Foundations: Body Mind and Sanctuary Part 1 – Diet Detox

Modern food culture is saturated with conflicting advice, highly processed products, and marketing that blurs the line between nourishment and convenience. This course offers a clear, practical framework for returning to clean eating by helping participants understand what truly supports digestion, metabolic balance, and long-term wellbeing.
Through a blend of traditional dietary wisdom and modern nutritional insight, the course guides learners in “detoxing” their diet—not through restriction or extremes, but by simplifying food choices, reducing inflammatory inputs, and rebuilding a supportive home food environment.

Class Description

Clean eating is often misunderstood as a rigid set of rules or a temporary detox plan. This course reframes it as a foundational lifestyle approach—one that prioritizes whole foods, digestive strength, and conscious food choices over calorie counting or dietary trends.

Participants explore how ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, industrial oils, and synthetic additives disrupt digestion, blood sugar regulation, and inflammatory balance. The course examines why many popular diets appear different on the surface yet share the same core principle: the removal of highly processed, non-food substances. Emphasis is placed on discernment—learning how to evaluate foods based on quality, processing level, and physiological impact rather than labels or marketing claims.

The course also addresses the practical side of dietary change, including how to stock a kitchen, shop intelligently, prepare simple meals, and gradually retrain taste preferences. Rather than promoting perfection, it encourages sustainable shifts that support both physical health and mental ease around food.
