What is Detoxification? Detoxification is about resting, cleansing and nourishing the body from the inside out. By removing and eliminating toxins, then feeding your body with healthy nutrients, detoxifying can help protect you from disease and renew your ability to maintain optimum health. Give your liver some love! Your liver is your #1 detoxifying organ. It has over 500 functions! It produces bile (which helps us excrete toxins), regulates carbohydrate metabolism, assists in hormone breakdown & detoxifies EVERYTHING! There are 2 phases of liver detoxification: Phase ONE: Toxins become water soluble or weak to allow for elimination through our kidneys. Phase TWO: Elimination of toxins. Steps to maintaining good liver health: Ensure proper digestion and elimination Avoid environmental toxins/stressors Increase water and fiber intake Avoid excessive alcohol, unhealthy saturated fats (fried food) and refined sugar Ensure a healthy clean diet & appropriate supplementation 5

Where to Start? Eliminate the bad guys! In order to detoxify effectively, we need to eliminate the foods that are clogging up our system. Remember, we detoxify every day! Every minute of every day our body is dealing with foreign invaders, from the air we breathe to the food we eat, to what we drink and the chemicals we come in contact with. If we don t eliminate the foods that cause the most stress on our system, how can we begin to eliminate toxic buildup and create a space for our cells to thrive? Here s what s got to go: GLUTEN pasta (gluten free is okay), bread, cereal, baked goods made with white flour and white sugar, whole wheat products DAIRY milk, cheese, yogurt, cream SUGAR all processed sugars (raw honey is ok) PROCESSED FOODS canned/boxed foods ALCOHOL for the 10-Day Body Reset Detox CAFFEINE coffee, black tea (limit to 1 per day) HIGH FAT FOODS anything deep fried RED MEAT unless it s grass fed beef/hormone-antibiotic free Refer to the Kitchen Clean Out Cheat Sheet for more information about what to keep and what to toss from your kitchen. 6

TIPS FOR SUCCESS Be gentle with yourself. Your body isn t used to eating this way so it s important to shop, prep and plan ahead of time so you aren t rushing during meal time Let family and friends know you are treating yourself to a 10-Day Body Reset Detox and will be focusing on you for the next 10 days Include 30 minutes of walking or some type of exercise daily during the 10-Day Body Reset Detox. Afterwards, continue with your regular exercise routine. Sweating helps to release toxins and improve the lymphatic system You many experience light-headedness, headaches or feel fatigued during your 3-Day Liquid Cleanse. This is normal as your body is releasing toxins. Suggestions for evening activity journal writing or meditation (to help increase melatonin production). Notice how you are feeling, physically and emotionally. Enjoy a nightly Epsom salt bath: 2 cups Epsom salts in hot water. Emerge as much of your body as you can. Relax for 20-30 minutes. When you get out, do not towel dry. Wrap yourself in a big towel and lay down for 30 minutes. This will allow your body to further detoxify through sweating. 17
