1. Awesome Protein GHI is a comprehensive, fructose-free, low-allergy– potential dietary supplement designed to support gastrointestinal (GI) function and balanced detoxification. It contains a proprietary blend of amino acids and plant-based proteins called VegaPro™, as well as the enzyme Aminogen® to help improve protein absorption. It also includes phytonutrients, mineral amino acid chelates, and activated B vitamins, including Quatrefolic® and methylcobalamin. This supplement is intended to be used in conjunction with a modified elimination diet and is suitable for vegans. The purpose of Awesome Protein GHI is to support GI function and balanced detoxification by providing the body with a range of nutrients that may be beneficial for these processes. The inclusion of amino acids, plant-based proteins, and other nutrients may help to support the function of the liver and other organs involved in detoxification, as well as promote eicosanoid balance and cytokine metabolism.
2. Awesome Daily Probiotic is a vegetarian, dairy- and gluten-free, four-strain probiotic totaling 30 billion CFU† per capsule. Each vegetarian capsule is sealed in nitrogen-purged aluminum blister packs to serve as protection from factors proven to compromise stability of probiotics such as heat, moisture, and oxygen. Awesome daily probiotic provides four researched strains of beneficial bacteria, including the extensively studied HN019® strain of Bifidobacterium lactis. These live microorganisms have proven health benefits and well-established safety, and have been tested for epithelial cell adhesion and/or resistance to low pH.* To further support resistance to low pH and the delivery of microorganisms to the small intestines, Awesome Daily Probiotic employs DRcaps™ gastro-resistant capsules. These specially designed, innovative capsules help slow exposure of actives to stomach acid and ensure more targeted release.

How do I do this “Awesome 10-Day Cleanse”?

The general steps involve taking the above supplements and modifying some of your routine around your new habits. You will consume your supplements as follows:

CLEANSE GUIDE

1. Take 2 capsules of Magnesium Citrate at bedtime, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
2. Take 1 serving of Awesome Post Workout BCAA once per day, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
3. Upon rising and at bedtime, take 1 capsule of Awesome Daily Probiotic with water or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
4. Consume Awesome Protein GHI shake 1 scoop per day, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

At its core, the Awesome 10-Day Cleanse is part of a balanced wellness lifestyle that includes: proper hydration, proper exercise, getting enough sleep, and proper eating habits. Drinking enough water is one of the most important components of a successful cleanse. To ensure you’re properly hydrated, take your weight, divide it in half, and consume that number of ounces of water per day. For example, someone who weighs 150 pounds should be drinking 75 ounces of water each day. Exercise is also important to a successful cleanse. Try to stick to mild exercise such as brisk walking or light cardio, and avoid strenuous exercise as it could impede your progress. Aim for 15 minutes a day of mild to moderate exercise. And don’t forget to get enough rest! Seven to eight hours of sleep per night is essential to help reduce stress and cravings for unhealthy food. Plus, not getting enough sleep on a regular basis can have a negative impact on your overall health, so aim to get your beauty sleep! Successful eating habits start with manageable changes and accountability. The cleanse is meant to flush out toxins in the body and jumpstart a new and thriving wellness routine in your life. Your gut microbiome plays a big role in this success – that is why the 10-Day Cleanse is also a mild elimination diet.

The 3 keys to success in your daily eating include: choosing your food, designing your menu, and making your shakes! When choosing your food, it is best to try finding as organic as possible. (see attached flier about our 10-Day Cleanse that goes into more detail!) There is a list of OK and NOT-OK food to find organic. Designing your menus can be daunting, but we try and make it as easy as possible! Half your plate should be non-startchy, leafy vegetables – the other half is split between your protein and carbohydrate. Snacks can include fruits, but try to mix in vegetables as well, as to not crash your blood sugar levels from only consuming fruits. Fruits can also be incorporated into your shakes! There are a few different recipes on the handout that make great intermediate meals – I personally do it the old fashioned way with just water and powder. It makes it simple for my busy lifestyle.

Ultimately this process should be EXCITING and a FUN way to jumpstart your wellness routine.
