I combine my love of fine art with my eye for storytelling to capture the beauty and wonder of your experience so that you can enjoy and share your soulful story for generations to come.

hi, i'm Judith Rae

When we feel fabulous it shows and for me it’s all about what I put into my body and how I feed my mind and soul. Looking and feeling fabulous, whether it’s for the day to day or prepping for a photo shoot, when we see someone shining bright, we all want to know what’s in the secret sauce. 🌟

Caught up with my friend Vero last month and she shared a juice cleanse she had just started and how the positive effects were already kicking in. I was so excited to hear about all the changes I made the decision to commit to it for one month and absolutely loved the results!!!

 

Here’s what you do:

On an empty stomach, drink a 16-ounce glass of freshly juiced organic celery once a day for 30 days.

• I use a Hurom Slow Juicer. Decided to go with this juicer after some research and reading about it on one of my favorite juicing guru Kris Carr’s blog, definitely worth checking out.

• One whole stalk and a half of organic celery to make 16 oz. of juice.

 

Below are the results I found:

Gut: First week or two it worked as a cleanse typically does – 💩💩💩  all toxins out of my system. Also I felt some occasional soreness in my gut for the first week. After the initial soreness that my gut felt much more at ease and overall a happy camper. I even tried a few gluten products (while on the cleanse) and my stomach felt like it could handle it.

Body: Trimmed a few inches off my waistline!!! Felt AMAZING as my honey and I headed to the beach. 👙🏄🏻‍♀️

Skin: I noticed my complexion got much clearer. I had a scar on my face from a weirdo pimple pop attempt and that went away 🙌🏽 Also, the skin around my face and neck got tighter AND I noticed an overall youthful look about myself.

 

Be Forewarned:

The first question many people ask me: does it taste good??? Lol!!! 😋

No, it’s celery juice with nothing in it 😜. I’ve never been a fan of celery period but once I began to research it’s benefits then I became a fan. My magic trick is to think about all the healthy benefits as I gulp it down then done for the day. Bottom’s up! 🙃

 

Notes: below is how I chose to eat,  just sharing what works for me. ☺️

I am now 85% gluten free and have been for about 8 years now.

I am also about 80% dairy and meat free (for two years) – I avoid all animal products but occasionally will have fish or eggs. At home I always cook vegan for Alex and I but adding fish/eggs into my diet when I travel, when I’m out with friends or on a dinner meeting makes my life easier.

I don’t drink coffee 😳 haha yup you heard that right! I gave it up in my twenties along with smoking and alcohol. Occasionally I’ll have a glass of wine and maybe once or twice a year a cup of coffee but that’s really it. You might be like 😱 WHAT how do you stay up all day, I get it all the time. This is what works for me. I love the smell of coffee and the taste (I mean I’m Brazilian, I started drinking coffee before I could walk lol!) but I could tell that my body felt better without it. (More about this in next post… stay tuned)

I also try my best to avoid sugar especially processed sugar. I am a chocoholic and love sweets so this has been tricky. Once I start it’s challenging to stop. Sooo I have found other ways to feed my sweet tooth. (More about this in the next post)

 

Notes From the Medical Medium by Anthony William 🤓

Celery strengthens hydrochloric acid in the gut and provides mineral salts to the central nervous system. The first step in addressing virtually any other gut health issue is to rebuild your stomach’s supply of hydrochloric acid and strengthen your digestive system.

There’s an amazingly simple and effective way to do this: daily, on an empty stomach, drink a 16-ounce glass of fresh celery juice.

This may not be the answer you were expecting. It may not seem like celery juice could be that beneficial. But take this very seriously. It is one of the most profound ways, if not the most profound way, to restore digestive health. It is that powerful. And keep in mind: while there are many juice blends out there nowadays that are fantastic for your health, you need to drink your celery.

This works because celery contains unique sodium compositions, and these mineral salts are bonded with many bioactive trace minerals and nutrients. If you drink the celery juice first thing in the morning, it will strengthen your digestion of the foods you eat for the rest of the day. And over time, the mineral salts, minerals, and nutrients have the unique ability to completely restore your stomach’s hydrochloric acid.

You should also know that it’s common to have not just one gut issue, but several related gut issues at once. The rest of this chapter empowers you to deal with other gut problems.  🌱  🌱 🌱

Writing this out made me feel like a scientist which is serendipitous because my friend Vero (who turned me on to this cleanse actually is a scientist! 👩🏻‍🔬 Thank you Vero for the inspiration❤️).

Now you know and can test it out, share with your friends and support one another through it. Email me with results, I would love to hear from you and cheer you on 🙌🏽

Bottoms up!

xoxo
