Getting Ready

Let’s talk about preparation!

This may be a good time to revisit your goals and double-check your stats such as weight, and any other health issues, maybe get blood tests and also make note of any fitness outcomes you want to achieve. 

Consider things like warning your family and friends that you’re about to embark on a detox program, and use up all the naughty foods in your fridge and pantry in the weeks ahead. 

Giving yourself a planned time and date to begin, and booking that in your calendar will also help you get psyched and set your body clock.   

These are all important steps in your preparation, and securing your results. 

Note: If you have not tried it already, check the program calculator button below to check if you’ve got everything you need. 

Three Key Focus Areas

You may have received your program already and if so, hopefully, you’ve had a chance to read the User Guide.

There are three key areas that we’d like to highlight in preparation before beginning the program.

1: The four stages

It is important to understand the four parts or ‘stages’ of the detox program well in advance so you can see the entire roadmap ahead before setting out on your journey.

They are as follows:

Stage 1: Preparation – Elimination Diet
Over a period of three days, you gradually eliminate all gluten, meats, processed food, legumes, nuts, and grain products from your diet. This includes all junk food, bread, pasta, beans, cheese, and any other refined, packaged, canned, or preserved products.

Stage 2: Lead-in
The herbs are taken at a lower dose to create a smooth transition into the program. Once you get through these first few days your body can move into the cleansing stage comfortably.

Stage 3: Ultimate Detox
You will be taking up to 20 capsules twice daily while following the diet and recipes provided. You eat a very pure, fresh whole-food diet.

You should find that your bowel movements increase in urgency, size, and frequency. Many people experience between 4 and 6 semi-solid bowel movements daily. Impactions (or plaque as it is often referred to) can start to appear.

Stage 4: Follow up
The elimination diet in preparation is reversed and you can return to normal eating. A good course of probiotics is recommended along with a long-term approach to a non-toxin-accumulating diet. The signs and symptoms of toxicity are made clear and easy to avoid in the future.

In this short video Brett talks about his preparation, what foods are eaten and what foods are eliminated on the herbal detox program.

2. Food preparation

Planning your food is important. The diet on the program is all fruit and vegetables. In the User guide on page 15 is a shopping list of food you can eat and from page 18 onwards, lots of great recipes to try.

Whilst thinking about food, do you have a blender? Smoothies are great on the program. If you don’t have a blender you might like to consider the Ladyship Blender Click Here

A detox program is just like a car service – if you get your car serviced regularly it runs well in between. The mechanics flush your car’s system through and change the oil/water. When we do a Detox we flush out the toxins, fill ourselves up with beautiful, live fresh food, and build our bodies.

3. Other Major Considerations

Detoxing Symptoms:
When you start to take the herbal capsules, you may go through a period of feeling withdrawals. This is your body releasing toxins from its cells and is completely normal. The severity depends on the state of your body, how clean it is and what needs to be flushed out. Everyone is different. The symptoms you may experience are headaches, nausea, feeling grumpy, and under the weather. I am pleased to say that this passes so don’t worry when it hits you (or if it hits you) !

Coffee (see page 9 of your User Guide):
It’s not necessary to stop coffee on the program, but if you are a regular coffee drinker, you may be choosing to go “cold turkey” and take coffee out of your diet. You may wish to use the Detox as a way to reduce your coffee intake or switch to decaf. This is fine, just be prepared for slightly harder detox symptoms. Doing a full body cleanse on top of stopping coffee may give you stronger detox symptoms. You just need to be aware of this.

Alcohol (see page 9 of your User Guide) :
By stopping alcohol, you may get the same, more intensive detox symptoms as with stopping coffee. If you are able to cut down your alcohol intake then please try. However, for some people, stopping may be too much, so we recommend no more the 1 drink if you’re a daily drinker, and feel the need.

Snacks:
Having small snacks available is important however once you start to take the herbal capsules you may find your hunger reduces. Don’t eat for eating’s sake. Page 33 of your User Guide has ideas for small snacks.

Exercise during your detox:
Continuing with your normal routine is important. However, make exercise light rather heavy and intense. Yoga is a perfect option as are walking and Tai Chi. These activities will improve the flow of energy through your body and improve the release of toxic matter.

So tomorrow, you can start the elimination diet, and don’t forget, if you have any questions at any time, use the Live Chat button on the website.

Cabbage Health Benefits

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) Health Benfits

2 days ago4Minutes1252Words8ViewsCabbage, a cruciferous vegetable, offers numerous gut health benefits, largely due to its rich nutritional profile. It provides dietary fiber, antioxidants, and important vitamins that contribute to maintaining a healthy digestive system. Here’s an overview of the key gut health benefits of cabbage, along with the role of glutamine: 1. Rich in Dietary Fiber Cabbage is an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber plays a crucial role in supporting gut health by: Promoting healthy digestion: Insoluble fiber helps bulk up stool and move it through the intestines, preventing constipation and ensuring regular bowel movements. Supporting beneficial gut bacteria: Soluble fiber is fermented by gut bacteria, which produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate. These SCFAs fuel the cells of the colon, promoting a healthy gut lining and reducing inflammation. 2. Antioxidants and Anti-inflammatory Properties Cabbage contains antioxidants such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, and flavonoids, which help reduce oxidative stress in the gut. This is important because chronic inflammation in the gut can lead to digestive disorders like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. Cabbage’s anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the gut lining and maintain a healthy gut environment. 3. Supports Gut Lining and Mucosal Health Cabbage, especially when consumed in its raw form, contains glutamine, an amino acid that has been shown to support gut health. Glutamine is essential for maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining. It helps to: Repair the gut lining: Glutamine supports the epithelial cells of the intestines, aiding in their repair and regeneration. This is especially important for those with leaky gut syndrome or those suffering from inflammation-related digestive disorders. Enhance gut permeability: Glutamine aids in maintaining the balance of the gut’s permeability, ensuring that nutrients pass through properly while preventing harmful substances from entering the bloodstream. 4. Helps in Digestive Enzyme Production Cabbage contains a significant amount of vitamin U (also known as S-methylmethionine), which can help boost the production of digestive enzymes. These enzymes aid in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, which is vital for optimal digestive health. 5. Supports Detoxification Cabbage, particularly the variety known as sauerkraut, supports detoxification through its high content of glucosinolate compounds. These compounds help activate detoxifying enzymes in the liver, which supports the overall health of the digestive system by helping the body eliminate waste more efficiently. Role of Glutamine in Gut Health from Cabbage: Cabbage as a Glutamine Source: While glutamine is found in various foods, including meat, fish, and dairy, cabbage is one of the plant-based sources that can contribute to its intake. Glutamine in cabbage supports gut cells and helps to maintain a healthy mucosal layer in the intestines. This, in turn, protects the gut from irritants and helps heal the gut lining after it has been damaged by inflammation or stress. Intestinal Health: Glutamine is the preferred fuel for intestinal cells (enterocytes), which helps maintain the integrity of the gut barrier. This function is critical for individuals suffering from gut disorders like IBS, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis, as glutamine helps reduce gut permeability and improve overall digestive function. Conclusion Including cabbage in your diet, whether raw, cooked, or fermented, offers numerous benefits for gut health. It provides dietary fiber, antioxidants, and glutamine, which help support healthy digestion, reduce inflammation, repair the gut lining, and maintain optimal gut barrier function. This makes cabbage a powerful ally for anyone looking to improve their digestive health naturally.
