Detoxifying Nutrition

06/29/2025

On my 45th birthday, I took on the Kusam Klimb—a 25km trail race with a 1594m elevation gain. .endurance

I finished in 3 hours and 41 minutes, placing 16th overall for women and 1st in my category.

It was an incredible experience—both physically and mentally demanding—and for those hours, I completely forgot I was a year older.

Getting older doesn’t have to mean slowing down. In fact, it can bring the best of both worlds: staying healthy, feeling strong, and gaining a little wisdom along the way.

No matter your age, keep pushing your limits. Life becomes truly beautiful when we dive in wholeheartedly!

I love this one because we often associate Self-care with selfishness, or putting ourself first and before others.

But self-care is to make space for ourselves as we do for others. To attend to our needs, to listen with attention, to accept without judgment, an to love unconditionally.

Taking care of yourself is taking care of everyone and everything that surrounds you as they receive the love as much as you do.

🌱Blue and purple foods(blueberries, blackberries, elderberries, pomegranate, purple cabbage, purple cauliflower): Contain anthiacyanin, an antioxidant with neurological protective properties, beneficial for memory and cognition. Also help regulate blood sugar levels.

🌱Yellow and orange foods (carrot. Mango, squash, yellow peppers, oranges, citrus):
Contain carotenoids (phytonutrient) beneficial to our vision and eye health. They protect the retina from damage from blue-light and UV light. They also help protect the skin from UV damage and have anti-aging properties.
They also contain high levels of vit.C which plays a crucial role in immunity and collagen production.

🌱Green foods(kale, broccoli, spinach lettuce, kiwi, avocado,celery): are packed with essential vitamins(A,K,C,Folate), essential minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron) and fiber. They improve liver function and detoxification, support brain health and cognition, and promote healthy gut microbiome by feeding good bacteria and maintaining a healthy gut balance.

This is our last week of our May Spring Clean! Congratulations! We're almost there!!

This week is all about nourishment.

🌱Whole Foods
We've been eliminating inflammatory foods and processed foods, and this week we want to focus on whole foods. This means you have to commit and get in the kitchen, starting to cook your own meals from fresh whole foods.

- Add quality protein like grass-fed meat, free-range chicken and eggs, organic tofu, wild fish, and some plant protein like legumes and beans and whole grains.

- Add a lot of veggies! Use all colors, make a rainbow to improve minerals and vitamins content. Eat lots of berries for their antioxidant properties. Half of your plate should be vegetables and fruits.

- Add healthy oils like first-pressed virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil.

Create your meals with these in mind and see how much energy you will get from it.

🌱Detox Methods
Help the body eliminate toxins through the skin and lymphatic system

- Skin brushing. Dry or wet brush are great, they open the pores and help the skin excrete toxins.

- Saunas are excellent to help elimination of toxins through sweat

- Lymphatic and deep-tissues massages stimulate circulation, move toxins around and help their elimination.

🌱Movement
At this point you should have a sustainable routine set and be used to it. The idea is to have a system and a routine to move on a weekly basis, something you can keep in the routine forever.

If you want to keep a solid structure as you age, keep your strength, and energy level, you need to keep moving and never stop!

This wraps up our Spring Clean! I hope you followed through with some of the guidelines and felt their benefits!

Please share a comment, we'd love to hear your success story!

This is Week #3 of our May Spring Clean!

Hopefully you have been following the guidelines of the previous weeks, and now starting to feel much better and lighter!

This week guidelines:

🌱Avoid Vegetable Oils
Canola, corn, safflower, Sunflower.. these oils often found in chips, cookies, crackers, baked goods and fried foods, are highly processed, extremely inflammatory and they create toxivity in the body.

Make sure to read the ingredients and labels of packaged foods and try to avoid these oils as much as possible this week.

Alternatively, use avocado, olive, or coconut oils, that have anti-inflammatory properties and bring benefits to your body.

🌱Stress Reduction
Stress is becoming chronic in our face pace environment due to technology that increases our productivity but also our pace of life. We start seeing all these chronic stress conditions as a results. It is important to remind ourselves to slow-down for a few minutes, if possible every hour of the day.

Take 3-5min of deep breathing , recenter and reconnect with yourself. Only a few minutes of deep breathing will switch your system from Sympathetic (fight or flight) to Parasympathetic (rest and relax). Take a few minutes, 3 -to 4 times a day, to reconnect and bring your stress level down. It will create space for your body to feel safe and able to accomplish other tasks (detox, repair, maintenance) than getting ready for fight.

🌱Consistent Movement
Movement and exercise are the base of health and crucial in maintaining a good structure and strength and positive energy level. This week we want to form habit, with consistency. Create a movement routine that is sustainable, find movements where you can pump your heart, increase circulation, and have a good detoxifying sweat out of it.

Consistency is the key to success. Create a routine and follow through every week until it becomes second nature and part of your lifestyle.

That concludes Week #3! Congratulations for your commitment and will to improve!

See you next week, for the final guidelines of our Spring Clean!

Starting week #2 of our Spring Clean!

This week we are building on top of the first week and focus on Gluten & Dairy, Sleep Quality and Increased Movement.

Gluten & Dairy

They are in the same category because their effects are similar in the body. They are both inflammatory, they create stagnation, slow down elimination and detoxification.

🌱 Avoid Gluten (wheat, barley, rye, most grains and flour) keep gluten-free oats, rice, and ancient grains (quinoa, sorghum, buckwheat)

🌱 Avoid Dairy (milk and cheese) and replace with nut milk (unsweetened and organic or make your own from raw nuts!), and coconut yogurt.

Sleep Quality

Sleep is the anti-aging by excellence! It is during sleep that we regenerate, detoxify, burn the excess accumulated during the day. To improve sleep, follow these guidelines:

🌱 Set a consistent bedtime routine. Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning will help the body set that circadian rythm and improve sleep quality and duration.

🌱 Go to bed on empty stomach. Avoid late snacks, make sure you do not eat or drink (juices, sugary drinks, or coffee) at least 2-3hrs before bed. This will improve detoxification and sleep quality.

🌱 Avoid screen at least 45min before bed. No screen and lights in front of your eyes will improve melatonin production and sleep.

We know these methods already, the magic is in consistently applying them ;)

Movement

Building up from week #1, you want to increase duration and intensity this week. Starting where you are at, add a 5 min. to your workout schedule (from 30min to 35min) and increase a bit of the intensity (from walk to brisk walk).

Movementis the key to build your energy level and strength.

Be consistent on those guidelines and you will start feeling the great benefits really soon!

Keep up the good work!
See you next week!

Eating well can be a pain when we don't have time for it! Washing, peeling, cutting, cooking..all these steps take time and energy, and we tend to skip them when we only have a few minutes to spare and "hangry"

Here is a great suggestion on how to prep your week and ensure variety and quantity of vitamins and nutrients to each meal!

1. Wash your vegetables as soon as you arrive from the grocery before placing them in the fridge. You do it there, so you don't have to wash each time you prep a meal.
2. Pre-cut your veggies in juliennes, the ones that will stay fresh after cutting, mainly the cruciferous and some others, any of these ; cauliflowers, broccoli, cabbages, carrots, Brussels sprouts, beets, leeks, raddish, kale
3. Your cut veggies can be mixed and stored in a container in the fridge for up to a week.
4. Add the mix veggies to any proteins, ancient grains, or legumes to create a complete meal.
5. You can saute the mix veggies in olive oil with garlic, ginger, salt and pepper, for a few minutes only , et voila! You have nutritious meal in 5 minutes!
