Remember, if ANY of the foundations of good health is imbalanced, you are going to feel imbalanced.

DIGESTIVE HEALTH AND DETOXIFICATION

EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES IN THE GUTAND EAT TO HEAL, THRIVE, AND TRIUMPH

Your gut is the gateway to your health, so to restore health, one must put out the fire in the gut. It may seem like a daunting task, but together, anything is possible! You got this!! We will need to remove, replace, repopulate, repair, and rebalance.

o Remove - grains, dairy, processed foods, sugar, food sensitivities, toxins, and infections Which ones are you ready to remove?

o Replace - nutrients, acid, and enzymes. Focus on your veggies, protein, and healthy fat.

o Repopulate -probiotics and prebiotics.

o Repair - bone broth, vitamin D, omega 3, and gut healing supplements.

o Rebalance - detoxification, stress management, sleep, social support, spirituality.

Food doesn’t have to be hard! Make sure what you put in your mouth is nutrient dense and will keep the gut and hormones happy. How? Just Go Down the List! (Hint…veggies, protein, and healthy fat). I have constructed a chart that you can fill out weekly (for all ages, no matter what your condition), and it can help keep you on track, focusing on what is really important. This will allow you to make sure you have all the key pieces in your life to keep your gut happy, while you heal and prevent chronic disease.

See The Weekly Holistic Rx to Success Chart at the end of the workbook.

External stresses (personal life challenges)?

Past stresses/trauma?

Present stresses?

Future stresses?

Internal stresses (emotional issues, unrealistic expectations, low self-esteem, fears, guilt and mood issues)?

Emotional stresses?

How are you currently managing your stress?

Are you really taking care of yourself?

Live the morning right for a successful snooze

o Increasing the bright light exposure for at least 30 minutes at 6am to 8:30 am provides natural light cues for your circadian rhythms and keeps you alert.

o Light boxes or visors and other gadgets can be used to stimulate sunlight.

o If you must nap, nap for 20-30 minutes before 4 pm.

Once your sleep improves, you’re one sleep away from healing!!! Yay!!!

O No O Yes, who are they?

Who are those that support your dream and help you be your best self?

Forgiveness Who and what has hurt you? Look deeper into your life....

In order to forgive: (check o� what you will be able to incorporate regularly)

o Be grateful for every person they may have hurt you, as they have made you who you are and taught you and is just a perfectly crafted chapter in your unique journey.

Spiritual Groupso Group setting, like a prayer circle or group meditation, can hold you accountable and

provide you with the support to help you grow spiritually.

o Other spiritual practices that help to lower inflammation are therapeutic touch, healing touch and Qi yong, reading inspirational books or stories, artistic self-expression, and finding your purpose can help you heal chronic disease.

You are amazing! Look at what you have accomplished being less than 100%! Now imagine a life with no fire that burns within, a life full of peace, a life full of energy, a life full of unlimited possibilities—what can you accomplish then, what will you do? OOO it’s already giving me goose bumps because the sky’s the limit, I can’t wait to watch you fly! With no other distractions and nothing to drag you down, anything you put your mind to could be yours. Your once-distant dreams can now be your reality! You are amazing inside and out!!! Now let’s do this!!!! So much fun!!!!!
