LIGHT
Early Morning Sun Exposure: Engage in 10-15 minutes of early morning sun exposure daily, without sunglasses
unless necessary for eye protection. This practice helps balance your circadian rhythm by signaling it's daytime,
thus boosting cortisol for an energetic start to the day.

Red Light Therapy: For areas with limited sunlight, Red Light Therapy is an excellent substitute. Light Path
LED offers effective red light therapy devices that provide Near-Infrared (NIR) and Red Infrared wavelengths,
similar to the sun's benefits. Use code 'jf5' for a 5% discount. This therapy supports various bodily functions,
including hormone balance, energy production, and sleep quality.

Indoor Lighting Alternatives: Avoid bright LED lights due to their potential harm to eyes and sleep cycles.
Instead, use alternative light bulbs with a red tone or incandescent bulbs with a yellow hue, which are gentler
on the eyes and less disruptive to natural sleep patterns.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses: We recommend Vivarays for blue light blocking glasses. Their high-quality
products and commendable mission make them an excellent choice for protecting your eyes from artificial blue
light, especially in the evening hours. Acces Vivarays (code jfbiowellness) Save 15%

Minimize Electronic Device Use at Night: Limit the use of electronic devices 2-3 hours before bedtime. This
practice allows your body to enter a restful state, promoting the production of melatonin for a good night's
sleep.

The advent of artificial light has inadvertently disrupted our natural human
rhythms. While it's a brilliant technological achievement, it poses challenges
to our internal clocks and sleep patterns. This is why blue light blocking
glasses like Vivarays have become essential, not just optional. They mitigate
the effects of late-night light exposure, which can lead to sleep deprivation
and impaired brain signaling. This disruption significantly increases the risk
of various diseases, underscoring the importance of managing our exposure
to artificial light for better health.

DIET
Navigating the World of Nutrition with Flexibility and Individuality. In the realm of nutrition, one size certainly
does not fit all. At RogersHood, we emphasize the importance of flexibility and individuality in diet, recognizing
that various factors such as genetics, lifestyle, activity level, age, hormonal balance, body composition, blood
sugar levels, menopause, pregnancy, seasonal changes, and ancestry play crucial roles in determining the most
suitable diet for an individual.

Anti-inflammatory Diet: Start by eliminating processed and packaged foods, focusing instead on a diverse range
of whole, organically grown foods with minimal pesticide use. Local sourcing is also encouraged. For tips on
cleaning produce, refer to our Recipe Book.

Healthy Fats: Avoid refined cooking and vegetable oils like canola, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, and corn
oils, as well as products like Crisco and Pam sprays. Opt for healthier options like avocado oil and ghee for
cooking, and organic cold-pressed olive oil for dressings or low-temperature cooking. Note: Individuals with the
APOE4 gene should monitor their saturated fat intake.

Quality Meat and Eggs: Emphasizing the importance of meat and egg quality is crucial in a balanced diet. Choose
grass-fed and pasture-raised meats and eggs, which are not only more humane but also nutritionally superior.
These options tend to be richer in beneficial nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. They are
also less likely to contain antibiotics and hormones often found in conventionally raised livestock. Including these
healthier protein sources can contribute significantly to overall wellness and align with a holistic approach to
nutrition.

Proper Protein Intake: Ensuring adequate protein intake is vital especially at breakfast which will set you up for a
more balanced blood sugar throughout the day and reduce cravings. Aim for about 25-30 grams of protein per
meal to help balance blood sugar levels. This is a general guideline and should be tailored to individual needs. You
can use tools like MyFitnessPal or Chronometer to track your food for 1-2 weeks to get familiar with your
portions.

Reducing Sugar Intake: Cut out processed sugars such as corn syrup and liquid sugars found in sodas and pops.
Sweet cravings can often be linked to parasite or candida overgrowth and unbalanced blood sugar.

Fasting Principles: A simple fasting rule is the daily 12-hour window. For example, if you finish eating at 8 PM,
your next meal should be no earlier than 8 AM the following day. This is a minimum fasting window suitable for
most people. Extended fasting periods may require professional guidance.

Histamine/Food Sensitivity: Consider undertaking a 2-3 week elimination diet prior to starting your cleanse, as
research has shown this can significantly reduce inflammation and alleviate digestive issues and sensitivities.
Consult with your doctor for personalized advice. Note that some people may tolerate high-fermented foods well,
while others may not due to factors like gut bacteria composition and genetics.

STRESS & EMOTIONS
Stress Management Tools: Effective stress management is vital for overall well-being. Tools for managing stress
include mindfulness practices, physical activities like yoga or walking, journaling, and engaging in hobbies or
activities that bring joy and relaxation. The key is to find what works best for you and make it a regular part of
your routine.

Emotional Awareness: It's important to listen to and understand your emotions. Common emotions to be
mindful of include bitterness, resentment, discomfort, anger, disappointment, guilt, shame, anxiety, sadness,
and feeling overwhelmed. Recognizing these emotions is the first step in managing them effectively.

Reframing Limiting Beliefs: Our internal dialogue significantly impacts our health and well-being. Reflect on
how you speak to yourself. Are negative thoughts and beliefs, especially regarding illness, dominating your
mindset? This can be an opportunity for healing and releasing unhelpful thought patterns. Being aware of the
potential for seeking root causes as a trauma response is also crucial. Practice awareness and self-reflection to
initiate true healing.

Breathwork: An incredibly powerful and accessible tool for stress management is breathwork. Simple
techniques like box breathing – inhaling for 4 seconds, holding for 4 seconds, exhaling for 4 seconds, and
holding again for 4 seconds – can shift your body into a parasympathetic state, allowing for relaxation and
reset. Apps like Othership offer guided breathwork sessions.

Meditation: Another effective tool for managing stress is meditation. Guided meditations from experts like
Emily Fletcher and apps like Insight Timer can provide simple yet powerful ways to incorporate meditation
into your daily routine.

Daily Walking: Incorporate a daily walk without electronics, even just for 15 minutes after meals, to help relax
your mind and balance blood sugar levels. This simple activity can be a powerful tool in managing stress and
improving overall well-being.

Herbs and Supplements for Cortisol and Adrenal Management: Consider using adaptogenic herbs to support
cortisol and adrenal health. These herbs, including Ashwagandha, Rhodiola Rosea, and Holy Basil, help the
body adapt to stress and can improve overall stress response. As always, consult with a healthcare professional
before starting any new supplement regimen.

Additional factors that can impact stress levels include hormonal imbalances (like cortisol, estrogen, DHEA
fluctuations), digestive issues, toxins, parasites & pathogen overload, mold exposure, food sensitivities, lack of
physical activity, insufficient time in nature, inflammation, oxidative stress, and genetic predispositions.

GUT
Addressing Leaky Gut and Dysbiosis
Importance: Leaky gut allows harmful substances to enter the bloodstream, causing inflammation. Dysbiosis disrupts gut
balance, leading to health issues. Healing leaky gut and balancing gut flora is vital for effective parasite cleansing, ensuring
nutrient absorption and supporting gut and immune health. Incorporating Bovine Serum Immunoglobulins into your
regimen can significantly enhance intestinal integrity and boost immune function. They act as a binding agent, soaking up
the byproducts released during the elimination of pathogens, much like a sponge. ImmunoLin®, is a serum-derived bovine
immunoglobulin concentrate, is the only purified, dairy-free source of immunoglobulin G (IgG) available as a dietary
supplement. Immunoglobulins play an integral role in the support of healthy immune function at the gut and inflammation
levels. Microbiome Labs offers Immunoglobulins called IgG 2000. If you are looking which you can find in theRogersHood
Drainage Gut section in the Fullscript Account of our team member Jean-Felix.

Testing: Tests like the Gut Zoomer, Wheat Zoomer and Organic Acids Test can identify issues such as leaky gut, dysbiosis,
and overgrowth of bacteria, clostridia, fungus and yeast in the gastrointestinal tract.
Dietary Considerations: Avoiding foods that irritate the gut, such as gluten and dairy, is beneficial for both short-term
relief and long-term gut health, depending on your personalized dietary needs. This approach aids in gut healing and helps
reduce inflammation. Additionally, addressing micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in vitamins A and D, is essential for
maintaining immune health and supporting the integrity of the intestinal wall.

Biofilm Management
Role in Cleansing: Biofilms act as a shield for harmful microorganisms. Disrupting these biofilms is essential for exposing
pathogens to cleansing agents. Employing natural disruptors, such as Gutty, NAC (N-acetylcysteine), and proteolytic
enzymes like Nattokinase, Serratiopeptidase, and Lumbrokinase, along with Monolaurin and Cistus Tea, can be highly
effective in clearing out these biofilms during the cleansing process. It's beneficial to rotate these agents monthly and to
take them on an empty stomach for optimal efficacy. For recommendations on trusted brands, you can refer to the
Fullscript account of Jean-Felix, a knowledgeable member of our team.

Stomach Acid Production & Deficiency

Stomach Acid: Low stomach acid can lead to poor digestion and pathogen overgrowth. Maintaining optimal stomach acid
levels is crucial for breaking down food and preventing harmful bacteria from thriving and entering in the gut. There is a
micronutrients deficiency aspect to the production of stomach acids.
Zinc: is essential for the production of stomach acid. Zinc deficiency can lead to reduced stomach acid secretion. Best
forms are Zinc Bisglycinate, Orotate, Picolinate, Carnosine and would avoid zinc oxide.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Plays a role in maintaining the mucosal lining of the stomach, which indirectly supports
stomach acid production.
Vitamin B6: Important for various enzymatic reactions, including those involved in the production of stomach acid.
Managing stress: is also crucial at promoting proper Hydrochloric Acid levels. Avoid drinking with meals especially cold
beverages as it dilutes digestive juices. If you do desire a mealtime beverage, consider herbal teas like ginger or dandelion,
which are traditionally used to support digestion.

16
 FOUNDATION 101 CONTINUED

Bile Synthesis & Flow

GUT
Bile Production: Bile plays a key role in digestion and waste elimination. Insufficient bile flow can lead to poor
digestion of fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, & K), contributing to dysbiosis and pathogen overgrowth. Choline,
a vital nutrient for bile production, is abundant in pastured egg yolks, cruciferous vegetables, sunflower seeds, and
organic tempeh. It forms phosphatidylcholine, which gives bile its slipperiness, essential for transporting toxins from
the liver and gallbladder into the bile, then into the small intestine, and finally out via the colon in the stool.
Enhancing Bile Flow: Incorporating bitters like dandelion and burdock root, which are present in our Metal Flush
tincture, can improve bile flow and support liver health. Since bile is recycled multiple times, using binders like
Cinnabin during your cleanse is crucial to prevent toxins from re-entering the bloodstream.
Additional Supportive Agents: For a more comprehensive approach, other binders and agents such as Tudca, and
Cellcore’s products like Advanced Tudca, Biotoxin Binder, Carboxy Binder, and HM-ET binders can be used alongside
your ParaFy Cleanse for enhanced detoxification. These can be accessed using our team member Jean-Felix’s
Practitioner code.

Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Postbiotics

Probiotics: Beneficial bacteria like Spore Based, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Saccharomyces boulardii can be
helpful tools. Note: People reacting to probiotics is often a histamine issue. Lactobacillus species like bulgaricus, casei,
fermentum, reuteri & streptococcus thermophilus can increase someone’s histamine levels. Fermented foods like
sauerkraut, kimchi & kefir include natural probiotic sources for a diverse gut flora, but if you are sensitive or
genetically prone to histamine excess you may consider repopulating the gut with bifidobacteria species first and use
non histamine producing probiotics that will support the breakdown of histamines.
Prebiotics: These fibers nourish good bacteria. Dosage and tolerance can differ among individuals.
Postbiotics: Postbiotics are compounds from probiotics that support gut health and immunity like butyrate. Gut+
from BodyBio provides a non-starch & fiber-based prebiotics called PreforPro clinically proven to reduce unwanted
bacteria in the gut while also feeding natural beneficial bacteria with butyrate. For recommendations on trusted
brands, you can refer to the Fullscript.

Oral Health
Impact on Gut Health: Poor oral hygiene can significantly impact gut health, potentially leading to both gut and
systemic health issues. A common oversight is neglecting proper oral care upon waking, especially brushing and tongue
scraping. Neglecting this allows harmful bacteria to persist in the mouth, which can then be ingested with food or
drink, potentially compromising your health. Incorporating practices like using ozone water as a mouth rinse, oil
pulling, and choosing non-toxic toothpaste options such as Silverbiotics, Boka Cinnamint, Redmond Salt, and
Biocidin can be beneficial. Biocidin and dental cidin, in particular, are also effective in preventing biofilm formation in
the mouth, further supporting oral and gut health.

A comprehensive focus on diet, gut flora, stomach acid, bile production, gut lining integrity, and oral hygiene is crucial
for effective parasite cleansing and overall health. This approach ensures a balanced and functional digestive system,
essential for long-term health and proper drainage.

VITAMINS & MINERALS
Deficiency Concerns
Genetic factors can impair the conversion of Vitamin A and D, leading to deficiencies that affect immune
function, skin health, vision, mineral balance, and gut integrity. This concern is heightened in individuals
without a gallbladder, as they face challenges in digesting and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. For those
with genetic variants in the MTHFD1 and PEMT genes, adequate choline intake is crucial.
Additionally, individuals without a gallbladder should consider lipase digestive enzymes and supplements
like PC (Phosphatidylcholine) from Body Bio, Tudca, and ADEK-Pro from Apex Energetics to support
vitamin absorption and intake.
Always consult your doctor for personalized advice. For more micronutrient recommendations, visit the
'RogersHood Drainage (Micronutrients/Vitamins Support)' section in Jean-Felix's Fullscript account. This
is non-medical advice.

The Broad Spectrum of Essential Nutrients

A comprehensive spectrum of vitamins and minerals is crucial for the myriad of functions our bodies
perform daily. These essential nutrients are the bedrock of energy metabolism, bone health, immune
function, detoxification processes, and the metabolism of glucose and fats.
For instance, the production of stomach acid, pivotal for protein digestion, bile activation, and nutrient
absorption, depends on vitamins B1, B6, and Zinc. Similarly, the metabolism of glucose hinges on
magnesium's role in insulin secretion from the pancreas.
In this context, investing in a high-quality multivitamin that includes the active forms of vitamins and
minerals becomes crucial. Brands like Seeking Health, Thorne Research, and Designs for Health offer
products that serve as a nutritional insurance policy, providing the foundational support our bodies
require. While these supplements need to be tailored to individual needs, they represent the fundamental
building blocks necessary for maintaining and supporting our bodies' daily functions.

The Importance of Amino Acids

Adequate levels of amino acids are crucial for several key bodily functions, including protein synthesis,
liver detoxification, muscle maintenance, and the repair of the digestive system. These amino acids play a
pivotal role in everything from enzyme production to muscle repair. However, factors such as poor dietary
habits, low protein intake, and digestive issues like leaky gut or chronic digestive conditions can lead to
amino acid deficiencies. Most people especially elderly individuals can benefit from Supplementing
Essential Amino Acids and prevent sarcopenia (muscle waisting) especially as digestion capacity reduces
with time.

Quality Meats and Animal Products: The Importance of Ethical Farming Practices
How animals are raised significantly impacts the quality of the meat and animal products we consume.
While we recommend reducing animal product intake during cleansing periods, it's important to choose
high-quality animal products when they are part of your diet.
Opt for locally raised eggs and meats from farmers who practice soil regeneration, contributing positively
to the environment rather than depleting it. Supporting such farmers not only benefits your health but also
promotes sustainable farming practices.

Enzymes: Essential for Digestion and Beyond

Modern Diet Challenges: Enzyme deficiencies are common due to high-temperature cooking methods and
processed foods, impacting digestive and systemic health.
Therapeutic Potential: Enzyme supplementation can significantly aid digestion and offer systemic health
benefits beyond the breakdown of foods. It can clean up debris that isn’t being processed properly or
excreted out of the body. Enzymes are an incredible tool in the breakdown of biofilms and release of
mucoid plaque. A full spectrum enzyme blend, such as Bioptimizers MassZymes, is a great and potent tool
to improve digestive health and increase absorption of nutrients. Save 10% with code: REGENBIOME

Genetic Predispositions and Nutrient Absorption

Increased Risk: Genetic factors can increase the risk of deficiencies in crucial nutrients like Vitamin A
(retinol), D, E, K, B1, B2, B6, B9, B12, CoQ10, Iron, Choline, Magnesium and others.
The Crucial Role of Minerals: Minerals are fundamental for numerous bodily functions and overall health.
They play a vital role in electrolyte balance which is essential for maintaining hydration, nerve
transmission, and muscle function. Minerals, like calcium and phosphorus, are crucial for strong bones and
teeth. Many enzymes require minerals as cofactors to catalyze biochemical reactions. Minerals such as
potassium and magnesium are key for heart health and blood pressure regulation.
Hydration and Mineral Supplementation: Proper hydration is intertwined with mineral balance. For
specific recommendations on hydration and mineral supplements, refer to the 'Hydration' section in the
Fullscript under 'RogersHood Drainage (Micronutrients/Vitamins Support)' by our team member Jean-
Felix.

Conclusion
Understanding the interplay between genetics and nutrient absorption is crucial for addressing deficiencies
that may lead to gastrointestinal issues and broader health concerns. A comprehensive approach to nutrition,
considering both dietary intake and supplementation, can help mitigate these risks. Personalized nutrition
strategies, especially for those with genetic predispositions to nutrient deficiencies, are essential for

 UNDERSTANDING YOUR DRAINAGE
PATHWAYS AND THEIR CRITICAL ROLES
Unlocking Effective Detox: The Critical Role of
Drainage Pathways
Detoxification is a buzzword in the world of health and
wellness, but the key to successful detox lies in
understanding the significance of drainage pathways.
These pathways play a crucial role in preparing your
body for effective detox, ensuring that toxins are

Liver and Bile Ducts: Positioned just above the colon
in the drainage funnel are the liver and bile ducts.
These act as reservoirs that process toxins from the
blood, depositing them into bile. Blockages in these
ducts can lead to toxin buildup and potential harm
to the liver. It's crucial to support bile duct function
to prevent such issues.

 DETOXIFICATION HIGHWAY: NAVIGATING THE
TOXIN PATH THROUGH THE BODY'S ORGANS
The Simplified Detoxification Journey in the Body
1. Entry of Toxins: Toxins enter the body through eating, breathing, or skin contact.
2. Digestive System: In the stomach and intestines, some toxins are broken down. Those that survive go to the liver.
3. Liver Processing: The liver transforms toxins into less harmful substances and makes them water-soluble for easier
excretion. After the liver processes toxins, it secretes bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. Bile is essential for digesting
fats and also serves as a vehicle to transport certain toxins (especially fat-soluble toxins) from the liver to the intestines. The
gallbladder's main function in the detoxification process is to store and concentrate bile produced by the liver, which is
then used to help excrete fat-soluble toxins through the digestive tract.
4. Excretion:
Kidneys: Water-soluble toxins are filtered and passed out in urine.
Colon: Some toxins go into the intestines and leave the body in feces.
Lungs: Gaseous toxins are exhaled.
Skin: Sweat can also remove certain toxins.
5. Lymphatic Support: The lymphatic system helps transport waste from cells and tissues for elimination.

Key Point: Toxins travel through the body via different routes and are processed mainly by the liver, excreted through the
kidneys, colon, lungs, and skin. While maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports this natural detox process, it's essential to
understand that this is a simplified overview. The actual detoxification process is more complex, involving various biochemical
pathways, and its efficiency is influenced by factors such as overall health, nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle choices.

Brain's Nighttime Clean-Up:
Optimizing the Glymphatic System

Finally, let's delve into the glymphatic system, your

brain's unique waste removal process. Active mainly
during sleep, this system is like a nightly cleaning
crew for your brain. We'll explore the critical role of
deep sleep in brain detoxification, how a disrupted
glymphatic system affects health, and lifestyle tips to
enhance glymphatic function, ensuring your brain
stays clear of toxins.

 GLYMPHATIC PATHWAY

What is the Glymphatic System? Importance for Health

Prevention of Neurological Diseases: Efficient
The term "glymphatic system" is a portmanteau of functioning of the glymphatic system is believed
"glial" and "lymphatic." It describes a waste clearance to be protective against neurodegenerative

of sleep for brain health and the clearance of

Components of the Glymphatic System
1. Glial Cells: Specifically, astrocytes play a key role.
They regulate the flow of cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF) to facilitate the
clearance of waste from the brain.
2. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF): This fluid bathes the
brain and spinal cord, providing nutrients and
removing waste products. The glymphatic system
facilitates the movement of CSF through brain
tissues.
3. Blood Vessels: While not a direct part of the
glymphatic system, blood vessels in the brain are
closely associated with the system’s function, as
the movement of fluids between CSF and ISF
occurs around these vessels.

 FULVIC SOAK
Fulvic Soak: Enhancing Your Cleansing Routine

The Fulvic Soak is a vital component of any comprehensive

cleansing routine, especially when undertaking the ParaFy
cleanse or similar detox programs. This unique blend
harnesses the power of fulvic humic minerals, renowned for
their remarkable health benefits. These minerals are adept at
drawing out parasites and heavy metal toxins from the body,
thereby easing discomfort associated with toxin release,
commonly known as die-off symptoms.

Benefits of Fulvic Soak:

Deep Detoxification: Leveraging the body's 120,000 pores

and sweat glands, especially in the feet, the Fulvic Soak
facilitates the extraction of toxins, including heavy metals
like lead, mercury, and aluminum. These metals can
accumulate over time, leading to various health concerns.

Support During Cleansing: When used as part of a

parasite detox regimen, the soak helps alleviate the
discomfort associated with the die-off phase. As parasites
die, they release toxins; the fulvic acid in the soak aids in
their removal.

Overall Wellness: Regular use promotes clearer skin,

improved sleep quality, and enhanced mental clarity,
contributing to overall well-being.

Versatile Application: It can be used both as a foot soak

or in a full-body bath, providing flexibility based on
personal preference and convenience.

57
 FULVIC SOAK TIPS
Usage Guidelines
Water Temperature: Use hot water for your
soak to enhance the therapeutic effects of
fulvic minerals and properly desolve the
fulvics.
Duration for Kids: For children aged 3-10,
limit soak time to 15-30 minutes. Stick with
foot soak for kids.
Frequency: Adults can soak for 30 minutes, 2-
3 times a week.
Full Body Soaking: It's safe to immerse your
body up to the neck. Avoid submerging your
face to prevent messiness.
External Use Only: This product is intended
for external use only and should not be
ingested.
Charcoal-Free Composition: The soak does
not contain charcoal, ensuring a gentler
experience.
Die-Off Symptoms: Some may experience
die-off symptoms as the body releases toxins.
Targeted Use: While Fulvic Soak aids in
external detoxification, it does not address
internal or gut parasites like the ParaFy
cleanse does.
Quality Assurance: Our Fulvic Soak is third-
party lab-tested, ensuring it's organic and
ethically sourced.
