Daily Protocol Phase 1: Preparation Protocol (5-7 days before detox) Start reducing caffeine, added sugars, gluten, soy and dairy. Switch to organic chicken and turkey. No packaged foods. Phase 2: Alkalize and Detox (days 1-21) At this time, there should be no added sugars, soy, caffeine, alcohol, dairy, or gluten in your diet. Animal proteins are limited. Upon Rising Replenish yourself: stretch, deep breathing, meditation or rebounder Dry brush before shower or hot towel scrub Exercise in whatever way feels appropriate Take your Detox supplement Breakfast Herbal tea, if desired Breakfast green drink / smoothie Mid-morning Take a standing forward bend or walk break Optional: snack of your choice

I recommend having grains/beans and meats only once/day Before Bed Take probiotic Toxin Eliminator Bath, if desired If you are experiencing constipation, take 2 tbsp. ground flax or chia seeds in 6 oz. water to help stimulate morning elimination Journal about how you re feeling/energy level 2 Phase 3: Transition (Days 21 28) The Transition process is the last phase of the Detox. The purpose of this phase is to detect any trigger foods that cause discomfort in your body. You will start adding back dairy, and gluten. The protocol for doing so is below. By the end of the week, you will have introduced dairy and gluten back into your diet and you should evaluate whether you want to continue eating these foods. Trigger foods often taste great but leave you feeling not so great. They can cause mood swings, digestive upset, bloating and fatigue. The most common trigger foods are gluten and dairy. Getting clear on your triggers will help you to
create food principles you can live with for the rest of your life. During the first week of transition you will eat as you did during the detox, but we will be adding back in gluten and dairy. 3 The Transition Process This process will last for at least seven days. Here s what I want you to do: Step 1: Reintroduce gluten two times per day for the next 2 days On the first and second day of your transition week you ll introduce gluten back into your diet. Choose foods like artisan breads or whole grains and eat them 2 times per day, for two days straight. Notice how you feel immediately and over the next forty-eight hours. Keep eating as you would during detox, the only difference is that you re adding in gluten to see if it s one of your triggers. Reintroducing gluten by itself is simple. Try adding artisan bread to your lunch and then have some pasta for lunch or dinner. Don t include any dairy or added sugar yet. We want to isolate one excluded food at a time to determine if it is toxic for you. Step 2: Record Your Reactions to Gluten Use your journal sheets to record any reactions you have to gluten. This could be diarrhea, bloating, acne, foggy mind, or constipation. Not everyone reacts to gluten in the same way. You may notice symptoms immediately, hours later, or the next day. That s why we are testing gluten over the course of two days. Some things to notice are: stomach pain bowel changes smelly BMs fatigue bloating headache poor sleep moody or irritable
4 Step 3: Go back to the Detox for the next two days For the next two days eat as you would during Phase 1 of the Detox. This will allow you to normalize before you test for dairy intolerance. Step 4: Add in Dairy two times per day for the next 2 days For the next two days introduce dairy back into your diet. Eat dairy two times per day, for the next two days, and then notice how you feel. Once again, eat as you would during the detox, just add in dairy twice per day. You can do this by having Greek yogurt or some cheese with your lunch or dinner. Important: Don t eat dairy in combination with other excluded foods! This means don t eat cereal, ice cream, or baked treats. These foods contain many of the other excluded foods like sugar and gluten. Step 5: Record Your Reactions to Dairy Use your journal sheets to record any reactions you have to dairy. This could be diarrhea, bloating, skin flare-ups, mucus build-up, runny nose, constipation, etc. Again, you may notice symptoms immediately, hours later, or the next day. That s why we are testing dairy over the course of two days. Step 6: Everything Else Decide to what extent you want the remaining foods we eliminated back into your diet. Added sugars, alcohol, caffeine and processed foods are inflammatory, acidic and usually not clean choices. As you discovered while on detox, the type of foods you put into your body can be the difference between feeling energized and vibrant or feeling fatigued and worn down. If you decide to bring these foods back into your diet, listen to the feedback your body provides as to the true effects of these foods on your health and wellness. Step 7: Remove or Reduce You have two options when it comes to the food you eat going forward -- and this applies to all foods, not just the foods we eliminated during detox. The first option is that if you have a strong negative reaction to any food you can remove it from your diet completely. This can occur with healthy foods as well.
5 For example, if you have a strong negative reaction to bananas, respect that. This is your body telling you that bananas do not belong in your diet. The second option is to reduce the frequency in which you eat the food. This might be a better option if the negative reaction to the food is mild, but still noticeable. This may be something you choose to eat every once in a while, keeping in mind that it doesn t allow your body to function optimally.
