Philosophie Testimonials

September 20th, 2009

“I was looking for a way to start fresh and kick-start a healthier lifestyle, so I decided to look into an all raw juice cleanse. I was fortunate enough to meet Sophie Aaronson who not only has a vast knowledge of diet and nutrition but of raw and vegan lifestyles as well. Sophie asked me a few pertinent questions before designing my cleanse for me, and we got started the very next day! I have to say, I was expecting to be hungry, crampy, cranky, or at least struggle with the cleanse, as I had never stuck to a “diet” before in my life! BUT to my surprise I felt completely satisfied every single day of the cleanse. Some of the juices and smoothies were better than others, but knowing I had so many nutrients coming to me each day assuaged any feelings of weakness or temptations to cheat. There were a few times when I felt so full I couldn’t imagine drinking another smoothie–a feeling I rarely have in my daily life! My favorite smoothie was one made with cacao that Sophie kept a little bit chunkier so that I would have something to chew, and it was DELICIOUS! By day 3 I was ready to keep going, and I had more energy (and a flatter tummy!) than ever! I lost a total of 5 lbs and for the following week or two, my body was burning fat at a faster pace and I continued to lose. I recommended this cleanse to 8 of my girlfriends and I would recommend it to anyone looking to re-boot their minds and bodies and just get a healthy clean slate! Thanks, Sophie!” (33 year old actress, Studio City, CA)

“I did Sophie’s 3-day cleanse and by the third day felt great and thought I could go actually more than 3 days (the first day is the hardest in terms of hunger, the second day I began to detox and the third day I felt great). The smoothie’s and juices were great – some tasted like they had an entire refrigerator full of vegetables in them so I never felt undernourished in anyway. I was hungry – particularly on the first day but it did get easier. I really liked that were solid foods on Sophie’s cleanse so I always had something to actually chew. She clearly put so much attention and care into the solid foods as well and they all tasted great. The best part of the cleanse for me was the convenience – everything was delivered to my door all clearly labeled and the menu for the day was emailed to me. I look forward to doing it again – this time with a friend so we can share how we’re feeling.” (44 year old mother, Venice, CA)

“I like to think of myself as a healthy(ish!) person, but I had gotten in a food & exercise rut.. doing the Philosophie juice cleanse brought a new awareness to what I put into my body and taught me about the benefits of raw food. During the three day cleanse, I really did not feel hungry or dissatisfied but instead looked forward to my next juice. They tasted so delicious!! I have now been able to incorporate elements/ nutrients from the cleanse into my daily diet.” (25 year old, Santa Monica, CA)

“Before I did my personal Philosophie cleanse with Sophie I felt tired, foggy, and just had that general heavy “blah” feeling. I’ve done other cleanses before where I felt deprived and couldn’t wait for the cleanse was over so I could eat something unhealthy. But with Sophie’s personal cleanse I felt like I was feeding my body with what it really needed while I cleansed. And the best part was I didn’t have to follow some strict unruly plan, as I listened to my body and what it needed, Sophie listened to me and worked with what I liked and needed. Every body type is different, and that’s why Sophie’s personal cleanses work, because they are structured around each individual person’s needs. I now feel lighter, clearer, and I fit into my skinny jeans!” (30 year old actress, Beverly Hills, CA)

“At first I must say I was scared to cleanse being that I had never done it and thinking I didn’t have enough willpower to complete it. However, in the end not only did I kick the sugar addiction that prompted me to do this but I also realized my own inner, mental strength. I was able to end my sugar cravings that existed after every meal and also learned the connection of my over-eating/snacking with anxiety and tiredness. I’ve now learned to eat only when I’m truly hungry and not when I’m looking for a way to mentally escape. My lifestyle is very much ‘on the go’ and doesn’t allow me much time to actually sit down for meals. After cleansing, I made it a point to sit down and take at least 15 minutes for 2 meals. This helps me enjoy the meal, break away from my day and reboot my system. It was a great discovery! Cleansing was an amazing experience and I’ll definitely cleanse 4x a year while doing mini day cleanses in between. I feel that it’s a crucial part of being healthy and I loved how I felt afterwards; I’ve never felt better!!” (26 year old personal trainer, Santa Monica, CA)
