Scan to Download
analogous to a long-overdue bath, invigorating the cells and
rejuvenating health.

Detoxification Understanding

Detox is not widely acknowledged in mainstream medicine,

often seen as a fad. However, the accumulation of
environmental toxins affects all human health, necessitating
detox programs like CLEAN7.

FAD vs. FDA

The author discusses the challenges of distinguishing

between FDA-approved treatments and emerging health
trends, emphasizing the need for critical thinking regarding
medical practices and detoxification.

The Oxymoron of an “Ancient Fad”

Detox practices have roots in ancient medical systems like

Ayurveda and have proven their effectiveness over millennia,
contrasting with the perception of detox as a modern trend.

Detox Means What?

Scan to Download
The primary misunderstanding around detox in Western
medicine stemmed from its relegation to addiction treatment.
However, evaluating toxicity and supporting the body's detox
processes is crucial for overall health.

Do We Need to Detox?

Modern lifestyles expose individuals to a plethora of toxins,

leading to various health issues. The need to promote the
body’s detox processes is greater than ever.

The Cumulative Effect

Daily exposure to toxic chemicals affects health and

contributes to chronic diseases. Supporting detoxification
systems is essential for maintaining balance and vitality.

The Good News

The body has a natural capability to eliminate toxins, but

modern lifestyles can hinder this process. CLEAN7 aims to
optimize detoxification by providing the necessary support.

Conclusion

CLEAN7 is framed as a foundational tool for enhancing

well-being through detoxification. The subsequent chapters
will detail the program's principles, daily guidelines, and how
to maintain the benefits beyond the initial week. The author
views medicine as a restoration of natural health, with nature
as a guiding force in healing.

Example
Key Point:Detoxification is crucial for restoring
health and vitality.

foggy and sluggish. You decide to commit to the
CLEAN7 detox program for seven days. As you replace
your typical morning coffee with a refreshing herbal tea,
your body begins to feel lighter. Midway through the
week, you notice your mental clarity returning, energy
levels soaring, and even your mood brightening. This
newfound vitality reflects the program's core principle:
detoxification is essential for eliminating accumulated
toxins, optimizing your health, and restoring your
body's natural balance.

by Becoming Present

Detox Your Mind by Becoming Present

Introduction to Negative Thoughts

The author shares personal experiences of battling a

relentless stream of negative thoughts, which drained his
energy and hindered his recovery while training in New
York. He emphasizes the impact of these thoughts on
physical reactions, like tension and elevated heart rates,
stemming from an ongoing fight-or-flight response triggered
by mental scenarios rather than actual danger.

Quest for Understanding

The pursuit of answers led him to explore psychiatry,

self-help, and concepts from quantum physics, highlighting
the notion that thoughts can manifest reality. Despite
attempts at visualization and positive thinking, the negative

Scan to Download
thoughts persisted, indicating a widespread mental challenge
many face.

Physical Activity and Mindfulness

Engaging in running and breathing techniques offered

temporary relief by bringing the author to a trance-like state,
allowing a break from negative thoughts. However, an ankle
injury revealed the fragility of this approach.

Introduction to Flow State

Discovering the concept of “flow” through Mihaly

Csikszentmihalyi's work illuminated the importance of being
present, where individuals can immerse themselves in
activities to the point of losing track of thoughts altogether.

Meditation as a Solution

A pivotal encounter introduced him to meditation, which

offered a path to quieting the mind. Despite initial struggles
with traditional meditation, a transformative experience with
a meditation teacher demonstrated the power of pure
presence and the profound sense of peace it can yield.

Scan to Download
Understanding Ama

The author connects the accumulation of toxic substances

(ama) in the body to the persistence of negative thoughts,
suggesting that reducing physical ama can facilitate mental
clarity.

Three Simple Meditation Techniques

To cultivate a practice of presence, the author proposes three

easy meditation exercises that can enhance mindfulness:
1.
The Anchor
: Spend seven minutes focusing on the body, breath, and
surroundings to anchor attention in the present.
2.
The Anchor in Motion
: Incorporate the practice into daily activities by being aware
of physical sensations (like feeling your feet) while engaged
in conversations or tasks.
3.
The Ruskin School of Acting Repetition Exercise
: A partner-based exercise to foster focus on shared

Scan to Download
experiences through simple repetition of observations,
transitioning through external details, physical behavior, and
emotional expressions without overthinking.

Conclusion

The exercises cultivate a greater ability to be present, reduce

mental distractions, and foster connections with oneself and
others. They serve as effective tools during the CLEAN7
program and beyond, enhancing overall well-being by
training the “presence muscle”.

Scan to Download
Critical Thinking
Key Point:The relationship between mental state and
physical health is highlighted through the author's
experiences with negative thoughts.
Critical Interpretation:While Junger suggests that
thoughts directly impact physical conditions and that
practices like meditation can mitigate these effects, one
should be cautious in fully accepting this causal link.
The complexity of mental health and its interplay with
physical health may not be sufficiently addressed
through personal anecdotes or simplistic solutions.
Psychological research, such as studies on cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT), indicates that the mind-body
connection is indeed significant but also requires a
multi-faceted approach involving therapy and
medication in many cases (Friedman, 2019). Therefore,
while the promotion of mindfulness and meditation is
valuable, readers should consider a broader range of
treatment options and the need for individualized
approaches when addressing mental health challenges.

7 Now What?

Congratulations!

You have successfully completed the CLEAN7 program.

This achievement is significant, as it involved breaking
deep-seated habits and questioning the status quo of your
lifestyle. Your efforts have disrupted the influx of toxins in
your diet and environment while enhancing your body's
detoxification processes. Through an elimination diet, afgest
with Ayurvedic dosha personalization and intermittent
fasting, you've initiated beneficial changes in your body.
Signs of improvement include weight loss, enhanced skin
and hair health, better sleep, mood stabilization, and overall
well-being. You've effectively taken an "inner shower" for
both your body and mind.

Moving Forward

It’s essential not to revert to old habits and to utilize the tools

Scan to Download
you’ve learned to maintain your progress. The CLEAN7
program acts as a powerful jumpstart for your health. You are
encouraged to continue with the program and integrate its
components into a long-term health strategy.

Using the CLEAN7 Program

Continue

If you're feeling great post-program, consider extending your

CLEAN7 experience. Continuing for two to three weeks can
solidify your results and prepare you for the reintroduction
phase of foods you previously eliminated. Observing your
body’s reactions to reintroduced foods will help identify any
intolerances more accurately than food allergy tests.

Repeat Periodically

Think of the CLEAN7 program as a regular practice, similar

to showering. Aim to do a week of CLEAN7 at each seasonal
change or as often as needed based on your health status.

Build Your Own Level of Difficulty

Customize the CLEAN7 experience by designing your own
program. You can mix and combine specific days from the
CLEAN7 framework to suit your personal health needs.

Deconstructing CLEAN7

CLEAN7 Diet

The CLEAN7 diet personalizes the Elimination Diet based

on your dosha, allowing for a tailored detox experience.
While undergoing detox, it’s crucial to adhere to combined
dietary guidelines. After completing the program, reassess
your dietary choices according to how your body responds
and consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for
more personalized guidance.

Critical Thinking
Key Point:The Rod of the CLEAN7 program
provides a structured approach to health
rejuvenation.
Critical Interpretation:While the author's evaluation of
the transformative power of detox diets like CLEAN7
offers an empowering narrative for those seeking
lifestyle changes, it's important to critically evaluate the
scientific validity of these claims. The assertion that
detox programs can achieve profound health
transformations often lacks robust empirical support, as
evidenced in various critiques of detox diets, notably in
studies published in journals like the Journal of
Nutrition or the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Readers should approach the results presented in
CLEAN7 with caution and consider that individual
health responses can vary significantly, potentially
undermining the one-size-fits-all approach advocated by
the author.

Tools

The CLEAN7 Tools

Your CLEAN7 Planner

Organizing and executing the CLEAN7 program can vary

from person to person. For those who prefer a structured
approach, it is recommended to create a weekly planner by
selecting recipes based on individual doshas and making a
shopping list for the necessary ingredients. Keeping all
necessary ingredients at hand, jotting down reminders for
practices such as meditation or exercise, and posting the
planner in a visible location can help maintain focus and
accountability throughout the program.

Daily Meal and Activities Checklist

Each day of the CLEAN7 program includes shakes, meals,

herbs, appropriate appointments, and a checklist that involves

Scan to Download
hydration, rest, meditation, and movement. These elements
should be integrated into a daily routine to facilitate a holistic
approach to wellness.

Food Lists for The Three Doshas

The CLEAN7 diet involves foods categorized for three

doshas, specifying what they should avoid and what they can
enjoy:
-
Foods to Enjoy and Avoid
: Each dosha has a detailed list of fruits, vegetables, proteins,
grains, oils, and beverages to include or avoid in the diet.
-
Dosha Questionnaire
: To identify individual dosha balance, participants are
encouraged to fill out a questionnaire reflecting their
consistent and recent experiences.

Other Ways to Follow Through after Doing

CLEAN7

After completing CLEAN7, individuals are encouraged to:

1. Incorporate a daily shake to ease digestion and enhance

detoxification.
2. Skip breakfast when appropriate to extend detox time.
3. Explore intermittent fasting as part of a long-term lifestyle.
4. Consult with a practitioner of Functional or Ayurvedic
Medicine for tailored health guidance.
5. Use Ayurvedic herbs for periodic detoxification.

Detox Your Life

Your Air

Indoor air quality can be more polluted than outdoor

environments, with numerous household products releasing
harmful chemicals. To mitigate exposure, eliminate
chemical-based products and consider using air purifiers to
improve air quality.

Your Water

City water often contains contaminants. Investing in a

comprehensive water filtration system is advisable, focusing
on:
- Carbon filtration to remove debris and impurities.

Scan to Download
- Reverse osmosis for effective purification.
- Deionization and remineralization to enhance the water's
quality.
If a full filtration system is not feasible, portable or pitcher
filters can still significantly improve water quality. Avoid
purchasing bottled water to minimize plastic waste.

Conclusion

The CLEAN7 program emphasizes a holistic approach to

diet, detoxification, and lifestyle choices. By becoming
aware of environmental factors such as air and water quality,
individuals can enhance their overall health and well-being.

Scan to Download
Critical Thinking
Key Point:Holistic Health and Individual Variation
Critical Interpretation:The CLEAN7 program advocates
for a personalized approach to wellness, including diet
and detoxification, which is admirable but may not
universally apply, as individual health needs and
responses to dietary changes can vary significantly.
While the focus on doshas adds a unique layer to the
program, it is important to question the efficacy of such
classifications for everyone. Studies have critiqued the
effectiveness of single dietary approaches due to
variances in individual metabolism, preferences, and
health conditions (see 'Nutritional Epidemiology' by
Walter Willett). Thus, while the intent to improve health
through individual tailoring is commendable, readers
should consider that not all practices may yield positive
results for every individual.

Chapter 2 | The Three Pillars of CLEAN7| Q&A
[Link]
What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine, and
how did that lead you to Functional Medicine?
Answer:From a young age, I was determined to be a
doctor. I had a mentor, Dr. Roberto Canessa, whose
harrowing survival story in the Andes instilled in me

Scan to Download
the belief that anything is possible. This mentor
motivated me to pursue cardiology in New York,
where traditional medical training taught me about
diagnosing and treating ailments. However, when I
faced my own health issues and found the limits of
conventional medicine, it was through exploring
different approaches that I discovered Functional
Medicine, which allowed for a more holistic view of
health and healing.

[Link]
How did your personal health struggles shape your
understanding of medicine?
Answer:Suffering from depression and various health
complications while in a cardiology practice made me realize
that relying solely on medication was not a sustainable
solution. This pivotal experience taught me that many people
are affected by modern lifestyles, which led me to explore
detoxification and ultimately Functional Medicine, where I
found lasting healing and the importance of understanding

Scan to Download
the body as a cohesive system.

[Link]
What is the Elimination Diet and how does it benefit
health?
Answer:The Elimination Diet involves removing common
dietary triggers to give the immune system a break and allow
the body to heal. It supports natural healing mechanisms by
eliminating inflammation-causing foods, which often leads to
the resolution of many health issues. In practice, many
patients see significant improvements even before lab results
return, showcasing its immediate benefits by reducing
symptoms and rebalancing body functions.

[Link]
Can you explain the concept of the Five Rs in Functional
Medicine?
Answer:The Five Rs—Remove, Restore, Repair,
Reinoculate, Relax—are steps in the Functional Medicine
framework designed to promote healing. Removing harmful
substances and foods is paramount. Restoring essential

Scan to Download
nutrients helps rebalance the body, while repairing tissues
aids recovery processes. Reinoculating introduces beneficial
gut bacteria, and incorporating relaxation techniques
acknowledges the mind-body connection essential for overall
health.

[Link]
How does Ayurvedic medicine complement modern
medical practices in your approach?
Answer:Ayurvedic medicine provides a rich, holistic
perspective on health focusing on balance and the interplay
of elements within the body. By blending these principles
with Functional Medicine's emphasis on detoxification and
systems biology, I’ve found a comprehensive model for
understanding health that addresses both the physical and
energetic aspects of healing.

[Link]
What role does intermittent fasting play in the CLEAN7
program?
Answer:Intermittent fasting is key in CLEAN7 as it allows

Scan to Download
the body to enter a state where detoxification and healing
processes are maximized. By gradually increasing the fasting
window, participants prepare their bodies to experience the
beneficial effects of fasting, such as improved detoxification,
cellular repair, and heightened energy levels that occur when
food intake is minimized.

[Link]
What personal insights did you gain from your
experiences in Ayurvedic medicine and its practices?
Answer:My experiences in Ayurveda opened my eyes to the
deep connection between nature and health. Witnessing the
successful integration of Ayurvedic principles in medical
practice reinforced my belief in a balanced approach to
medicine that values both ancient wisdom and modern
scientific understanding. It underscored how healing is not
just about treating symptoms, but fostering holistic wellness.

[Link]
How can understanding one’s dosha enhance dietary
choices and health?

Scan to Download
Answer:Understanding your dosha provides insights into
your unique constitution, helping you identify foods and
practices that either support or disrupt your balance. By
aligning dietary choices with this innate knowledge, you
enhance your ability to detoxify, promote digestive health,
and achieve optimal wellness, adapting to changes as your
body requires throughout different stages of life.

[Link]
What is the significance of detoxification in the context of
modern health issues?
Answer:Detoxification is crucial in today’s world, where
chronic exposure to toxins from food, environment, and
stress contributes to various health dilemmas. By actively
promoting detox protocols, we can help the body eliminate
harmful substances, restore balance, and prevent diseases that
stem from toxic buildup, thereby facilitating a healthier
lifestyle.

to feel physically, emotionally, and mentally. Think
about the impact of improved health on your
relationships and daily life. By igniting this vision

the program.

ensure you have any appliances like a blender or food
processor ready to facilitate meal prep.

[Link]
Why is it important to determine my Ayurvedic dosha
before starting CLEAN7?
Answer:Determining your Ayurvedic dosha is important
because it personalizes your detox program. It helps you
identify additional foods to avoid beyond the general
Elimination Diet, ensuring a more tailored approach that
aligns with your body's unique constitution and imbalances.

[Link]
How can I effectively manage cravings during the

Scan to Download
CLEAN7 program?
Answer:To manage cravings, acknowledge them as a sign of
your body adjusting to the detox. Stay hydrated, as thirst can
often mimic hunger. Incorporate snacks that are healthy and
satiating, such as raw vegetables with hummus or nuts.
Ensure that the acceptable snacks conform to the program but
remember that resisting the urge to snack will enhance your
results.

[Link]
What should I do if I experience social pressure while
following CLEAN7?
Answer:Address social pressure by establishing a support
system of friends and family who understand and respect
your decision to detox. Keep your food choices private from
casual acquaintances and explain your choices succinctly to
those who inquire, ensuring you maintain your commitment
without seeking approval.

[Link]
How will my perception of food change during the

Scan to Download
CLEAN7 program?
Answer:As you progress through CLEAN7, your cravings
for unhealthy foods may diminish, replaced by a desire for
fresh, nutrient-dense foods. This shift occurs as your body
detoxifies and begins to balance, leading to an improved
relationship with food that prioritizes health and vitality.

[Link]
What benefits can I expect from completing the CLEAN7
program?
Answer:After completing CLEAN7, you can expect to
experience increased mental clarity, emotional balance,
weight loss, heightened energy levels, deeper sleep, and
improved skin health. These benefits arise as toxins are
eliminated from your system, allowing your body to function
optimally.

[Link]
How should I track my progress during the CLEAN7
program?
Answer:Track your progress by keeping a journal where you

Scan to Download
write about your experiences, feelings, and any changes in
your health. Take note of your intentions at the start and
record specific symptoms or improvements, enabling you to
reflect on your transformation throughout the program.

[Link]
What should I do if I face setbacks during CLEAN7?
Answer:If you encounter setbacks, remind yourself that
lapses are a normal part of the detox journey. Don't dwell on
mistakes; instead, recommit to your goals and keep moving
forward. You can repeat any day of the program if necessary
and learn from the experience to enhance your resolve.

Q&A
[Link]
What is the significance of a 24-hour fast in the CLEAN7
program?
Answer:The 24-hour fast is a pivotal moment in the
CLEAN7 program, marking a deep entry into
detoxification. It allows the body to rest from
digestion, maximizing the detox process and helping
participants experience the benefits of fasting, such
as mental clarity and a reset of eating habits. This
day also poses a challenge that tests one's resolve,
bringing a sense of accomplishment and reinforcing
