5DaystoHealth to watch the Introduction video from Amie.
You’re on your way to optimal wellness with my 5 Day Reset and I am delighted to be here with
you. I want to teach you how to detox in a healthy way that’s a lifestyle-not a diet or cleanse that
would otherwise leave you feeling deprived. I want you to feel amazing and live the active life
you were meant to live, every day.
With this Reset, you’ll feel cleaner, lighter and have more energy…more importantly, you’ll gain
mental clarity and will end these 5 days feeling rejuvenated and vibrant. I’ve made it easy for
you! I know it’s not realistic to make perfect meals every day, so we made a simple meal plan to
jumpstart your clean eating efforts to get your body working for you- not against you. Follow my
plan to hit your reset button and see how amazing you can feel. When you’re finished with the 5
days, check out my 30 Day Reset for a longer reset that takes you through your entire month
with brand new recipes, more detailed information about health and detoxification, and strategies
and videos to help you feel your best.
The Foundation of the Reset
Eat Clean. Enjoy clean, whole food meals and snacks with a focus on lowering inflammation
and detoxing your body. You’ll also gain the understanding of inflammatory vs. anti-
inflammatory foods and the importance eating them daily.
Detox. Support your liver to remove everyday toxins by focusing on simple daily detox practices
and clean whole foods as well as easing your digestion with daily smoothies to support your gut
health.
Reset. Reset your physical and emotional body through eating well, movement and mind-body
practices. Learn how to restore your gut health and also breathe from your belly to relax your
nervous system and get your body out of fight/flight mode, which will lead to better digestion,
energy and relaxation.

PART I
Why Detox?
Many of you probably experience symptoms of toxicity that you don’t think of yourself as being
toxic. However, if you experience any of the below symptoms, you may be in need of a detox.
Detoxing is not a diet, it’s not about depriving yourself on a cleanse or counting calories, it’s
simply about supporting your body to get rid of waste that builds up inside of us from toxins
we’re bombarded with on a daily basis from chemicals in our food, cleaning products, personal
care products, car exhaust, tap water, stress and so on.
The goal is to learn how to enhance your body’s ability to detox and remove these toxins on a
daily basis. Some of us are better than others at removing these toxins while others are not. No
matter where you fall on the detox spectrum, everyone can benefit from a detox overhaul.
Do you…
● Have a lot of stress?
● Have insomnia?
● Feel foggy brained?
● Eat too many processed foods & foods high in sugar?
● Have excess weight on your body?
● Find yourself craving more energy?
● Want to get the glow back in your skin?
● Drink coffee, soda, or energy drinks for energy?
● Suffer from muscle pain, joint pain, headaches, bloating, sinus problems, heartburn,
eczema, acne, dark circles under your eye, food cravings, water retention, bad breath?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are ready for a Reset!

PART II
What to Expect
Before you dive into my Reset, I am going to arm you with tips on how you can prepare for the
week ahead. Start slowing your life down by freeing up your calendar, getting out in nature,
making time for a bath at the end of the day and focus on breathing from your belly. I
recommend starting your Reset on a weekend so you can rest and have time to adjust to the
change in your lifestyle. This plan has a focus on getting the root of inflammation, symptoms and
unwanted cravings. It’s not about treating the symptoms and going on a diet, however it’s an
approach that supports our body long-term on a cellular level. When our bodies are
overburdened with toxins, we experience unwanted symptoms and get sick. Toxins can be
anything from stress (anger, jealousy, and loneliness), food allergies, environmental allergies,
molds, yeasts, heavy metals, pesticides, fertilizers, medications, bacteria and processed foods.
Some of us are better than others at removing these toxins than others, so if you experience
symptoms from removing caffeine and processed foods, take it slow and remember your body is
getting acclimated to this new lifestyle. These symptoms will subside and you can drink lemon
water to help support your detox system. We all detox at different paces so don’t get discouraged
if you’re not feeling well while your friends are detoxing and feeling incredible. Remember to be
kind to yourself and take it slow!
The Reset
You’ll be having one smoothie every day for 5 days that will replace one of your meals
(typically breakfast). The other two meals will be Market Bowls, which are explained on page
20. You can have snacks in between meals as long as they include foods from the chart below
and exclude the Toxic 13 below, as well. All meals and snacks should include a healthy fat
(avocado, extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, nuts and seeds), quality protein (beans,
legumes and organic animal protein if desired), and fiber from vegetables (frozen or fresh).
Eliminate the Toxic 13 (Inflammatory Foods)
I could give you a big long list of every food you should stay away from on this diet, but that can
get really confusing, so let me give you just a short list—the Toxic 13! If you get rid of the
following items and remove them completely from your house—you’ll be well on your way to
feeling better fast. For the next three weeks, remove all trigger foods from your diet, including
the Toxic 13 listed below and those in the “Exclude” column in the chart below. You won’t find
any of these ingredients in this 5 Day Reset.
1. Gluten
5 | P a g e
2. Dairy (no milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.)
3. Soy
4. Corn (No corn starch)
5. Caffeine
6. Eggs
7. Refined Sugar (And no chemical sugar alternatives)
8. Alcohol
9. Shellfish
10. Peanuts
11. White potatoes (no potato flour or potato starch)
12. White flour (no baked items made with white flour. Yes, this means no gluten-free flours
such as white rice flour, too!)
13. Any processed food sold in a package or can (i.e., food mixes, chips, snacks and snack bars,
popcorn, pizza, etc.)
Now one note of caution—it might look like a simple list, but if you look closely at the foods
you’re eating now, you may find that almost all of them contain at least one of the items above.
(Corn and soy can be particularly sneaky, especially in processed foods.) Try not to get too
discouraged at this point. Move on to what you can eat for the next three weeks and focus on
that, letting the other foods fall by the wayside.
Here is a list of the foods you can include and exclude on this 5 day Reset.

PART III
What You Need
● Kitchen Equipment:
○ High speed blender (for the smoothies and dips)
○ Cutting boards (for cutting fruits and vegetables for the smoothies and Market
Bowls)
○ Large bowls (for making salads in the Market Bowls)
○ Large skillet (for sautéing vegetables in the Market Bowls)
○ Baking sheet (for roasting vegetables in the Market Bowls)
○ Sharp knife (for cutting fruits and vegetables)
● 5 Day Smoothie Meal Plan on page 15
What to Prep
● If you drink coffee, start cutting caffeine and coffee 3 days before you start your Reset to
help relieve detox symptoms, such as headaches and fatigue. Check out the coffee
withdrawal tips on page 10 for additional support.
● If you eat a lot of sugar, start reading labels and becoming aware of how much sugar you
are consuming and start removing it 3 days before you start. See page 10 for additional
tips to help with sugar cravings and what you can swap in.
● Shop in the bulk aisle (beans, gluten-free whole grains, nuts, and seeds are all great
options).
● Stock up on organic frozen fruits, veggies, beans and quinoa for stir-fries and smoothies.
They’re less expensive and just as delicious and nutritious.
● Think out of the box for flavor and add these items to your recipes for a boost of flavor:
unsweetened coconut flakes, unsweetened cocoa powder, chickpea miso, Himalayan sea
salt, black and white peppercorns and citrus zest such as lemon, lime and orange zest.
● Make smoothies the night before and store them in a sealed container in the fridge if
you’re time crunched in the mornings.
● For the Market Bowls, cook wild rice, quinoa and other gluten-free grains and store them
in a sealed container in the fridge or buy them frozen.

PART IV
Gut Health
There are trillions of bacteria in our gut and it’s our job to keep the good bacteria (probiotics) in
check to outweigh the bad bacteria. Our gut digests our food, regulates our hormones, excretes
toxins, produces vitamins and keeps our entire body healthy. Optimal gut health starts with the
food you eat, which should be rich in fiber, proteins and healthy fats. In addition to unhealthy
food, chronic stress and lack of sleep can contribute to gut imbalance. When our gut is
imbalanced, we’re in need of a healthy detox!
Here are a few healthy gut tips:
● Feed your good bacteria in your gut with clean, whole, organic foods, especially dark
leafy greens and fermented foods – sauerkraut, kefir and kimchi.
● Eat more veggies, especially leafy greens!
● Eat more healthy fats such as walnuts, avocados, avocado oil, coconut oil and extra-
virgin olive oil. Remove inflammatory fats such as vegetable oils (canola oil) and trans
fat.
● Eat prebiotics, which feed your good bacteria (aka probiotics). A few examples of
prebiotic rich foods are jicama, dandelion greens, onions, garlic and Jerusalem
artichokes. Think of them as ‘fuel’ for your beneficial gut bacteria.
● Try an elimination diet as noted in my book, Eating Clean, to identify what foods are
wreaking havoc on your body and causing inflammation.

PART V
Detox Tips
How to Handle Coffee (Caffeine) Withdrawal
Leading up to the 5 day Reset, I recommend that you gradually start reducing your intake of
coffee three days before the program begins, which can help you minimize withdrawal
symptoms. Also, drink at least 6-8 cups of water each day to help relieve your withdrawal
headaches.
Day 1: 1 cup 50% caffeinated 50% decaf organic coffee
Day 2: 100% decaf organic coffee
Day 3: No coffee. No decaf and no caffeinated. Replace 1 cup of coffee with organic roasted
dandelion root tea.
How to Handle Sugar Withdrawal
Processed foods can stimulate the reward system in our brains the same way that drugs do, which
is why it’s so hard to stop eating a donut or soda because we become addicted to these foods.
When we eat, our brains release feel good hormones such as dopamine, which we interpret as
pleasure. When we eat processed foods, they can cause a powerful reward release, which is what
makes our bodies crave that feeling. You can train your body to release these cravings.
● Drink a large glass of water with a freshly squeezed lemon, orange, grapefruit or lime
juice. Add in chopped fresh mint leaves for a boost of flavor.
● Add ground cinnamon to your food and cinnamon sticks to your tea help balance your
blood sugar levels.
● Add more healthy fats to your meals and snacks.
● Roast naturally sweetened root vegetables and add them to your meals (sweet potatoes,
carrots, rutabaga, parsnips, and squash).

PART VI
Feeding Your Body, Not Your Belly
Day after day, we’re bombarded by external stressors from our inbox to our family to traffic and
deadlines, so we’re constantly stuck in a fight or flight mode, which is a huge stress on our body.
To bring your body out of this stress mode, breathe from your belly (not your chest) to swing
your body back into the rest and relaxation mode so you can detox easier.
Before you reach for food, ask yourself these four questions. Take a minute to consider what is
causing you to reach for the food before you indulge in every craving. Knowing why you’re
reaching for a certain food can help you make a healthier choice.
Am I tired? Not getting enough shut-eye throws off our hormones and appetite so we’ll
want to reach for a bar of chocolate for energy when what we need is sleep. Keep a
handful of raw walnuts on you at all times so you can reach for these healthy nuts when
you’re needing a pick-me-up.
Am I anxious? When you’re anxious, your stress hormone cortisol can influence your
hunger signals. Look first at the source of your anxiety before you reach for the comfort
foods you crave in these situations because those foods won’t provide you any comfort.
Identify the issue and start making changes that put you in a more positive space.
Journaling your feelings can be a great way to start this process.
Am I in a rush? When we’re in a hurry, we tend to eat foods that can be eaten quickly,
which are often the processed foods that are void of nutrients. Instead, prep for your
meals on Sunday and chop your veggies, fruits, and herbs for the week ahead.
Am I lonely? Food can be a go-to for people when we’re looking for comfort from
something outside of ourselves. Remember, when you overindulge in food or reach for
unhealthy foods, you’ll feel awful after you eat these foods both mentally and physically.
Instead of beating up on yourself, ask yourself what you can do to satisfy your loneliness
to give you a sense of belonging. Find ways to fulfil that void and write them down so
you can use them to make changes when you feel down or lonely.

PART VII
The Connection between Resetting Your Body & Your Nervous System
It is important to slow down and realize the connection between your nervous system and your
overall health. Stress is a huge cause of so many health issues and so many of us overlook stress
because we often don’t even realize we are so stressed out! We need to learn how to slow down
and reset ourselves so that our bodies can function optimally. When we’re stressed, we end up in
fight/flight mode and our body slows down the process of digesting our food and slows down the
reproductive system, leading to hormonal issues; therefore, it’s key to learn how to handle stress
in our busy, fast-paced lives. Here’s what you can start doing today to get your body out of
fight/flight mode (sympathetic nervous system) and into your rest/relaxation mode
(parasympathetic nervous system):
Belly Breathing: Breathe in and out of your belly- not your chest. This is such an easy way to
pull your body back into the relaxation mode. Place your hand on your belly to ensure you are
breathing in and out of your belly and not in and out of your chest. Set a google calendar alarm
for yourself to check yourself to ensure you’re doing this a few times throughout the day.
Sleeping with the circadian rhythm is such a huge part of our overall stress response because if
we go to sleep too late and don’t get enough quality sleep, our cortisol (stress hormone) will
increase and will lead to inflammation, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, digestion issues and
so much more. Try to get into bed by 10PM and up by 6:30-7AM to get in sync with the
circadian rhythm. This is the rhythm that your body wants to be on. Trust me! You’ll feel so
much better because you’re in tune with the natural rhythm of life.
13 | P a g e
PART VIII
Clean Eating Tips
Here are a few swaps you can make to transition into your anti-inflammatory lifestyle
● Instead of coffee, chose herbal teas such as dandelion root tea.
● Instead of processed oils such as canola oil, safflower oil, corn oil, butter and margarine,
chose extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil or coconut oil.
● Instead of white carbs such as white flour, white bread, and white crackers, chose gluten-
free whole grains and sprouted whole grains such as quinoa, millet, buckwheat, amaranth,
wild rice, brown rice and black rice.
● Instead of dairy yogurt, chose coconut milk yogurt or almond milk yogurt.
● Instead of table salt, chose Himalayan sea salt.
● Instead of refined sugar and artificial sweeteners, chose honey or pure maple syrup.
Anti-Inflammatory Foods to Add to Your Meals
● Raw Garlic: raw garlic is more beneficial than cooked garlic since heat and water
inactivates the sulfur enzymes that lessen garlic’s power to wipe out bacteria. It’s also
great for fighting inflammation. Add garlic to pesto’s, dressings and marinades for a
boost of flavor.
● Fresh Turmeric: turmeric contains curcumin, which is a natural anti-inflammatory and
painkiller. Add it to stir-fries, smoothies and salads.
● Fresh Ginger: ginger is a gut-friendly spice that stimulates digestion and helps alleviate
nausea and bloating. Add fresh ginger to your smoothies and desserts as well as to your
evening hot tea.
How to Make the Best Smoothie
The main part of this Reset is really about replacing one meal with a smoothie each day and
cutting out the Toxic 13 on page 4. This will help reduce any inflammation in your body and aid
in your digestion (almost 70% of your immune system lives in your gut so it’s important to focus
on what you are putting into your body and eating).
Here’s what you can toss into your high-speed blender for a simple smoothie:
● 10 oz. liquid (coconut water, full fat coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, etc.)
provides hydration, healthy fats and protein.
● 3 cups dark leafy greens (spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, dandelion greens).
● ½ cup veggies or fruits (cucumbers, celery, red bell pepper, berries and a banana)
provides vitamins, minerals and fiber. You can use fresh or frozen fruits and veggies.
Frozen are much cheaper and often easier to digest because they have a higher water
content! Frozen veggies were a savior for me with healing my gut because they were
14 | P a g e
easier for me to digest than raw or cooked raw veggies, that tended to be too rough for
me.
● Handful of fresh herbs (freshly grated ginger, fresh parsley, fresh mint, fresh basil).
● 3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed citrus juice (freshly squeezed juice from lemons, limes, oranges,
grapefruits) to support liver detox.
● 1 Tbsp. protein (almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, walnuts, almonds,
Brazil nuts, etc.) provides protein and healthy fats.
