Usher in a new relationship with yourself as you embark on this 9-week seasonal journey.

We are starting with the first pillar of health: nourishment.

Do examine your motivation as you proceed with awareness and self-compassion.

Remember to write an intention for your week and visualize your progress before affirming it.

Some golden rules:

1.   Emphasize pure, fresh, wholesome, local, and diverse foods.
2.   Favor light and lean vegetarian meals.
3.   The antidote tastes for spring- bitter, pungent, & astringent.
4.   The fasting window could be up to 16 hours (at least 12).
5.   Stay hydrated and moisturized.
