This delicious, moist pumpkin bread is a wonderful treat. Enjoy it with family or friends on a cozy weekend or make it for yourself and store the leftovers in a freezer-safe bag or container and defrost a slice when you wish to enjoy it.
Pumpkin is a rich source of B-vitamins such as folates, niacin, thiamin, and pantothenic acid and minerals like calcium and potassium. Pumpkin also contains immune-boosting properties which can help the body stay strong and ward off common colds and flus that may be going around.
Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients:
1 cup pumpkin puree or 3 cups peeled, deseeded, and diced pumpkin
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup light coconut milk
1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract.
1 3/4 cups gluten free oat flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1-2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (optional)
Directions:
If using fresh pumpkin, place the diced pumpkin in steamer or colander set over a pan of boiling water. Cover with a lid and steam for 10-15 minutes until tender. Remove and cool completely.
Place the pumpkin in a blender and blend until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of pumpkin puree and leave the rest for another recipe.
Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Grease an 8- or 9-inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut milk, and vanilla. Whisk until uniform.
In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown rice flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until uniform and lump-free.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir until evenly mixed. The batter should be very thick but pourable.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and top with pumpkin seeds (if using). Bake for 50-60 minutes, until browned on top and toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes in the baking tin, then gently remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Serves 4-6

This Pumpkin Spice “Latte” brings the flavors of fall and festivities into a creamy and warming drink. This recipe is dairy-free, doesn’t contain coffee or caffeine, and uses only 100% pure maple syrup as a sweetener. It also includes options for three different milks–oat, almond, or coconut milk–so you can choose what works best for you.
Winter squash such as pumpkin is high in carotenoids that protect liver cells from damage. The glucose in winter squash can stabilize the liver, allowing blood sugar to stabilize overall in the body.
The combination of sugars and high mineral content of maple syrup quickly travels to the liver and becomes instant fuel of phytonutrient composition. Maple syrup is like an IV for the liver containing the best of both worlds: a vast array of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients (many of them still undiscovered) coupled with high-quality sugar on which the liver thrives.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Ingredients:
1/4 cup pumpkin puree, homemade or canned
2 cups gluten-free oat, unsweetened almond, or light coconut milk
1/4 cup 100% pure maple syrup, to taste
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1-2 tbsp coconut whip, to serve (optional)
For the coconut whip topping (optional):
1 14-ounce can coconut cream or full fat coconut milk, chilled in the fridge overnight
2-3 tbsp raw honey
Directions:
Combine the pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a small pot and heat until warm on medium-high heat.
To make the optional coconut whip, chill your mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. When the bowl is chilled, remove the thick cream from the top of the can of coconut milk, leaving the coconut water/milk behind. Using an electric whisk, beat the cream for 2-3 minutes until you get soft peaks. Add the honey and beat for another 2 minutes.
Pour into a mug and top with coconut whipped cream (if using). You will have coconut whip leftover for another use. Sprinkle a bit of pumpkin pie spice on top and serve.
Serves 1-2

Made with pumpkin and gluten-free grains, these baked donuts are a delicious but far healthier alternative to their fried, wheat-filled counterparts. They’re fun to make for children or to share with loved ones who are trying to make cleaner food choices. You can enjoy them dipped in the creamy cinnamon cashew glaze for a decadent finish, or enjoy them unadorned for a simpler palate.
Winter squashes such as pumpkin are loaded with nutrients that our livers can easily store. They are high in carotenoids that protect liver cells from damage. The glucose in winter squash can stabilize the liver, allowing blood sugar to stabilize overall in the body.
Pumpkin Donuts
Ingredients:
Donuts:
1 cup pumpkin puree
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 1/2 cups gluten free oat flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
Cinnamon glaze:
3/4 cup cashews, soaked for 1 hour in hot water
2 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cardamom
1/4 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Lightly grease a 12-donut pan. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and coconut oil. In another bowl, add the oat flour, brown rice flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Whisk until uniform and lump-free.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir until evenly mixed. Spoon or pipe the batter into the greased donut pan. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until lightly browned on top and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the donut pan, then move to a wire rack and cool completely.
To make the glaze, add the drained cashews, maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, cardamom, and water to a blender and blend until very smooth, for 4-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. When the donuts are cool, dip them in the glaze. Best enjoyed on the day of baking and kept in an airtight container until needed.

These pancakes are delicious and just the right amount of sweet. They’re also a fantastic way to sneak in some healing foods. Butternut squash and zucchini are the star ingredients, each bringing its own unique healing properties. Enjoy these pancakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Double, triple, or quadruple the recipe if you are serving these pancakes to your family.
Butternut squash is a fruit that’s loaded with nutrients that our livers can easily store. It’s also high in carotenoids that protect liver cells from damage. The glucose in winter squash such as butternut can stabilize the liver, allowing blood sugar to stabilize overall in the body.
Zucchini is soothing to the intestinal tract walls, pushing out pathogens such as bacteria and fungus, allowing for better absorption of nutrients that can be sent up to the liver. Zucchini is a beneficial gallbladder food, containing phytochemicals that actually reduce gallbladder inflammation.
Butternut Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 cup diced peeled, deseeded, and diced butternut or 1/2 cup pureed butternut
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp maple syrup, more to serve
1/4 cup cassava flour, more if needed
2 1/2 tbsp arrowroot
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup grated zucchini (optional)
Directions:
Add a couple of inches of water to a steamer or medium-sized pot and place a steaming basket in it. Add the diced butternut, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Place the cooked butternut in a blender and blend until very smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup of the butternut puree and add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the water and maple syrup to the mixing bowl and whisk until uniform.
Combine the cassava flour, arrowroot, cinnamon, and baking powder in another bowl and stir until evenly mixed. Add to the wet ingredients and whisk until uniform. The batter should be thick but pourable. Stir in the grated zucchini.
Place a non-stick ceramic skillet on medium-low heat. Scoop the batter onto the skillet, using a tablespoon or two for each pancake. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until browned on the bottom and starting to firm up on the top. Gently flip the pancakes, then continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Serve pancakes immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup.

For a big mug of pure comfort packed full of healing spices in a delicious base of apple juice, look no further than this delicious Hot Spiced Apple Juice. You may find this recipe quickly becomes a weekly staple. When it goes down warm or hot, this beverage is very soothing and relaxing for the liver. If you’d prefer to enjoy this as a cold drink, there’s an option for that too!
This delicious recipe is one of over 75 recipes in the new book, Medical Medium Cleanse to Heal: Healing Plans for Sufferers of Anxiety, Depression, Acne, Eczema, Lyme, Gut Problems, Brain Fog, Weight Issues, Migraines, Bloating, Vertigo, Psoriasis, Cysts, Fatigue, PCOS, Fibroids, UTI, Endometriosis & Autoimmune.
Apples and ginger are two of the incredible healing foods in this recipe. Apples provide living water to support the liver’s hydration capabilities, so it can store the water and then release it back into the bloodstream when dehydration or dirty blood syndrome occurs. The fruit acids in apples help cleanse the liver by dispersing toxic films that build up inside its storage banks. Apples starve out bacteria, yeast, mold, other funguses, and viruses from the intestinal tract and liver. They’re also great for dissolving gallstones.
Ginger’s antispasmodic properties come from its more than 60 trace minerals, well over 30 amino acids (many of them undiscovered), and more than 500 enzymes and coenzymes all working together to calm reactivity. And as an antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic, ginger deserves all the accolades it gets for promoting a healthy immune system. Ginger is also ideal for stress assistance, DNA reconstruction, enhancement of your body’s production of B12, and so much more.
Spiced Apple Juice
Ingredients:
10 apples, cored and chopped (yields 3 cups of juice)
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
Directions:
Juice the apples using an electric juicer.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and orange peel to the juice.
If you are serving the juice cold, let it infuse for at least 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and serve.
If you are serving it hot, place the juice in a small saucepan and heat until simmering. Turn the heat off and infuse for 5 to 10 minutes. (If you can avoid heating it up in the microwave, that’s ideal.) Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and serve.

It’s hard to beat a delicious homemade hummus recipe! This version with roasted red peppers adds a richness and burst of flavor that will keep you coming back for more. One of the best things about hummus is how versatile it is. A few of the ways you can enjoy it include as a dip, spooned onto salad or veggies, or as a sauce for gluten-free pasta.
Bell peppers contain an impressive amount of vitamin C with up to as much as six times as oranges. Bell peppers are also packed with vitamin A and beta carotene which can help boost the immune system, improve vision, and help protect the eyes against cataracts. They are also an excellent source of potassium, fiber, thiamine, beta-carotene, folate, zeaxanthin, and lycopene and have been shown to help prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Red Pepper Hummus
Ingredients:
2 medium-sized red peppers or 3/4 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers (without citric acid, oil or vinegar)
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 15 oz can, drained and rinsed)
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
3 tbsp lemon juice, to taste
Sea salt, to taste (optional)
2-3 tbsp water, more if needed
Cilantro or parsley, to serve
Veggie sticks (celery, carrot, cucumber), to serve (optional)
Directions:
Place an oven-rack about 5 inches from the broiler. Turn the oven broiler on.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Core and slice peppers into large flat pieces. Align peppers on baking sheet, skin side up and broil on high for 10-15 minutes, until charred.
Remove the pepper from the oven, place in a bowl and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Wait for 10-15 minutes for the pepper skins to soften. Remove peppers from the bowl and gently peel off the skin. Roughly chop.
Add the chopped peppers to a food processor or blender together with chickpeas, garlic, ground cumin, paprika, lemon juice, sea salt (if using) and water. Blend until smooth.
Serve topped with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley and a sprinkle of paprika.

Banana milk is a delicious homemade alternative to other less healthy milks. Try it out over fruit cereal or with oatmeal, enjoy it as a drink on its own, or served alongside a cookie recipe like Banana Oat Breakfast Cookies or Raspberry Linzer Cookies.
The fructose in banana is the liver’s favorite source of food. It provides quick fuel to the liver and wakes up sleepy cells, increasing their ingenuity and work output. Banana soothes the linings of the intestinal tract and also soothes the nerves attached to the intestinal tract. Contrary to popular belief, bananas are one of the most antibacterial, anti-yeast, and antifungal foods. They are a great food to combine with other nutrient-rich foods or to take with supplements, because they improve the liver’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Banana Milk
Ingredients:
1 frozen banana
1 fresh spotty banana
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups water, to desired thickness
Directions:
Blend all ingredients until very smooth. Pour over cereal, chopped fruit, drink as a glass of milk, or any other way you choose.

The key to this vibrant healing pudding is to let your papaya properly ripen. When ripe, papaya is sweet and delicious and blends into a creamy decadent pudding you can savor.
This healing recipe is one of over 75 recipes in the new book, Medical Medium Cleanse to Heal: Healing Plans for Sufferers of Anxiety, Depression, Acne, Eczema, Lyme, Gut Problems, Brain Fog, Weight Issues, Migraines, Bloating, Vertigo, Psoriasis, Cysts, Fatigue, PCOS, Fibroids, UTI, Endometriosis & Autoimmune.
When someone’s intestinal tract is nervy from inflamed nerves caused by troublemakers all along the gut lining, papaya soothes those nerves, allowing inflammation to reduce. This improves the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream to head up
to the liver. The red-pigment phytochemicals in papayas allow liver cells to become more agile and versatile so the liver can function at its optimum.
Papaya Pudding
Ingredients:
1/2-1 large Maradol papaya, cubed
Directions:
Place the papaya in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
Tip:
• It’s important to only use papayas that aren’t genetically modified. Maradol papayas are a large variety that are not GMO.
• Make sure to use only ripe papaya—you want the flesh to be spoonable. You can usually judge ripeness from the outside, when the skin gets some orange or yellow and yields like a ripe avocado under pressure from your thumb.

If you’re looking for more ways to enjoy asparagus, try this nourishing Asparagus Soup. This recipe lets asparagus speak for itself, while offering accents of lemon and herbs to bring out its natural flavor. It’s a lovely, light choice all on its own, served alongside a flavorful salad, or alongside another dish of your choice after the 3:6:9 Cleanse.
This delicious recipe is one of over 75 recipes in the new book, Medical Medium Cleanse to Heal: Healing Plans for Sufferers of Anxiety, Depression, Acne, Eczema, Lyme, Gut Problems, Brain Fog, Weight Issues, Migraines, Bloating, Vertigo, Psoriasis, Cysts, Fatigue, PCOS, Fibroids, UTI, Endometriosis & Autoimmune.
Asparagus provides a wealth of flavonoids, many of them undiscovered or unstudied, that are highly anti-inflammatory; they act as natural aspirin and soothe a hot, overburdened, struggling liver. The liver’s ability to cleanse increases greatly from this calming effect. Asparagus brings order to a chaotic, sick liver. The liver’s immune system strengthens instantly from asparagus. It increases bile production yet doesn’t allow the liver to overwork itself in producing bile. Asparagus helps dislodge fat cells, expelling them from the liver, and helps rejuvenate the liver’s deep, inner core. Asparagus is one of the most important liver-healing foods. Consider putting it on the menu at least a few times a week.
Asparagus Soup
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped onions or leeks
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed and chopped
3 cups water or Liver Rescue Broth (recipe on page 394)
1 teaspoon dried thyme or basil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Asparagus ribbons, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Place a large ceramic nonstick pot on medium-high heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent, adding a spoonful of water if needed. Add the chopped asparagus and cook for a further 3 minutes, until the asparagus begins to soften.
Add the water or Liver Rescue Broth, dried thyme, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the asparagus is very tender.
Ladle the soup into a blender and blend until smooth, letting steam escape as needed (you might need to do this in batches). Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender for this.
Pour the soup back in the pot and bring to simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning. Divide between bowls. If desired, use a vegetable peeler to create asparagus ribbons as garnish. Serve immediately.
Tips:
• If you have this soup on Day 9 of the Simplified 3:6:9 Cleanse, skip the garnish of asparagus ribbons and just enjoy the blended soup.
• When choosing between water and Liver Rescue Broth for the ingredients, keep in mind that the broth will produce a richer flavor. Store-bought vegetable stock isn’t called for because it’s very difficult to find a variety that’s free from oil, salt, natural flavors, and/or other additives. For convenience, make a batch of Liver Rescue Broth in advance and freeze it (consider ice cube trays for easy thawing) so you have it on hand for recipes like these.
