The ultimate food plan for healing trauma.

Your healthy life begins with what you eat and how you move your body. Not only does it support every cell in your body, this food plan will help you:

• Lose weight
• Heal trauma and other mental health issues
• Balance blood sugar and hormones
• Ensure you are meeting your nutrient needs
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve gut microbial balance and 
• Help eliminate disruptive toxins and hormones from your body

All of the food recommended in this plan supports healthy cellular methylation. Methylation is a biochemical process that happens in every cell of our body all of the time. Methylation is not only involved in building our DNA, it is also one of the ways that the body makes sure the right genes are turned on, and undesirable genes are turned off. That means that all the foods in this plan support health on the cellular level proven by double-blind, peer reviewed research and are recommended by functional medicine doctors to achieve optimal health. It also means that by eating these foods and following lifestyle recommendations, even if we have a gene that predisposes us to a disease like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, or cancer, we can help that gene to stay silent by supporting healthy methylation through this plan. Here are some of the ways we use methylation:

• Gene building 
• Regulating how our genes get expressed
• Cellular renewal 
• Cellular energy 
• Making healthy immune cells 
• Detoxification 
• Hormone balance 
• Histamine balance 
• Preserve youthfulness

The goal of this food plan is to support healthy cellular methylation by using foods that have been scientifically proven to support this process. This plan is ideal for anyone who has suffered from health problems associated with trauma and mental health issues such as PTSD, anxiety and depression. I developed this food plan to support the healthy function of the body from the root cellular level. Stuck energy, emotions and trauma are best processed through a healthy body. Many people forget this VITAL connection. These recipes are tried and tested and what I eat day-in-day-out for my own optimal physical and mental health. They are not trendy juice fasts, vegan, paleo or keto – they are down-to-earth, anti-inflammatory foods that support healthy DNA methylation. This means they are supporting your health from the root cellular level. The food plan in this book is developed to help you balance your body processes, systems and support healthy mental health. Your healthy, balanced body easily connects with spirit and intuition to create the life YOU desire and deserve. Hope you enjoy!
