The Nourishing Phase
A good holistic wellness and recovery program starts by providing the body the necessary wholesome building blocks to repair damage and regain balance & vitality.
This phase focuses on providing your body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally. It typically involves a balanced and varied diet that is rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. The goal is to support your body's basic functions and maintain overall health.
Start Here:
- Focus on an Organic Whole Food Plant Based diet and add only good quality grass fed organic meats and wild salmon as needed.
- Avoid all processed foods. You want food that is alive.
- Avoid refined sugars at all costs. We're going to train your body to get your energy from good quality fats not from glucose.
- Reduce the total amount of carbohydrates you consume to a maximum of 20 grams a day.
- Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables.
- Eat plenty of high quality fats, rich in Omega 3 fatty acids: Grass fed butter or ghee, avocados, salmon, sardines, etc (if you eat fish).
- Eat plenty of polyphenols rich foods: Broccoli, blueberries, raspberries, etc.
- Practice Intermittent fasting: Learn more here.
- Focus on reducing Stress. Stress throws our system off and makes us crave sugars for fast energy. Make some time during the day to deeply nourish not only your body, but mind and spirit. Allocate some time every day for meditation, yoga and gift yourself with the nourishing touch of healing and bodywork on a regular basis. Here are a few articles on the subject.
- Get plenty of sleep. Learn how to achieve deep sleep and feel fully rejuvenated.
