Purification Program - Day 1

Detox and Purification Program
DAY 1

Congratulations on taking the first step towards creating a healthier life for yourself by beginning the Standard Process 21 Day Purification Program. The next 21 days will be a life changing experience for you that usually includes feeling more energy, sleeping better, and weight loss, just to name a few changes. The common response from patients is "I haven't felt this good in 20 years." If you have gone through the purification program before, you know that you will soon be feeling energized and ready to take on the world.


Our goal with this experience is to start you on a path towards living a healthier lifestyle. So let’s just get started!!!

How Should I Feel Today?


Usually, the first day is not too difficult. You might experience some minor cravings, but most people don't really notice too much on the first day. If you are a heavy coffee or soft drink user, you may begin to experience some withdrawal symptoms from the caffeine or sugar. This is perfectly normal and should subside over the coming days. If you experience a terrible caffeine headache, you may try brewing a little organic coffee and taking just a few sips, (Don't overdo it here), and the headache will likely disappear. You should find you only need to do this for 1-2 days maximum and then you should be off the coffee altogether.

Shopping List:


We have made it very convenient for you to shop for the Detox program by providing a shopping list of the foods that you will be eating over the next 21 days. Take this list to the store with you when you purchase your foods.



Tip: Pick up one fruit or vegetable to try that you have never eaten before. It’s time to step out of the box and try some new foods; you’ll never know what you like unless you try it!


Recipe of the Day:

Citrus Berry Blast


• ½ cup blackberries

• ¼ cup blueberries

• ½ cup strawberries

• ½ banana (optional)

• The juice from 2 freshly squeezed oranges

• 1 Tsp flaxseed oil

• 2 rounded Tbs. of SP Complete

• 1-2 Tbs. Whey Pro

• Ice cubes or cold water


Directions for all shakes


Thoroughly blend all ingredients together, adding ice cubes or cold water until the shake reaches desired consistency. You may make a large enough batch to last you through the day, but make sure to keep it refrigerated, and remix it as needed before pouring.


Tips for your shake:


• Use frozen fruit and eliminate water/ice for a frosty, thick smoothie

• Mangos or peaches give your shake a nice zing

• Slice extra ripe bananas and freeze for easy use

• Increasing fruit will increase the sweetness, but will also increase the calories and may interfere with weight management

*If vegetables are used, there is no restriction regarding the quantity. When blending vegetables, it is recommended to use a high-performance commercial drink blender.


Purification Guidelines:


If you’d like to download the entire purification program packet and guide visit the following link. This guide contains the food and supplement guidelines as well as recipes, and a daily food log and journal.



Tip: The Purification Booklet is a Dietary Intake Journal that you can fill out daily and also note how you are feeling. This is important because it can help us determine any foods that you may have sensitivities or allergies to and any that may be causing some of your symptoms.


Today’s Homework:


If you have not already, fill out the toxicity questionnaire to determine how toxic you are at the beginning to this program. People that score a 40 or more on the questionnaire usually have great success on this program!


Save this sheet, as we will be comparing your score at the end of the program.
