Spring Clean Your Body and Home: Reclaim Your Energy and Embrace Hormone Harmony!
Are you coming out of winter hibernation mode?
Winter is over—spring is here! 🌿 Even if it doesn’t quite feel like it yet, nature is waking up—trees are budding, birds are migrating, and the world is shifting into renewal mode.
But what about your body?
Many of us move less, eat heavier comfort foods, and feel more sluggish during winter. That can lead to:
✔️ Low energy & brain fog
✔️ Stubborn weight gain
✔️ Poor sleep & sluggish digestion
✔️ Increased inflammation & immune system depletion
If you’re tired of feeling “off”, it’s time to spring clean—not just your home, but your body, too! 🌟
From Sluggish to Energized: Jazzmin’s Story
Last year, our patient Jazzmin, a 44-year-old business professional struggling with peri-menopausal symptoms, felt like she was in full-on hibernation mode. ❄️ Between low energy, brain fog, and feeling like a sloth, she was desperate for a reset—and didn’t have time to feel this way.
We guided her through a simple spring detox plan, and within just 3 weeks, she felt energized, clear-headed, and motivated again. 🙌
Here’s how you can do it too!
Step 1: Detox Your Pantry
Start by clearing out the foods that drain your energy and stock up on nutrient-dense staples.
10 Pantry Staples for a Spring Reset
🥤 Protein Powder: Collagen, hemp, pea, or pumpkinseed protein for muscle support & hormone balance.
🌾 Fiber: Psyllium, ground flaxseeds, chia, or PaleoFiber RS to support gut health & detox.
🥬 Green Powder: Our favorite is Nutri-Dyn Fruits & Greens—an easy way to get phytonutrients daily!
🐟 Canned Wild Fish: Tuna, salmon, mackerel, and sardines for omega-3s and brain health.
🥜 Nut & Seed Butters: Sunflower, almond, pumpkin, or tahini for healthy fats & minerals.
🌰 Raw Nuts & Seeds: Pecans, walnuts, cashews, almonds, and sunflower seeds for protein & fiber.
🫒 Healthy Oils: Olive oil, ghee, coconut oil, avocado oil, and MCT oil for hormone & brain support.
💧 Electrolytes: Try Ultima Replenisher for hydration without added sugars.
🍵 Herbal Teas: Ginger, rooibos, peppermint, chamomile, and green tea for digestion & stress relief.
🧂 Sea Vegetables: Dulse & kelp flakes to support thyroid function with natural iodine.
Step 2: Ditch the Energy Drainers
Take an honest look at your daily habits. What isn’t serving your energy, metabolism, or immune function?
🚫 Eliminate:
❌ Processed sugar & refined flour (bread, pasta, crackers, desserts)
❌ Alcohol (which disrupts sleep & liver detox)
❌ Ultra-processed snack foods
🚀 Replace with:
✅ Hydration: Drink half your body weight in ounces of filtered water daily.
✅ Movement: Aim for 30+ minutes daily—even a brisk walk makes a difference.
✅ Sunlight: Get outside in natural light for at least 20 minutes daily to support circadian rhythm & vitamin D.
✅ Gut Support: Take probiotics (or eat fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, & unsweetened yogurt).
Step 3: Consider a Spring Detox
Spring is the perfect time to reset your liver, digestion, and hormones with a gentle detox. If you’re feeling bloated, sluggish, or inflamed, a targeted functional detox can help:
✨ Support liver detox pathways (with herbs & nutrients like milk thistle, NAC, & dandelion)
✨ Balance blood sugar to reduce cravings & inflammation
✨ Reset gut health for better digestion & nutrient absorption
✨ Boost metabolism & energy naturally
