WELCOME

Eating clean isn’t complicated. It’s beautifully simple and wonderfully advantageous for

your body.

This simple program to prove that you too can experience the divine deliciousness that

comes with cleansing and renewing your body.

To be clear, this program is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle shift. There will be no calorie

counting or freaking out about losing weight. Instead, we will focus on nourishing and

regenerating our bodies.

Ii is always wise to take a deep breath before starting any new program. Making any

change in our food or lifestyle can feel overwhelming, which is why I want you to take

the time to read this guide before beginning.

You will eat seasonal foods to naturally cleanse your body such as beans, pseudo

grains, fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats.

This program is a flawless fit for you, even if you’re brand new to eating clean or have

experienced a clean eating program before. No matter the situation, you’ll see results!

Are you ready? Of course, you are. Remember, you are the best!

I look forward to hearing about your successes.

All the best!

WHY WE NEED TO EAT

CLEAN

Most of us aware that we and are exposed to millions of toxins daily. As a result, our

bodies suffer from toxic overload and are often unable to cleanse automatically like

our bodies are designed to do. These toxins often cause:

• Fatigue

• Foods allergies or intolerances

• Skin problems

• Weight gain or inability to gain weight

• IBS

• Hampered immunity

• Headaches or other pain throughout your body

• Hormonal imbalances

• Depression, anxiety, or constant mood swings

• Trouble sleeping

• Low sex drive

• Sugar cravings, and so much more!

Ready to eradicate all these symptoms? This program will bring about revitalized

wellness. By the end of the program, you will have learned how to:

Release the toxins throughout your body.

Discover which foods work for your body, and which foods don’t

Nourish your body with clean seasonal foods

Release stress and negativity from your life

Build sustainable change

Often clients tell me that they are eating clean already and still have issues. I often

remind them that they may have sensitivities or allergies that cause distress in our

bodies. My program addresses these concerns by doing an elimination diet. During this

process I remove commonly allergenic foods from your diet for at least a few days, and

then reintroduce those foods one at a time so that you can monitor your body’s

response to each.

WHY A SPRING DETOX?

When the seasons change our bodies change. Spring represents renewal, growth, and

expansion.

When you think about the spring, you think of blossoming flowers, butterflies and birds

chirping. Spring is the ideal time to cleanse.

In Chinese medicine, every season supports a different organ, which is why seasonally

cleansing is vital. The spring season honors the liver and the gallbladder.

The liver and gallbladder work in harmony to support a strong immune system,

balanced moods, and healthy digestion. The liver is responsible for filtering and

neutralizing harmful substances in your body. It has 500 metabolic jobs, which it cannot

perform optimally when overburdened with toxins.

Why is the gallbladder so important? Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the

gallbladder. A toxic and overburdened liver leads to an impaired release of bile from

the gallbladder, which affects the breakdown of fats and overall digestion.

In addition, Chinese medicine, each organ is associated with an emotion. The

emotion associated with the liver is anger, and resentment is linked to the gallbladder. If

you have found yourself feeling irritated or angry, this program should help you release

those blocked emotions and find a sense of peace. You will feel cleaner, lighter, more

focused, and your mood will balance as well.

Allowing emotional toxins to surface and be released during the program is just as

important as the physical side of the clean eating. If you find emotions coming up, give

yourself the space to process them. Old feelings of anger or resentment may come in

waves as you release the physical toxins. Allow the emotions to filter away as you

rebirth, recharge and renew.

YOUR CLEAN EATING

PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION

Your program is divided into three phases. Here is a brief introduction to the phases,

and we’ll go into more detail in each individual section.

Phase 1: The Pre-Clean Eating/Prep Phase 5-Day Detox Challenge

During this phase, you’ll prepare your body for a successful cleanse and begin

eliminating foods on the Do Not Eat list. There are no meals for this phase, but you’re

encouraged to choose meals from your Recipe Guide.

Phase 2: The Clean Eating Phase (days 1-7)

During this phase, you’ll begin cleansing your body by following the Suggested Meals

outlined for you. You will not consume foods or drinks on the Do Not Eat list.

Note: This program includes seasonal beans and seasonal pseudo-grains. If you wish to

eliminate the beans or grains, I suggest exchanging for another meal or making a clean

meal such as a raw salad, with a choice of protein and healthy fat.

Phase 3: The Transition phase (days 8-14)

During this phase, you’ll reintroduce common high-allergenic foods and pay close

attention to your body for symptoms that may signal an allergic reaction or food

sensitivity. You’ll follow the Suggested Meals outlined for you and eat from the Do Eat

list, except for foods on the Do Not Eat list that will be reintroduced.

PHASE 1 (5 DAYS Challenge)

As mentioned, phase 1 is considered the preparation phase for a successful

cleanse.

During this phase, you’ll begin to reduce your intake of food and drinks on the Do

Not Eat list, such as:

Coffee

Processed foods

Foods with nitrates

Foods with colorings or additives

Foods with chemicals

Foods with hormones

Foods with yeast, such as bread even healthy sprouted bread like Ezekiel

Please remember: there are NO meals planned for this phase, but you are free to

choose any of the recipes from your Recipe Guide.

This phase is five days long; however, if you need to extend this period, please do.

Many who have blood sugar imbalances, high cholesterol, candida, or sleep issues,

find that eliminating these foods or chemicals can cause an unpleasant cleanse

reaction such as headaches, loose stool, bloating nausea, constipation, rashes, fatigue,

poor sleep irritability or feeling light headed.

If you have a cleanse reaction during this time, please refer to the Detox Support

Tools. When you have cleanse reactions, try this:

1. Skin brush in the morning and night

2. Drink plenty of water with lemon and coconut water

3. Take a probiotic upon waking

4. Take an Epsom salt bath at night

During this time, examine what you are exposing your body to and ingesting on a

daily basis. Look at the ingredients in your lotions, cosmetics, bath products, perfume,

foods, etc. I tell my clients all the time, if you must google what the ingredient is, your

liver can’t process it.

Keep in mind, sweating is vital for cleansing and circulation. Moving your lymphatic

system, your body’s sewage system, will reduce cleanse symptoms. By taking an Epsom

salt bath, visiting the sauna, or doing light exercise, you will sweat out the nasty stuff that

is making you feel junky.

During this time, focus on the basics:

Page 11: Spring detox Master guide96bda424cfcc34d9dd1a-0a7f10f87519dba22d2dbc6233a731e5.r41.… · Phase 1: The Pre-Clean Eating/Prep Phase 5-Day Detox Challenge During this phase, you’ll

This is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

1. Drink at least half your body’s weight in water daily. Add lemon or lime

juice to cleanse the liver and lymphatic system.

2. Drink a green juice (see recipe guide for delicious juice options or make

your own alternative from the Do Eat List), a powered green drink, or a

cup of dandelion or nettle tea. If you make a smoothie, add Aloe Vera

juice.

3. Consume fruits and vegetables high in fiber; these will naturally sweep the

colon of wastes.

4. Reduce your intake of coffee and other sources of caffeine. These

stimulants increase cortisol levels which cause gut imbalances and affects

your body’s ability to maintain a healthy PH level.

5. Consume cultured foods; these good bacteria-rich foods enhance colon

cleansing, reduce sugar cravings, and help to naturally clean eating the

body and restore digestive wellness.

6. Take a natural laxative if you have problems moving bowels, such as

Triphala or additional magnesium. *Always consult your doctor before

taking any supplements.

7. Enjoy light meals; foods that are light and bitter will help to cleanse the

accumulated wastes from winter.

8. Enjoy a cup of dandelion tea or clean eating tea during this time to help

your body release unwanted toxins.

Here are some of my clean eating success tips to prepare you for the next phase:

1. Batch cook and meal prep before the next phase begins. Take a trip to

the market and buy BPA-free containers and glass jars to store your food

in.

2. If you need to swap a recipe because you’re allergic to an ingredient, or

if you plan on eating out or are not at home, do not worry. Try and

match the recipe to the best of your ability or ask for a clean and healthy

clean eating meal like a salad with avocado, protein and olive oil with

the juice of a lemon.

3. Stay calm. Stress is a significant toxin. Therefore, the more you breathe

and step into a quiet, calming space, the easier it will be for your body to

release toxins naturally. My best advice is to follow the schedule for all

phases and schedule blocks of time for self-care and relaxation.

PHASE 2 (DAYS 1-7)

During Phase 2, you will follow the meals outlined for you and remove all foods on the

Do Not Eat list.

This phase is very important, as you are removing foods that are highly allergenic and

very toxic. However, this is your divine clean eating. If you know you’re not allergic to a

certain food and you want to keep it in your diet, feel free.

I recommend adding a clean protein at lunch and dinner, based on your protein

needs. On average, my clients add:

• 3-5 ounces of protein to both lunch and dinner (women)

• 5-7 ounces of protein to both lunch and dinner (men)

Be sure to choose healthy and clean protein sources that are organic and grass-fed

(ideally), such as those below. My favorite low-mercury fish choices are salmon,

sardines, anchovies, shad, and smelt. They are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are

great for fighting free radicals in the body.

ANIMAL-BASED PROTEIN SOURCES (DURING ALL PHASES OF CLEAN EATING)

MEATS (nitrate-free and organic is best)

• Chicken, pasture-raised

• Turkey, pasture-raised

• Bison, grass-fed

• Beef, grass-fed

• Lamb, grass-fed

FISH, SEAFOOD

• Canned fish (sardines, anchovies, wild salmon), but look for BPA-free cans

if possible

• Fresh or frozen fish such as wild Pacific salmon or non-fatty white meat fish

like Pacific cod, trout, sea bass, mackerel, Dover sole, or albacore

• Shellfish, such as wild shrimp, or scallops

*Make sure the fish you are eating is low in mercury. A list of low-mercury fish can be

found here: http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/guide.asp

PLANT-BASED PROTEIN SOURCES (DURING ALL PHASES OF CLEAN EATING)

These are simple suggestions for vegan protein options.

• Three tablespoons hemp seeds, one-fourth cup sunflower seeds, or one-

fourth cup pumpkin seeds

• Avocado

• One cup of green peas

• Coconut meat

• Sprouts

• Two tablespoons of chia seeds or chia gel

• Chia pudding

• Nutritional yeast: one to two tablespoons, if tolerated

• One to two scoops of plant-based protein powder for smoothies, soups or

even mixed into a dip

• Miso soup

In addition to the meals outlined, free to add two snacks between meals, such as:

• A smoothie with a good quality dairy-free protein like hemp seeds, hemp

protein or pea protein

• A nutrient-dense protein ball

• An apple spread with SunButter and shredded coconut

• A soaked date

• Berries topped with three tablespoons of hemp seeds

• Chia pudding with berries, raw cacao, hemp protein, and cinnamon

• Choice of protein and a small salad with the juice of a lemon and two

tablespoons olive oil

• Green Juice with two tablespoons of chia seeds

• Celery with two tablespoons of sunbutter

If you feel tired during this phase, I suggest you add: A scoop of plant-based protein

to smoothies, soups or even mixed into a dip. You can also add in healthy

carbohydrates such as yams, sweet potatoes, or root vegetables such as carrots.

Make sure that in addition to documenting your meals this week, you document

how you feel after each meal in your diary. This is very important.

PHASE 3 (DAYS 8-14)

During Phase 3, you will slowly reintroduce foods that may trigger a histamine

reaction by following the Suggested Meals that have been laid out for you.

Here’s what you’ll be reintroducing each day along with the recipe name:

Day 8: Dairy - Strawberry Banana Yogurt Parfait

Day 9: Dairy: - Spinach Salad with Peas and Feta Cheese

Day 10: Wheat- Ezekiel Toast with Avocado

Day 11: Wheat- Pasta Salad Bowl

Day 12: Eggs - Scrambled Eggs with Clean Eating Pesto

Day 13: Eggs & Wheat - Whole Wheat Pancakes

Day 14: Nuts - Walnut and Grapefruit Salad

As you reintroduce these foods, watch out for symptoms such as:

• weight gain

• a stuffy nose

• poor sleep

• cravings

• a shift in mood

Be sure to track of all of your symptoms in your food diary. During this time, it is

important to write down any physical or emotional changes you experience.

Keep in mind that food sensitivities may or may not be permanent. Just because

you are sensitive to something now, doesn’t mean you’ll always be sensitive to it. For

example, when you’re stressed or the bacteria in your gut is out of balance, you may

experience more food sensitivities.

Also, make sure to add protein to your meals as you did in Phase 2.

This phase is 7 days long; however, individuals with a history of food allergies,

digestive issues, or unexplained health issues might want to extend the reintroduction of

foods past 7 days.

CLEAN EATING SUPPORT

TOOLS

*The following clean eating support tools encourage cleansing. In addition to the

tools outlined in the protocol, feel free to add as many of these to your daily ritual as

you feel the need. Just be sure to stay hydrated during the process!

CONTRAST SHOWERING

Contrast showering is so easy to do and requires no extra purchases! In the shower,

alternate between hot and cold water to support lymphatic drainage. The hot water

brings blood flow to the skin’s surface while the cold water directs blood flow inward to

the organs.

I recommend three minutes of hot water, one minute of cold, three minutes of hot,

and so on. You can repeat this for 15 minutes, always finishing with cold water.

TONGUE SCRAPING

I suggest scraping your tongue daily in the morning and before bed. This method

removes the mucus and toxic buildup in your mouth.

Use a tongue scraper or a spoon to reach to the back of your tongue, pull forward,

and scrape off the white film, then repeat. My favorite tool is Dr. Tung's Tongue Cleaner.

You can buy this on Amazon or at your local health food store.

SKIN BRUSHING

Page 16: Spring detox Master guide96bda424cfcc34d9dd1a-0a7f10f87519dba22d2dbc6233a731e5.r41.… · Phase 1: The Pre-Clean Eating/Prep Phase 5-Day Detox Challenge During this phase, you’ll

15

I cannot say enough good things about skin brushing. Skin brushing supports your

lymphatic system, kidneys, and liver and has been shown to reduce toxins by 25% in the

body. You can skin brush in the morning before your shower and at night.

How to skin brush:

• Skin brush with a dry brush (made for this purpose) before you shower or

bathe. My favorite by Yerba Prima, available on Amazon or at your local

natural food store.

• Always brush toward your heart with the flow of the lymphatic fluid.

• Start at the soles of your feet and then move up your legs, brushing in a

circular motion.

• Brush your chest and shoulders toward your heart in long strokes, and

then start at the fingertips and brush toward your body. Use small,

circular strokes in your armpits.

• Move in a circular motion counterclockwise on your stomach to respect

the direction of digestion and encourage cleansing.

EPSOM SALT BATH

Epsom salt baths should be a clean eating tool you take advantage of during this

program. Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate, is wonderful for:

• Lessening muscle cramps

• Adding magnesium to your body, one of the most important minerals for

sleep, healthy bowels, and brain function

• Improving nutrient absorption

• Easing stress and improving sleep and concentration

Here’s how to make an Epsom salt bath:

Add 1 cup of Epsom salts, ½ cup baking soda, ½ cup sea salt, and ¼ cup Bragg’s

raw apple cider vinegar (optional) to a warm bath. You can also add a few drops of

essential oils, such as lavender or another favorite essential oil. Relax and enjoy your

luxurious cleansing bath.

CASTOR OIL PACK

This may sound scary, but it is not. Castor oil packs have been used for centuries to

pull toxins out from the body. You can do a pack on your abdomen, chest or even your

thighs to reduce cellulite (which are toxins stored in fat).

There are two ways to do a pack:

Rub castor oil on your stomach, liver (right side) and upper abdomen. Some people

prefer to soak a cloth, towel or old shirt in the castor oil. Wrap the pack in plastic wrap

(BPA-free preferred) and then apply over the desired organ. You can lay a hot water

bottle or a heating pad on the top of the pack and relax as you release toxins for about

45 minutes.

OR

Lay on a towel and rub the castor oil on your stomach, liver (right side), and upper

abdomen. Then re-apply every 15 minutes until you’ve reached the 45-minute mark.

OIL PULLING

Oil pulling is by far one of my favorite tools, and it is so easy to do. Oil pulling

removes unwanted bacteria and yeast from the mouth.

I recommend oil pulling on an empty stomach. If you are doing both oil pulling and

tongue scraping, I suggest you start with the oil pulling. You can use coconut oil or

sesame oil.

To do oil pulling:

• Put 1-2 tablespoons of oil in your mouth

• Swish the oil for 5-20 minutes

• Spit the oil into the trash to avoid it hardening and clogging up your sink

• Rinse your mouth with water and sea salt, then brush your teeth

GUT HEALTH 101

If you have belly bloat, weight gain, or bowel issues, or even feel tired after eating,

you may want to focus on improving your gut health by doing the following.

SOAKING ALL GRAINS, BEANS,

SEEDS, AND NUTS

This method removes phytic acid from grains, beans, seeds, and nuts. Phytic acid is

a compound that comes from the phosphorous found in plants. It leaches minerals from

your body and can cause digestive and thyroid issues.

1. Add the grains, beans, seeds, or nuts to a bowl of warm or room-

temperature water.

2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice or Bragg’s raw apple cider vinegar.

3. Soak the grains, beans, seeds, or nuts (for 12-24 hours).

4. Leave the bowl sitting on your countertop.

5. Empty the grains, beans, seeds, or nuts into a colander and rinse at least

six times to remove any remaining phytic acid.

6. Cook the grains or beans as usual, or store the seeds or nuts in your fridge

for 1-2 days.

*Remember, refer to the DO EAT LIST for approved seasonal beans and grains.

PRIMAL & PALEO CLEAN EATING

Many people have found going grain free and removing beans from their diet is

helpful for restoring digestive issues as well as balancing hormones.

This is not a requirement for all but if you desire to go grain and bean free during the

clean eating phase, simply exchange a recipe with one in your recipe guide.

If you have reactions or belly bloat when consuming beans or grains, even pseudo

grains, which are included in the program, make sure to soak using the instructions

above.

Many people who suffer from digestive issues, inflammation, joint pains, thyroid

problems, or auto-immune disease find that following a grain-free diet is beneficial.

The reason why some people don’t tolerate even gluten-free grains well is that all

grains, nuts, and beans contain phytic acid. Phytic acid is a compound that comes

from the phosphorous found in plants. Too much phytic acid can inhibit the thyroid,

hamper digestion, and leach vital minerals from the body, such as zinc and iron.

Phytic acid also interferes with the natural enzymes your body needs to digest your

food. If you are not digesting a certain food properly, your gastrointestinal system

cannot function well.

Restoring Digestive Wellness will greatly change your life. You can soak grains,

beans, and nuts during this program and journal daily to document your experience.

PROBIOTICS

I cannot stress enough the importance of a healthy digestive system for thyroid,

hormonal health, weight loss/gain, immune health, sleep, energy and focus to name a

few.

I take a probiotic daily. There are so many probiotics on the market but here are my

favorites:

1. Prescript Assist: a soil-based organism and contains many bacteria strains

including Lactobacillus Plantarum, which has been shown to reduce wall

permeability in patients with leaky gut syndrome.

2. Gut Pro: a fabulous probiotic for people who have an oversensitive

digestive system and tend to have a reaction to probiotics. Many of my

clients use this conjunction with a probiotic such as Custom Probiotics CP-

1 or Renew Life Ultimate Flora Extra Care Probiotic 50 Billion, or those from

Klaire Labs.

Always consult your doctor before taking a supplement.

CULTURED FOODS AND DRINKS

In your Recipe Guide, there are instructions for making cultured foods; however, you

can buy them at the store as well.

My favorites are:

1. Coconut water kefir such as Kevita

2. Coconut milk yogurt or coconut milk kefir

3. Inner-eco probiotic drinks

4. Body Ecology probiotic drinks

5. Bubbie’s cultured foods

6. Cultures for Health cultured and fermented foods 7. Kombucha by Synergy or Kevita

Feel free to speak to your doctor before adding any supplement

to your diet.

FOOD COMBINING

I want to mention food combining because it is a method that has helped me

improve my digestion. Food combining is essentially combining different food groups to

maximize digestion and nutrient assimilation. If you are often bloated, exhausted or

constipated, then you may find it beneficial; however, not everyone needs it. You can

learn about the principles of food combining here:

If you have chronic digestive distress, food allergies, or a lack of energy, food

combining is a great tool to implement.
