Lifestyle Education
Unrelenting stress, poor diet, and too little sleep all hinder the body’s efforts to maintain equilibrium and health. By practicing stress reduction techniques, improving your sleep, and eliminating foods that tax the body, you’ll lay the foundation for our nutraceuticals, tinctures, and medicinal teas to work effectively &mdash while adopting a more supportive lifestyle overall.
Clary Sage Healing Diet
When stressed or tired, many of us turn to comfort foods like baked goods, sweets, or processed snacks that offer a quick energy boost. These foods might “feel good” in the short term, but their lack of real nutrition causes swings in blood sugar levels that can disrupt the body’s functioning.
The Clary Sage Healing Diet is designed to stabilize blood sugar levels and improve your sense of well-being by focusing on vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and foods that are rich in protein. It also calls for eliminating foods that tax the body excessively, including gluten, soy products, sugars, alcohol, and caffeine. This may seem difficult at first, but you will feel better for your efforts — and that’s the ultimate goal of any true wellness program.
Sleep
As an essential element of health and wellness, nighttime sleep doesn’t just provide much-needed rest — it’s a critical time of physical repair and mental rejuvenation that allows us to recover from the day’s activities.
Stress Management
Chronic over-stimulation of our fight-or-flight response can lead to suppressed immunity and exhaustion of the hormonal system, which is why it’s so important to reduce and manage stress during your transition to optimal health.
Exercise
Burning excess calories isn’t the only benefit to exercise. It’s also known to help reduce stress by balancing cortisol levels, improving circulation, and increasing energy and vitality, making daily exercise a key part of any wellness program.
