Renew Life Part 2: Helping My Friend get some Regularity into Her Life

Yesterday I chatted about how the Renew Life press trip helped me settle into a slightly calmer, me-focused way of living, with meditation, yoga and quiet time becoming a little more regular.

Now I’m gonna talk about how Renew Life helped my friend become a little more regular, if you know what I mean…

She’s a fellow dance class pal, and is a mere slip of a thing, but was complaining about feeling bloated all the time, poking her belly out and looking at it forlornly. Being not afraid of asking such things, I asked if she pooped a lot and she said she never goes. I think her words were, “Maybe a fish poo, once a week.”

I had been given a goodie bag of gut health products from Renew Life when I presented an award at The Health Blogger Community Awards, so I decided she’d be my perfect guinnea pig!

I started her off on ‘First Cleanse‘, which I’ve also tried, and is a two week, gentle cleansing programme that doesn’t require green juices, fasts or cancelling anything out of your diet. It’s a box with two bottles, and you take two pills from bottle one in the morning, away from food, and then two at night, also away from food.*

When I say that you don’t need to make any adjustments, it’s worth perhaps cutting out junk food and upping the water intake, to make the most of it. But on the whole, it’s supposed to get you eliminating more regularly and effectively from your liver, lungs, colon, kidneys, blood, skin and lymphatic system.

It was remarkable how quickly these pills worked on someone who had never known good digestion. She gave me delightful updates, basically that she was pooing every day! Which was quite exciting for her.

However, after the two weeks was up, things slowed down again so, at Dr Sara’s advice, I gave my friend Renew Life’s CleanseSMART. This is a little more intense than First Cleanse and you take the first pills away from food (so, say, 30 mins before eating) but the last two pills must be taken 2-3 hours after eating.

This was combined with one of Renew Life’s probiotics: Ultimate Flora Critical Care. For optimal digestion and overall function of the microbiome, you want a really diverse array of beneficial bacteria. But antibiotics, poor diet and other detrimental lifestyle choices like smoking can really reduce the diversity, and that can effect digestion. Believe me, if you’ve never taken a probiotic and you start…You’ll notice the difference.

Critical Care contains…Wait for it…50 billion active cultures from 10 different strains! And the pills are specially designed with a unique ‘enteric coat’, to deliver the little blighters to the intestinal tract safely through the acidic stomach environment.

The combination of these two got my friend’s digestion back right on track. She now takes the probiotics to support this new age of regularity in her life, and the bloating has completely gone.

I’m a Renew Life convert – that was proof to me that their products really worked on my friend, transforming her digestion. I’m barely half way through my trial so that’ll be a post for the future, but in the meantime if you want to buy Renew Life products and check out their pricing, you can go to renewlife.co.uk and click ‘where to buy’ for a location nearest you.

Happy eliminating, guys!
