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.
