HORMONE RESET DETOX REENTRY WEBINAR Sara Gottfried, M.D. www.hormonereset.com
Hi, everyone. It's Dr. Sara Gottfried. Welcome to this final session, Phase 3 of our Detox, reentry. I'm so excited for you. You've made it through the hardest 21 days and now we get to reintroduce foods, if you feel you're ready for that. If we've done our job correctly you're probably a little sick of avocados by now but I want you to keep in mind as we move forward, as we try to take what we've learned in our months together and integrate that into our lives, I want you to remember that calories really are not as important as they were made out to be for the past 20, 30, 50 years. It's really more how your DNA, your gut interacts with healthy foods, healthy fats, clean protein and also slow carbohydrates. What I want to cover today is how to reintroduce foods. I've been helping people take that experience of a cleanse, of a Detox and then bridge that gap so that they're able to go into their maintenance phase. They're able to collect the information about what some of these foods do to their body. I want to share that with you today and it's really important to track your response and to use this method that I've developed and worked with so that you're not taking this process too fast. A lot of people go from cleaning up their diet, being on a Detox, back to their toxic lives and it's too rapid of a transition. I really urge you to take the time with this particular process. I'm also going to help you with how to keep the Detox going because your body has all these natural methods for detoxing every day. You have this in every cell of your body. Sometimes we've got obstacles that are in the way of our best detoxification and I want you to have some of those strategies so that we can keep on going with the Detox, retox, Detox cycle. The cool part is that you're like a blank canvass right now. You've gone through an elaborate elimination diet. We've gotten rid of those foods that tend to be the most allergenic and also tend to be hormonally blocking, they are metabolic blockers. Now, we've got this sacred opportunity to slowly, one at a time, introduce some of these foods back into your food plan. You may not want to bring all of them back in, right? Some people decide they don't want to bring caffeine back in or they can't wait to bring the caffeine back in and maybe in the form of green tea. You get to decide the order and the number of foods that you bring back in but I want to give you a structure for how to do it.

Remember, this is the list of all the things that we've removed. One question is, do you want to bring all of these foods back in? For some people, sugar becomes something that they never eat again or they have it on a rare occasion. They have it once a year, 3 bites of a birthday cake or they decide that it's an avalanche food. It causes problems. It's like the gateway drug to all the other drugs and gaining 10 or 20 or 50 lbs. They don't want to bring it back in. You get to decide how bounded you want to be with those list but today what I want you to do is to choose one from this list to bring back in. We start with one food only and then we track your response for 3 days. Here's how you do it. You're going to eat that one food. Maybe it's Greek yogurt or maybe it's a half glass of wine. You're going to do that at one meal starting on day 22. For those of you who want to extend, you've got more weight to lose, you can certainly do that. You're going to have access to this particular webinar so that you can come back and figure out what your day 22 is. You then repeat that process at the same meal for the next 2 days. Say you have organic, Greek yogurt at lunch on day 22. The next day you would have organic, Greek yogurt at lunch on day 23, and the next day, day 24th, organic, Greek yogurt. That's how you do it. You want to go slowly. You want to perform the pulse test and also journal your mood, energy elimination and look for some of the signs of allergy that I will share with you in just a moment. Here's how you do the pulse test. You take your pulse at rest. My pulse at rest is usually somewhere between about 60 and 70. Then you eat your challenge food such as the Greek yogurt at lunch. You wait 10 minutes and you check your pulse again. If you have an increase of more than 10 beats per minute that suggests an intolerance for an allergy. Some of the symptoms you want to be watching for include the following, upset stomach, discomfort, gastroenteritis, feeling like you have diarrhea or nausea, a runny nose, dark circles around under the eyes. We're hoping that your eyes are really white and clear and you don't have dark circles or bags under them as you step into these final days of our detox together. Shock, edema, swelling. One of the things that happens when I have dairy is gaining about 3 lbs. I swell up. Sometimes I don't even see it in my body but I see it on the scale. It can cause mood issues like anxiety. Maybe even the blues. You can have ulcers, joint pain, asthma, addictive qualities. You may feel like, "That yogurt was so good. I think I need more." Rashes. Rashes are something that often will show up later, maybe even 3 or 4 days after you reintroduce a challenge food. One thing to keep in mind is that the pulse test is not perfect. It's free and it's a great indicator of some of the allergic responses that you can have to food, but there are some other things that you want to be watching for. You want to look for rashes. You want to be tracking some other gastrointestinal symptoms. COPYRIGHT 2015 GOTTFRIED INSTITUTE 2 WWW.HORMONERESET.COM
Remember, the vegetables. I think the vegetables is really one of the most important parts of this Detox that we've done together. I want you to move forward and really to think of this as your new baseline, right? That you've got 80% healthy, nourishing vegetables, 20% clean protein and then the fat is going to take care of itself. Here's what I want you to do. I'm going to summarize it here. This webinar is actually much shorter than the other ones that we've gone through. You're going to pick your one challenge food. We just talked about that. You're going to pick your one challenge food out of the 7. You're going to have one serving a day. Ideally at about the same time for 3 days. You're going to watch your response for at least 3 days, maybe longer, before you add the next challenge food. You can pick the food that's calling to you the most but also consider if there's an addictive quality to it. Continue to go back to that one pound of vegetables per day and you're going to divide it into meals. You're going to drink at least one shake per day. You can have more. You can do your shake meal shake. It's fine to do that just a minimum of 90 days. Drink at least one shake per day just to keep the repair happening with your guy. Remember to get the 35-45 grams of fiber a day. You're going to keep doing that from here on out. It is your new baseline, and take at least one detox packet per day. Some people are taking more. I revealed to you that I take 2 or 3 per day. Then after 30 days I stopped and I switched to my multivitamin. Yay, we are actually finished so you are moving into this Reentry phase. You can take as long as you want to with the reentry but I really recommend a minimum of 7-10 days where you're observing your response to this foods. If you knew that you're allergic to some of these foods already, no worries. You don't have to bring all of them back in. I so look forward to being like detectives together to figure out what happens when you bring some of these foods back in and for those of you who continue to Detox, you feel like you need to maybe take a month or 2 months or 3 months, a total of 90 days to repair your gut, that's totally fine. I just recommend that you don't go beyond 90 days with detoxification. I don't want you to over-detox. Okay, everyone. It's Dr. Sara Gottfried. It's been such a thrill to be with you, to see your progress in Facebook, to interact with you and get your amazing questions and I hope you're going to do it again with us. I think it's so important to hit that reset button on your biology and to keep upgrading your health. It is your divine responsibility and it's my honor to be able to guide you with this and share with you some of the information that I think is so helpful. I just can't wait to hear more from you about this experience and what it does. I can't wait to see that survey that we need for you to fill out at the end of this program, the post-program survey. Please fill that out. We will incentivize for you and make it worth your time. It's what I need to really be able to document what's working, what's really helpful, what still needs to be addressed in this Detox program and I am so delighted that you're part of my tribe and COPYRIGHT 2015 GOTTFRIED INSTITUTE 3 WWW.HORMONERESET.COM
