Hi, I’m Julie McClure, the founder of be nourished, Canada’s freshest nutritional cleanse. I’m also an avid yoga enthusiast and passionate about anything related to health & wellness. This recent run of warm weather has us all thinking about spring, fresh starts and healthy habits. Which is why it’s fitting that, beginning in April, benourished is teaming up with 889 Yonge to launch a juice cleansing program designed to complement the studios’ inspired yoga classes.
Getting a spring glow on, has never been easier! My story like many of us, I lived the “work hard, play hard” lifestyle for over a decade, working in corporate finance on Wall Street (NYC) and Bay Street (Toronto.) Not surprisingly, the fast-paced lifestyle took a toll on my body, and I experienced first-hand the negative implications. In my case, chronic migraines. In 2008, determined to make a change, I left my career in corporate finance to pursue my passions: health & wellness. My hope was that in doing so that I would find a solution to my debilitating, decade-long health problem. After travelling and immersing myself in holistic environments that included yoga teacher trainings in Maui; detox programs at Hippocrates, courses from the Living Light Culinary Institute and more, I spent a year researching and experimenting with various anti-inflammatory, raw food and detox programs. Through all this, I managed to alleviate my chronic migraine condition - looking and feeling better than ever. Life became a lot brighter and fuelled with inspiration, I returned to post graduate school to study naturopathic medicine. In 2011, I married my passion for health & wellness, my personal experience and knowledge base and created benourished.
What sets us apart? We offer tasty juice, beverage & food products that are specially designed for optimal health and for keeping busy people on top of their game, both physically and mentally (i.e., alkaline in nature, free of major allergens, vegan and containing an abundance of organic, local, superfood and high antioxidant ingredients). AND, we make it convenient. NO research, NO shopping NO chopping. Just pop a top, drink/eat up and feel better knowing you are ingesting the best that your body can digest! Enjoy our upcoming ‘spring fling” with 889 Yonge starting in April. Come out and get your GLOW on! Don’t be afraid to live it up. be defined by who you are. be extraordinary. benourished.
