Refresh your mind and body with one of these cleanses so you can start the new year off feeling brand new.
The Dr Smood team believes that cleansing is meant to be a spiritual, mental and physical recharge to replenish the body and rid oneself of the environmental toxins one encounters in one’s day-to-day life. The intermediate Detox cleanse is a three-, five- or seven-day program that features scheduled liquid meals throughout the day including five cold-pressed detox juices, one nondairy custom “mylk” blend and one handcrafted beauty elixir booster for customers to sip on throughout the day. Leaf through the beginner and advanced cleanses before finding the one right for you. Multiple locations
This program by The Detox Studio is a noninvasive therapy that cleanses the body of toxins and waste. The treatment draws harmful byproducts from the whole body through a foot soak in an ionic solution of purified water and natural sea salt. It is said to remove a range of impurities such as alcohol and drug byproducts in the liver, built-up lactic acid, lymphatic congestion, heavy metal toxicity and more. Those who want to commit to a full cleanse should follow the program for three months while incrementally reducing treatments and incorporating healthy eating plans based on biochemical makeup and a custom exercise plan. You can also buy a single treatment and refer to the chart on their website to determine which toxins may be present and how to reduce exposure to them. 353 Lexington Ave., Ste. 1603
Magic Mix is a staple in the health food bubble of New York, and since the pandemic started it has expanded its online shop to offer its juice cleanses nationwide. The Reset three-day cleanse is popular for those looking to recharge and reset. It borrows programs from the company’s other cleanses. Day one is adapted from the Meal Plan cleanse, which includes three juices and three plant-based, soup-style meals. Day two is strict green juice fasting borrowed from the Fearless cleanse, before ending on the Intermittent Fasting cleanse, which reintroduces a plant-based meal and snack into the program along with three juices. This program also includes daily adaptogenic blends—mixtures of herbs that help the body deal with stress—each day and works to reset the adrenal glands and gut. 102 Fulton St.
NutriDrip has created a refreshing IV drip cleanse. Available at one of the IV nutrient therapy lounges, the drip is especially powerful for New Yorkers who need a boost from the environmental toxins they are exposed to every day, which can weaken immunity, make skin dull and dry, and leave us feeling like zombies. A powerful combination of glutathione and vitamin C along with B12, B complex, calcium, taurine, magnesium and other multitrace minerals are administered in 45- to 60-minute sessions. At-home concierge appointments are on hold right now, but drip administrators, who are all registered nurses, are on-hand in the office to help reset your body and mind. Multiple locations
This juice bar can be found all over Manhattan, and the longtime favorite for those looking to reset their bodies going into the new year is a must-try. The company offers three different cleanses based on experience level with cleanses and fasting, as well as full-day and half-day cleanses. First-timers will be eased in with a half-day cleanse or the beginner juice cleanse, which consists of six different juices to consume throughout the day. Serious health nuts will find the ultimate daylong detox in the For the Experienced cleanse, but at the end of the day each cleanse focuses on super-packing the body with nutrients, resetting your eating routine and clearing the system of toxins in order to refresh the body.
