Research led by the University of Southern California and Yale School of Medicine found that a fasting-mimicking diet — a short-term, nourishing way of creating some of the same biological effects as fasting without complete food restriction — was linked to better blood sugar control, less liver fat, healthier immune markers and a calculated biological age around 2.5 years younger on average.

There will always be a busy week, a dinner out or a reason to postpone looking after yourself. You don’t need the perfect 10 days — you just need to decide that your health deserves some focused attention now. We’ll guide you through the rest.

If your previous experience involved hunger, juices, complicated rules or trying to survive on very little food, this is quite different. Ayurvedic cleansing is about simplifying and nourishing while giving digestion a break. You’ll eat real food every day.

No. There’s no calorie counting, obsession with weight or punishment for eating the “wrong” thing. The focus is on digestion, nourishment, daily rhythm and supporting your body through food and Ayurvedic self-care. The intention is to help you feel better — not simply eat less.

Ten days is short enough to be realistic, but long enough to step away from some of the habits that may be leaving you feeling sluggish, bloated or depleted. It gives you a focused period to simplify your food, support digestion, prioritise rest and introduce daily Ayurvedic practices.

No. The cleanse is designed to fit around normal life. You can continue working and looking after your family while following the programme. We simply encourage you, where possible, to make these 10 days a little quieter and give yourself more space to rest.

Everyone responds differently, but participants may notice changes such as feeling lighter and clearer, improved digestion, more stable energy, better sleep and brighter-looking skin. The bigger goal is to give your body a reset and help you establish habits you can continue long after the 10 days are over.

Absolutely. You don’t need to be a confident cook. The recipes are simple, detailed and easy to follow, with clear instructions to guide you step by step. You will come away from the cleanse with a few new go-to meals and more confidence in the kitchen.

Yes. You don’t need any previous knowledge of Ayurveda. This isn’t an Ayurveda course — it’s a practical, guided cleanse. We explain the principles you need in simple, accessible language and tell you exactly what to do each day.

The cleanse is designed to make life simpler, not give you another enormous to-do list. Everything is planned and explained for you — meals, recipes, daily routines and practices — so you don’t have to work it all out yourself. And you’ll have the support of the cleanse community throughout. In many ways, for 10 days you’ll actually be doingless, not more.
