Yesterday I talked about the 10 things to STOP doing if you’re serious about a food is medicine journey. Today, let’s flip the script. These 10 STARTS are simple, powerful, and proven to energize your body, mind, and soul: 1. 🥬 Start your day with fiber, not caffeine—chia pudding, oats, or avocado toast beat the crash. 2. 🧂 Add herbs and spices with purpose—turmeric, ginger, garlic, and cinnamon are anti-inflammatory powerhouses. 3. 🧠 Eat for your gut-brain axis—fermented foods like kimchi, kefir, and sauerkraut support mood and immunity. 4. 🥦 Prioritize cruciferous veggies—broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts help detox and balance hormones. 5. 🥥 Swap seed oils for whole fats—think olive oil, avocado, coconut, and ghee. 6. 🧃 Drink your minerals—lemon water, coconut water, or homemade electrolyte blends hydrate and nourish. 7. 🍠 Choose carbs with color—sweet potatoes, berries, and beets offer antioxidants and steady energy. 8. 🧘‍♂️ Pair meals with breathwork or gratitude—digestion starts with your nervous system. 9. 🥗 Make one meal a rainbow—diversity feeds your microbiome and your soul. 10. 📸 Document your wins—track what works, share what heals, and celebrate every bite of progress. 💬 Which one of these are you ready to start today—and what’s your WHY? Let’s light up the comments with real stories, swaps, and wins.

If you're serious about a holistic food is medicine journey, it’s time to cut the noise and ditch the habits that sabotage your healing. These 10 stops are bold, but your body will thank you: 1. 🥤 Stop drinking calories that spike insulin—soda, sweetened coffee, and “healthy” juices are metabolic landmines. 2. 🧁 Stop treating ultra-processed foods as treats—they’re engineered to hijack your hunger and mood. 3. 🧂 Stop ignoring ingredient labels—if you can’t pronounce it, your body probably can’t process it. 4. 🥓 Stop glorifying high-protein everything—balance matters more than macros. 5. 🧃 Stop chasing detoxes and cleanses—your liver’s real job is daily detox, not drama. 6. 🥪 Stop skipping meals or grazing all day—your metabolism thrives on rhythm, not chaos. 7. 🧠 Stop outsourcing your hunger cues to apps—your body is the original biofeedback tool. 8. 🧊 Stop fearing carbs—especially whole, colorful, fiber-rich ones. 9. 🧁 Stop using food as a reward or punishment—it’s nourishment, not negotiation. 10. 📉 Stop waiting for perfection—start with one swap, one meal, one moment. 💬 Which one of these are you ready to stop today—and why? Let’s talk about it. Your story might be the spark someone else needs.
