I don’t know about you, but with the days and weeks all blending together, I’m ready for a full-on reset to focus on supporting the direction I want to be moving in within the spheres of my body, mind, and spirit. When they “let us out again” (whatever that really means…) from lockdown and shelter in place, I want to be confident that I’m showing up as the best version of myself.

In the spirit of Ecclesiastes 3 from the Old Testament of the Bible (…that was put to song by the Byrds in Turn, Turn, Turn), There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. After several weeks of managing a new reality, perhaps It’s time to re-instate some discipline and routine in our lives and intentionally make choices to create the lives that we truly desire. It’s time to accept where we are in the present moment, assess where we are going, and aspire to succeed.

One of the keys to my sustained success with maintaining a healthy diet is by having periods throughout the year that I really focus on what I’m eating and paying attention to how my body is feeling. I used to do it just once a year in a longer chunk in January, but in recent years, I’ve been doing it several times a year for shorter periods of time. While a four-week or six-week program can seem long, twenty-one days somehow feels a little more manageable with more facility to complete the course. The good news is that 21 days is long enough to make some solid changes in habits and be on the path to even bigger shifts toward your ultimate best self.

Let’s face it, we all know WHAT we need to do – we’ve been reading about it for years at this point. I know that for me for me the more time I spend consciously focused doing what I  believe that I “should” be doing, the more that becomes the default in terms of daily choices related to food, movement, sleep, technology, and more. Knowing what to do isn’t good enough and isn’t going to give any results. What’s lacking for so many of us is actually DOING it. Have you been wanting to make some changes in your diet and lifestyle habits? Are you feeling sluggish after several weeks of lockdown with plenty of comfort food? Want to feel fresh and energized moving into the summer and hopefully some version of socializing? Are you ready to shed what haven’t served you and grow into an even better bolder version of yourself?  Starting May 4, I’m offering a 21-Day Best Self Challenge.

Join me for a  21-Day Best Self Challenge starting May 4!

During the course of the 21 Days, you will receive daily emails exploring a variety lifestyle aspects including movement, diet, technology, sleep, stress, sunlight exposure, and  much more. You will learn the foundational tenants of Primal Health (aligns very closely with Paleo and also referred to as Ancestral Health). This time around, I will also be exploring practices rooted in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Native American wisdom, and latest research on supplements, immunity and more. You will have an opportunity to see for yourself how this lifestyle supports vitality and wellness based on science like biochemistry, molecular biology and nutrition and also based on ancient wisdom.

Truth be told, I’ve tried a lot of different diets and plans over the years. I’m grateful for all of the unique experiences because I’ve learned something from each and every one of them along the way and I want to share what I’ve learned. With the current time and global pandemic, we have all been experiencing constant change and adjustments from week to week. We will tap into that energy of presence and explore more frequent revisions though the duration of the program with a lot of space for to adapt and customize rather than follow a set framework to follow for the full 21 days. I will provide resource materials and guide you through goal setting and reflection processes.

This is a great opportunity to try out some new practices for a few days at a time and then upon reflection decide to continue with those practices or try something else – all during the process of the 21-days.

The 21-Day Best Self Challenge reaches far beyond weight loss and I consider it to be a lifestyle exploration as part of a journey to growing into the best version of ourselves in body, mind, and spirit. This is about feeling good, feeling strong, reducing inflammation, clearing the brain fog, regulating a positive mood throughout the day, reducing stress, feeling rested, having increased confidence, improved insulin sensitivity (potential to reverse pre-diabetes and T2 diabetes), improved memory, hormone regulation, healthy skin, improved GI function, reduced muscle and joint pain, and more. I won’t promise you will have all of this in 21 days, of course, but if any of these ring true for you, there is so much potential to support yourself with a nutrient rich diet and a more mindful perspective on daily routines of movement, sleep and other lifestyle habits.

In addition to the daily email message and suggested daily goals and intentions, you’ll be a part of a private Facebook Group to share experiences, ask questions, get recipe ideas, and know that you’re not alone in this challenge. This online community is a great way to both give and receive encouragement and accountability with others in the group. The group is private, so you’ll have the freedom to share within the group knowing that it’s a safe space to share both successes and also challenges. Many participants have found that they often same the same struggles and support each other to work through the tough patches. Most importantly, it’s a place to show up for yourself and participate with others. I’ll be posting some of my favorite recipes in addition to how to navigate restaurants and social occasions and answering any questions that you have. And new this year, I’ll have live videos at least twice per week featuring movement routines, recipe making, general info-sessions, and anything else that fits appropriately in this space.

Here’s what others are saying about past 21-Day Primal Challenges:

“I was surprised at how easy it was to follow the primal challenge. I like carbs, sugar, and wine, but once I made it past the first several days, my body responded and I found it easy (mostly!) to make healthy choices. Sheila’s support and the bite-sized chunks of information meant that I wasn’t overwhelmed up front. It was great to be able to share tips with the Facebook community too. After the 21 days, my stomach felt noticeably less bloated and I had lost several pounds. I felt energetic and unlike other challenges, I wasn’t eager to go back to my old eating patterns because I felt better!”
-Sara, Graduate Student

“I was skeptical at first to try yet another diet…until I lost almost 5 kilo during Sheila’s 21-Day Challenge. I found Primal Health to be an inspired nutrition and lifestyle behavior program that’s easy to slot into your life without drastically changing your daily routine. I’m very grateful for how Sheila has transformed my way of thinking about food by suggesting recipes, menu ideas, and ways to navigate all my food allergies. The best part: I’ve kept the weight off.”
-Susana, Financial Advisor

“I really appreciated this challenge.  I was not able to do it exactly as suggested, but it did give me new ideas for what to eat and how to exercise.  I liked having something new to try every day.  It kept my mind on my health.”
-Christina, Special Education Teacher
