Lesson 1: Saturate & Cleanse

Toxins from foods in whole foods come from chemicals, pesicides and herbicides used in the growing process. They can also be affected by genetical modification. The safest way to eat toxin free with real, whole foods is to buy Organic, or foods in packages with the green and white USDA Organic label. The second best is to buy Non-GMO Project Verified foods. Look at what forms of food you can swap to Organic vs. conventional.

Toxins from packaged/processed foods also can be influenced by chemicals, pesticides, herbicides as above but also through food dyes, preservatives, and additives.

Notice any kinds of processed or packaged foods that may even be ‘organic’ that aren’t the healthiest based on other ingredients. What can you toss out, or stop buying now?

Beyond food are your household cleaning products, air fresheners, makeup, skincare, etc. I won’t take you into all of that in this course as it’s about food but please know it DOES matter.

My go to companies for non-toxic products:

• Norwex cleaning supplies

• Beautycounter makeup and skincare, literally going to the Supreme Court to get beauty laws upgraded so people are safe. Also love their baby and kids lines

• Tata Harper (pricey but so good)

• DIME beauty for non-toxic perfume and skin care

• Eminence Organics for skin care that is made out of food and smells so good

• Vegamour for hair growth serums/shampoos/conditioners

• Young Living Essential Oils for personal care/diffusing in the home or car

• Young Living (or Doterra) also has great cleaning products

Lesson: What We Eat!

If you want to short cut this one, just download the list in pdf form I made for you below!

homework Part 1: FUELED

Start to pull these foods out of your diet. Your BIG homework is to edit your current diet and see where there may have been ‘leaks’ in your current food program that are slowing down the healthy body you want. The goal for week 1 is to make sure none of these ingredients are seeping into your body and giving ‘disease’ or a lack of health a chance to have power or energy.

Remember, you are in control of what you choose to eat. As you learn how this all fits together, allow yourself to become more and more confident and certain not only in WHAT you are doing but WHY you are doing it. It’s for you, and the body you want to live in.

Read your labels “sugar” comes in many many forms. “Corn” comes in many forms. We will dive deep into labels in the label reading section but for now, what whole foods of these have you been consuming? When you omit them you receive energy for healing and better health instantly in your body because it has less ‘work’ to do.

Begin to build your meals as simply as possible for now out of the whole foods on this list. Know that you are going to be making massive leaps in your health by omitting trigger foods that fed into pathogen load while at the same time pouring real foods that feed into health into your cells on repeat. Focus on fruits and veggies first and then choose your other foods from the other groups to supplement and create your meals, we will dive more and more into building meals that work quickly in the body as we move through this program together. I want you to feel like you have mastered this first aspect first before we add in more things!

By the end of this week your habit to lock in is to remove the no list foods from your diet.

Please post any questions you have in the Facebook group! I also created a short cut list/pdf for you of all the foods TO EAT now that I mentioned in this video.

HOMEWORK PART 2: FOCUSED

The second part of your homework for week 1 is to notice how you currently feel in your body. I want you to write out everything you can think of about how you currently feel in your body day to day. Get it out on paper (just do this once) then move onto the second part.

Questions to write out/journal on:

How well are you feeling day to day? How does your stomach feel right now? Take note because things change very quickly when you start to streamline ingredients. The goal of being healthy is to learn and know and trust that you always get to feel not just meh, but amazing and good and full of energy. Notice if you wake up tired, sluggish or feel tired after you eat, notice how much energy you can sustain through the day, notice your stomach, or any bloating. Notice if you feel heavy or light or lethargic or lighter on your feet. Notice your mood and attitude around food and these changes you are implementing.

Now, once that’s out of the way, I want you to start recalling and thinking/speaking to yourself in your mind about how you know what’s happening with the new foods you are choosing. When you’re at the grocery store or shopping online and ordering fruits and vegetables think things to yourself like:

• I know exactly why I’m doing this and eating these foods.

• I love that I know all fruits are healing and cleansing and I get to eat them in abundance.

• I love that I know exactly what’s been happening in my body and I’m so excited to eat in a way that helps it heal and thrive.

• I’m so excited to give my body what it needs.

• I love eating apples, watermelon, smoothies, salads, etc.

• I love that if I am craving sugar, I know what to do, I’ll eat my favorite fruit and that is what my body really needs and wants from me.

• I love that these foods are making my stomach feel amazing, my hormones balanced and my weight fall off of me!

When your confidence and certainty build in what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, you will be unstoppable. I want you to be fully in charge of your health, week 1 is about breaking in new habits, with new foods and a new mindset about how you see food and know that it is supporting you.

Good luck!
