The Seasonal Renew is not just another detox diet, it's a science-backed cleanse designed for long-lasting change you can do from home.
Created by the award-winning Aro Ha Wellness Retreat, our 5-day program is designed to reset and renew your health through the power of a fasting-mimicking diet, one of the only diets scientifically proven to slow down ageing and boost immunity.

Simple Yet Effective
Day 1-2
Your body will begin to adjust to the three smaller meals per day that are easy to make (and delicious). Enjoy a live Zoom from Ben at the end of the day to check in how you're going. Some days can feel challenging, but don't worry, it gets easier!
Day 3-5
This is where the magic happens. Your body enters a state of autophagy, otherwise known as cellular recycling. Your body will have settled in to the portions of the meal plan, and you may feel a deep sense of awakening. We're here to guide you each step of the way.
Post-Cleanse
Enjoy the post-fast buzz of energy! The mind should feel sharp and the body refreshed. We recommend introducing your normal diet foods slowly and notice how they make you feel.
"A mind-blowing experience.
Learnt lots, loved the food, found an energy and excitement in myself I’d forgotten decades ago. I’m hooked. Thank you!"

"The conscious practice of fasting has played a crucial role in my life transformation.
When my 'story' and health fell apart due to a major spinal injury, the discovery of fasting within a spiritual context helped me find the way out.
In the last 15 years, I have come to discover that an intelligent and scientific approach to fasting is the medicine that we need to heal ourselves and the planet." - Ben
