Goal: detox from heavy metals (brain & body) & from bad gut bacteria
Morning heavy metal Detox from brain & body
+
[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]What & How:
1 tbsp Bentonite Clay mixed with 1 glass of water
Use plastic or Glass (NO metal tbsp!) to mix, because bentonite clay binds to metals
Why:
It removes heavy metals/ harmful chemicals and impurities from our body (environmental toxins).
- mercury
- lead
- cadmium
- arsenic
Simply put, clay has an electro negative charge, whilst impurities and toxins are electro positive. (removal from metals from food (Eating a lot of fish — especially larger species — is linked to higher levels of mercury in the body.), air or water pollution, as well as medicine, food containers with improper coating, industrial exposure, or lead-based paint.)
It removes harmful bacteria from our body
Tips: Clay Face Mask:
Take about 1 (plastic or glass) teaspoon of the bentonite clay powder and about 1 teaspoon of water or apple cider vinegar and put it in or (plastic or glass) bowl or cup. Mix the the two ingredients well, until it forms a paste consistency.
Apply the bentonite clay mask to your face.
Leave the mask on for about 20 minutes. Rinse off the mask, using just water.
Put some good oil to remoisturize the skin after the mask (e.g. almond oil)
When:
First thing Each morning on empty stomach
1 hour before or after eating (because it draws things out of our body)
2 hours before or after medication (because it draws things out of our body)
the medicinal use of clay minerals as antibacterial agents

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]What & How:
1 bunch of celery (LOW lectin vegetable)
Rinse the celery and run it through a juicer.
Drink immediately for best results.
Alternatively, you can chop the celery and blend it in a high-speed blender until smooth. Don’t add water for the greatest healing benefits, use only celery.
Strain the blended celery well through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth or nut milk bag and drink immediately.
Why:
It detoxifies the liver
It replenishes our electrolytes (when we are fat adapted we drain fats together with toxins and our electrolytes (potassium, magnesium & salt))
Celery juice contains vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, water and smaller amounts of other vitamins and minerals.
Celery restores the liver’s bile production capability which is designed to break down fats into fatty acids (fat for fuel).
When:
1 hour after consuming our bentonite clay mix
1/2 hour before eating
Celery reduces oxidative stress[/text_block][/op_liveeditor_element]

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]What & How:
Celtic Sea Salt
(to prevent keto flue, see below)
Why:
When you’re on a high fat, low carb diet, you’re eliminating most processed foods that contain high levels of sodium. Your body needs sodium to thrive. Stay hydrated, keep your energy up, and beat the Keto flu by using Real Salt liberally.
Since sodium chloride (salt) has several important functions in the body, it’s necessary to consume it from foods to maintain optimal health. When fat adapted we loose fats, together with its toxins and electrolytes (=salt, magnesium and potassium).
We have to replenish our electrolytes: including salt, while becoming fat adapted, to prevent the keto flu.

1 Avocado (only 2g of carbs: max 50g carbs total/ day on high fat low carb diet)
Why:
To transform to fat for fuel
Avocado is a high-fat low-carb food
Avocado Is Incredibly Nutritious:
- Vitamin K: 26% of the daily value (DV)
- Folate: 20% of the DV
- Vitamin C: 17% of the DV
- Potassium: 14% of the DV
- Vitamin B5: 14% of the DV
- Vitamin B6: 13% of the DV
- Vitamin E: 10% of the DV
- It also contains small amounts of magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorous and vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin)
Avocado’s Oleic acid, has been associated with reduced inflammation and shown to have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer
Avocado consumption is associated with better diet quality and nutrient intake, and lower metabolic syndrome risk
We need fat to be able to absorb our four fat-soluble vitamins in the human diet:
- Vitamin A
(purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
(food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter) - Vitamin D
(purpose: bone maintenance, immune system regulation)
(Food sources: Found in animal-sourced foods, such as eggs and fish oil, and produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight.) - Vitamin E
(Purpose: a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E protects your cells against premature ageing and damage by free radicals)
(Food sources: avocados, peanut butter, margarine, fatty fish and fish liver oil.) - Vitamin K
(purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)

Romaine Lettuce (Low Lectin Vegetable)
Make a salad
Why:
Although it’s low in fiber, it’s high in minerals, such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and potassium. It’s naturally low in sodium. Plus, romaine lettuce is packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. It’s a good source of beta carotene, which converts into vitamin A in the body.
- Vitamin A
(purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
(food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter) - Vitamin K
(purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)
(Food sources: parsley, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, lettuce (= low lectins vegetables), egg yolks, butter, liver) - Vitamin C helps support the immune system, is high in antioxidants and helps keep bones and teeth strong.
- Calcium is necessary for the building and maintenance of bones, muscle function, nerve function, and blood clotting.
- Vitamin K is also necessary for blood clotting. It works together with calcium to prevent bone mineral loss and fractures due to osteoporosis.
- Vitamin A (from beta carotene) is a vital nutrient, necessary for health. An antioxidant, vitamin A supports cell growth and reproductive health. It also helps to maintain the heart, kidneys, and lungs. Vitamin A also supports the eyes.
- Folate is a B vitamin, which supports cell division, the production of DNA, and genetic material. Folate deficiency in pregnant women can lead to complications with pregnancy, including premature birth, low birth weight, or the birth defect spina bifida
- Phosphorus works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.
- Magnesium helps enzymes function and relaxes the muscles in your body. It works with calcium to build tissue.
- Potassium is an electrolyte that helps your heart beat regularly. It supports nerve function and helps your muscles contract normally. Potassium also helps your cells to move, and utilize, nutrients efficiently.

Keep your Omega 6 vs Omega 3 balance through adding omega 3
Add Omega 3 From:
-pure Cod liver oil
-Krill (has no heavy metal poisoning like omega 3 from fish oil)
-grass fed beef
-Beef liver
Why:
The Omega 3 vs Omega 6 ratio has been abused. The prevalence of vegetable oil and processed grains in Western diets has thrown the ratio way off, contributing to chronic inflammation, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, heart attack, and many of the other common health problems
To up your ratio, eat plenty low-mercury fatty fish like sockeye salmon, go for grass-fed butter and meat, swap omega 6 oils for those higher in omega 3s, and always check the ingredients when you buy packaged food.
Omega 3s are great for your cells. They are an integral part of cells membranes throughout the entire body and affect the cell receptors in these membranes.
Omega 3s also provide a launchpad for making hormones that regulate blood, heart, and genetic function.
Studies show that omega 3s help prevent heart disease and stroke, may help control lupus, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis, and may protect against cancer
For most people, an omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of 4:1 is ideal– that’s 4 omega 6s for every 1 omega 3 [17]. Anti-aging experts suggest going even further, maintaining a 1:1 ratio or higher in favor of omega 3s. The average American eats a ratio of anywhere from 12:1 to 25:1 omega 6 to omega 3
Omega 3 during pregnancy vs higher IQ children

Romaine Lettuce (Low Lectin Vegetable)
Make a salad
Why:
Although it’s low in fiber, it’s high in minerals, such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and potassium. It’s naturally low in sodium. Plus, romaine lettuce is packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. It’s a good source of beta carotene, which converts into vitamin A in the body.
- Vitamin A
(purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
(food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter) - Vitamin K
(purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)
(Food sources: parsley, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, lettuce (= low lectins vegetables), egg yolks, butter, liver) - Vitamin C helps support the immune system, is high in antioxidants and helps keep bones and teeth strong.
- Calcium is necessary for the building and maintenance of bones, muscle function, nerve function, and blood clotting.
- Vitamin K is also necessary for blood clotting. It works together with calcium to prevent bone mineral loss and fractures due to osteoporosis.
- Vitamin A (from beta carotene) is a vital nutrient, necessary for health. An antioxidant, vitamin A supports cell growth and reproductive health. It also helps to maintain the heart, kidneys, and lungs. Vitamin A also supports the eyes.
- Folate is a B vitamin, which supports cell division, the production of DNA, and genetic material. Folate deficiency in pregnant women can lead to complications with pregnancy, including premature birth, low birth weight, or the birth defect spina bifida
- Phosphorus works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.
- Magnesium helps enzymes function and relaxes the muscles in your body. It works with calcium to build tissue.
- Potassium is an electrolyte that helps your heart beat regularly. It supports nerve function and helps your muscles contract normally. Potassium also helps your cells to move, and utilize, nutrients efficiently.

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”undefined” align=”left”]What & Why:
- Phenylalanine: Phenylalanine is a precursor for the neurotransmitters tyrosine, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. It plays an integral role in the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the production of other amino acids.
- Valine: Valine is one of three branched-chain amino acids, meaning it has a chain branching off to one side of its molecular structure. Valine helps stimulate muscle growth and regeneration and is involved in energy production.
- Threonine: Threonine is a principal part of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, which are important components of the skin and connective tissue. It also plays a role in fat metabolism and immune function.
- Tryptophan: Though often associated with causing drowsiness, tryptophan has many other functions. It’s needed to maintain proper nitrogen balance and is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates your appetite, sleep and mood.
- Methionine: Methionine plays an important role in metabolism and detoxification. It’s also necessary for tissue growth and the absorption of zinc and selenium, minerals that are vital to your health.
- Leucine: Like valine, leucine is a branched-chain amino acid that is critical for protein synthesis and muscle repair. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulates wound healing and produces growth hormones.
- Isoleucine: The last of the three branched-chain amino acids, isoleucine is involved in muscle metabolism and is heavily concentrated in muscle tissue. It’s also important for immune function, hemoglobin production and energy regulation.
- Lysine: Lysine plays major roles in protein synthesis, hormone and enzyme production and the absorption of calcium. It’s also important for energy production, immune function and the production of collagen and elastin.
- Histidine: Histidine is used to produce histamine, a neurotransmitter that is vital to immune response, digestion, sexual function and sleep-wake cycles. It’s critical for maintaining the myelin sheath, a protective barrier that surrounds your nerve cells.
As you can see, essential amino acids are at the core of many vital processes.
The US recommended daily allowances per 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of body weight for the nine essential amino acids are
- Histidine: 14 mg
- Isoleucine: 19 mg
- Leucine: 42 mg
- Lysine: 38 mg
- Methionine (+ the non-essential amino acid cysteine): 19 mg
- Phenylalanine (+ the non-essential amino acid tyrosine): 33 mg
- Threonine: 20 mg
- Tryptophan: 5 mg
- Valine: 24 mg
Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are referred to as complete proteins.
Complete protein sources include:
- Meat
- Seafood
- Poultry
- Eggs
- Dairy Products
Quinoa and buckwheat are plant-based foods that contain all nine essential amino acids, making them complete protein sources as well, but you need to eat a lot to reach your daily value.

Since sodium chloride (salt) has several important functions in the body, it’s necessary to consume it from foods to maintain optimal health. When fat adapted we loose fats, together with its toxins and electrolytes (=salt, magnesium and potassium).
We have to replenish our electrolytes: including salt, while becoming fat adapted, to prevent the keto flu.

1 tbsp grass fed Butter (e.g.: Kerrygold)
Bake in grass fed butter
Why:
To transform to fat for fuel
To get high quality saturated fats as building blocks of our cells and brain
We need fat to be able to absorb our four fat-soluble vitamins in the human diet:
- Vitamin A
(purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
(food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter) - Vitamin D
(purpose: bone maintenance, immune system regulation)
(Food sources: Found in animal-sourced foods, such as eggs and fish oil, and produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight.) - Vitamin E
(Purpose: a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E protects your cells against premature ageing and damage by free radicals)
(Food sources: avocados, peanut butter, margarine, fatty fish and fish liver oil.) - Vitamin K
(purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)
(Food sources: parsley, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, lettuce (= low lectins vegetables), egg yolks, butter, liver)Grass-fed butter contains higher amounts of powerful antioxidants, including beta carotene, as well as higher amounts of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, than regular butter
