Amy Sue Smith, Owner of Sol Luna Yoga Next
I eat pretty healthy but Betsy’s detox program helped me take my body and nutrition habits to another level. One of my favorite benefits is my allergy relief. I have always suffered from allergies & would have to take medication to get through the spring and fall…I have not taken any allergy medicine since I did the detox. Betsy’s detox programs are easy and enjoyable to follow because the menu, recipe ideas and shakes are delicious. And Betsy provides ongoing support and offers great recipes and tips after the detox.

I needed an easy to follow nutrition program that virtually guaranteed my success. After reviewing many, I discovered Sunshine Wellness. During the 9 Day Detox Program, I lost 8 pounds (and that was without exercising – through diet only!). I no longer have cravings for sweets and I now eat only what my body needs. Even one month after the program, I don’t binge eat or yearn for sugar. I recommend Betsy’s program to anyone who wants to change their nutrition and lifestyle habits, but doesn’t know where to start.
Denise Valenti, Business woman & mom Next
Working with Betsy has changed my life. When I follow the nutrition and supplement plan that she has developed for me, I feel energized, healthy, and in control. And so far, I have lost 30 pounds! I LOVED Betsy’s 9-Day Detox! I was hesitant to try it because I have occasional low blood sugar but I felt completely satisfied. Having a set meal plan and shopping list made cooking so easy. I’m now continuing the shake on a daily basis and will definitely do the full detox again in the future.
NextFrom my experience with Betsy Markle, I have gained more knowledge through her newsletters, detox ceremonies, and recipes than I have in my years of research. She is knowledgeable and up to date with all of her information. Her realistic guidelines make it easy to transition to engage in more nutritious eating habits. I have tried various recipes from her website and have yet to have a bad experience. I look forward to her monthly newsletters, and am grateful to have found such a great source of data with the many questionable resources available today. I will be referring to Sunshine Wellness for years to come!

People always ask how I lost 65 pounds and how I am maintaining it. It hasn’t been an easy journey but Betsy’s Workbook sums it up perfectly.

As a Spa Director, I have access to the latest and greatest health and wellness products. The best discovery for me this year was Sunshine Wellness. Betsy’s Detox Programs are based on solid science which is very important to me. I was also impressed with how easy the detox was to follow (loved the shopping list and recipes). I was delighted to discover that I had more energy than usual and I was never hungry – not even at night which tends to be a tough time for me. I can’t wait to introduce my Spa guests to Sunshine Wellness!
Judith Smith, Meditation Teacher & Author NextI am eternally grateful for Betsy’s expertise. Through nutritional consulting and GI testing, we determined I was intolerant to gluten and other foods I had been eating regularly. Within a short period of time, I started losing weight, lost my severe sugar addiction, and became comfortable with food again. My blood sugar has stabilized and I have a lot more energy. I am finally in control and have my body back. Betsy has always been kind, non-judgmental, and very knowledgeable – thank you for all your support!
