My Top Health Tips

If you’ve been following me since the beginning, I’ve basically been saying these main things:

- Drink green juices and smoothies.

- Make fruits and vegetables 80-90 percent of your daily food intake.

- Remove or greatly reduce inflammatory foods (wheat, dairy, sugar, processed/packaged food, junk food, sodas, artificial juices, processed oil).

- Add in good fats like avocados, coconut oil and olive oil.

- Drink plenty of water–33ml of water per kg of body weight to be exact.

- Minimal animal protein consumption, but make your own decision about whether or not animal protein works for you.

- Minimal grain consumption, again, make your own decision about whether or not beans/legumes work for you.

- One person’s food may be another’s poison.

- Food is not “good” or “bad” but simply an experiment. Some experiments work, some, not so much.

- There are no quick fixes. Your food journey is a process. You are always going to be tweaking it, so relax.

- Drink warm water with lemon every morning.

By eating in this way, you support your body so it may function at its full potential. I see many clients who suffer from allergies, stress, fatigue, headaches, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, weak immune systems, and skin problems. These are your body’s cries for help. And by applying these principles, yes, you will need to put a little extra time and attention into breaking from your routine, but your reward will be feeling like you have a new lease on life!
