Items on the elimination list tend to be allergenic, inflammatory and/or spike blood sugar levels, all of which stress your system. The aim is to regulate blood sugar levels, reduce inflammatory responses, enhance adrenal health (sleep, energy levels and hormonal balance) and support whole body wellness. Week I of the course, we wean from these substances. Weeks II & III, we completely abstain. In Week IV, we slowly and intentionally reintroduce foods, 1 at a time, to notice allergic reactions and sensitivities.
Please remember that this course is about NOURISHMENT. It’s beneficial to focus on all that you can have, do and enjoy that nourishes you. #Gratitude.
This window is an opportunity to reset the life giving rhythms of your body, mind & spirit.

✨ It’s quite normal to experience a reduction of energy at the start of the Renewal. Following the provided schedule and weaning in the first week will make a tremendous difference. Many of the foods that you will eliminate have been an energy crutch. Without the false energy, you will come to know a truer level of energy and, in time, allow your nervous system to heal:)
YOU GOT THIS!
Plan DOWN TIME into your days and weekends. Be mindful about what you commit to during these 28 days (and always.) This is a time of Renewal & reflection.
