Detoxes for the HealthTypes – Coach Edition

Rebooting the HealthTypes

There are six HealthTypes featured on the HealthType circle – each one has a way to reboot that most effectively helps them to feel refreshed and energized. Scroll down to get to know more about how to Reboot with foods for the Activator, Connector, Guardian, Diplomat, Sensor, and Crusader.

The Activator

The best type of Detox for your body is NO FATS and NO PROTEINS for a series of days. Think that might be a challenge? You’re probably right but it gives your liver an excellent break from processing all the protein that you usually get from your diet (you like protein, right? That’s totally natural for you!).

#Activators have a short digestive system so the digestive process happens quickly. Even while you Detox you need to eat frequently, with up to five or six small meals each day. Be prepared so you don’t get ‘hanrgy’ and variety can help you stay interested and your taste-buds excited.

The Connector

The best type of Detox for a Connector is SMOOTHIES. Yup, fresh fruit and veg smushed up looking pretty! Your body gets a break from hard-t-process foods and the fibre content importantly helps to slough away any build-up in your intestines.

#Connectors have a great relationship with food – how it tastes, how it feels, and even how it looks. It’s important for the Connector to keep this in mind when preparing foods – especially during a Detox! A variety of fruits and vegetables that differ in taste, aroma, and color will help keep your senses satiated, and an environment filled with other healthy, conscious eaters will make a fulfilling meal all round.

The Guardian

The best type of Detox for a Guardian is WARM LIQUIDS AND BROTHS. Delicious, aromatic warm meals with as many herbal teas in between! This allows you to get the nutrients you need and release stored energy at the same time as reducing the workload for your body.

With a naturally nurturing focus, #Guardians also tend to like large portions and foods that give pleasure. You can enjoy these without restraint during your Detox using flavorsome herbs and spices. Be sure to surround yourself with positive support as you Detox – people are as important as food.

The Diplomat

The best type of Detox for the Diplomat is just FRUIT & VEGETABLES, especially green leafies! This gives your body a break and removes anything that happens to be fermenting in your intestines while the magnesium from those leafies helps soothe and support your gut.

#Diplomats have the longest digestive system so a five- to six-hour fast between meals is very healthy for this body. In fact, you may be totally satisfied when eating only 2-3 times each day. Eating is a pleasure-filled activity – especially as you Detox so it’s important to take joy in both the foods you eat and the company you keep during meal times.

The Sensor

The best type of Detox for a Sensor is JUICING. This gives you a real break from the effort of digestion while still giving you a power-pack of nutrients however extended fasting is not suitable for your body so your Detox period is very short and should be coupled with a period of optimizing your nutrition.

#Sensors naturally have a high metabolism and low body fat so are unlikely to gain weight, even if eating unfavorably for a period of time. However, that doesn’t mean that a Sensor can eat a poor diet and be healthy. At all times, and especially during a Detox, you tend to need help from your foods with thermoregulation (staying warm!). Be sure to drink room-temperature juices and avoid cold food when you can.

The Crusader

The best type of Detox for a Crusader is alternating days of Detox and Optimized nutrition. Detox foods are LOW-PROTEIN, LOW-FAT, and moderate to high CARBS. This format is to maintain the high amount of energy your brain and body burn at the same time as removing build-up that causes stiffness in the body tissues.

#Crusaders have a high metabolism and a tendency to maintain a strict regime which means it’s unlikely that you will gain weight accidentally. Eating three to four times a day maintains a Crusader’s energy and a good steady intake of carbohydrates is required to continually fuel the ever-working brain and body. Well-cooked proteins are a must as the Crusader stomach tends to have lower naturally occurring levels of hydrochloric acid than other bodies.

Getting the Details

During the 10 day Reboot you’ll enjoy DETOX days and OPTIMIZE days. Detox days following the recommendations above and Optimize days are when you consume your GREEN-RANKED foods from Shae ONLY (as much as possible!).

Food is what fuels your body every day so it makes sense that the quality of food that goes in affects the quality of your lifestyle. Consider the reboot like a Spring clean on the inside… but it doesn’t have to be a serious affair. You can do as much or as little as you like – the important things are that you:

Keep learning about your body, and
Have fun with it all!
