Those who attended learned how to personalize and customize plant-based food choices and appropriate lifestyle changes to restore and maintain energy. Those who attended also received a FREE “How To Be A Healthy Chocoholic” information and vegetarian recipe guide to deliciously and nutritiously improve your mood and support energy without processed sugar.
Here are some highlights of what we discussed, and related reference materials.
We had a lively and engaging Q&A during the webinar. Only one question remained unanswered:
Q- “Is there any test to determine proper digestion?”
A -There are a number of clinical tools that can determine the status of your digestive system.
You may wish to consult your medical practitioner for a diagnosis and recommendation. To assist you in understanding the root cause of why you are chronically tired and to create a personalized and customized health action plan, a PDF has been created from the presentation.
FOOD AS MEDICINE TO BEAT FATIGUE AND RESTORE ENERGY
Participants used this self-assessment scorecard to assess how well they were nourishing their adrenals. Among other things, the main purpose of your adrenals is to enable your body to deal with stress from every possible source from physical to emotional, from real or perceived ranging from injury and disease to work and relationship problems. They largely determine the energy of your body’s responses to every change in your internal and external environment.
