The Clear Change Program is a 10 Day nutrition-­‐based detoxification plan. The program is
designed to enhance the body’s natural metabolic detoxification process while supplying
adequate fuel for both cleansing and other daily activities, providing energy and support for
overall well-­‐being. This scientifically designed program provides nutritional supplementation,
a modified elimination diet and comprehensive patient support materials, including a daily
menu guide, recipes and online assistance tools.
“The Clear Change Program is our most patient-­‐friendly metabolic detoxification plan to date,
providing science-­‐based nutritional support to aid the body's natural processes for clearing the
build-­‐up of potentially harmful substances from poor dietary habits, environmental chemicals
and other factors,” said Deanna Minich, PhD, FACN, CNS Vice President of Scientific Affairs at
Metagenics. “Our new program materials are designed to enhance the program experience by
making the dietary and nutritional recommendations as easy and simple as possible,
promoting compliance to achieve expected and reliable outcomes and help patients feel their
best.”
“As more and more people and healthcare professionals discover the health benefits of
metabolic detoxification, it’s vital to select approaches that supply sufficient energy intake
from dietary means. And, just as important, the program should ideally recommend only
supplemental nutrients that offer predictably safe use and scientific support for activities
related to metabolic detoxification,” she concluded.
To complement the targeted combination of science-­‐based supplements to support multiple
phases of detoxification, the dietary program offers further advantages by considering the
nutrient intake requirements for the body's normal clearance activities, which are complex,
energy-­‐ and nutrient-­‐driven processes. The hundreds of different enzymes and biochemical
pathways involved in detoxification require the presence of specific vitamins and minerals in
order to function optimally. Additionally, research has shown that the process of
detoxification can be compromised by insufficient energy reserves in the form of readily
available calories. Water or juice fasts may deprive the body of these vital nutrients and
adequate energy intake. The Clear Change diet, which has been clinically designed and
recommended for nearly two decades, includes foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals and
phytonutrients that support metabolic detoxification. This no-­‐caloric-­‐restriction eating plan
also eliminates potential food allergens that can trigger the production of unwanted
compounds that add to the body's environmental chemical burden.
