30 DAY CLEANSE
WHY LEMON?
Why is Lemon in your water part of the cleanse??
Taken internally, Lemon provides cleansing and digestive benefits and supports healthy respiratory function!
Its a very gentle but powerful way to cleanse your body – plus it tastes great and helps you drink more water!
*Make sure to only drink citrus oils in glass or stainless cups as it breaks down plastics (but not people :))
WHY LLV?
Why is the LLV so amazing??
Watch this short 6 min video to learn more.
(Dr Axe used to be with doTERRA. For legal reasons he had to choose to give up his team in order to keep teaching about oils on his site. But he loves the products!)
WHY ZENDOCRINE DETOXIFICATION BLEND?
Lets talk about PREPARING our bodies with ZENDOCRINE.
Before we go in and kill the bad guys, candida and other junk with GX Assist we need to make sure that the pathways our bodies have for flushing these things out are clear. Our body cleanses and detoxes naturally on its own not only through the digestive system/colon but the liver, kidneys, lungs and the skin. Without proper preparation you can have skin outbreaks, stomach pain, and most commonly just feel completely awful when you cleanse We don’t want to trap those toxins inside!!
Lets open up the “chimneys” before we turn the fire on!
Zendocrine is a whole-food based complex that is all about supporting the cleansing and filtering functions of the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, and skin . Toxicity in our bodies come from many places such as food, environment and beauty products. Pesticides, petrochemicals, toxins in the air, chemicals in beauty products (anything with fragrance or color), anything with “fragrance”, exposure to heavy metals from water, food, vaccines, chemicals in the environment, the list goes on (and on). We can do a lot to lower our toxic load with healthy choices but our bodies still need support.
The largest organ of the body, the skin, acts as a defensive barrier and gate keeper. The lungs help filter the air we breathe of particulates and pollutants. The gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the colon also performs significant cleansing and filtering of toxins entering our bodies through the food we eat. If toxins make it past these organs on the first line of defense, other organs such as the kidneys and liver perform additional filtering functions.
Take two (2) capsules daily, one each with morning and evening meals. For optimal benefits, avoid increased toxic load to your organs via your food supply by reducing the amount of foods prepared with artificial colors, preservatives, and sweeteners, and by increasing your consumption of pure water throughout the day. Zendocrine’s benefits can be enhanced by taking with Zendocrine Blend or Softgels. (thats why we take both :))
WHY TERRAZYME?
Why take a digestive enzyme?
Enzymes help cause biochemical reactions in the body and are crucial in processes like metabolism and detoxification. Fresh, raw foods naturally contain enzymes.
However, when food is cooked and processed, these enzymes can be destroyed. Think of enzymes as workers on a factory line. The fewer workers you have, the less productive your line is. Slow downs and back-logs can occur.
But the more workers you have, the more efficient and productive your line is. With DigestZen Terrazyme you will get the enzymes you need to aid in digestion and support your gastrointestinal tract’s overall health.
Even after this 30 day cleanse, consider continuing the use of this product, especially with meals that lack raw fruits and vegetables.
WHY ZENDOCRINE OIL?
Why do we take Zendocrine oil in Phase 1??
To support our liver and kidneys, which are key to having healthy detox pathways.
WHY GX ASSIST?
In Phase 2 add in Big Daddy GX Assist. We’ve cleared the exit path for toxins and now its time to kill them and move them on OUT!
The benefits of GX Assist start with its proprietary blend of powerfully detoxifying essential oils. The combination of Oregano, Melaleuca, Lemon, Lemongrass, Peppermint, and Thyme essential oils help purify and cleanse the digestive system, and there is evidence that it may even improve internal microbial balance.
Caprylic acid, a lipid derived from coconut oil, has been used for decades to support digestive health. When combined with the proprietary essential oil combination, it helps create a healthy digestive environment.
***TIP: Unless you are an experienced cleanser just take 1 of these a day. Take with food in your stomach.
WHY PB ASSIST?
WHY DDR PRIME?
* Improves cellular healthy and function (this is what we want to stay cancer free)
* Includes anti-inflammatory oils like Frankincense
* Antioxidant oils like Clove
* Immune boosting
* Reduces oxidative stress to DNA (keeps you healthy!)
SUGAR
Let’s talk about sweeteners.
Three great sweeteners, made from food that do NOT raise blood sugar and do NOT feed candida:
* Stevia
* Etythritol
* Xylitol
Pretty much all the others can either spike your blood sugar which causes weight gain or feed candida. Even those that are 0 carbs like aspartame and Splenda – avoid these!!! They are also made from chemicals and not food and are bad for you in general too. Be aware of products with stevia that also have fillers that are starchy and add carbs like dextrose. I use the Sweet Leaf brand clear liquid .
***Do not get in the mindset of trying to recreate junk foods with healthy ingredients. Instead focus on what you can have – veggies meat and eggs.
When I’m fighting sugar cravings I often have some sparkling water or green tea with stevia or a piece of Slim and Sassy gum. The gum has saved me MANY times!!
SNACKS
Here are some ideas …
* Celery. Plain, with almond butter or Kite Hill dairy free cream cheese (its $ but really good!)
* Almonds, pecans or macadamia nuts (avoid cashews, pistachios and especially peanuts which are high in mold which then feeds candida)
* Cut up bell pepper.
* Boiled eggs or make some deviled eggs!
* Raw broccoli or cauliflower
* zucchini or kale chips (google for recipes, they are easy!)
* Sliced cucumber
* Nitrate free lunch meat rolled with avocado slices (you could add bacon too)
There’s more, so please add to this list!
Have you ever noticed that when you focus on what you can’t or shouldn’t be eating while on the cleanse that you actually want more of it!? Below is a list of cleanse-friendly foods!
If it helps you, create a list of things that you can eat and stick it on your fridge so that you don’t feel limited.

HEALTHY FATS
Fat got a bad rap for a long time. If you are 35 or older you probably remember the low-fat diet phase we went through as a culture. Thankfully we know more now and FAT IS BACK!
But not all fats are created equal. It is beneficial to fill our diet with healthy fats. They satisfy our appetite and are good for our brains and hearts.
Bad fats can raise cholesterol in an unhealthy way, raise inflammation in the body and cause pain and sickness.
HEALTHY FATS:
Avocados
Avocado oil (this is our main cooking oil. Costco)
Whole eggs
Wild caught salmon
Coconuts/coconut milk
Unrefined coconut oil
Extra virgin olive oil
Nuts like Pecans, walnuts and macademia
Nut butters
Butter
Gee
Cocoa butter
Dark meat chicken
UNHEALTHY FATS/OILS:
Canola
Soy
“Vegetable oil”
Hydrogenated oils
Trans fat
Margarine
Shortening/crisco
Cottonseed oil
Sunflower oil
Sesame oil
Peanut oil
Palm oil
DRY BRUSHING
Have you heard of dry brushing? It is a simple and easy way to support your lymphatic system (moves toxins out of your body) and improve your skin as well as how you FEEL! I try to do this several times a week as part of my ongoing cleansing and detox. It is a great habit to add during the cleanse and going forward!
Interesting info: Your lymph fluid flows around your body similar to how your blood travels in your veins. It is vital to keep it moving and unblocked so toxins don’t accumulate. More lymph collects on the left side of the body and breast cancer is more prevalent on the left side as well….coincidence? In my opinion, no. Keeping your lymphatic fluid moving in your arms and around the breasts is a good idea. It can also tighten up that skin under your arms!
OOPS!
Have you gone off track with food? That is no reason to quit! You get to start over every time you eat! Shake it off and give yourself some grace – it is really hard to change especially if your body is used to sugar and caffeine. Just do your best! Be determined to finish and feel better!
Food can be enjoyable (and should be!) but its main job is to fuel our body.
Every bite we take either helps or hurts our health. You deserve to be treated well. Remind yourself of that when its time to make a decision about what to eat.
