Super Health

In this episode we discuss what you can expect when beginning your detox and how you can avoid the issues you may run into when doing so. On day 1 you might feel really motivated, but also run into some routine things like snacks you’re used to eating and know you shouldn’t. On Day 2 you’ll find it may be the hardest day as you might start feeling the side effects of changing your diet, which can include feeling congested, tired, or head ache. Make sure you’re hydrated and moving your body/exercising in order to combat these symptoms. On day 3 many will start feeling amazing while others might feel about the same as 2, but on day 4 you’ll start feeling really good and light/healthy. Day 5 will be building on day 4’s amazing feelings and you’ll want to keep going. You’ll experience many positive feelings and changes in your body, which even includes being able to sleep better at night.

Today it’s just Michael and Kristel and we want to talk to you about plant based eating with tips and tricks and what to expect if you go plant based. We discuss things such as the volume of what you eat will need to increase when you switch because being plant based requires that you eat more to get sufficient nutrients, and then the types of food we eat ourselves and the social, mental, and physical effects we experience when making this change.

“It’s not about depriving this body. Adding more plants in your diet, and then swap out alternatives, right? Even if your family wants to have a burger, use a plant based burger. There are so many options right now, and then most don’t even recognize the difference anymore.” 10:14
