Wellness Warriors,
I’m Kris Carr, author of the New York Times Best Seller, “Crazy Sexy Diet,” and founder of
Crazysexylife.com, an award-winning and fantabulous wellness site with daily articles from
leading experts and cutting-edge resources for building vibrant health and happiness. My
wake up call – a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, with no cure and no treatment (Zoinks!) – ignited a
personal revolution and taught me how to take responsibility for my well-being at the deepest
level imaginable. Now I want to show you how to step into your destiny and become the CEO
of your own health. Radiance is your natural state. You can banish the blocks that hold you
back with a plant-powered diet and Crazy Sexy lifestyle!

Each and every one of us has the power to ignite a wellness revolution in our kitchens.
Change now. Get juiced now. Learn to live like you really mean it and teach others to do the
same. By joining the revolution, you vow to wake up and take a stand for your well-being. No
one can take better care of you than wise, brilliant, capable, and STRONG you.

This self-care thing is bigger than many of us imagine. The pursuit of personal health, spiritual
wealth and happiness is actually a political statement, a peaceful protest and a powerful act
of love. Why? Because in order to care for ourselves in a full-tilt-boogie-I’m gonna-walk-the-
talk sorta way, we must rebel against the broken systems that support dis-ease and dismantle
the status quo. We can’t wait for special interests, government policies, subsidies, agribusiness,
factory farming, pharmaceutical industries and advertisers to change. But we can get off our
sofas, vote with our forks and knives and heal the way we eat, drink and think.

Read the guiding principles of the Crazy Sexy diet and lifestyle I’ve outlined below and make
these simple health habits stick. Get inspired – print it out, hang it on your fridge and read it
daily! This step alone will have a huge impact on your life.

Keep in mind, this is just an overview of the guiding principles. To dig deep and make lasting
changes, grab your copy of “Crazy Sexy Diet” here.

Make juice not war and remember, you are the change you’ve been waiting for…

Peace & Revolution,

Kris Carr
 CRAZY SEXY MANIFESTO:
Guidelines for Dazzling Wellness Warriors
1. Get back to nature and back to the
garden, preferably the organic garden
when affordable. When not, choose
fruits and veggies that are sprayed less.
Find the Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides
at foodnews.org. There are over 80,000
chemicals in our world today; eating
them and putting them on our bodies
impairs our immune systems.
2. Create an anti-inflammatory diet.
Learn about the health detriments of
inflammatory foods (wheat, gluten,
dairy, meat, sugar, coffee, soda, energy
drinks, alcohol, processed foods – AKA
the white stuff). Also, get curious about
pH, the acid/alkaline balance, and say
goodbye to the standard American diet
(acidic and inflammatory) in favor of
alkaline organic veggies, sprouts, green
drinks, green smoothies, enzymes, vita-
mins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutri-
ents, oxygen and peace.
3. Make juice not war. A nutrient
dense green juice is a terrific way to get
an instant blast of sustainable energy.
Green smoothies are fantastic too.
Adding healthy fats like avocado or
raw almond butter to your smoothie will
help you feel satisfied longer. Here’s an
idea, reach for a fresh vegetable juice or
smoothie, instead of your morning cup of
java. Your adrenals will thank you! Check
out my favorite juicer and blender and
keep the green liquids flowing!
4. Drink lots of clean, purified
water. Aim for drinking half your weight
in ounces of purified water. Add a
squeeze of fresh lemon to your glass to
help alkalize your body. If you’re drink-
ing green juices regularly, you’ll need
less water. For an extra boost of alkalinity,
check out my favorite water ionizer.
5. Decrease the amount of animal
products you eat (especially dairy
products), and move towards a varied
plant-based diet. The more animal
products we ingest, the more our chronic
disease rates soar. Need more convinc-
ing? Check out what Dr. Neal Barnard
says here. Begin by reducing the amount
of flesh and animal fluids you consume
(including eggs) to no more than 2 to 3
times per week, instead of 2 to 3 times
per day. Choose card-deck size portions
and look for the Certified Humane seal of
approval.
6. Dump refined sugars. If it’s made
in a lab, it takes a lab to digest. If it has
a shelf life longer than you, don’t eat it.
White sugar fuels cancer and Candida,
spikes your blood sugar, taxes your im-
mune system, robs you of minerals, is
highly addictive and floods your body
with excess insulin and IGF1, which stimu-
late the growth of cancer cells. Learn
about the connection between sugar
and cancer from Jacki Glew, RN, here.
Get to know the glycemic index and
choose low-glycemic foods as much as
possible.
7. Shake your booty and sweat your
prayers. Your lymph system, which
carries away waste, needs you!
Unlike your heart, it doesn’t have a
pump. Aerobics is the pump. Brisk
walking is the pump. Yoga is the pump.
Shake it 4 to 5 days per week for at least
35 minutes. And instead of carrying the
weight of the world, choose weight-
bearing exercises that will strengthen
your bones and your God pod. I love
rebounding and for a deep sweat that
removes toxins and heavy metals, check
out this sauna.
8. You are what you eat and what
you don’t poop. When needed, give
your colon a regular spring-cleaning.
That’s right, flood your body with alkalin-
ity and flush it of acidic toxins. Our bodies
are designed to assimilate and eliminate.
As the good stuff goes in, the bad stuff
should come out, on a regular basis. Our
grandmothers used to prescribe enemas
to help us release blockages, headaches
and toxins. Once laxatives came along,
we abandoned holistic wisdom for syn-
thetic chemicals. Don’t be shy; it’s just
a small hose and some filtered water
:). Check out Tracy Piper’s step-by-step
guide for a smooth moving colonic here.
9. Use natural skincare products.
Your skin is your largest organ and much
of what you put on it, you literally drink
in. Find out the toxicity levels of your
favorite lotions and potions at skindeep.
org. When toxins, chemicals and poisons
build up, you break down. This is known
as “body burden,” and it greatly
accelerates the aging process and
impairs your immune system. Annmarie
Gianni’s skin care line is divine!
10. Create an anti-inflammatory
lifestyle. Vibrant health is not just about
what you eat, it’s also about dealing
with what’s eating you. Inflammation
(inner fire) creates stress. And stress cre-
ates acidity. Find and regularly commit
to activities that help you “bring it down
a notch.” Some ideas: meditation, deep
breathing exercises, gratitude journaling,
dancing, guided relaxation or visualiza-
tion CDs, therapy, Emotional Freedom
Technique (EFT or tapping), deep relax-
ation, prayer, self-reflection and time in
nature. Learn about my daily practice
here.
11. Snooze. Snooze. Snooze.
Optimal hours: 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Without
proper sleep, your body cannot fully de-
tox, heal and repair itself. Check out 13
tips to help you sleep like a baby from Dr.
Frank Lipman here.
12. Chew. Your stomach does not have
teeth. And stop eating late so that when
you snooze, your body can focus on re-
pair instead of digestion.
13. Set boundaries, so you have the
physical and emotional time to take
care of yourself – it’s not selfish, it’s self-
preserving. Take a “time inventory” and
systematically plug up the leaks.
14. Make time for fun, love and
laughter. Giggles are good for your im-
mune system. Check out my Love List on
what makes me laugh instantly.
15. Don’t be beige. Perfection is boring.
Consistency doesn’t mean you have to
be rigid. Imagine yourself traveling on a
gorgeous, healthy highway. It’s okay to
take detours from time to time, to check
out scenic roads and chocolate. Just
be really honest with yourself, and don’t
make detours a regular habit.
16. Educate yourself! We need to
change how we’ve been thinking of
illness. Let go of the old paradigm of
dys-functional medicine that only treats
the symptoms. Your body is made of
inter-connected systems. An imbalance
in one system has a cascading effect to
all the other systems resulting in dis-ease.
Watch this video from Dr. Mark Hyman
about the root cause of disease and the
innovative approach of functional
medicine.
17. Detox regularly. Whether it’s your
closet, your hybrid car or your colon,
clear the clutter and the toxins! Mental
and physical clutter causes interference
on your hotline to the divine. And toxins
are just an invitation to create imbalanc-
es in your gorgeous God pod. Find out
20 tips to detox your home here and the
secret to making your detox effective
from Dr. Frank Lipman here. And if you
really need any more reasons to detox,
say goodbye to cellulite with Jen Reilly,
RN here.
18. Be a bargainista. Let’s face it, this
diet and lifestyle can definitely cost a
little more in the short term. This lifestyle
ain’t for sissies! Get creative with cost
cutting strategies beyond clipping cou-
pons. Check out my blog here for 12 hot
tips to save some green on your grocer-
ies.
19. Build a support system. You’re
built like a reacecar, honey, and you
need a pitt crew to keep yourself running
in top condition. My pitt crew includes
a chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage
therapist, EFT practitioner, life coach and
yoga teachers. Check out my advice for
putting your crew together here.
20. Take it on the road. Whether
you’re a busy mom, jet-setting fashioni-
sta, college co-ed or career-climbing
commuter, staying healthy on the go
can be tricky. Until there’s a green
juice bar in every airport, wellness war-
riors have got to be creative and plan
ahead. Get my 12 easy peasy tips for
staying green while on the road here.
