The Quench Plan recommends front-loading hydration by drinking 16 ounces of water with a pinch of sea salt and lemon immediately upon waking. This method provides essential minerals and electrolytes that facilitate better water absorption into the cells. Additionally, consuming one green smoothie daily—blended greens and water—is presented as a primary strategy for obtaining structured water from plant sources.

The Gerson Institute in Mexico utilizes intensive green smoothie protocols to treat severe illnesses like cancer, relying on the high structured water content of plants. Dr. Dana Cohen references the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead as an example of how radical dietary shifts toward blended vegetables can reverse chronic illness. She emphasizes that providing the body with structured water allows it to function as a self-healing machine.

A daily smoothie containing high-quality whey, mushroom powder, and mineral-rich vegetable powders can fulfill 50% of the body's raw food requirements. Dr. Apsley emphasizes tailoring the rest of the diet to one's metabolic or blood type, such as Type O individuals requiring some meat or organ extracts. He highlights mushrooms as a universal regenerative food suitable for almost any metabolism.
