5-day Food Challenge
When our digestion is overwhelmed we feel uncomfortable, not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well. Inflammatory and overly processed foods -- sugars, trans fats, dairy, feedlot & processed meats, alcohol, refined grains, artificial food additives, and high-fructose corn syrups are the culprits.
Removing just one inflammatory food from your diet for five days will illuminate how your chronic digestive and inflammation issues, moods, thoughts and body discomfort are influenced by your diet. Take the 5-day Food Challenge:
How it works:
1) Identify at least one food that you would like to experiment with removing (see below.)
2) For 5-days eliminate that food from your diet. It works best if you find a nourishing food to replace it with.
3) During those five days note your experience. (Download PDF)
4) Finally, reintroduce the food and note any difference.
5) EMAIL your experience.
5) If inspired, remove the food from your diet completely.
