Meal Plans
Anti-Inflammatory
This plan is designed for those with inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, autoimmune disorders, blood sugar issues and hormone imbalances. However, anyone can benefit from following an anti-inflammatory diet.If you are having any of these issues:
joint pain
stomach pain
stress
poor diet habits
headaches
Then this meal plan might be for you
Dairy-Free
Many people are lactose intolerant. Some people are not aware they are intolerant of dairy - they just assume that their digestive issues are “normal” because that's all they know.
Continuing to eat foods you are allergic or intolerant of can have negative long term effects.
People from certain cultures may be more prone to lactose intolerance than others. For example, Asian cultures tend to have a higher prevalence of lactose intolerance because dairy historically wasn't a key ingredient in traditional foods, so a lack of the correct digestive enzymes may be to blame.
Dairy can be high in hormones causing symptoms and hormone-related health issues like
estrogen dominance
endometriosis
infertility
polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
If you are suffering from any of these issues then this menu might be for you.
Gluten-Free
Gluten initiates an intense inflammatory response to those with celiac disease that can damage the intestinal lining.
Many people are gluten intolerant. This protein can cause:
pain and inflammation in the joints
bloating/inflammation in the intestine
hives on the skin.
One theory for the growing number of people with gluten intolerance is that our wheat plants have been modified for growing demand and current agricultural trends.
Many foods that contain gluten have a spiking effect on blood sugar and insulin, making them less than ideal for people with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
Research shows that a gluten-free diet can be beneficial to balancing thyroid hormones leaving you feeling more balanced with your moods and in your gut.
If you are having any of these issues,then this menu might be for you.
Gluten & Dairy Free
With our gluten and dairy-free meal plan many people
have less joint pain
have clearer skin
less bloated
If this sounds like you, then this is your plan.
Most people will start to feel better within the first week.
Remember, any lifestyle change will only work if you can stick to it, your body will thank you.
Keto
A ketogenic lifestyle has been shown in studies to be helpful for a wide array of health issues including
type 2 diabetes
polycystic ovarian syndrome
infertility
dementia
Alzheimer's disease
metabolic disorder
arthritis
chronic pain/inflammation
mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
A ketogenic diet is a moderate protein, high fat and low carbohydrate diet, helping the body tap into it’s own fat stores for energy rather than relying on carbohydrates in the diet, This state of fat burning is called ketosis
A ketogenic diet can be tough to maintain but with a strong mindset and our great meal plan, the health benefits are worth it.
