Unfortunately, there's no escaping these flab-packing chemicals that can be found in foods, cosmetics, household cleaners, soaps, medications, plastics, furniture, car exhaust and even water since chlorine is a xenoestrogen. So what happens to the body when these xenoestrogens build up in our system? They can cause fatigue, irritability, foggy thinking, and stubborn weight gain. Our liver can flush out a number of toxins, but with the normal person being bombarded with chemicals in everyday life, the liver can't keep up. That's when we need to help the body release these through exercise, diet and proactive research.
STEP 1: EXERCISE:
A brisk 20-minute walk or the equivalent exercise each day is key to overcoming estrogen dominance. It speeds the flow of lymph, the fluid that carries xenoestrogens and trapped fat to the liver for elimination. For best results, exercise to a point of a good sweat and breathe deeply. Think of the stomach and lungs as a large balloon that is filling up with air and slowly push the air out with every exhale. Most people that feel breathless during exercise often breath from their chest creating short quick movements that doesn't allow the oxygen to get into the body.
STEP 2: FORTIFY & STIMULATE
For one week, follow this daily food formula to fortify your liver and stimulate your digestive tract to eliminate stored xenoestrogens.
Consume 1 serving of Cruciferous Vegetable - Like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussel Sprouts that boost the liver's ability to convert xenoestrogens and other toxins into water-soluble molecules that can be easily flushed from the body.
Consume 1 serving of Green Leafy Vegetables or herbs - Such as parsley, kale, watercress, cilantro, escarole, collards, beet greens dandelion greens, and mustard greens that cleanse the digestive tract and help to heal damaged liver cells.
Consume 1 serving of Citrus - Like oranges, lemons, and limes that can boost the liver's ability to break down xenoestrogens.
Consume 1 serving of digestive soothers - As in artichokes, asparagus, beets, celery, whey, yeast flakes that are natural digestive aids.
Consume 1 serving of sulfur-rich foods - Like onions, garlic, eggs and radishes that help to rebuild the liver.
Consume 2 servings of protein - By eating beef, veal, lamb, fish, and chicken which boosts the liver's production of enzymes.
Consume 2 servings of fiber rich foods - Such as berries, carrots, apples and flax in order to speed up the digestive tract.
Consume 1-2 TBS of olive oil or flaxseed oil - The Omega-3 fatty acids speeds up the repair of damaged liver and digestive tract cells.
STEP 3: 24 HOUR DETOX
After week one, your digestive tract has been fortified and with daily exercise the stored xenoestrogens are beginning to be eliminated from the body. Remaining xenoestrogens can be quickly flushed during a 24-hour juice diet. As with any health diet or exercise plan please consult a physician before starting.

Drink one glass each hour that you are awake and you can supplement your cravings (if any) with distilled water. The recipe makes 64oz which is enough for one day.
