Hi! My Name is Cindy Ruiz

I’m 53, a mother of four and a grandmother to five. My husband and I each lost 14 pounds and changed our lifestyle with the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge. I want to tell you how it helped us and what it did for my health and energy.

I’ve been married for 29 years. I love camping, fishing and spending time outdoors with my family here in Southern California. In 2003 I had lifesaving surgery that removed my esophagus and stomach; doctors reconstructed them using a piece of my colon. The surgery saved my life, but in the last four years I struggled with pain and digestion. Oddly, processed junk food caused fewer issues, so my diet slid into convenience foods—chips, dips, cereal, bread and fast food. I stopped cooking and became malnourished, tired and often depressed. I began to dread eating because I associated food with pain.

Because of my surgery I lack enzymes needed to digest meat and poultry properly, which pushed me toward softer, processed options. One night I found CleanFoodCrush online. I had never heard of clean eating or food prep before and was intrigued, so I joined the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge.

What Changed for Me

By the end of the 30-day challenge I could feel life returning to my body. I had more energy than I had in years and began sleeping better. My skin improved, my hair stopped falling out and my overall outlook brightened. One big surprise: my migraines decreased significantly—so much so that I noticed I hadn’t had one in a month.

I felt much better overall
Energy returned
Sleep improved
Skin cleared and I looked younger
Hair shedding decreased
Migraines reduced

The program made such a difference that I signed up for the annual membership. I’ve followed other programs and recipes from the same team and each one has been life-changing for me. Their meal plans, videos and practical guidance helped me rebuild my relationship with food. After years of not wanting to cook once the kids moved out, I rediscovered the joy of preparing meals for my husband and myself.

Cooking Again

Today I love cooking and trying clean, delicious recipes. One of my favorites is a chicken enchilada soup that’s comforting and nutritious. Since changing how I eat, my health has improved more than it has in a long time.

I lost 14 pounds and so did my husband. He now enjoys the meals I prepare. If you’re thinking about joining the 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge, give it a try—just 30 days can make a noticeable difference. The keys are consistent water intake and food prep. The program teaches practical meal prep and clean recipes that can help you fall in love with cooking the way I did.

Give yourself 30 days. You may find your energy, mood and health improve, and you may rediscover pleasure in preparing and enjoying food.

Be well,
