Guiding questions for self-reflection

What kind of toxins do you encounter in your everyday life? Can you identify them in your household and environment?

Keep a journal for 1 week and record everything that you eat. At the end of the week evaluate yourself and see how much of your food intake is healthy and unhealthy. Write down all your unhealthy food choices and discover healthy alternatives. Change only one thing at a time.

• Where do you shop usually? Are there any farmer's markets or food co-ops in your area?
• Do you grow any food? Could you? What would you like to grow?
• Do you take any food supplements? Which brand do you choose? Why?
• Do you have any food-related health conditions (eg. Diabetes)? How much does that cost you? What better food choices could you make to
  improve, or reverse this condition?
• Are you struggling to keep an optimum body weight? What better food choices could you make to lose weight and maintain healthy body weight?
• What kind of environment do you normally eat in? How can you make better choices?
• How often do you eat during the day? What time is your main meal of the day? How can you make better choices?
• Can you cook? How often do you cook? Why?

Remember

• You are the healer. I can show you the way but you have to make the necessary steps to create change. It’s not enough to know what to do you have to act upon that knowledge and do it. Only you can make it happen.
• I promise if you do something different you will have a different experience. It takes 30 days to create a new habit.

Don't wait any longer, take the first step.

See you next week.
