The Spring Reset Your Body Craves

Hi Fitlifer,

Spring is almost here! 🌱 Your body feels it too - in fact, it's already trying to shift gears for the new season. This week, I'm sharing three simple ways to support this natural transition (plus one shocking habit that most people get wrong every single day). Ready to feel lighter, more energized, and in sync with the season? Let's dive in!

Here’s what we’ll dig into together this week…

💮Goodbye Winter! Your Spring Detox Reset

Your body's been in storage mode all winter - now it's time to shake things loose! During colder months, your metabolism naturally slows and your body holds onto more toxins. In our modern world of constant food and indoor heating, this ancient programming leaves us feeling sluggish and inflamed.

Signs You Need A Reset:

• Unusual fatigue despite adequate sleep

• Skin breakouts or dullness

• Digestive sluggishness or brain fog

Your 3-Day Spring Reset:

☀️Morning: Start with warm lemon water to stimulate bile flow. Follow with Green Juice for chlorophyll, which binds toxins while supporting your liver's detox pathways.

🍎Midday: Focus on bitter foods like arugula and dandelion greens. These stimulate digestive enzymes and support your liver. Add raw apple cider vinegar to water for enhanced mineral absorption.

🌙Evening: End with Pure mixed in warm water before bed. The minerals support overnight detox processes while calming inflammation.

Movement matters: Your lymphatic system needs movement to function! Daily bouncing exercises like rebounding or even a brisk walk helps flush toxins. 💃

Breathe it out: Try this simple technique: breathe in 4 counts, hold 7, exhale 8. Repeat for 2 minutes, 3 times daily to increase oxygen delivery and support detoxification. 🧘‍♀️

Remember, your body knows exactly what to do - sometimes it just needs a little seasonal support.

😶What Happens When We Don't Chew

Most of us are doing something wrong at nearly every meal without realizing it, and it's affecting our digestion, nutrient absorption, and even brain chemistry.

👄Digestion Starts in Your Mouth 👄

When you chew thoroughly, you're triggering enzymes that pre-digest your food. Amylase in your saliva specifically breaks down carbohydrates, affecting your blood sugar response.

Most people chew each bite only 3-5 times before swallowing, while research suggests dense foods might require up to 50 chews for optimal digestion!

💸The Hidden Costs 💸

• 🗑️Nutrient waste: Large food particles can't be properly broken down, meaning those expensive organic foods might pass through largely undigested. Thorough chewing increases nutrient absorption by up to 30%!

• ⚖️Weight impact: It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register fullness. By chewing thoroughly, you slow down, giving your brain time to recognize satiety.

• 🔌Missing gut-brain activation: Each chew sends signals to your vagus nerve, triggering digestive enzymes and preparing your entire system. Skip this step, and you're essentially surprising your digestive system.

🧪Try this: For one week, chew each bite until it's nearly liquid. You'll likely notice improved digestion, less bloating, enhanced flavor appreciation, and better energy after meals.

🍽️ "Microwave Safe" Is Not Actually Safe

You’ve probably seen it stamped on plastic containers—"Microwave Safe." Sounds reassuring, right? Wrong. That label only means the container won’t melt or warp—it says nothing about whether it leaches harmful chemicals into your food. And spoiler alert: it probably does.

🧪 The Chemical Leak You Can’t See

A 2013 study found that microwaving food in PET plastic increases the migration of antimony and BPA—both linked to serious health issues. And if that wasn’t bad enough, BPA and phthalates—common in plastics—are endocrine disruptors. They mimic, block, or alter hormones, leading to hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, and even increased disease risk.

🚫 Ditch the Plastic, Protect Your Health

Every time you nuke leftovers in plastic, you risk dosing your food with hormone-disrupting chemicals. The fix? Keep plastic out of the microwave. Switch to glass or ceramic to avoid turning your meal into a toxic experiment.

Your hormones run the show—don’t let plastic mess with them. Make the swap, protect your body, and heat your food the right way. 🔥🍽️

That's it for this week! Remember, your body has incredible wisdom - sometimes it just needs a little seasonal support to thrive.
