Medical Medium Essentials: Start Here
If you’re new to this whole Medical Medium, celery juice craze, and don’t know where to start—start here:
If you haven’t at the very least heard about celery juice, allow me to gently help you out from under that rock. You ok?
Medical Medium’s global celery juice movement has taken the health and wellness world by storm. It’s the latest rage in the holistic healing community, and for very good reason.
But this whole thing is SO much more than just celery juice.
Just stroll on over to the @medicalmedium Instagram page and low-key stalk the thousands of testimonials from celebrities and normal people like me healing all sorts of mystery illnesses and chronic ailments.
Before, August 2017, just got off benzo, my skin at its worst. After, October 2018, 9 months MM living! #nofilter
But where’s the research? Where’s the data?
For me, it’s in my own skin. Literally. Medical Medium’s advice for strep (the root cause of acne) has helped to clear my skin in ways no doctor, prescription, or $250 top-of-the-line moisturizer ever could. Not to mention I feel my healthiest self.
My own health and happiness is the only proof I need.
I will spare you the long intro. You can read more about Medical Medium and my experience with his protocol here. But most of you already know my story.
This guide is for those that have been side-eying Anthony and the community for a while, want to have a taste of that kool-aide (or in this case, that celery juice), but don’t know where to begin.
I know how overwhelming it all is, which is why I’ve made this very practical blog post for you to begin. I kept it simple and realistic.
Before unnecessarily adding air purifiers and bamboo cooking utensils into your Amazon cart, spending thousands of dollars, take a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. You don’t NEED any of that stuff. Not to start with.
Start here:
Money
Who we kidding? We need money. So I’m just going to get straight to the point and tell you how much you will approximately need to start with the Medical Medium protocol.
Now, this is assuming you don’t already have any of the items I am recommending below. This guide is also including budget-range kitchen tools. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but quality stuff for a good price. It also includes the supplements I recommend you start with.
Ok, you ready:
$393
(This includes both blender AND juicer. Some of you may already have one or both, which significantly reduces the price.)
This is the very basics to at least start with. You don’t need to dish out nearly $400 today. You already know slow and steady wins the race. Do what you can, start where you’re at, and purchase what you can when you can.
Oh, and have FUN! Celery juice really does make you wanna dance!
Book $17.99
You don’t need to purchase all 4 books (soon to be 5). Purchase his first book, simply titled Medical Medium. You’ll get a better understanding of who the hell this man is, why he’s doing what he’s doing, and how he can help you. If you don’t think you need any help…read the book.
You don’t need to purchase the book to start though. I can’t stress this enough. I can’t count how many skeptics have shamed Anthony for profiting from his books. What’s wrong with making money doing something you love, sharing your gift, and helping others? I can confidently say, this man’s sole purpose is not profit.
I purchased absolutely nothing from Anthony when I first started. I, too, was skeptical as fck and refused to give this man any money until I knew for sure this worked. Well, here I am, a year later, basically working for him for free :p. Because I believe in this message THAT much. Because I know it can help so many others.
If you’re skeptical like I was, read the blog, listen to the podcast, harass me with questions until you get the answers you need. But I do highly recommend, when you feel ready, buy the book.
Kitchen Tools
The Ninja, great quality for a great price.
Blender $99.98
Now, before you click that X at the upper right hand corner of your screen while thinking to yourself “Janelle, you are CRAZY if you think I’m gonna spend $100 on a blender”, let us do a little math real quick.
If you are committed to this lifestyle, you will be using this blender every single day, at least once a day. That comes out to less than $0.30 per use in one year, less than $0.14 per use in two years…you get the point.
That $10 shirt you bought at Forever 21 and only wore once cost you more than this blender.
Trust me, there isn’t a better investment in that kitchen of yours than a good blender. You will get your money’s worth and your health back.
So, shall we continue?
For those of you that don’t know the difference between a juicer and a blender, this is a blender (see photo above). You will need a decent one to make smoothies galore and all kinds of other MM approved treats.
You can also make celery juice in a blender if you’re on tight budget and can’t afford both the juicer and the blender. Click here to see how to make celery juice with a blender.
Nut milk bag $13.97
If you choose to make celery juice in a blender, you will need a nut milk bag to strain the juice. For the love of God, do not drink a celery smoothie. Just don’t do it.
Mueller juicer $79.97 on Amazon
Juicer $79.97
This is a juicer. It makes juices ;). On the protocol you will be drinking celery juice everyday. Like I mentioned above, you can make celery juice with a blender and a nut milk bag, but honestly this is so much easier. You don’t need a $500 juicer. Start with this one.
I haven’t tried this Mueller brand, but my sister has it and loves it. And it’s cheaper than a lot of the other juicers out there.
Supplements
Anthony has nearly 200 supplements listed on his supplements page. If you’re new to this lifestyle, that number is daunting. Here’s my advice for supplements; slow and steady.
Supplements work. They work so well that if you introduce too many at the same time, your detox symptoms will be quite intense. So introduce one at a time, two a time. Allow your body to get adjusted then introduce a couple more.
These are the four I recommend starting with:
Vimergy, my favorite supp brand. The best quality out there.
Ester-C $48.00
The entire premise of the protocol is to strengthen the immune system. It’s a strong and healthy immune system that protects us from toxins and pathogens and the havoc-wreacking symptoms that come with them. So, first order of business, strengthen that immune system.
Ester-C is like Vitamin-C on crack. I’m sure it’s nothing like that, but that’s how my very non-scientific brain works. Let’s allow Vimergy to explain it much more eloquently:
“Ester-C® with Rosehips:
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is essential for human health
Supports a healthy immune system, cardiovascular system and nervous system
It's an essential cofactor in the biosynthesis of collagen and other connective tissues
Ester-C® is taken up by white blood cells more readily than regular Vitamin C
Ester-C® is non-acidic and therefore easier on the stomach than regular Vitamin C
Ester-C® remains active in the body for up to 24 hours
Uniquely and synergistically enhanced with Rose Hips and bioflavonoids, which also contain Vitamin C”
One of the only organic B12 supps out there
B12 $28.00
Nearly everyone is deficient in B12 today. If you feel like you have no energy (hello, everyone?!), start taking some B12 and then join me for a barefoot run ;). B12 is essential for a healthy nervous system, metabolic function, and red blood cell production and one of the most important supplements you can take.
Zinc $30
Zinc is one of the most important trace minerals. We all need it! It is a potent antioxidant and if you’re suffering from acne, this is the one supplement you absolutely need to take. It will work wonders on your skin.
Spirulina $30
I can’t live without this! I throw it in every smoothie and basically just come to life. Spirulina is packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, healthy fats, and up to 70% plant protein. It also helps to pull heavy metals from your system.
Barley Grass Juice Powder $50 and Dulse Flakes $8.99
I’m only mentioning these two because you will need them for the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie. Along with celery juice, you want to start drinking the heavy metal detox smoothie every day. Heavy metals are food for pathogens. The seven ingredients in the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie work in synergy to pull heavy metals from your system and therefore starve pathogens. Click here for more info and the recipe.
Also, you can purchase Dulse Flakes at most Whole Foods, but you can also purchase online. The vendor I am recommending is perfectly safe.
Purchase Barley Grass Juice Powder and Dulse Flakes.
Groceries $ihavenoidea
I didn’t include this in my grand total because it’s not something “new” you need to purchase. I also have no idea if you’re shopping for one, two, or a family of thirteen. Also, are you shopping at a Walmart in Boise or a Whole Foods in LA? No idea.
For groceries, expect to buy:
A lot of fresh produce, specifically fresh fruits
Celery for your daily celery juice
Dulse flakes, if you didn’t purchase online
Gluten-free snacks
Herbal teas
I hope this starter guide helps you and/or your loved ones. Please feel free to share this and lets get this celery juice train so jam-packed we gotta find a bigger train!
Do you have any tips and tricks for those new on the protocol? Please share in the comments below. Would love to hear from you.
Thank you for reading my words :).

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. Neither is Medical Medium. If you’re crazy and desperate enough to take medical advice from a medium, then you can’t be crazy enough to sue us. You can’t be both kinds of crazy. These are merely my opinions based on my personal life experiences and what works for me. I do hope it helps, but don’t stop listening to your doctor (if you don’t want to).
