Organ System
Inflammation is your body's healing response. When it becomes chronic — driven by diet, stress, and toxins — it underlies heart disease, diabetes, autoimmunity, and cognitive decline.
Celery's apigenin and luteolin gently calm inflammation. Its natural sodium salts support adrenal and kidney function — very different from added table salt.
Preparation: Juice with leaves and skin on. Consume within 20 minutes of pressing.
Punicalagins are among the most potent antioxidants in any food, supporting endothelial function and helping reduce arterial plaque buildup over time.
The deep blue anthocyanins cross the blood-brain barrier and support neuronal membrane integrity. Wild blueberries contain roughly double the antioxidant density of cultivated.
Curcumin blocks NF-κB, the master inflammation switch, and supports liver phase II detoxification. Its bioavailability is poor on its own — black pepper raises absorption by ~2,000%, and dietary fat further improves it.
Dosage: Culinary: ½–1 tsp daily in food or juice. Therapeutic: 500–1000mg curcumin extract with piperine, 1–2x daily.
Ginger stimulates digestion, calms nausea, supports circulation, and reduces inflammatory markers. Shogaols (more concentrated in dried ginger) cross the blood-brain barrier.
Dosage: Culinary: 1–2 inches fresh root daily. Tea: 1 tsp grated in hot water, 2–3x daily.
The morning protocol juice. Beet nitrates relax the vasculature, turmeric quiets inflammation (always with a pinch of black pepper if added), ginger stimulates digestion, and citrus drives phase I/II liver detoxification. Drink within 20 minutes of pressing.
ginger (1-inch fresh root) · turmeric (1-inch fresh root) · orange (2 whole) · lemon (1 whole) · green-apple (2 whole) · carrot (1 large) · beet (1 medium)
A low-sugar afternoon option for the Declining Zone (2–6pm). Only one fruit — a green apple — to keep glucose response gentle. Chlorophyll from greens supports oxygenation and gentle detox into evening.
cucumber (1 large, skin on) · green-apple (1 whole) · celery (3 stalks) · ginger (½-inch root) · lemon (½ whole) · leafy-greens (1 small handful kale or spinach)
ACV blunts post-meal glucose spikes. Avocado's monounsaturated fat slows carbohydrate absorption. Cinnamon supports insulin sensitivity. Eaten before the main meal, this salad changes the glucose curve of everything that follows.
Dressing: EVOO, apple cider vinegar, fresh lime juice, ½ tsp cinnamon (Ceylon only), pinch of sea salt
