Three Months. A Quarter of a Year. The Length of a Season. It doesn’t make any difference how you say it. It sounds like a long time, but for what we’ll work to accomplish, it’s only just the start.

We take our time and make changes at a digestible pace (pun intended). We lay down a solid foundation for you to work with your health, and that cannot be done in something as short as a four or even eight week class. In the context of a healthier lifetime, 13 weeks is a tiny drop in the bucket.

Week-by-week, we will walk together through the process of making lasting change. Every live class will have the time to ask questions. You’ll be able to ask questions and receive feedback from your instructor and classmates through our Community Forum.

And you are ALWAYS welcome to contact your instructor DIRECTLY with any questions you may have.

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” —Maya Angelou

When we know better, we can do better. When we ask you to make a change, we want you to first understand WHY you are being asked to make that change.

Why is the food being removed? What is the potential harm of keeping it in the diet? These are the kinds of questions we will ask and answer at each step of the process.

Phase 1: Understanding

We start thinking about how we think about food.

Phase 2: Elimination

We start removing potential offenders from the diet while learning why some bodies have problems with those foods.

Phase 3: Challenge

We stay in a holding pattern to allow our bodies time to acclimate to the changes made in the Elimination Phase.

Phase 4: Integration

It’s time to re-integrate some of the eliminated foods and observe the body’s reaction.

1. Decrease Inflammation 
2. Increase Insulin Sensetivity
3. Metabolic Flexability

If you don’t know what these things mean or why you would want them, don’t worry, because you will by the time we finish the class.

These are too many and too individualized to list.

While changing eating habits and working with the foods we eat is at the core of Empowered Health, food choice is not the only change that we can make to improve our overall health.

This is where the Mid-Week Power Ups come into play. On many (but not all) weeks, you will receive a mid-week video lecture that introduces simple (no-cost) practices that you can bring into your daily routines, which can make tremendous impact on your overall health.

As we discussed above, when you’re asked to make a change in Empowered Health, you will first gain some understanding of WHY you’re being asked to make that change.

But even with understanding, sometimes we resist. Our inner voice tries to rationalize why the change isn’t going to work for us.

The real power of Empowered Health is going to come from actually EXPERIENCING what happens when we make these changes in our daily habits.

You may find that foods you didn’t think you could ever imagine not enjoying daily, no longer hold any interest for you. Or you may find that your relationship with that food is completely different at the end of this 13 week journey.

In the end, you’ll never know unless you try. The more you commit to the program, the more you’ll get out of it.
