Fasting, Detox and Prolon
Time to get our bodies and health back on track. The physicians at Amber Wellness Group, are strong believers in taking opportunities to reset your system, to reduce inflammation and help you create new patterns of eating healthfully again.
When we experience stress, it is common to not provide our bodies with the fuel it needs to feel the best and we often consume more alcohol and engage in other comfort behaviors that create more inflammation.
If you are feeling inspired to clean up some of your unhealthy habits, improve your metabolism and shed a layer of inflammation, there are many ways you can approach this. One of the easiest ways is a 5 day fasting mimicking diet called PROLON.
Valter Longo, PhD has decades of research on the health benefits of a fasting mimicking diet. He along with the company L-Nutra and other scientists, developed a meal plan that allows you to eat a certain number of calories and still give you the health benefits of doing a water fast.

What our Clients are saying
Cheese is one of my indulgences and is also one of the worst foods for me. It is not typically a staple in my diet, but during the pandemic it became one of my daily treats.
So, my motivation to do the cleanse was not only to improve my health, but to decrease inflammation and to increase mental clarity. I have been trying to improve my hip flexibility for years. Instead of doing my typical workout, which also included yoga, during the cleanse I only did a 30-minute yoga class. I have done this type of hip opening class for years and actually by day 3 of the cleanse, I was for the first time able to do a full fire log pose, which if you don’t know, is a double pigeon and a deep hip opener and was able to continue doing this through the full 5 days.
Other benefits that I experienced was an increase in mental clarity and an overall weight loss of 3 pounds. After the cleanse, I have been motivated to take a deeper dive into the benefits of the fasting mimicking diet and continue to keep dairy out of my diet, and minimal carbohydrates. Eating all the good healthy fats that I recommend to my patients and tons of fresh fruits and vegetables. A renewed sense of pleasure in the simplicity of what is in season and delicious right now. And that mental clarity is still there! All pretty inspiring to keep it going.
The first time I did the 5-day Prolon program in 2019, I was running a lot more. Not only did I achieve the above benefits, I also was so surprised that after (I did not run during the 5 days) my minute mile improved by an entire minute without any more effort.
I hope you consider joining us and see what Prolon does for you.

“I was looking for something to help with inflammation and to work through an injury after running a marathon and a 50k race very close together. Prolon was the perfect opportunity for a reset! I felt a noticeable difference in my knee pain and mobility after my first round. Running without pain and feeling energized.
I also love the structure and simplicity of the program. I allowed myself to rest and focused on fueling my body to enhance cellular rejuvenation. When I approached this program with what I DO get (benefits of water fasting, with tasty food?! Yes please!) instead of what’s missing, I’m set up for success. It’s five days and it’s worth it!”
