The GOAL of the Know Thyself Nutritional Program is to work with YOUR body
and discover the best foods that support YOUR health.
and discover the best foods that support YOUR health.
Every body is different. The 6-week Know Thyself Nutritional Program teaches you how to identify and eliminate the foods that adversely affect your body. At the same time you will learn what foods work best for you, giving you the vibrant health you need to lead a happy, useful, and productive life.
This is how it works:
1. First meeting - You receive a handbook, clear instructions, food diary, and grocery shopping guidance. Along the way you receive motivation techniques, individual support, buddy support, group support, and a few delightful surprises.
2. First two weeks - You detox by eating only approved foods and eliminating the commonly-reactive foods. (Eliminated foods include soy, citrus, specific nuts & seeds, dairy, gluten, yeast, corn, eggs, sugar, alcohol, tobacco and everything artificial. Don't worry - there are many, many foods you can eat throughout the Program! We will help you every step of the way.)
3. Last four weeks - You reintroduce 9 eliminated foods one-by-one so that you can physically experience and tune into what your body is telling you about each food.
It is a known fact that people often ingest foods and food-related chemicals that their bodies don’t tolerate well adding stress and creating discomfort; this in turn causes issues which result in symptoms. Even healthy foods can cause emotional and physical ailments. Identifying these foods and chemicals, and eliminating them, can positively impact a person’s health and wellness.
Additionally, the communication with your body is all too often disrupted by sensory bombardment, desensitizing quick fixes, drugs, chemicals, and/or over-stimulating foods that can short-circuit your body’s signals. As you go through the program, you will learn how to take a ‘physical inventory’ of your body and listen to what your body is telling you.
You will:
* Identify your food sensitivities
* Eliminate unhealthy food cravings
* Revitalize your immune system
* Experience clearer thinking
* Discover untapped sources of energy
* Learn methods for staying motivated
* And more!
Every Know Thyself group dynamic is unique and great. Recently Will Bostock (owner of BLue) and others from and associated with BLue, A Hair Studio, formed a group.
What fun!
They were committed and had wonderful results. They graduated from the Program with high honors.
This is what Will had to say,
"Just wanted to let you know how many great things came out of doing the Know Thyself Program for me. First of all, many people I told about the program would say, "I don't know if I could do that," but I tell people it was actually fun, having a group to meet with every week and share stories and ideas for food choices really made me stay committed and didn't feel like a chore.
I also learned so much about my relationship with food, how I eat emotionally and what I need to do for myself to fulfill other parts of me.
I learned to see healthy food choices as a much broader abundant group of options.
I identified exactly which foods cause problems in body and how to recognize signals in the future.
But I think the biggest thing for me was experiencing how it actually feels for 6 weeks to have consistent energy levels all day, to feel my whole system functioning efficiently, to have very even mood levels, and to feel what it's like to not just tolerate good food but to love and enjoy it.
I can't say enough how much it helped me to have a doable sustainable healthy lifestyle. Thanks for the great work!"
