A THREE DAY SPRING CLEANSING DIET

Spring is nature’s new year. Download this free PDF to start a self care cleansing diet today. Keep a food journal from Day 1 so you can track which foods cause reactions and which foods support your energy levels.

Follow the plan to the best of your ability. Stress can inflame your intestinal lining, so gentle consistency is important. Keep a journal, binder or spreadsheet to monitor supplements. Reduce supplements if you experience strong detox side effects such as fatigue, headaches, digestive changes or sleep disturbance.

This process takes time, so adjust as needed. We begin by strengthening your foundation with daily detox tools and identifying supportive foods.

Foods That Support Gut Health

Coconut Oil: Cook with coconut oil and consume up to 3 tablespoons daily if tolerated.

Pumpkin Seeds: Consume 1/4 cup daily or prepare pumpkin seed milk in a blender.

Cloves and Cinnamon: Add to meals or smoothies to naturally reduce microbes.

Turmeric: Add 1 tablespoon to meals for antimicrobial and anti inflammatory support.

Maine Coast Sea Vegetables: Add kelp, dulse or sea vegetable blends to meals.

Chlorophyll: Add 1 tablespoon to water twice daily to support energy.

Supplements

  • Probiotics
  • Liver Support
  • Adrenal Support
  • Gut Killers

Food Combining Guide

Fruit

Fruit digests quickly. Eat fruit alone to avoid fermentation that leads to gas and sluggish digestion.

Starches and Vegetables

Eat starches with vegetables or a small amount of fat. Do not mix starches with protein.

Protein and Vegetables

Protein digests best with vegetables and healthy fats. Avoid adding starch to protein meals.

Soaking Nuts, Grains and Seeds

Soak your grains and seeds to reduce phytic acid and improve digestion.

How to soak:

  • Cover grains, beans, seeds or nuts with warm water.
  • Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or raw apple cider vinegar.
  • Soak for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Rinse well and cook or store in the refrigerator.

Smoothies

Blend ingredients until smooth and add ice if desired. Use organic ingredients whenever possible. Add protein powder, hemp seeds or superfoods for added nutrition.
