Every season in life is different. We all experience both successes and setbacks. We go through stretches of motivation, regular exercise, and mindful eating that fill us with energy and feelings of accomplishment. Then there are the times where we feel off balance and find ourselves looking for a clean slate.
The OWL Reset Cleanse is your gateway to starting over with healthy living. This nourishing, organic cleanse program was designed with intentional ingredients and based in Ayurvedic practices. If you’re wanting to enhance your energy and mental clarity, this cleanse will bring you back to your natural, flourishing self.
The Importance of Nutrient Dense Foods
The Standard American Diet or Western diet is known to contain highly processed foods with added sugars, refined carbohydrates, refined fats, and high fat meat and dairy products. These foods are severely lacking in nutrients and high in substances that promote inflammation within your body. This is where you become susceptible to common conditions and diseases linked to high inflammation and nutrient deficiencies.
At OWL, we promote the importance of balancing nutrient dense foods with mindful practices to help lay the foundation for healthy living. Our Reset Cleanse was designed by a health coach and centers around intentional, nourishing ingredients. Each of these ingredients bring purpose to our collection of Broth Elixirs and Mylkshakes. Let’s break down what you’ll find inside your Reset Cleanse.
What’s Inside Each Cleanse
Gut health is at the top of our list for living the healthiest life you can. That’s because so much of what happens in your gut has an extreme impact on many other functions within your body. From immune health, to brain function, to promoting quality sleep and balanced hormones, your gut is an important command center for your entire body. This was the inspiration behind the creation of our elixirs and shakes.
OWL Broth Elixirs
Our organic, grass-fed Broth Elixirs were designed for healing the lining of your gut. Made from simmering the best quality bones, organic veggies, and medicinal herbs, our bone broth contains the most thoughtful and nutritious ingredients nature has to offer. Each one brings with it powerful abilities to transform the state of your gut.
Nutritional Profile
OWL Bone Broth Elixirs contain high quality collagen from the connective tissue of healthy animals. After simmering our bones for twenty-four hours in apple cider vinegar, that collagen breaks down into gelatin. The amino acids in gelatin are where we find the stars of the show: glutamine, glycine, arginine and proline.
Glutamine - For the strength and integrity of your gut wall, we look to the healing and protective powers of glutamine. Because glutamine contributes so much to the health of the mucosal lining in your intestines, it is paramount in preventing and healing a leaky gut. This means a much stronger barrier between your stomach and your bloodstream, which prevents toxins from escaping and causing inflammation throughout your body1.
Arginine, Glycine, & Proline - These amino acids work in concert with the natural compounds glucosamine and chondroitin found in the cartilage used in bone broth. Each of these help your body build and strengthen its own connective tissues around your joints, which can decrease pain around the area2. Glucosamine and chondroitin also contribute to the health and strength of your bones, all culminating in a healthy musculoskeletal system.
What’s more, is that glycine and arginine are powerful anti-inflammatory agents that fight chronic inflammation and contribute to overall gut health. Glycine suppresses the inflammatory hormones IL-6 and TNF-a3, as well as the activity of free radicals that can do serious harm to the structure of your cells. Glycine also promotes natural relaxation that contributes to excellent sleep hygiene4. Quality sleep is imperative for a healthy gut.
Added Benefits
The bones we use in all of our Broth Elixirs are cage-free, free-range, and grass-fed and finished. This ensures that only the highest quality nutrients make it into our Broth Elixirs to fortify your whole body. We also infuse our Broth Elixirs with healing herbs and spices that support your overall health. From anti-inflammatory properties to antibacterial and antiviral superpowers, our collection of herbs, spices, and organic veggies increase the vitamin and mineral content, contribute to digestive and immune support and soothe your gut. They also give you the experience of sipping herbal tea as compared to most bone broths that have a meatier flavor. Some of our favorites include:
- Fennel
- Swiss chard
- Sorrel
- Cordyceps
- Lion’s mane
- Turmeric
- Rosemary
- Sage
- Ginger
- Moringa
Organic Plant Based Mylkshakes
The inspiration behind our hemp Mylkshakes is the study of chronobiology. Our shakes provide you with the nourishment your body needs at each point in the day in accordance with solar and lunar patterns. The intent behind the shakes is to bring you high quality nutrients while giving your digestive system a much needed break. Each shake pairs perfectly with its partner Broth Elixir with the goal of optimizing your digestive health.
Magic Matcha
Your perfect morning pick-me-up. Magic Matcha contains bentonite clay which aids in detoxing heavy metals from your system5. The matcha provides a gentle boost of energy and brain function without the usual jitters that coffee leaves behind6. Along with plantain, spirulina, and cinnamon, this morning shake also helps regulate your blood sugar7. We recommend pairing Magic Matcha with our Vegan Elixir.
Golden Ginger
The midday miracle your body needs at the peak of your day. The main purpose behind this shake is to regulate digestion to keep you moving though your day without any hiccups. Slippery elm bark provides the soothing anti-inflammatory effects your gut needs to continue smooth operations8. It does so by protecting the mucosal lining of your intestines to reduce irritation. Combined with ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon, Golden Ginger will balance your midday blood sugar and reduce any inflammation that could slow you down. Golden Ginger is meant to pair with our Chicken Elixir.
Bold Beet
Bold Beet draws on the natural power of beets to increase your blood circulation9, and the soothing effects of ginger and turmeric to regulate your digestion. Triphala powder is the secret ingredient that contains three powerful Ayurvedic medicines meant to soothe even the most stout of digestive conditions, such as IBS or constipation10. It also boasts strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Pairing Bold Beet with our Beef Elixir is the best way to ensure optimal healing overnight.
Created With Intention
Each component included in the OWL Reset Cleanse is meant to support your entire body by focusing on healing your gut. Because we wanted to create a cleanse that will restore and nourish your body, not only will you feel the difference, you’ll enjoy the experience along the way. Find out why so many health enthusiasts continue to rely on our Reset Cleanse for a rejuvenating transformation from the inside out.

Julie is a self-made writer on a forever journey of fitness and health. As a high school music teacher, she has seen and experienced the challenges of maintaining good health while simultaneously balancing a career and healthy relationships.
Julie has always lived a healthy and active lifestyle. She loves the outdoors, hiking, and camping. Over the years she has continued to learn smarter and better ways to take care of her body while continuing to do the things that make her smile. Naturally, all of her teacher friends wanted to know how she did it - what was her secret?
Julie found herself explaining over and over everything she'd learned in her research, and sharing her experiences through trial and error. Her friends would take her advice, try some new things, and then come back to ask how to take it to the next level.
"You should charge for this kind of information!" Became a constant phrase, and so began her career of writing to share her knowledge with the world through health and wellness companies looking to spread healing and healthy habits within their communities. Now Julie gets to combine two of the things she enjoys most - writing and wellness - and use them to affect change in a real way.
When not making music with her kiddos, or writing wellness tips for a higher quality of life, you can find her reading, hiking, drumming, and fitnessing
