Announcements, What Our Liver Does, What the Morning Routine is, and how to enhance it
Morning Routine Poem
I decree to start the day fat-free
So your liver can find the key
And can be set free
Of being fatty and sluggish.
How? You ask? Start with a smoothie
I promise it’s an easy recipe
Let’s take out the perplexity
And help our liver to flourish.
Just throw some fruit into a blender
With some water to stay slender
Your liver will thank the sender.
And it will be able to accomplish…
All of the healing jobs that are required
To help keep you from feeling tired
It will utilize all the ingredients it acquired
And your liver will cherish the moment!
To help your body
FLOURISH!

Morning Routine Announcement!
I’m excited to announce my Morning Routine Series which I’ll be posting for the next 20 weeks!
I was inspired to write the poem above after listening to a TikTok about gardening. It was by a rapper named, Gardening with Goo, who was rapping about starting a garden. I was inspired to write a rap about morning cleansing and staying fat-free.
I am not a rapper!
So I changed the song into the poem you see above! Then, I decided to make this series about my morning routine as it’s been a staple in my life since following Medical Medium in August of 2020. Continue reading to see:

Why I am focusing on Morning Routine?
While my cravings have gone down a lot following Medical Medium protocols, I haven’t eliminated all the “no-foods” list. The foods on this list prevent optimal health because these foods feed pathogens or they don’t support a healthy immune system.
I STRUGGLE with following all of his information every day throughout the entire day! The morning routine was one of those things that just clicked. Even if I have 3 donuts that day, I know I did my body good by following my morning routine (or at least parts of it when traveling!)
Despite my challenges following MM protocols the morning routine to help the liver cleanse has been a solid foundation since starting my journey!
I am far from perfect with following all the Medical Medium protocols. I especially have a hard time staying away from dairy which I LOVE! I am also a sweet eater and love cakes and cookies and donuts so these are my weaknesses.
Additionally, I’m not super chronically ill where I’m on mattress island. People who tend to follow his protocols fully all at once are chronically ill and cannot go through their daily routines as a result.
That is not me. I had some aches and pains and I am having issues with fertility and acne, but dairy, gluten, and eggs don’t really bother me too much after I eat them. However, following the MM lifestyle, I have noticed if I have too many of these things, I will have negative reactions.
Every time I eat a lot of dairy, my acne flares up. Gluten makes me itchy. Eggs make me feel lethargic.
I never ate eggs too much before, but I had them during the summer for breakfast with my father for the first time in about 2 years and they made me feel pretty terrible overall when eaten by themselves. I’ll still have cakes and cookies and they won’t bother me too much.
As a side note, MM says that it’s not me that craves dairy. It’s the Strep and other pathogens that basically hijack our systems to make us think we are craving things when really they crave them.
Again, the morning routine has been a staple in my life despite the challenges of giving up the No Foods list.
What Our Liver Does for Us
It prepares ahead of time and cleans up after you make mistakes. “It’s a storehouse, a filter, a processing center, a garbage service, and more. It shields you, it protects you and it defends you from every angle.” P5 Liver Rescue by Anthony William.
In Part 1 of here are 7 chapters dedicated to what the liver does in “Liver Rescue” by Anthony William the Medical Medium. This is all in Part 1: Your Liver’s True Calling: Miracle Peacekeeper.

Chapter 7: Your Heroic Liver: The Liver’s Immune System
In chapter 6, MM mentions that the liver has these little Elves (nodules) that help sweep all the toxins and sort the good stuff from the bad stuff. These elves are CONSTANTLY working. If they are overburdened then they can’t clean all the bad stuff up as efficiently. As a result toxins and pathogens may get past the liver and create dirty blood.
The liver is also very intelligent and anticipates when we will eat that fat. It will start producing bile so it can break down the fat in the body. If we eat fat in the morning it has to stop doing all the other functions mentioned above and focuses on bile production.
Finally, I know many people struggle with weight gain. MM dedicates an entire 6 pages in Liver Rescue on Weight Gain and why it happens. The Liver Rescue Moring can help with this, but you need to stay low fat for most if not all of the day to see the scale move!
I’ve had the most success staying fat-free on a cleanse with losing weight. However, I’m still working on this aspect of the information as I have gained back a lot of my weight this summer!
What is the Morning Routine?
The morning routine is the Liver Rescue Morning outlined in AW’s books Liver Rescue and Cleanse to Heal. On pages 334-338 AW outlines what the Liver Rescue Morning is and why it’s so important. Here is a brief summary. I encourage you to read the book to find out even more and read the living words present in the book directly from Spirit of Compassion!
We do the morning routine to give our liver a chance to detox the body for even more hours after we wake up. There are just two simple steps.
-
We need to hydrate to help the liver flush out the toxins and other things.
-
We need to avoid radical fats so the liver can continue detoxing.
Detox
The liver goes to sleep at the same time we do. It wakes up early in the morning around 3-4 AM so it can start cleaning and sorting all the toxins we picked up through the previous day (or even previous years).
Your liver knows you won’t be drinking espresso or other fatty meals in these early hours while you are asleep. It takes this chance to start cleaning and doing its other cleansing functions.
When you wake up the blood is dirty with all the toxins and other things ready to leave your system that the liver discarded.
Hydration
It is best that you start your morning with a hydrating drink like lemon water to flush out these toxins through the kidneys and urinary tract. MM mentioned in a live one day that the only way our body releases toxins and pathogens is through the digestive system. We don’t release toxins through the skin.
If you don’t start the day with lemon water, lime water, celery juice, or cucumber juice to hydrate, then the liver has to absorb all these toxins again rather than letting the body flush them out.
Here are some examples of ways to hydrate in the morning:
-
Lemon water = 1 lemon to 32 oz. OR ½ lemon to 16 oz water.
-
Lime water = 2 limes to 32oz. water OR 1 lime to 16 oz of water.
-
Celery juice = Juicing celery in a juicer. Don’t add any water or anything to it. About 1.25 -1.5 bunches makes me 32oz using the Omega Juicer.
-
Cucumber juice = juice the cucumber in a juicer. I need two English Cucumbers and 6 apples to make 32oz of cucumber apple juice.
-
Smoothies with no radical fats or nut butters.
-
Plain Fruit
Stay Away From Radical Fats
The minute you eat radical fats, your liver stops detoxing and starts producing bile to process the fat. That means it stops it’s other 2,0000 functions of cleaning and detoxing to focus on processing the fat. Stay away from the fats to increase the detox window!
Radical fats include but aren’t limited to nuts, nut butters, seeds, oil, avocado, coconut, eggs, bacon, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, whey protein powder, turkey, chicken, sausage, ham, and more. MM also has mentioned in a live that most protein sources = radical fat. All of the examples of radical fats mentioned above are protein except coconut and avocado!
Spirulina, an algae, is a protein but it is a much less fatty option and it is not considered a radical fat.
You can also find fat in a lot of fruits and veggies so don’t worry about consuming too little fat if you try to go fat-free. The fat in fruits and veggies is not a radical fat so you can eat most fruits and veggies in the morning. Just stay away from coconut and avocado.
Coconut water is fine as it doesn’t have radical fats. The meat of the coconut, coconut milk, and coconut cream are the fatty parts.
The Standard American Diet consists of having fat with every meal. When the liver is constantly producing bile for each meal, the good stuff that we eat in the meal like the fruits and veggies in a chicken salad, for example, don’t get absorbed as well because the liver is focusing more on producing that bile rather than sorting the nutrients for use.
Give your liver a break in the morning and stay fat-free! So your liver can find the key and be set free of being fatty and sluggish!
How to enhance the Effects of a Liver Rescue Morning
In this section, you will find out more about the types of water we can hydrate with and what the deal is with protein and all about blood sugar. MM mentions that there are two types of water contained in fruits and vegetables. These two types of water can help supercharge your morning routine!
Hydrobioactive Water
Hydrobioactive water, “holds life-giving nutrients to support your physical health and hydrate your cells much better than any drink of plain water can.” p336 Liver Rescue.
In “Life Changing Foods” MM tells us that hydrobioactive water is living water. It replenishes the body and feeds the bloodstream. P31.
You can find this bioactivate this kind of water by squeezing lemon or lime into the water. You can also put cucumbers and aloe gel into the water to activate it as well. Finally, coconut water, smoothies, and fresh vegetable or fruit juices are all incredibly hydrating and help the liver remove toxins from the blood and body.
Cofactor Water
Cofactor water “Has nutrients that specifically feed you on a soul level”. P 336 Liver Rescue. This water gives you an emotional advantage.
In “Life Changing Foods” MM states that cofactor water has trace minerals, mineral salts, enzymes, and phytochemicals that specifically feed us spiritually and emotionally. This helps keep our souls alive! P31.
Our livers are emotional.
MM states in Liver Rescue that if you get a liver from someone in a transplant, then that person sometimes adopts the demeanor of the person whose liver was given. They know this because they knew the person that donated the liver.
Our livers are emotional and giving them an emotional advantage by giving them nutrients that help feed our mind, body and soul is a good morning to me!
More Information on these Waters
Taken from p 31 in Life-Changing Foods:
You will find both hydrobioactive water and cofactor water in fresh fruits and vegetables. They are divided by cell walls in the fruits and veggies but when you eat them they combine. Our bodies can differentiate and use each part where it is needed.
MM states that science doesn’t know about cofactor water because we currently study it by pulling all the parts apart. When we open the fruit and vegetables those cell walls break like when we eat them and science cannot differentiated between the types of water.
When we start studying water in the system of the whole plant like we study blood and lymph in the body, then we can start to see how they are “separate yet aligned.”
Worried About Protein?
Some people may think they need protein to feel full longer in the mornings. (I used to be one of them!) MM says this full feeling is deceptive. The full feeling doesn’t accurately reflect what we need.
What we need is glucose which is sugar. Glucose is what runs pretty much our entire body. Here is a quote from the Medical Medium’s “Fruit Fear” article on his blog:
“That’s right, your brain runs on sugar, which is glucose, and not fat. Every single movement you take, task you do, thought you think, and word you speak requires glucose. Your brain heats up when you think and requires sugar to keep it cool. This explains the instinctual cravings for sugar that we experience during highly emotional and stressful situations in life. Like antifreeze acts as a coolant for an overheated car, the glucose we get from eating fruit helps to calm and cool our brain.” MM Blog Article LINK
Fruits and vegetables do have protein and amino acids. The most bioavailable protein that our bodies can use is available in leafy greens.
Most high protein sources like eggs, turkey, bacon, coconut, whey protein, etc. are also high in fat. Their main calorie source is fat.
Remember, fat stops the liver’s detox processing.
Caffeine
Stay away from caffeine because caffeine makes your adrenals produce adrenaline and this adrenaline is corrosive. While it may feel like you get an energy boost in the moment, you will have a low after that energy boost because our livers need to process that adrenaline.
Blood Sugar and Glucose
Going back to the idea of our body needing sugar and glucose to run we can understand why it is so important to eat every two hours.
Blood sugar can drop anywhere between 45minutes to a couple of hours after a meal depending on what people are dealing with neurologically and other sensitivities. If someone is more sensitive because they have had a viral load or symptoms, then their blood sugar drops quicker because it is used up quickly.
When the blood sugar drops, then the liver uses reserve glucose (sugar) to make things work inside the body. Most people have low glucose stores in the liver so then the adrenaline kicks in. This corrosive adrenaline not only wears out your adrenals but it also affects our liver and nervous systems as well in a negative way.
Fat also blocks glucose from being absorbed and stored properly. Therefore, if you have that bacon egg and cheese bagel maybe with some leafy greens and tomato in the mix; it has a really hard time getting absorbed properly from all the other fats in that meal blocking proper absorption.
MM mentions that he knew people that would eat a protein-rich diet in the morning but still feel very hungry as well. That means they may not be getting enough glucose. This could happen from not eating enough glucose or from eating high-fat meals all day that block glucose absorption.
If a fruit-filled morning leaves you not feeling full; then you may have to work on building up your glucose stores if they were depleted. Have patience and you will see that improve.
Many people including me feel more satisfied with a Liver Rescue Morning than ever before! I know I do!
What I Will be Covering in the next 20 + Weeks
