THE REAL FOOD REBOOT
Detox
Week 1
You're finally here!
High five and hugs
Here's something to chew on... (no pun intended)
This week is going to be amazing! (but will likely be one of your toughest too)
It's important to clear your schedule as much as you can and give your body a break from all the chaos.
Before we get to this week's menu- let's talk about the current state of your body.
Most Americans are suffering from chronic inflammation and poor gut health, many without even knowing it.
These two factors (in in the natural medicine world) are believed to be the root cause of disease.
Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, depression & auto-immune disease are seeing an unprecedented rise in occurrence.
Natural doctors will tell you that these are all preventable AND reversible, even with genetic predisposition.
"All disease begins in the gut" Hippocrates
How do we begin to heal inflammation and poor gut health?
We start by eliminating and avoiding toxic triggers and begin fueling our body with real food.
We protect it from the bad guys and nurture it back to health.
This week you can:
Begin to look at the chemical ingredients listed in your shampoo, bath soap, lotion, makeup, perfume, hair product, toothpaste, deodorant, cleaning supplies, dish soap, laundry detergent, air fresheners, candles and anything else you may come into contact with or breathe in.
The toxins present in these products are synthetic chemicals and most are likely carcinogenic (cancer-causing).
Just being mindful is the first step. Understanding your toxic exposure is key. We will work on decrease & elimination soon.
Did you know that statistics now state that 1 in every 2 males and 1 in every 3 females will face cancer in their lifetime?
This is insanity. But unfortunately a reality.
I strongly believe that the chemicals present in the products listed above are partly to blame, as is the lack of perfect fuel (in the form of whole foods) for our body to aid in detoxification.
Let's change this statistic- starting today.
Here is an easy-to-understand, 24 minute video about gut health.
You should definitely make time to watch.

Now, on to the food!!!
