SIMPLE DETOX SALAD-1

Get Nourished.

Eating nutrient-dense, whole foods can help you improve exercise performance, prevent chronic disease, and live a longer, healthier, and happier life. 

How is it that food has such a profound effect on health and happiness? Nourishing whole foods contain nutrients that build neurotransmitters, promote detoxification, and feed beneficial microbes. Nourishing foods have thousands of chemicals that stimulate healthy gene expression. We rely on foods to build, repair, and replenish every single cell of our bodies. If we want to change who we are, we need to change what we eat. Today is the perfect day to upgrade your diet.

Anti-Inflammatory Diet

The Anti-Inflammatory diet is an easy-to-follow elimination diet that has three primary components: eliminating highly processed foods, controlling blood sugar, and removing the most common food irritants. This diet removes the foods that the majority of people react to when inflammation is chronically present in the body. These foods include gluten, dairy, corn, soy, pork, alcohol, sugar, and processed foods. An anti-inflammatory diet is best done for a minimum of six to twelve weeks to see results.

CAST IRON PEACH-ALMOND COBBLER GRAIN-FREE-1

Grain-Free Diet

Although whole grains can provide immense health benefits for many individuals, for others, grains can exacerbate autoimmune conditions and gut permeability. A grain-free diet eliminates all whole grains and grain flours. Nut flours and other grain-free flours are used in baking to replace grain flours, which are often combined with natural sweeteners instead of refined sugars. A grain-free diet is relatively easy to follow as long as you are accustomed to cooking with whole foods.

Blood Sugar, Cortisol, and the Brain: Healing the Sugar Addiction Cycle

Your body has exquisite detoxification systems—your liver, kidneys, lymph, gut, and even skin are constantly working to eliminate what you no longer need. But those systems can’t function optimally when they’re overwhelmed by sugar, alcohol, pesticides, plastics, and synthetic chemicals. Remove what burdens the body and replenish what nourishes. This is the guiding principle in functional medicine and behind the "remove and replace" phase in our 12 Gifts of Health journey this year. Month 5 is about removing dietary and environmental toxins—a sacred pause in which we clear space for healing by gently and intentionally removing the substances that burden our bodies. And at the top of that list? Refined sugar.

11 Restorative Foods That Support Deep Transformation

When you've taken the courageous step of removing inflammatory foods and potential sensitivities from your diet, your body enters a remarkable phase. One of renewal and receptivity. This is the replace phase. The time to fill your plate with foods that rebuild, repair, and restore. Replacing isn’t just about substitutions, it’s about intentional nourishment. This is where food becomes medicine—where digestion begins to strengthen, the microbiome starts to diversify, and the nervous system begins to regulate. It’s not simply about finding a gluten-free bread or a dairy-free milk. It’s about delivering the nutrients your cells need, soothing inflammation at its root, and laying the groundwork for deep healing. When you feed your body this kind of nourishment, food becomes more than sustenance—it becomes sacred medicine.

How to Use the Low-FODMAP Diet to Relieve IBS and Calm Gut Inflammation

Some of us don’t just feel digestive distress—we feel like our bodies have become unpredictable strangers. When every bite becomes a question mark, how do we find our way back to trust, ease, and belonging in our own skin? For those living with persistent digestive issues, eating is rarely simple. Even healthy foods like garlic, onions, apples, and lentils can set off a cascade of symptoms. The gut becomes a battleground. The joy of food disappears. And we’re left asking: Will I ever feel normal again? In the remove and replace phase of healing, we eliminate problematic foods and replace them with nourishing alternatives—foods that calm inflammation, soothe the digestive tract, and help regulate immune function. This is the part of the journey where rebuilding begins.

How to Leave the Known and Rewire Your Brain for Lasting Change

There comes a moment, often disguised as discomfort, when you know it’s time to change. Time to stop shrinking into old patterns that once kept you safe, but now keep you stuck. Time to step over the edge of the known and into the luminous unknown where real change begins. But if you’ve ever tried to shift your diet, a habit, a thought loop, or a way of being that feels like second nature, you know how hard it can be. Your mind may long for transformation, but your nervous system clings to the familiar—even when it no longer serves. This isn’t weakness. It’s biology. Your brain is wired to protect you—to favor what’s known, what feels safe, what conserves energy. It stores habits—of thought, behavior, even self-talk—like well-worn trails in the forest. Walking a new path requires effort, repetition, and, most of all, self-love.
