Our First Group Cleanse: Results, Benefits & Why It Works | Elixir

As our first group cleanse comes to an end, we’ve been taking a moment to reflect on the experience — and honestly, we feel so grateful for everyone who joined us.

Over the last few days, we’ve heard the same things again and again:
more energy, better sleep, clearer heads, improved digestion, and that light, refreshed feeling that comes from pressing pause and giving your body a reset.

And today, Lauren and I have felt it fully ourselves — boundless energy, real mental clarity, and the kind of deep, nourishing sleep that leaves you waking up genuinely refreshed (even our watches were impressed 😅).

Why do these changes happen?

One of the biggest benefits of a juice cleanse is the rest it gives your digestive system.

Digestion is one of the most energy-demanding processes in the body. When we’re constantly eating, snacking, and digesting, a huge amount of our energy is being directed towards breaking food down and absorbing nutrients. By switching to cold-pressed juices for a short period, we allow the digestive system to slow right down, freeing up energy for other vital processes.

This is when the body can focus more on:

• cellular repair

• detoxification

• reducing inflammation

• balancing blood sugar

• and restoring gut health

When digestion gets a break, many people naturally experience:

• increased energy

• reduced bloating

• clearer skin

• improved sleep

• better focus and mood

The role of toxins & modern lifestyles

In everyday life, our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins — from processed foods, sugar, alcohol, environmental pollution, stress, and lack of rest. Over time, this can place a heavy burden on our detoxification systems, particularly the liver, kidneys and gut.

A short cleanse gives these systems space to catch up, gently supporting the body’s natural detox pathways. This is why people often describe feeling “lighter”, clearer and more balanced after a cleanse — not just physically, but mentally too.

The power of doing it together

One of the most beautiful parts of this experience has been the community element. Watching women support each other, share how they were feeling, offer encouragement, and celebrate small wins has been incredibly special.

There’s something powerful about knowing you’re not doing something alone. That sense of shared intention, accountability and kindness makes a huge difference — and it’s something we’ll absolutely be building into future cleanses.

If you missed this group cleanse, you can still enjoy the experience by creating your own mini cleanse with friends. Grab a few girlfriends, start a group chat, pick your start date, and reset together. We honestly believe the shared journey is one of the biggest reasons this cleanse worked so well.

A gentle reminder

Cleansing isn’t about extremes or perfection. It’s about creating space — space to reset, to listen, to notice how your body responds, and to reconnect with what feeling good actually feels like.

This group cleanse has reminded us just how incredible the body is when it’s given the right support.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and trusted us with your reset. We already can’t wait to do it again.

Much love,
Lauren & Kate
