You probably haven't given much thought to your liver, but its health is the key to your overall health and even your weight.
It’s the largest solid organ and the largest gland in the human body. It carries out over 500 essential tasks that help keep the
body healthy. The liver plays a central role in all metabolic processes in the body. In fat metabolism, the liver cells break down
fats and produce energy. The liver's role is therefore crucial for efficient circulation, metabolism, and fat breakdown.
YOUR LIVERRehab
5
The liver is your first line of defense against
toxins. It prevents toxins and other substances
from passing into the bloodstream by filtering
the blood that comes from your digestive tract
before transmitting it through the rest of your
body. Because the liver is such a huge part of
the digestive system, a healthy liver benefits
almost every aspect of your health. A healthy,
well-functioning liver can help you
experience…
• More Energy
• Clearer Skin
• Regular
Hormone Cycles
• Stronger Immune
System
• Regular
Digestion
• Better Oral
Health
• Normal Weight

The liver is the body’s detox powerhouse; it takes the brunt of all the toxins we encounter
in modern life. No matter how hard you try to keep your diet and environment clean, you
just can't avoid all the harmful toxins in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil
in which our food is grown.
The liver is the ultimate multi-tasker. It acts as a filter to remove toxins, it aids in digestion
by producing bile to help break down fat and absorb fat- and water-soluble vitamins
and minerals, and it plays a part in regulating glucose, blood pressure, blood sugar,
insulin, estrogen, testosterone, and immunity.
7
This quote from American philosopher William James
reminds us that the health of the liver is the key to living a
healthy life. The liver plays several roles in the regulation of
the blood, breaks down insulin, breaks down toxic
substances, and allows them to be excreted. Of the
approximately 500 functions performed by the liver, the
most important include synthesis of amino acids and
cholesterol; metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and
fats; and the production of bile which assists digestion in
the small intestine.
“Is life worth living? It
depends on the liver.”
~ William James
The liver supports almost
every other organ in the
body. If you want to live, you will need a healthy liver.
8
YOUR BODY’S DETOX FACTORY
A ventilator can take over for the lungs. An artificial pump can replace your heart. The liver’s functions are so
complex that its only replacement is a transplanted liver. If liver disease sets in, it affects just about every
organ of the body, including the kidneys, lungs, and heart. Without a healthy liver, it’s nearly impossible to
have a properly functioning metabolism, healthy circulation, balanced hormones, and strong digestion.
Everything you swallow is filtered by the liver. Food, drinks, and medicines are
digested by the stomach and processed by the intestines, then they get absorbed
into the blood and filtered by the liver.
9
Because of the vital importance
of the liver and its functions,
evolution has ensured that it
can regenerate itself.
With consistent nutritional
supplementation, the liver cannot
only release toxins, but
regenerate cells and rejuvenate
the complete organ.
This Gives You The Power To Take Back Your Health!

“Water before a meal is nectar. It replenishes fluids and encourages juicy digestive organs. Small sips
during a meal is honey. It helps turn the food into a sauce. Water after a meal is poison because it
dilutes stomach acids.” – Dr. Vasant Lad
In case you haven’t heard, getting enough water in our diet is kind of a big deal. There are so many
reasons for, and benefits to, increasing our daily water intake that skipping out on this foundation of
life just doesn’t make sense. Drinking more water, or rather sipping more water, is about preventing
dehydration as much as it is about replenishing and exchanging the fluids in our body, keeping our
cells hydrated, and keeping our blood alkaline.
19
• Our blood is 96% water; it helps transport nutrients &
oxygen (and components of the immune system) to all
cells of the body (which differ in size and hold differing
amounts of water)
• The brain is 75% water, the heart 75%, the lungs 86%, the
liver 85%, the kidneys 83%, bones 22%, and both saliva
and perspiration are 95% water
• On average, water makes up 60 - 70% of body weight.
Babies have the most water, being born at about 78%.
By one year of age, that amount drops to about 65%.
Adult men’s bodies are about 60% water, and adult
women have about 55% of their bodies made of water
20
Essential systems throughout the
body can become impaired if
the body does not receive a
continuous, safe, and reliable
supply of water. The vast
majority of people are
chronically dehydrated, and
over time, long-term health
conditions can develop.
Dehydration causes toxins to
build up in the body due to
infrequent urination. With
dehydration, your blood
becomes thicker, resulting in
the liver not being able to
properly filter toxins which can
potentially lead to damage of
other organs.
Dehydration is the result for
many as they select
alternatives like alcohol,
caffeinated drinks, and sugar-
laden water replacements that
worsen dehydration. The
dehydration process is
essentially compounding itself
and resulting inflammation.
21
ABSORB MORE WATER. HYDRATE BETTER.
One of the simplest and most dramatic ways we can improve how
much water our body absorbs, and increase our overall health at every
level, is to add nutrients that the water molecules can bind to. Then
sipping the enhanced water so that our body and cells absorb the
added nutrients.

"Time-restricted eating didn't just prevent but also reversed
obesity,” says Satchidananda Panda, an associate professor
at the Salk Institute who oversaw the studies. “That was
exciting to see...”
Precisely how a time-based eating pattern staved off weight
gain and illness is not fully understood, but Dr. Panda and his
colleagues believe that the time at which food is eaten
influences a body's internal clock.
“Mealtimes have more effect on circadian rhythm than dark
and light cycles. And circadian rhythm in turn affects the
function of many genes in the body that are known to
involve metabolism,“ Dr. Panda says.
INTERMITTENT FASTdeep cleansing takes [a night’s] time
23
Your body has only so much energy each day to perform all of
the complicated, behind-the-scenes work that keeps you alive.
That energy is limited, so your body must constantly prioritize
how it’s distributing energy, what functions are being
performed first, and what the priorities are.
Digestion is one of the most energy consuming functions of the
body (we’re all too familiar with food comas). So if your body is
constantly tied up with the process of digestion, it will put
deeper cleansing on hold.
When you limit eating to a 12-hour window, you give your body
a break from digesting food. Since so much of your daily
energy goes to digesting the foods that you eat, your body will
have a lot more freed-up energy when you are fasting,
Your body will use this extra energy to perform functions that it
normally doesn't have enough time to. For instance, like healing
old wounds and removing built-up toxins that have been in your
body for years.
After your evening meal, leave a twelve-hour window before
having your morning meal. If you have your evening meal at 7
pm, you should have your morning meal at 7 am or later.
Contain your eating to 12 hours a day or less. And pay attention
to when you begin. The clock starts, Dr. Panda says, with “that
first cup of coffee with cream and sugar in the morning.”
If you fill your belly late at night and then eat
early again the next day, your body isn’t given
the time or opportunity to clean house.
WHY FASTING MAKES SENSE
24
The twelve-hour window can be a challenge to make happen every day but committing to it will help you get the most
out of your new HBN Cleanse lifestyle. The twelve-hour eating schedule will become your new normal. This is how you will
eat every day so that your body will always have time to divert energy to functions other than digestion.
The body sends the signal to go into deep detox mode approximately eight hours after your last meal.
Then the body needs another four hours to do a deep clean.

“Sleep services all aspects of our body in one way or
another: molecular, energy balance, as well as
intellectual function, alertness, and mood,” says Dr.
Merrill Mitler, a sleep expert and neuroscientist at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), in a story on the
NIH website.
Provide your body with tools to rehab and support

Every human possesses an advanced physiological system,
the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is a crucial
regulatory system that is already making cannabinoid-like
structures that foster cellular balance throughout nearly
every biological system in the body.
Research seems to indicate that the ECS might function
more properly and efficiently in regulating vital biological
functions like sleep, appetite, pain modulation, mood
enhancement, and libido through the introduction of hemp-
derived cannabinoids like CBD.
The ECS regulates the body's general state of balance,
impacting such functions as mood, sleep, appetite,
hormone regulation, and pain and immune response.

ESSENTIAL OILS & YOUR LIVER
As the metabolic powerhouse of the body, our liver is
responsible for processing proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and
other nutrients into forms more easily utilized by the rest of our
body. The liver also plays a vital role in clearing the blood of
drugs, alcohol, and other substances that may be potentially
harmful or toxic.
Many essential oils are hepatic in nature, which means that
they stimulate, strengthen, and tone the liver, thereby helping
increase bile flow and detoxification. Essential oils, combined
with other modalities, can be a great way to support the liver
as it does its important job.
There are thousands of different
kinds of molecules in essential oils,
many of which mimic the
molecules used by our bodies for
support, maintenance, and
regeneration.
The chemical constituents
contained in essential oil
molecules can produce
therapeutic effects through their
interaction with the cells in our
bodies.

HepaDetox is a blend of essential oils that are known
to help the liver detox and also to regenerate and
rebuild liver cells. It is important to protect the liver
and to help it detox when possible. The liver must deal
with everyday toxins such as drugs and alcohol, food
additives, and any other poisons that find their way
into the digestive system along with toxins that we
breathe in or are exposed to through the skin

CARROT SEED
Carrot Seed is a very full essential oil, and therefore a
precious aid in therapy, and able to be assimilated just as
well through the skin as orally. It has the strongest affinity for
the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and skin. It is an anti-
inflammatory agent which may assist the body with
cardiovascular functions.
Carrot Seed is an excellent purifier due to its detoxifying
effect on the liver. It is both diuretic and hepatic, operating
well as both a kidney and liver cleanser.
An animal study suggests that Carrot Seed may be an
effective antioxidant with benefits against liver damage.
daucus carota
Carrot Seed has diuretic and

Unlike many other herbs and essential oils, numerous health
benefits of Peppermint leaves and Peppermint essential oil
have been studied and proven by the scientific community.
Cooling properties that help ease pain, inflammation, and
muscle cramps and spasms are one of the biggest reasons
Peppermint oil is so popular.
mentha piperita
Peppermint stimulates bile flow
while relaxing bile ducts and
helping to break down fats. It can
be beneficial in the reduction of
“bad” cholesterol, thereby making
the liver’s job of filtering toxins
easier.
Peppermint is also helpful for
inhibiting blockages in the kidneys
and gallbladder, as well as

ROSEHIP SEED
Rosehips, also called Rose Hips, are the fruit left behind after
a rose has flowered and dropped its petals. Rosehips begin
to form after the successful pollination of flowers in Spring or
early Summer, and they ripen in late Summer through
Autumn.
Rosehip Oil has been used in aromatherapy for centuries,
and according to a 2009 study, inhaling Rosehip Oil reduces
autonomic responses like systolic blood pressure, blood
oxygen saturation, and breathing rate. Additionally,
participants who inhaled Rosehip Oil were calmer and more
relaxed than those in the control group.

Rosehip Oil is a good source of
Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and
Vitamin F, a fatty acid made of
linoleic acid and alpha-

"In a healthy body, the process of detoxification runs
smoothly," says Dr. Mark Hyman, a functional medicine
doctor and New York Times best-selling author.
"When you become toxic, the mechanism for detoxification
in the liver gets sluggish, and certain toxins can remain
active longer than we want or than our systems can handle.
This makes us sick and impedes normal metabolism. It also
causes fluid retention, bloat, and puffiness.“
Lemon juice helps detox the body by aiding in the removal
of toxins that can build up in the liver.
