Here we are, on the verge of beginning a New Year!

2023 was quite a ride! It had all the elements of a good drama but you know what? I’m already looking forward to starting a new year and making a fresh start in 2024. How about you? For some, a fresh start may involve some sort of health goal, and true to form the wellness industry has ramped up advertisements for detoxes, cleanses, restrictive eating programs, and supplement protocols. There is no shortage of options for kickstarting your health journey but how do you know which option is right for you?

There are a lot of choices, do your research.

Water fasting, green drinks, juicing, apple cider vinegar shots, tea cleanses, vegan, carnivore, cabbage juice, supplement protocols, and smoothies galore! This is just the tip of the iceberg! Before choosing a detox program, consider the following:

  • Does the program provide sufficient nutrients?
  • Are your detox pathways open?
  • Will the stress of complying with a complex program override any benefit that may result?
  • Does the program include sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes that support your natural ability to detox without the additional cost of supplements or protein shakes?
  • Is one-on-one support available?

A dietary detox – when done right – is often a good choice.

What does “done right” look like? At Evergreen Wellness Academy we believe a dietary detox should be based on real whole foods like colorful veggies, low-sugar fruits and berries, sufficient protein, and minimally processed fats. A detox program that ticks all those boxes will not require meal replacement powders or supplement protocols. These kinds of products may be useful for some folks however we find building a foundation from a nutrient-dense whole-food diet to be a powerful starting point for most people. An important topic that most detox programs tend to overlook is to evaluate whether your detox pathways are open, and functioning efficiently and what to do if they are not. The last thing you want is to release stored toxins only to have them recirculated in your body because they cannot be excreted efficiently.

The search is over, we got what you need!

The RESTART® Program is Evergreen Wellness Academy’s recommended detox program. RESTART® is a powerful tool to kickstart and maintain your health goals by including a three-week guided sugar detox. RESTART® is a dietary template that teaches you how different types of food are used by the body which empowers you to make the best choices to meet your unique needs. We meet online, once a week for five weeks. Space is limited to allow for everyone to participate and ask questions. You will also have lifetime access to a private Facebook group for ongoing support. Learn more here. The next class starts on Saturday, January 6, 2024.

What makes RESTART® different from all the other detox programs?

The secret sauce is threefold. First, at Evergreen Wellness Academy, RESTART® is led by a team of functional nutritionists who are Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. We are not social media influencers dabbling in the latest trends. We are real-world experienced nutrition professionals. Also, we walk our talk by following the RESTART® template as a basis for addressing our health challenges – yep, we are real people just like you! Learn more about us here.

Second, RESTART® is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, RESTART® encourages you to listen to your body and provides the education necessary to use that information to tailor a whole-food diet to fuel your individual needs. We meet live online to help you navigate the program so you may maximize results.

The third component of the secret sauce trifecta, each of our RESTART® participants receives a 30-minute private consultation (it’s included at no additional fee). This provides you with an opportunity to take a deeper dive into your particular health concerns. Sound good? Reserve your spot now! The next class begins on Saturday, January 6, 2024.

Who would benefit from the RESTART® Program?

If you struggle with any of the following, RESTART® would be a benefit to you:

  • Aches and pains that impact your ability to move with ease
  • Regular use of sugar and/or caffeine to boost your energy
  • Blood sugar-related health issues such as Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Hypoglycemia, Hyperglycemia, elevated HbA1C
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Struggle to maintain a healthy weight
  • Low mood or tendency toward anxiety
  • Elevated cholesterol
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
  • Elevated risk for cardiovascular disease
  • Inflammatory conditions

Maybe you just want to set yourself up to age as comfortably as possible. Or you want to have the energy to keep up with your kids or grandkids. Regardless of your “why”, adopting a food-first approach to health is a winning choice.
