What is a Marta Gladun Detox Programme?

​

​

Marta Gladun Detox Programme is no ordinary detox regime. During Marta Gladun's - Shambhala Detox, we refrain from eating. Instead, we use a specially selected mixture of herbs, composed by doctors from New Zealand, which allows faster elimination of toxins, deposits, and excess cholesterol from the body. The physical cleansing of the body is accompanied by mental cleansing from stress, depressive thoughts, and fatigue. It is primarily a time for oneself - in nature, in silence, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.​

​

Who can benefit from a detox program?

​

Detox programs can benefit individuals looking to enhance liver function, improve overall health, and reduce the accumulation of harmful substances in the body. 

​

The intensive group detox is designed to go upstream and straight to toxins, such as heavy metals and environment chemicals. These toxins get stored in some of the most critical areas of our body, such as our glands, organs, brain tissue, and cells. When this happens, we experience a variety of symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, insomnia, fatigue, gut issues, inexplicable pain, etc. that can later lead to diseases like cancer, Alzheimers, diabetes, and obesity.

​

​

How long does a detox program last?

​

The duration of a detox program is six days, starting with check-in at 5 PM on the first day and concluding with check-out at 11 AM on the last day.

​

Will I experience hunger during the detox?

​

During the detox, you will not feel hungry. Your body will shift into a state of endogenous recovery, allowing it to heal and repair itself from within. When you don’t consume food or calories, the body looks for other energy sources, such as drawing on glucose, i.e., sugar stores. Once the glucose is significantly used up, the body’s metabolism changes, and the body begins to burn fatty acids from stored fat for energy. When this transition to burning fat for energy is made, the body begins producing ketones and is said to be in a state of “ketosis.” Once you reach a state of ketosis, many of the benefits of fasting start to kick in. The specific benefits can vary depending on how many hours you have been fasting. For example, growth hormones kick in at 13 hours, whereas autophagy is thought to kick in at 16-18 hours. MIT research shows that at 24 hours, intestinal stem cells will begin repair, and 24 hours is also when you start to see weight loss.

​

Fasting is the deliberate abstention from food and/or fluids for a period of time for therapeutic purposes. Many people don’t know that fasting has been used for thousands of years in various religious and spiritual practices throughout human history, and in a sense, fasting is part of everyday life. The term ‘breakfast’ is the meal that breaks the fast, which is done daily.
