Cooney, Maine
"I am 51 years old and in pretty robust health. Of late, however, I had gotten too heavily into cheeses, bread, sugar and caffeine, some of which I attribute to menopause (sugar cravings, notably). At the same time, I was plagued by hot flashes, mood swings and poor mental clarity and acuity, as well as greater tightness in my hips and shoulders during yoga.
Having heard my housemate talk about stopping her chronic lower back pain by eliminating gluten and dairy, I decided to try Ellen's cleanse to see what would happen.
By the middle of the third day, I realized that I had had maybe one very minor hot flash where normally I would have had at least half a dozen, including in the middle of the night. Despite stopping my topical progesterone cream and black cohosh supplements, the flashes are gone, completely.
Even better, my mind and spirit are back to the higher focus, clarity and equilibrium I knew before menopause hit. This cleanse has been a true Godsend. Thank you, Ellen!"
- Marsha Johnston, Maryland
WHY DO I OFFER THIS CLEANSE?
Over the past 2 1/2 years I have taken over 400 clients through a 21-Day SPRING REJUVENATION CLEANSE, my FALL FORWARD CLEANSE, as well as a NEW YEAR, NEW YOU CLEANSE. Each time I offer the cleanse, the experience is, without a doubt, one of my best reminders of the truth of the adage "Food is Medicine." I am consistently amazed at the results that my clients (and I) experience, which include:
* 8-12 lbs weight loss for many of the participants (though at least three participants have had 20 lbs weight loss - and kept it off!)
* A reduction in or complete elimination of cravings
* Significant reduction in stress
* Overall heightened sense of well-being and peacefulness in the body
* Reduction in or elimination of long-standing sinus issues/congestion
* Positive changes in eating habits and awareness around healthy food choices
* Enhanced clarity of thinking
* Increased desire to truly care for the body
* Continuation of improved symptoms and improved eating habits post-cleanse
* Cessation of menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and foggy thinking
* Improvements in PMS (fewer cramps, normalized cycles, less emotional instability)
I consistently see results in 21 days that it normally takes 3 or more months for my individual clients (who generally make changes more slowly) to experience. So, this is a wonderful opportunity to get great benefit more quickly and at a much lower cost.
Guaranteed: You will be lighter, in body and in spirit, as a result of the 21-day cleanse. Looking forward to working with you during my SPRING REJUVENATION CLEANSE!

What are past participants saying about this program?
"Food has been my comfort since childhood, so the thought of making a life change around my eating habits was down right terrifying to me. Ellen was extremely compassionate to the fact that changing my way of approaching food can be a real challenge. When I failed to follow the program, even while in it, she was so kind and supportive with me that it, in turn, gave me permission to do the same for myself and I was able to turn myself around and really go full speed ahead into a new way of life. She also really knows her stuff when it comes to nutrition."
- T. S., MD
"Ellen is a gift and if the time is right for you to take the steps, your life will change in ways you have never imagined. She is there for you with confidence, encouragement, knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendship. Did I mention knowledge...it's like she knows you before she knows you. I will be taking another class or personal sessions with Ellen to further benefit my recovering body and mind. She is a blessing."
- Nancy, Crownsville, MD
"Weigh Less Live More started out as an effort to reduce some failing lab numbers and to learn about nutrition altogether. I was a novice to say the least. Little did I realize that this program would change my approach to eating and to living, entirely. Weight loss has been a side effect of learning and exercising. However, more importantly, my total demeanor and philosophy hasturned to a positive approach to living. My attitude toward food now isthat I do not want to harm my body in anyway. My attitude toward life is now sopositive.
With the information and guidance from Ellen, I now have the foundation for avoiding medication and choosing a healthy pathway for the restof my life. My experience with the nutrition instruction from Ellen is a matter of being in the right place at the right time. I only wish I had brought her into my life sooner."
- Pat Jones, Maryland
"I am truly changing my relationship to food and my relationship to fitness - for the first time in years I do not feel as though I am depriving myself. Instead, I am nurturing my whole self. The combination of the mindful and fun movement and the Nutrition counseling group is awesome! Both aspects focus on living a Full life in all ways. Oh! And I have lost 6 lbs in just the first 5 weeks without agony! Thank you for creating such a unique program."
- L.K.
"Ellen's class, Weigh Less, Live More, has taught me the importance of knowing what to eat and how to eat. I lost 7 pounds in the first 6 weeks!"
- Jo
"Since I started working with Ellen, I have begun to enjoy eating and especially cooking again. Her gentle education and insights about the value of the vegetables and fruits has made me realize I had been minimizing them in my meals, where now I am starting to look at how to have as many of them as I can squeeze in. I was in a rut about cooking, both the types of foods I was choosing and the ways I was preparing them. In the classes with Ellen, I have received a lot of fresh ideas for recipes and especially things that are easy and quick to prepare.
I have been surprised at how enjoyable it can be to learn something totally new and different again. For me, the best part of working with Ellen is she is very accepting of "where I'm at", and has helped me move forward in a way that is really comfortable to me, and which has resulted in surprisingly big changes. Honestly, since I am so used to the relatively small results which come with a lot of "teeth gnashing" frustration from typical weight loss programs (of which I have experienced many, many), it has been a very pleasant change to be able to relax, enjoy, and get healthier and happier at the same time as I am eating better and feel better in my body and mind.
I have to admit that I thought I knew EVERYTHING there was to know about dieting (since I have been on so many diets for practically my whole adult life, and just recently have come to terms with the fact that the extra weight is just going to come off when it does, and I just need to be patient and not worry) and exercise (since I have recently converted from the "I hate exercise" to feeling the joy of moving my body and doing it regularly for myself, and have studied and taught yoga/tai chi for 10 years). So in both dimensions (eating and exercising), I was basically moving along in a positive direction, feeling positive, and without worry for the first time in my life, which is a miracle.
I mostly decided to do the Weigh Less Live More Program as a support for my mother who wanted to do the program. SO... I wasn't expecting anything, and I have been very surprised!
Ellen has brought a lot of information about eating and food and digestion to help my brain relax into more natural eating habits, and has gotten me focused on trying to eat as many vegetables as I can, rather than focusing on all the other sugar and fat laden things I am no longer eating. It is a really great approach, and somehow my creativity about eating has come back out. I used to love to read cookbooks and then experiment, and that sense of play is coming back.
Thank you for a great program!"
- Susanne Miller
"Ellen guided me to make nutritious choices in my eating habits. She did not focus on low calorie choices but to choose foods rich in nutrition to help me feel better. I travel for business and managed to eat healthier on the road. My cooking and food choices improved and the best part was she was not judgmental and encouraged me to make food choices that were beneficial to my own body."
