Hi everyone, I hope week 3 is going well for you! Quick reminder: we have our week 4 prep call TONIGHT at 6pm CT! I highly suggest attending live if you can, as both diet and supplementation will change in week 4. I'll be covering the liver detox process and why we support our liver during the second phase of the Gut Reset Program. Hope to see you there!

Hi everyone! I hope week 4 is going well for you. This week our lifestyle focus is exercise. I wanted to drop a few tips here on how to begin a new exercise routine, in the least stressful way as possible (reminder: we ideally want to use exercise as a way to complete the stress cycle, not create a new one!).

- Utilize the science of habits (more info in week one of the Gut Reset guide). Try habit stacking - adding the new habit onto a pre-existing one. For example: if you already go for a walk in the morning but want to incorporate yoga, try doing yoga directly after your morning walk.
- Start small: Start with 5-10 minutes and slowly build up over time.
- Find a form of exercise you enjoy. The best exercise is the type we do consistently (ideally 3 days a week, 52 weeks a year). If you hate running, don't force yourself to do it because it's what you think you "should" do. Try lifting weights, yoga, or dancing. You won't always have the motivation to exercise, but if you find a method of exercising you enjoy and feel good after participating in it'll be easier to stick with, even on days you don't feel like it.
- Try exercising with a friend or family member. Schedule a walk or plan to take a class together. Having accountability can help us stay committed. Working with a certified personal trainer can also be great for accountability.
- Experiment. In addition to trying different types of exercise, explore different environments. Try working out at home, at a gym, in a class setting or outside.

I hope these tips help! Feel free to reply below and let me know how exercise has been going for you this week.

Reminder that we have our Week 5 prep call this evening at 6pm CT! We are shifting to once a week calls, so this will be our last call until next Thursday.

We will be doing some reflecting and future visioning this evening, so please come with a pen and paper (or preferred journaling tools). Hope to see you all there!

I've added a few meat-free recipes to the guide starting on page 41.

Tip: Wherever you would usually include meat or animal products in your meals, substitute nuts, seeds, beans or avocado.
To keep blood sugar levels balanced this week start meals with a fat source, then fiber (veggies), then lastly eat your starchy carbohydrates (sweet potatoes & gluten free grains).

I'll continue to add more recipes as the week goes on!

Hmmm...I don't see the meat-free recipes. The recipe on page 41 is ZUCCHINI CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE.

I've created a new document with some of the new meat-free recipes, plus some pre-existing ones.
