Take the journey with me.
We'll begin with the red book to focus on body health, the Basics:
The objective is for you to start from where you are. What's in your cupboard, cabinets, fridge? I'll share suggestions on changes you might consider.
Is it difficult to get healthy foods in your neighborhood? I'll offer points on what should be the staples and how best to ensure you have access.
When you go shopping, what are your priorities? I'll recommend how you might focus moving forward to achieve your standard of better health.
Then, we'll move to the blue level of Full Meal Preparation. You'll learn how to incorporate plant-based foods in your diet. It's okay, if you eat meat, now. Note this is a journey, not a sprint. I'll also show you how to prepare traditional meals a bit healthier.
Finally, we'll get to the Healthy Living Consulting phase, at this point you're bouncing ideas off my experience regarding healthy food choices, and I'll share ways for you to conduct your own research and begin your path, not to only sustain the eating habits that you determine are best for you and your family, but also assist you with establishing the path you need to get your mind to remain focused, alongside the techniques that can keep your spirit lifted.
As always, I advise you to consult with your doctor before making changes to your lifestyle.
