28 Day Total Health Reset

Frequently Asked Questions

• What do I need to complete this programme?

  I would highly recommend having a journal to hand. If you don't like writing physically, create a document on your computer for you to take notes and complete any journaling recommended.

• Do I need to follow the meal plan 100%?

  Nope! I will be sharing the principles that are behind the meal suggestions. I recommend you keep to the principles shared, but feel free to substitute things based on allergies / preferences. The meal plan is here to make things easier, not to restrict! Also, the principles shared should help make going out for meals easier too (because we want this to be a lifestyle, not a restrictive diet!)

• How long do I need each day to complete this?

  In terms of meals, I try keep meal prep to under 30 minutes. Where possible, I create meals that freeze well so that you can double up on the portions and save the leftovers where possible.

  For the daily practices, aim to carve out one hour per day to complete these.

• Do I need to know how to cook?

  This is always a great bonus, but I have kept all the recipes simple so that anyone can cook them. I have avoided complicated processes, equipment and ingredients.

• Do I need to track my calories?

  Nope! Tracking calories can end up being incredibly stressful, but is also not the most accurate way of tracking things (if you are interested in understanding more, Google Dr Giles Yeo who has done some amazing research on this). 

  We will be tracking the following aspects throughout the programme:
  1. How often do you feel hungry?
  2. Energy levels
  3. Sleep quality
  4. Cravings
  5. Bowel movements (don't worry, this is you tracking you, so it will all remain completely private)

• What are the science-backed methods used?

  My focus on nutrition from a science perspective is two-fold:

  1. Gut-centric eating – this process focuses on a style of eating that supports a healthy gut microbiome. I take learnings from gut-health experts such as Prof. Tim Spector and Dr. Meggan Rossi
  
  2. Glucose balancing focus – as someone who is very glucose sensitive, learning to balance my own glucose levels has been an absolute game changer. Taking learning and research from Jessie Inchauspé, my focus is to show you how to eat in such a way that you stay full, avoid a 3pm energy slump and curb cravings naturally
  
  3. The science of nutrition – during this programme, you will not hear me speak of food as good or bad. Everything is nuanced as it is so dependent on what your alternative would be. I will focus more on what foods will do to your body to guide you in decision making. e.g. sugar in all forms = glucose, so I will not be recommending agave syrup over white sugar... in your body, these are the same!
