Good morning - Today is day 4!!
It has been so helpful and encouraging to hear your updates and questions. I thought I’d address some of them here as well as privately in emails. A few people have asked for additional detoxification support. Glutathione and NAD (NMN) are supportive supplements to consider. Here is a link to Fullscript with the exact supplements I'd recommend.
You can drink both DETOX Tea and Licorice Tea. Licorice is going to give you a boost in energy and Detox Tea will support your liver.
Lastly, the next zoom call is this Jan 25th, Sunday at 9:00 AM, 20-30 min - virtual only. See you all soon and bring questions!! We will review ways to improve your sleep during the call.
Day 4 Intention | Microbiome Support
The microbiome is the gut’s ecosystem of microorganisms that influences digestion, immunity, hormones, detoxification, and inflammation.
Diet, stress, sleep, medications (especially antibiotics and steroids of any form such as an inhaler or cream), environment, infections, and life stage can impact the microbiome.
Low fiber, chronic stress, ultra-processed foods, and frequent medications can disrupt balance and reduce resilience.
A resilient microbiome is supported through consistent habits: diverse plants/fiber, fermented foods (if tolerated), and sleep, movement, and stress regulation.
Fermented Food: Kimchi, kombucha, tempeh, sauerkraut, miso, pickles, apple cider vinegar, and coconut kefir.

How is your hydration?
Continue to let go of anything that does not serve you. 5 Minutes of breathwork before bed. Let go of old thoughts and breathe in space for new growth. Breathe in for 4, hold for 7, breathe out for 8.
Did you move today? If you didn’t have time yesterday, plan your day today and schedule a 20 min walk.
