Why NOW is the best time for this…
Happy first week of Fall if you are in the northern hemisphere and Spring if you’re in the southern.
I personally love the cycle of seasons and the variety they add to life. I can’t wait to indulge in some of my favorite fall foods and decorate my house with all things Halloween.
But I didn’t always feel this way…
Seasonal shifts used to really get me down because of the impacts they had on my health. Every Fall and Spring I would struggle with:
- Foggy brain
- Low energy
- Congestion
- Earaches or infections
- Coughing and sneezing
- And downright just feeling blah!
When I moved from Northern California to sunny San Diego for college, I started suffering from seasonal allergies which I found to be odd since I had moved from a farming town full of pollen to a place with refreshing ocean breezes, so it didn’t really make sense. But I brushed it off ignoring the smoke signals my body was sending.
I’ll never forget walking home from class on the dreadfully hot San Diego Fall days (yes, it can get very hot in San Diego from about August to November due to the Santa Ana winds coming from the East pulling dry heat and all kinds of pollen with them). I lived in a seasonal allergy haze on these days. I couldn’t think straight, I had headaches and recurring earaches, and despite how much coffee I drank I couldn’t break the wall of fatigue.
Now seasonal shifts are a blip on my radar. I still feel them but they don’t take me down the way they used to anymore. For perspective, my symptoms are a 1 or 2 on a scale of 1-10 when they used to be an 8 to 10.
Seasonal allergies might be common, but they are not necessarily normal.
The frequency and intensity of seasonal allergies are clues about your body’s detox, digestive, and immune system function since they represent an inflammatory response; the more frequent and intense, the bigger the indication is for poor body system function.
The stronger and healthier your body systems are, the more resilient and thus less reactive you’ll be to things like pollens and allergens in the air.
Over time, I have implemented strategies to reduce the inflammatory load on my body that has drastically reduced the intensity of my seasonal sensitives down to almost zero. And when the seasons change, I have a few other tricks up my sleeve to keep even the smallest symptoms at bay.
When seasonal shifts started to hit me hard in my early 20s, my inflammatory way of living at the time didn’t help my case. I was…
- Eating mucous-producing foods like gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, and alcohol
- Staying up late and not getting adequate sleep for my body to recover daily
- Working out hard when my body was depleted from poor sleep and food choices
- Enduring long stressful days going to school full-time, working and interning
- Dealing with a variety of very emotional family and relationship events
This combination of emotional stress, less-than-ideal nights of sleep, hitting the gym hard, hidden environmental toxins, alcohol, and sub-optimal food choices increases the demand for cortisol to regulate stress and inflammation.
The constant demand for cortisol due to an overstimulated fight or flight response really starts to wear down your body over time, and it can lead to all kinds of body system imbalances that express themselves as symptoms like seasonal allergies.
The good news is… to restore balance to your body and reverse symptoms like seasonal allergies, it’s actually quite simple.
You can do this daily by:
- Eating the right foods for your body
- Being asleep by 10 pm and sleeping through the night
- Moving your body daily and decreasing exercise intensity on days you feel tired
- Drinking at least half of your body weight in ounces of water to flush toxins
- Taking time to destress and disconnect daily even if it’s for 5 minutes at a time
- Gradually eliminating toxins from your environment
All of which I guide you through in my 28-Day Cleanse Challenge.
In fact, NOW is the perfect time to focus on supporting your body in these ways.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fall and Spring are the best times of year to cleanse and detox the body of harmful impurities that have collected in our organs and tissues to restore balance to the body and prepare for the next season ahead.
I created the 28-Day Cleanse Challenge to give you a step-by-step easy way to detox for increased energy, weight loss, hormone and digestive balance that decreases belly bloat, allergies, and other symptoms of poor health.
It’s even specifically designed for health-minded people like you who want to take their health to the next level, naturally.
This challenge will help you boost your body’s natural detox process using foods and gentle cleansing methods, so you can:
- Shed stubborn pounds
- Boost your energy
- Reduce inflammation
- Strengthen your immune system
- Enhance your hormones and overall health
The 28-day Cleanse Challenge starts as soon as you enroll (there’s no waiting), and you can participate for just $1 per day!
Your body is hard at work for you all year long—it’s constantly filtering out toxins that you unknowingly or knowingly are exposed to; digesting and converting food to energy for you; and even running on little sleep or pushing through overworking.
Doing a cleanse during the ideal times of Fall and Spring always helps refresh my body, boost my energy, and maintain my ideal weight.
Consider the Cleanse Challenge as an opportunity to recommit yourself to healthy practices after Summer, to prepare your body for winter, and to get ahead of the holidays that are coming up!
Joining the 28-Day Cleanse Challenge is like hitting the “reset button.”
Because we’re not perfect (and we shouldn’t expect ourselves to be); you can’t control all the variables in your life or health all the time. And because your body works so hard for you every day, this is a chance to give it 28 days of your undivided attention to reset yourself to feel your best.
Here’s how the Cleanse Challenge works. Over the course of 28 days, you will…
- Learn what ratio of proteins, carbs, and fats that are best for your body to boost your energy, weight loss, balance hormones, reduce belly bloat and inflammation
- Incorporate the highest naturally detoxifying foods (beets, grapefruit, dandelion greens) into your daily routine to promote the body’s natural cleansing systems
- Focus on minimizing your intake of the top inflammatory and hormone-disrupting foods: gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, and alcohol
- Get accountability to work out regularly, drink plenty of water, and get quality sleep in order to support the body’s cleansing and healing process
- Receive 30-minute weekly educational webinars and be part of a special Facebook group for support
- Receive recipes and a checklist to guide you along your journey
- Get exclusive resources and discounts to help you along your journey and beyond!
Throughout my health journey, I have incorporated all of these strategies into my daily way of being to eliminate seasonal health issues, boost energy, lose weight, and create long-lasting sustainable results.
