plan to heal the gut

plan to heal the gut

The first of the year is a BIG date for many people as it seems like the best option to start a new goal.

But for us, we are starting when we are ready. Once we have all the information sorted. Once we have our goals lined up. Then we will take action.

There is no need to rush changes, especially when you want to see results. Being prepared is key. Having a plan is needed. Believing you can do it is CRUCIAL!

We have never done a “heal your gut” program before. As we mentioned in our video we have done other things to improve our health. We are feeling pretty comfortable with the new changes we are about to do. PLEASE note this is for our journey to heal our gut! This will not work for everyone as we all have different needs and goals. However, if you suffer from the same issues we do, then you might benefit from some of these changes too.

Learn. Adapt. Adjust to meet your lifestyle! And remember we are not saying this is the only way to heal. This is just what we are doing based upon the research we have done.

These next two weeks our diet will be different as we initially planned as Michelle will be traveling and working long days with Raw Threads, so we are adjusting our health and fitness goals accordingly. Please take note this is not a permanent thing for us, just something we are doing to heal our gut.

We are going to use the blog as our journal. We will also be sharing our eats and workouts on facebook, twitter and instagram. So make sure you follow us to keep up!

We got a new juicer to help us during this healing time! Plus, we miss juicing, and it sounds like many of you are ready to juice too!

Healing The Gut Plan:

Remember this our plan to heal our gut. Consult your doctor before beginning any program. Adjust to your own body and needs.

We are not really sure how long we plan to do this program.
