If I didn’t experience it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it…

By eating a high carbohydrate diet in a strategic and cyclic way, my stalled metabolism has been turned back on – even through menopause. Even with Hashimoto’s (underactive thyroid autoimmune disease) and even with adrenal exhaustion.

….Even through the holidays and not being “perfect”.

I’m one of those “hormonally challenged” types that does everything to the ‘T”, but nothing major happens fat-loss wise. Aside from extreme caloric restriction (which screwed up my metabolism even more), I hang onto body fat for dear life.  It’s a survival mechanism after all – and boy, my survival mechanism is on fleek.

The eating approach I’ve taken over the past 5 years has been low carb – mostly paleo.  I’ve spent almost a year on keto too (very low carb, high fat, moderate protein – using paleo principles with lots of non-starchy veggies). I actually enjoy eating low carb because it makes me feel more balanced and less hangry.

Another important point: I’ve come to appreciate my body as it is – even with a little extra padding.

I’m a size 6-8 – my clothes that I wore a few years ago when I was 15 lbs lighter (and kinda starving myself) still fit fine. I Crossfit and hike and do yoga, practice self care, so I’m really not hating on myself or anything. In fact it’s critical to start any body change journey with self acceptance in order to be successful long term.

This I know for sure.

I was just experimenting with different eating techniques a few colleagues and clients have shared that demonstrated pretty amazing success but went against the nutrition beliefs and “fat is your friend – carbs are your enemy”  trends that are very on point in the functional medicine/nutrition world today. Being a Questioner with Rebel tendency (referring to the book Better than Before), I was all over it.

And what I learned is that it’s important to keep your metabolism guessing.  It’s a concept known as hormesis – or the hormetic effect.  Basically, the body adapts so efficiently when you do the same things all the time, so by switching things up – strategically (this isn’t a free for all) you can stimulate various responses to make your body more dynamic.

So I want to help you shake things up too and experience more food variety for yourself while I guide you through the process.

I’ve adapted several proven principles into this 5 factor approach (described in more detail below) that keeps hormonal systems guessing, provides the microbiome (our gut bugs) with different substrates, boosts detoxification and provides more alkalinity.

Join us.

Stick with it for 4 weeks and experience what can happen for you too.

Afterward, we’ll transition into uncovering your unique ‘food flow’ to keep your results sustainable and your eating enjoyable and balanced for life.

Because I’m not doing any heavy marketing, the group will be fairly small, so this is a great opportunity to get 1:1 customized support on your metabolic journey.

I can’t wait to share this with you and help you make a real difference in your health and metabolism this coming year and for years to come!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN! 30 Day Group Metabolic Reset Program

Do you find it nearly impossible to lose weight (body fat), despite doing everything right?

Are you dragging through your days and evenings – just getting by and feeling like an old lady?

Join us for a 30 day reset in January and February where we tackle weight loss resistance and restoring vitality using this 5 factor approach that helps drop weight, improve energy levels all while allowing you to eat more carbs (yes – more carbs, but eaten strategically – it’s not a free for all)!!!

Here’s what we’ll tackle:

1. Weekly Macronutrient rotation to nourish and wake up hormonal systems – keeping the body guessing while reigniting the metabolism
2. Elimination of foods that could be causing inflammation and replacing them with nutrient dense real foods (or optional functional foods)
3. Detox and Digestive repair to be sure all the channels of absorption and elimination are clear
4. Balanced pH – by keeping acid/alkaline balance, the body doesn’t have to work as hard and can free up fat stores
5. Mindset and mindfulness – My favorite part…We’ll connect continually to be sure you’re supported, make key mind-body- behavior connections and you’ll be able to bounce off your experiences and questions to me and the group throughout the process.

The format will be comprehensive and simple using email and a closed Facebook group where I’ll be posting weekly videos (scheduled FB LIVE sessions), meal suggestions, food lists, recipes and motivational support.  We all as a group can interact, post questions and lift each other up throughout the 30 days and beyond either via the group page or private message (if you’re shy :)).

To make it super affordable, I’m offering 2 options:

1.  With PaleoCleanse Kit (takes care of factor #2 and #3 way more easily for 2-3 weeks depending on the kit you choose). Cost of the kit plus $67
2.  Without the kit..Totally doable! just takes a little more planning, shopping and meal prep…$67

GET started here under packages! Order PaleoCleanse kits here.

We’re going to use the first week of January just to get situated and crystal clear on everything and then kick off the 30 days starting January 9 through the beginning of February.  More to come! Reach out with any questions in the meantime!
