Let’s be honest, shall we? The point of “getting healthy” has nothing to do with your goal weight, impressing other people, or the results of your medical tests. Sure, they can be happy mile-markers along your journey, but you and every other human have a more fundamental reason for pursuing health: Feeling awesome and living like a straight up superhero.

On some level, every person has this inborn sense that, “I am a superhero under all this human-ness.” We have a knowing that we are capable of perpetually feeling awesome and achieving epic success. Which is totally true.

Let’s dive in and take a look at just what superhero health is, how to get it, and what juicy rewards await you.

What is Superhero Health?

Superhero health is when your body, mind, and heart agree: I feel good! I have everything I need right now, and I am excited to take the next steps.

Superhero health is waking up each day feeling clear and awesomely alive in body, mind, and soul. It’s truly holistic health and vitality that allows you to unleash your innate superhero skills and make a positive change in the world.

Does that sound like the kind of health you really want? Can you imagine what it would feel like to start each day feeling energized, grateful, and excited to do your life’s work?

What’s In It For Me?

You may be surprised to learn this, but that level of superhero health is your birthright, no matter what your current level of health is. It’s a choice that puts a tremendous amount of creative power directly back in your hands.

Superhero health gives you more choices right now, and for your future. Instead of being a slave to your body, it becomes your faithful servant. Imagine never being limited again by allergies, pain and stiffness, unexplainable symptoms, or any kind of disease.

Think about it. With the information on this site, you now decide how healthy your body will be. You choose how fast you heal, which abundant opportunities you take advantage of, and which emotions you spend the most time feeling. You literally create your reality with your super human powers. Life begins to feel effortless and flowing. Are you beginning to see how huge this is?

Alright, so now you understand what superhero health looks like, and you’re ready to put it into action. Let’s do this.

How to Experience Superhero Health
The tried-and-true Formula for Effortless Vitality is the simple answer. When we put effort into these four areas of life, Superhero health is the automatic reward. Be sure to read each all the way through, because there is a secret at the end.

Mind-Body Awareness

• Being present in the moment and noticing your thoughts and what you feel physically and emotionally. Allow and accept whatever you notice, without judgement.
• Learning to read your body’s signs and to accurately respond to whatever you need in the moment.
• Fitness through moving the body in an enjoyable way, progressively going beyond your perceived limits.
• Meditation or any practice that draws your attention inward and quiets the mind.
• Cultivating an attitude of gratitude for everything you experience. Loving What Is, and thus returning to sanity. Even when things seems confusing, painful, or just plain “wrong”, acknowledging them as divinely created and existing only for the benefit of all.

Conscious Eating

• Drinking plenty of pure water, ideally (structured) spring water or ionized alkaline water.
• Choosing cleansing foods that are in harmony with your body.
• Eating only when hungry rather than for emotional satisfaction.
• Being present and grateful while eating each meal.

Holistic Technology

• Investigating and using any holistic technology that you feel drawn to for your body, mind, and/or soul. Some examples are using the Violet Ray wand to heal your body, listening to binaural beats to clear your mind and increase focus, or wearing sacred jewelry as a spiritual catalyst.

Authenticity

• Revealing and revelling in every aspect of yourself. Having one personality that you show to everyone rather than changing into an assortment of costumes. Admitting to yourself what you desire, and what you fear.
• Following your passions and integrating them into your daily life.
• Sharing your love-based experiences and insights with people who ask you for them.

Now that you know superhero health is possible for you, what will you do with it? How do you dream of making a positive change in the world using your innate superhero skills?

My liver has been trying to get my attention for years. At first I didn’t know how to interpret the language of the liver, but now I hear it loud and clear. Dry skin, indigestion, low energy and blood sugar fluctuations, acne, skin tags, cravings for sugar and alcohol, brainfog and explosive emotions are just some of the ways our livers say, “Hey, I’ve accumulated a lot of toxins and I need help getting rid of them!”

I finally had enough of those symptoms, and decided to take charge of my health with my first liver cleanse. The results have been good, and I’m looking forward to my next liver cleanse because I want to feel even better.

Remember: Follow the inner cleansing protocol before cleansing your liver! A colon cleanse, parasite cleanse, and kidney cleanse must be done first!

Liver Cleanse Ingredients

• Love + Patience (be liberal with these, ok?)
• Fruits and Vegetables
• Apple Juice and/or Apple Cider Vinegar
• Epsom Salt
• Cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Citrus Juice
• Castor Oil + Cotton Cloth + Plastic Wrap

Pre-Cleanse
Prior to the cleanse, your goal is to eat in a way that supports your overall health and to progressively cleanse and empty out the digestive track. Healthy, empty intestines equal easier, better results. Eat lots of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, including plenty of leafy greens. Animal products, processed foods, grains, and high-fat foods will lower the effectiveness of the liver cleanse, so take a break from them for a few days.

This is a perfect time for a Green Smoothie Cleanse! I drank green smoothies for four days, which kept me feeling satiated and full of energy.

Apples (Malic Acid + Pectin = Liver Magic)
Another important factor is getting a source of malic acid, because it softens the stones and dissolves sludge from the liver and gallbladder. Remember how vinegar is used to remove calcified deposits on your shower heads and faucets? That is exactly how malic acid softens the often calcified stones in your gallbladder and liver.

This is found in high concentrations in apples, so drinking apple juice is a very common part in many liver cleanse protocols. It is found in even higher concentrations in apple cider vinegar. In that form there is no excess sugar, which can deter diabetics and those on an anti-candida diet from drinking apple juice. You can also take a malic acid supplement in the form of powder or pills.

I added apples to my green smoothies every day, as well as drinking ACV. For every 16 oz. glass of pure water, I added 1 teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of raw honey.

Castor Oil Packs
Each day prior to the cleanse, I applied a castor oil pack on my abdomen. They are very easy to do. Soak a cotton cloth with organic castor oil, place the pack on the abdomen, wrap the entire abdomen with plastic wrap, apply a hot compress, and just relax for 30-60 minutes. Castor oil is a powerful healer that has proven helpful in curing many stubborn illnesses. It also thins the lymphatic fluid, which helps gently escort gallstones out of your body.

Cleanse Day
On the day of the cleanse be sure to eat a totally fat-free diet. This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver, which squeezes out the stones. A couple green smoothies are ideal for breakfast and a late lunch. It is recommended not to eat after 2PM, because that will reduce the possibility of nausea and increase the detox power of the liver cleanse.

5PM and 7PM
Mix one and a half tablespoons of Epsom salt in 8 ounces of warm, purified water. If it tastes too yucky to you, mix the epsom salt with as little water as necessary to dissolve the crystals. Drink it as fast as you can, then swish a bit of of water to get the taste out of your mouth. Relax and get ready to head to the bathroom. Do this around 5PM and once again around 7PM.

9-10PM
Drink ¾ cup (6 ounces) of organic cold pressed oil. Extra virgin olive oil is commonly used with great results, and is what I used. Other types of cold pressed organic oils will work too, and will produce slightly different effects due to their unique compositions. I will be trying coconut oil next time. A small amount of freshly squeezed grapefruit, orange, or lemon juice can be added to improve the taste. It helps a lot! Try to drink it all within 5-15 minutes.

Immediately after drinking the oil and juice mix, lie down in bed on your right side with your knees drawn up to your stomach for 30 minutes or more. Then you can stretch out and go to sleep. If you feel cramps, walk around for a few minutes and then go back to bed. You may feel nauseated during the night. This is due to the release of stored toxins from the gallbladder and liver. This is normal and a sign the Liver Gallbladder Cleanse is working. Breathe through it.

If you feel like you’re going to throw up, go ahead, because it will release more toxins. If you do vomit, your body is very toxic and you should consider repeating the liver cleanse after a five day break.

As you lie in bed, just breathe and think loving thoughts. Your liver is the most emotion sensitive organ, and will positively respond to your thoughts of liver gratitude.

The Morning After The Cleanse
After waking up, take your third dose of Epsom salt. Don’t take it before 6:00 am. If you feel nausea wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. Go back to bed and relax until you need to use the restroom. Watch for stones!

2 Hours Later
Take your fourth and final dose of Epsom salt. Go back to bed and relax until you need to use the restroom again. Watch for stones!

2 More Hours Later
Now you can get up and break your fast with some freshly made fruit juice. Half an hour later, eat some whole fruit. An hour later eat something close to nature like a salad or other very simple meal. By dinner of the next day you should feel fully recovered and feeling awesome. Stones may appear in your bowel movements for one to two days.

Considerations

• If you have serious concerns about your liver or gallbladder, or have a history of chronic gallstones, it is advised that you consult a professional cleaning consultant. These people are compassionate, and highly knowledgeable, and can lead you through a cleansing protocol that is customized to your unique body.
• If you are in poor health, or otherwise feel called to use one, an herbal liver supplement such as Livatrex can be of enormous value.
• The liver must be cleansed only after you have done a cleanse for your colon, your kidneys, and parasites beforehand. If possible, eliminate any tooth problem first, as a toxic mouth can really burden the liver.
• Prepare to be emotional. The liver holds onto a lot of sticky feelings like anger, resentment, and fear. When we cleanse our liver, we’re also letting go of old emotions that don’t serve us anymore. Go ahead and have a cry. Tears are a powerful cleanser of the heart and the head.
• Niacin (B3) is often suggested during a liver cleanse, because it dilates the bile ducts and allows stones to pass easily through the ducts. The epsom salt in this cleanse protocol has the same effect, so additional niacin is not necessary.
• Ornithine is an amino-acid recommended by Hulda Clark to “help you sleep” on the night of the cleanse. It would be taken when drinking the olive oil on the night of the cleanse, if you choose to use it.
• This is just one of many options for cleansing and detoxing your liver. It’s the result of my research and it worked well for me. Do some research, and choose the method that you feel good about.

Formula for Effortless Vitality & A Happy Life

• Mind-Body Awareness
• Conscious Eating
• Holistic Technology
• Authenticity

Each of these ingredients effortlessly leads to the next one. When you start with simply being aware of your body, you are naturally lead to conscious eating. From there, you become drawn to the particular holistic technologies that your body needs. And one day you will notice that, without much effort, you have been bringing authenticity to every area of your life.

It really is that simple! Begin with the first step – being present in the moment – and the other stumbling blocks in your life will fall like dominoes.

The Secret Ingredient
Self-love is the key: it is the catalyst for your best life ever. Self-love is how you help others and create positive change in the world without burning out. Self-love is what brings a steady stream of health, wealth, and loving relationships. Self-love is what kindles your inner fire of happiness and delight, even when the outside world seems freezing cold.

Universal Laws explain that when you choose to love and accept yourself, you are putting yourself back into the flow of abundance that is your natural state. When you are in that flow, brilliant ideas and golden opportunities automatically show up in your life.

I’ve been testing this recipe every day since 2005, and I can promise you that it works. I want to really encourage you to give this a try, because you will love the benefits. Once you get a taste of great physical health and inner clarity, you will never go back!

Where do I begin?
Start where you’re at right now. Are you already practicing being present in the moment? (Like… right now? ) Congrats, because that alone puts you at the head of the class. Now it’s time to put the power of your focus onto your eating habits. There’s no special ritual or skills to learn; just draw your attention to every bite. Really notice what and how you’re eating. I like to imagine its flavor and vitality cascading through all my cells! What about sensations throughout your body? Just notice them and see if you they have a message for you today.

When you’re ready – and your heart will tell you when that time is – look into the holistic technologies that you are interested in. Get to Googling and see what personal testimonials you can find. Here’s a ridiculously simple tip that will help you know which kinds of technology are perfect for you right now: how obsessed are you with the topic? If you’re spending time daydreaming about owning your own water ionizer, it’s time for you to have one. Period. My honest advice is not to let outside circumstances be your deciding factor. I can’t count how many times my heart has chosen something wonderful for me, even when it flies in the face of logic… and yet, things have worked out perfectly every time. Tis’ the nature of trusting our intuition.

And finally, no matter where you are in this journey to a happy life, be authentic whenever you can! In your words to others, in your most private thoughts, in your bold choices. Resist the urge to settle for “close enough”. Keep digging and experimenting until you KNOW your true self, and reveal her/him at every opportunity. This is the last step, and it can feel quite scary at times. You know why? It’s the difference between “happy on the outside” and “happy on the inside”. The more you unleash your bold, beautiful, one-of-a-kind self, the more awesome you feel inside. And it’s what allows you to stay feeling happy even when outside circumstances are chaotic.

Where Are You?

If one food could give you superhero powers, it would be the mighty Green Smoothie. Have you tried them yet? A green smoothie is a surprisingly delicious blend of fruit and leafy greens. They are easy to make, and probably the healthiest food on the planet.

I think customizing recipes is so fun. Green smoothies are so versatile because you can use whatever fruits and greens you prefer, and they come out tasty every time. Well, some combos are more like flavor expeditions, but if it weren’t for recipe renegades then how would we get new recipes at all? Hmm?

The Best Green Smoothie Recipe

• 4 cups spinach or mixed greens
• 2 large cucumbers or 1/2 head celery
• 2 pieces of ripe fruit
• Juice of 1/2 small lemon
• Enough water to blend

Makes 2 big yummy drinks. Breakfast for two!

Green Smoothie Tips

• Experiment with all the ingredients! Try different greens, veggies, and fruits and see what your taste buds prefer.
• Leafy greens: I think spinach is the most tasty green for green smoothies, but some people prefer lettuces. What do you like?
• Cucumber: Keep the seeds if you are using a high powered blender like the Blendtec, otherwise remove them.
• Celery: A blend of cucumber and celery is very tasty! A high powered blender is required to blend celery into a silky smooth texture.
• Fruit: I like at least 1 banana because it makes a creamy, rich-feeling green drink. They also blend great with tart fruits like berries.
• Additions: This green smoothie stands alone in terms of nutrition and flavor. It doesn’t need any extra supplements or ingredients… but as always, experiment if you feel called to!

The benefits and flavor are amazing, but it’s not rocket science. If you make a habit of drinking a green smoothie every morning, I guarantee you will see miraculous changes in your health and energy levels. Even one green smoothie a week does wonders for your whole body, so fit it into your life the best you can.

Shocking, but it was only four months ago. I was waking up every morning feeling like my guts were on fire. No matter how I tweaked my diet, I didn’t feel much better, and a part of me began to lose hope.

“Why haven’t all those healing diets worked for me? Is my body broken?” I wondered sadly.

After 11 years of a vegan diet, long periods of high raw or 100% raw food, and seven years of eating mostly organic, simple, gluten-free, and nutrient-dense homemade meals, I was at a loss. I knew intuitively that eating “close to nature” was the key, but I didn’t know if I needed to tack on new “rules” to my daily diet. Every time I researched “cleansing diet”, I found mountains of conflicting theories. I was so fed-up with the digestive pain, and being confused by a million little rules.

The fact is, functional gut disorders (FGD) are really common, affecting at least 15% of the global population. There are millions of people who are seeking knowledge, relief, and freedom!

So what cleansing diet is the “best”? I found a simple answer, but it doesn’t have an official name yet. It uses principles found in the Alkaline Diet, Clean Eating, Natural Hygiene, the Anti Inflammatory Diet, and Raw Foods. Oh, and it can bring relief almost immediately. Nice.

Here are the six core principles;

• Close to natural state
• Alkaline forming
• Anti-inflammatory
• Properly combined
• Low fat
• Proper timing of food and water intake

Now let’s take a look at the juicy details of these six ideas.

1) Natural State
Can the food be enjoyed in it’s uncooked, unprocessed state? The more preparation an item of food requires, the less ideal it is for human consumption. Select foods that are delicious and appealing in their natural state.

2) Alkaline Forming
Will the food leave a net acid or alkaline residue in the body? A food’s acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the pH of the food itself. Select foods that produce a net alkalizing effect in your body.

3) Anti Inflammatory
Does the food cause irritation to the body? Some foods contain nutrients as well as substances that are toxic to humans. Select foods that are nutrient dense and do not contain inflammatory substances.

4) Properly Combined
Does the food allow your digestive enzymes and stomach acid to do their job? Carbohydrates, proteins and fats all require different enzymes to be digested. Select meals that are combined to allow your body to thoroughly digest your food.

Food Combining Basics

• Eat fruit by itself, and only on an empty stomach.
• Proteins and fats combine well with non-starchy vegetables (and cucumbers). And that’s it.
• Starchy foods combine well with all vegetables and non-sweet fruits (except tomatoes).
• Avocado combines well with any kind of vegetable, tuber and non-sweet fruit.
• When juicing, food combining rules are not needed. Green juice containing fruits and vegetables is a perfect combination.

Download this beautiful chart and you will instantly see how food combining works. A visual diagram makes it so much easier to understand!

5) Low Fat
When humans consume more than 10% of their calories in the form of cooked or raw fat, health deteriorates. Green juice and green smoothies are my favorite way to get lots of yummy nutrition while keeping my overall fat intake at or below 10%.

6) Timed Meals and Drinks
The digestive system is open for business during daylight hours so meals should be eaten only between sun up and sun down. It also works best when food and water are taken separately, so as not to dilute your digestive enzymes and create digestive distress. Drink water or juices at least 20 minutes before eating, and wait one to two hours after eating to drink again. Space out meals three or more hours apart, because frequent meals/digesting are a constant energy drain to our bodies. Your body heals faster, your blood sugar is stable, and you have a stable stream of energy.

Raw Food Diet Notes
Raw vegetables are not recommended for people with active inflammation, such as symptoms of IBS, Crohn’s, colitis, etc. They can irritate the digestive track, so it is best to juice them and steam them during the healing phase. Drink as much green juice as you can! When your body is ready, raw “blended salads” and then unlimited raw foods will produce no discomfort. Be patient and loving with yourself. It’s a process.

Is This Diet…?
Eating this way is compatible with a gluten free diet, low fat diet, plant based vegan diet, diet for gout, a holistic cancer diet, candida diet, healing gall bladder diet, healing renal/kidney diet, alkaline diet, low glycemic diet, high fiber diet, clean eating, and honestly it’s the best flat belly diet on earth. (Both my hubby’s and my abs just pop when we stick to cleansing foods!)

At four months, I’m still a beginner with this way of eating. I make mistakes sometimes. And I know my body isn’t 100% healed, because I am still cleansing and experiencing detox symptoms. It’s become a fun process actually, to notice some symptoms fade and then disappear, knowing that my journey is ongoing.

Here’s the bottom line: this cleansing diet works even when “everything else” has failed. It’s a powerful way to transform your body and your mind, and finally feel comfortable!

For more information on this cleansing diet, “Self Healing Colitis & Crohn’s” is the only book you will need.

In the next two minutes you’re going to learn how to make water kefir. It’s an astonishingly simple, uniquely delicious drink for building Superhero health. The ingredients need to be organic, and yet the total cost is still pennies per day. How’s that for some magic math?

Lauren Lionheart’s Tried & True
Guaranteed Awesome
Water Kefir Recipe

• 1/2 cup – 1 cup water kefir crystals
• 1/4 cup organic sugar
• 8 organic raisins
• slice of lemon or lime, with some pith
• pinch baking soda
• purified water, warmed to body temperature (distilled & tap water WON’T work)

You can start with 1/2 cup and it will quickly double to 1 cup of crystals. You can share them, eat them, or make a new jar and experiment with recipes. There are TONS of kefir varieties to be created.

Have some first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum results. (It has a better chance of quickly gettin’ where it needs to go. Ya know?) There is no recommended dosage, just follow what your body is asking for. Just want one glass today? Great! Three glasses tomorrow? Fantastic! Let that beautiful body of yours be your guide.

Tools You Need

• wooden spoon – Metal tools are a no-no due to acidic reactivity. Wood can be sterilized by boiling and doesn’t introduce plastic into the delicate mix.
• 1 quart (32 oz.) glass jar like Ball or Mason. No lid required.
• paper towels
• rubber band

Water Kefir Tips

• Water Kefir Crystals: Buy water kefir crystals – also called tibiscos or Japanese water crystals – from a good healthy batch. People frequently give away their extra crystals, so connect with someone locally if you can. Etsy is another great option.
• Water: Distilled water & tap water WON’T work. Other purified types should be fine. I have found 7pH purified from my water ionizer is ideal.
• Fermentation Time: For your first few batches, taste the water kefir after 24 hours, then every 12 hours after that. If it’s too sweet, let it ferment longer and the remaining sugar will be converted to beneficial acids. If it’s too tart, just dilute with water.
• Organic Sugar: Turbinado, Rapidura, sucanat, muscovado, or evaporated cane juice/white sugar are good. (Turbinado is easiest to measure!) The darker the sugar, the more complex the taste of the kefir. If you use white sugar, add a drizzle of unsulphured molasses to give your kefir the nutrients it needs to thrive. Artificial sweeteners and honey DON’T work.
• Organic Dried Fruit: Raisins work really well, are crazy cheap, and available everywhere. Any organic, unsulphured, no sugar added dried fruit – like figs or dates – should be fine. I’ve used fresh fruit with pretty good results, too.
• Organic Lemon/Lime: This acts as a pH regulator so your water kefir doesn’t get wildly acidic. How big a slice should you use? You have lots of wiggle room so have fun experimenting with amounts
• Calcium Supplement: Baking soda gives kefir the calcium it loves. Note: If you live in a hard water area and are using purified tap water, your kefir is probably getting enough calcium. Hard water contains higher than usual concentrations of calcium and other alkaline minerals.
