Welcome, Alexandre Snow
Build The Foundation, Build The Man
Prepared just for you by DocTA Herbalist Dwight · Mayan Botanicals. A simple, step-by-step natural path: clean the inside, feed the body on nature's clock, calm the legs, and sleep like you mean it.
Alexandre, You Said You Want A Good Foundation. Let's Pour It.
You told me you want modern medicine to be your backup, not your only plan. You want to put on a healthy 25 pounds, get your sleep in order, and prepare your body for a detox. And you're thinking about starting a family. That is a man building for the long run.
In the naturopathic way, we don't chase symptoms one at a time. We clean the rivers of the body (lymph, liver, gut), we feed you real, rich food on nature's clock, and we let the body do what it was made to do: repair and build. Your energy sits at a 6, your sleep at a 3, your stress is high most days, and big plates of pasta, bread and dessert put you to sleep. Over the next 30 days we move every one of those numbers in the right direction.
You give your gift to the community every day in the barber chair, in your art, and soon with the youth. This plan is how you keep your own tank full while you pour into others.
You weren't sure of your A1C. To set a true starting line, I recommend a basic blood panel with any clinic or doctor: A1C, vitamin D, iron, thyroid and a basic metabolic panel. Then we measure your progress against real numbers. And one leg rule: if one leg ever turns red, hot, hard or painful, or suddenly swells much more than the other, get seen by a doctor that same day.
What We Are Working Toward, Together
Build A Healthy 25 Pounds
Solid weight, not puffy weight: real food, healthy fats, plant and sea protein, and simple strength work so the pounds land as muscle.
Deep, Regular Sleep
From a 3 to a 7 and up. Early dinner, morning light, a wind-down ritual and the same bedtime. Sleep is where the body builds.
Calm The Swelling In Your Legs
We move the lymph (the body's drainage) with the Lymphatic Flush, walking, dry brushing and legs-up time, so your veins carry less load.
Your First Real Cleanse
The detox you asked for: 9 days for the liver, 30 days for the lymph, and a gentle clearing of parasites and unwanted guests, with no bathroom emergencies.
Steady Energy, No Food Coma
You already noticed it: fish and vegetables feel good, heavy starch puts you to sleep. We pair every starch with protein and healthy fat.
A Strong Base For Family
Habits that last a lifetime: water, sleep, clean food, movement and calm. You'll be in top shape for the family you're planning.

๐ฅ 30-Day Meal Plan
Every breakfast, lunch and dinner mapped, with recipes, shopping list and prep guide.
๐ This Handout
Your daily schedule, doses and tracker in one place. Keep it on your phone.
You're paid in full. Thank you. Pick your Day 1 (best on a Monday), do your Sunday shop and prep, and start. On Day 30 we sit down together, check your weight, your sleep and your legs, and decide your next 30 days. The goal for this month: clean inside, heavier on the scale, lighter in the legs, deeper sleep.
Your Complete Daily Schedule
Same rhythm every day. Three meals. Last bite by 5 PM. Your biggest meal is lunch, when your digestion is strongest. Front-load your food and your water, and let the evening be calm.
Step outside or stand at an open window for 10 minutes, even on a cloudy New York morning. Morning light sets your sleep clock for tonight. Drink your Celtic Salt Morning Water: a pinch of Celtic sea salt in 8 oz spring water with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
9-Day Liver Cleanse: 3 droppers in 2 oz of spring water, first thing, empty stomach. After Day 9 you stop and rest the liver 21 days.
8 to 12 oz of your Lymphatic Flush brew, warmed up, on an empty stomach. Start with 8 oz in Week 1, then move up. Then dry brush your legs (feet up toward the hips) for 3 minutes.
From your 30-Day Calendar below. Sit down, chew slowly, no rushing out the door. Then Detox Non Diarrhea (dose 1).
A handful of nuts with fruit, or your Builder Shake (recipe below). This replaces the Ensure: same calories, real food. Matcha, if you have it, goes here and never after noon.
Your fullest plate of the day. Then Detox Non Diarrhea (dose 2) and a 10-minute walk, even just around the block between clients.
8 to 12 oz warm, at least 2 hours after lunch. Taking it in the afternoon, not at night, keeps you from waking up to use the bathroom.
Your seafood and vegetable plate from the calendar. Then Detox Non Diarrhea (dose 3) if you are taking it 3 times today. Nothing but water and herbal tea after 5 PM.
30 minutes of simple strength work (see the Healthy Weight Builder section). Muscle is the healthy weight we want. On the other days, an easy walk.
Lie down with your legs up the wall for 10 minutes. This drains the legs and calms the nervous system at the same time. Warm cup of chamomile or lemon balm tea.
Phone on the charger outside the bed. Write tomorrow's 3 most important tasks on paper so your mind can let go of the business. Dim the lights.
Dark, cool room, one pillow for your neck, a pillow under your feet if your legs feel heavy. If you work late, keep the same wake-up time anyway. That is what trains the clock.
Aim for 80 oz of spring water daily, about 5 of your bottles, not 3. Your Lymphatic Flush and morning salt water count. Drink most of it before 6 PM so the night stays quiet.
How To Take Everything
Big print. Simple words. Keep this page open on your phone or print it and put it on the refrigerator.
๐ฟ Lymphatic Flush (8 oz Herbal Powder Jar)
1 to 2 times daily, on an empty stomach · 7 AM and 3 PMMake the brew: Boil 1 gallon of distilled water. Once it is boiling, add
10 scoops and let it boil for 5 minutes. Let it cool, put the pot in the
fridge, then strain into glass jars.
Drink: warm up 8 to 12 oz and drink it hot. Start with 8 oz once a day and
build up as your body adjusts. Use it every day for the full 30 days.
Herbs inside: Rhubarb Root, Blessed Thistle, Burdock Root, Dandelion, Elderberry, Mullein, Chaparral, Guaco.
Store the jar sealed in a cool, dry place or in the fridge.
๐ก๏ธ Detox Non Diarrhea
2 to 3 times per day · after breakfast, lunch and dinnerTwo half-droppers (ยฝ + ยฝ) in 2 oz of water, 2 to 3 times per day. Works naturally with your body to clear worms, parasites, extra bacteria and fungus, without sending you running to the bathroom. A clean gut absorbs more of your food, and that helps you gain.
๐ซ 9-Day Liver Cleanse Tincture
First thing in the morning · Days 1 through 93 droppers in 2 oz of spring water (bottled at the source). Mix and drink first thing in the morning for 9 days. Then rest 21 days. You can take it again starting Day 31.
๐ง Celtic Sea Salt Morning Water
Every morningYou already use Celtic salt. Keep it: a pinch in 8 oz of spring water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Sip slowly. This helps your water actually reach your cells.
Give your liver a clean run: no alcohol and no smoking (tobacco or herb) for these 30 days. If you ever notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, very dark urine, or ongoing belly pain, stop the herbs and call us and your doctor.
Your Healthy Weight Builder
Thin and lean, slow digestion, sometimes skipping meals: that is a body that needs consistent, rich, easy-to-digest food, not more fasting. Here is how we build.
๐ฝ๏ธ Never Skip, Always Three
Breakfast at 8, lunch at 12:30, dinner done by 5, plus the optional 10:30 snack. Skipped meals are lost pounds. Set phone reminders on busy shop days.
๐ฅ Add Healthy Fat To Every Plate
Avocado, olive oil, coconut milk, almond or peanut butter, tahini, nuts and seeds. Fat carries the most nourishment per bite. A spoonful of olive oil on lunch adds about 120 calories with no extra fullness.
๐ Protein At Every Meal
Salmon, whiting, snapper, shrimp, sardines, lentils, chickpeas, red peas, hemp seeds, eggs if you eat them. Protein plus movement is what turns food into muscle.
๐ Smart Starch, No Food Coma
Choose sweet potato, plantain, green banana, quinoa, brown rice, hominy corn and oats. Go easy on white pasta, sweet breads and dessert. Always pair the starch with protein and fat. That is what stops the after-meal sleepiness.
๐ฅค Builder Shake Replaces Ensure
Your homemade shake (recipe below) gives you more calories and real nutrients without the added sugar. Drink it at 10:30 AM or with breakfast.
๐๐พ Builder Movement, 3 Days A Week
30 minutes: squats, push-ups, lunges, rows with a band, and calf raises, 3 rounds of 10. Not cardio marathons. Short, strong, then rest and eat.
Same day, same time: Sunday morning after the bathroom, before breakfast. A healthy pace is about ยฝ to 1 pound a week. The cleanse may hold you steady in Week 1 or 2. That is normal. Keep eating fully.
Swelling & Your Legs
You stand behind the barber chair all day. Gravity pulls fluid down, and the veins in your legs work overtime. The lymph has no pump of its own. Your calf muscles are the pump. Here's how we help them.
Lymphatic Flush twice a day, morning and 3 PM, to help the body drain fluid.
Dry brush every morning: with a natural bristle brush, long strokes from your feet up toward your hips, 3 minutes. Always brush toward the heart.
Calf pumps at the chair: between every client, do 15 slow calf raises. That is your lymph pump working all day.
Legs up the wall: 10 minutes every evening at 8 PM.
Cool rinse: finish your shower with 30 seconds of cool water on your legs, from the feet up.
Support your stance: good cushioned shoes at work. Ask about light compression socks for long shop days.
Water and salt balance: 80 oz of water and your pinch of Celtic salt, not table salt and packaged food.
Your Sleep Reset
Eating at 10 or 11 at night keeps your body digesting when it should be repairing. Moving your last meal to 5 PM is the single biggest change for your sleep. These habits do the rest.
โ๏ธ Morning Light
10 minutes outside within an hour of waking, cloudy or not. Light in the morning makes sleep come easier at night.
๐ฝ๏ธ Done By 5
An empty stomach at bedtime means deeper sleep. If you're hungry at night in Week 1, have warm herbal tea and eat a bigger lunch tomorrow.
๐ต No Caffeine After Noon
Matcha only in the morning. Caffeine stays in the body 6 to 8 hours.
๐ Empty The Mind
High stress most days needs a release. At 9 PM, write tomorrow's top 3 tasks and one thing you're grateful for. Then the business waits until morning.
๐ซ Slow Breathing In Bed
Breathe in through the nose for 4, hold for 4, out slowly through the mouth for 8. Repeat 6 times. This tells the body it is safe to rest.
โฐ Same Wake Time
Even after a late night of work, get up at the same time. Bedtime will follow. Consistency trains the clock.
Three Meals A Day, Last Bite By 5 PM
Day 1 is a Monday. Breakfast 8:00 AM · Lunch 12:30 PM · Dinner 4:30, done by 5:00 PM. Gold-border days are your check-in days (liver cleanse start and end, weekly weigh-ins). Every dish is in the Recipes section below. Built from the foods you already love, plant-forward with seafood.

Your Weekly Preparation Guide
You told me time and cost are your two challenges. One Sunday session of about 2 hours covers most of your week.
๐ Sunday Morning: Shop
Weigh in first, then shop the list above. Beans, rice, oats and frozen fish keep costs down.
๐ฟ Sunday: Brew The Lymphatic Flush
1 gallon distilled water, 10 scoops, boil 5 minutes, cool, strain into jars, fridge. At 2 doses a day a gallon lasts about 5 to 6 days, so brew again midweek when it runs low.
๐ฒ Sunday Afternoon: Cook Once, Eat Three Times
Cook a pot of brown rice, a pot of quinoa, one curry or stew peas, and roast a tray of sweet potato and vegetables. Portion into containers for Monday to Wednesday lunches.
๐ฅฃ Night Before: Breakfast Ready
Mix your overnight oats jar, or set out the hominy porridge. A ready breakfast is a breakfast you won't skip.
๐ฅก When You Order Meal Prep
Your usual vegan meal prep spot works for lunch. Add ยฝ avocado, a handful of nuts or a drizzle of olive oil to boost the calories, and skip the dessert.
๐งด Herb Station
Liver Cleanse, Detox Non Diarrhea and a 2 oz shot glass on one tray next to the kettle. If it's in sight, it gets done. Pack a small bottle of Detox drops for the shop.
