New Program Alert: The 4 Week Gut Protocol + 4 Weeks for Every Body

 Hey there! I am SO excited you are interested in the 4 Week Gut Protocol + 4 Weeks for Every Body and feeling great again!

What is The 4 Week Gut Protocol + 4 Weeks for Every Body?

You can check out a little about the program here: https://vimeo.com/664131676

The image below goes over all the details and I will cover them below!

Basics:

The 4 Week Gut Protocol and 4 Weeks for Every Body are TWO brand new programs launching together! This information is here to teach you about the programs, why there are two programs included in this launch, and what you can expect!

Did you know that 70% of Americans have undiagnosed food sensitivities? Even if you haven’t noticed your symptoms, everybody can use some extra gut love. Second to the brain, our gut has control over so much of our bodies, both physically and emotionally. Sure, I want to have a healthy gut - but, HOW?

The 4 Week Gut Protocol is a unique, comprehensive nutrition program designed to help promote overall gut health, as well as isolate the most common foods and ingredients that can cause gastric distress and undermine your health and well-being. Taking a month to super focus on my nutrition and track how my body changes with my food changes sounds like the perfect way to kickstart my spring!

But, what about the workouts? That’s where 4 Weeks for Every Body comes in! Yes, you could totally choose to focus on meal prep, clean eating and gut health for 4 weeks - amazing! But exercise is recommended when you take on 4 Week Gut Protocol, it shouldn’t be so rigorous that it interferes with your body’s work in helping your gut.

You’ll need a pair of dumbbells, and a core ball is recommended. For the optional cycling workouts, you’ll need a stationary bike.

Who is Autumn Calabrese?

Autumn Calabrese is the creator of 4 Weeks for Every Body, 9 Week Control Freak, 21 Day Fix, and other fitness programs, as well as nutrition programs The 4 Week Gut Protocol and the breakthrough weight-loss system Portion Fix.

A bestselling author of Lose Weight Like Crazy Even if You Have A Crazy Life and host of the FIXATE cooking show, she’s an IIN-certified holistic health coach and has held certifications from NASM and AFPA.

Autumn is also no stranger to tummy troubles. She’s struggled with the issue over the years — but after much trial and error and working closely with her doctor, she’s finally learned how to uncover her “food sensitivities.” And now you can, too.

Combining her firsthand experience and expertise, Autumn found a way to tackle her physically and emotionally challenging gastrointestinal issues while tying in a workout schedule that’s easy to follow and easy on the joints.

Basically… 2 supplements that can be super helpful to healing your gut!

Grab your favorite strawberry Shakeology and blend with a surprisingly creamy ricotta cheese + almond milk blend.

Mini Strawberry Cheesecakes With Gingersnap Crust

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

1 cup gingersnap cookies (or graham crackers)

1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp coconut oil

2 scoops Strawberry Whey or Tropical Strawberry Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology

2 strawberries, sliced

Add ricotta cheese, Shakeology, and almond milk to the food processor; cover. Pulse until smooth.

Leaving The Mormon Church

 I don't often talk about my faith and religion on here. To be honest after being called out as not being a "faithful enough member" a while ago I really kind of cleaned out all my Mormon from my feed. But It's been a year and a half since my husband and I made the choice to leave the Mormon faith. We both had our own reasons for leaving but it happened at the same time. 

Mine started as community-driven. His was history, or lack of transparency, driven. But it was a choice we didn't take lightly or easily. In fact, I've been in therapy for months about how to process it because I went through a serious bout of depression and anxiety over it. Then covid hit. Covid made it easy to disappear from our ward. My ward didn't care about me anyway, I'm not kidding when I say that. I had zero actual friends. And not from a lack of trying. I threw one game party for the ladies in my ward years ago and one person didn't get invited and a whole other crap happened because of it and I became ostracized. FOR YEARS. I sat alone in the back. And roamed the halls because I never felt wanted or welcome in any of the classes. I have been only going because of my kids. In fact some women thought we moved and didn't even bother to ask or check. So covid made it real easy for me to step back. For my husband, thanks to new podcasts, he learned more about the missing history we were never taught about growing up. Which made him question why they never told us. We both look for reasons to look past, and ignore but ultimately we couldn't follow something that was dishonest with us and our money. (see that was my second thing I had a hard time with.) The tithing money. We have been living paycheck to paycheck, not even we rely on our credit card because we can't afford anything because we obediently gave 10% of our gross income to the church, only to find out in November 2019, the church had amassed over $100BILLION in money, not including how much they own in land and other investments. I started looking at the church as a corporation, a company, and not a religious entity. I get it, everything costs money, but here we were scraping by while the church was sitting on a huge nest egg, for what!?! They barely donate to charity, they don't really help the people locally who need it. They fired all the cleaning people and make the members do the cleaning of all the buildings and temples. I thought they had the members clean because the church didn't have enough to cover it. No, just another way to save money. Oh and leadership gets paid. Even though it's been stated in conference talks that there are no paid clergy. Well, the bishops give a ton of time and don't receive income but the higher ups have multiple perks, but not the higher up women in the church. 

Anyways, this has been brewing and stewing for awhile with me. It is our choice to leave the mormon faith and one that is with a heavy heart. We've finally told our families and as you can imagine it didn't go well for either side. But this is for us. We can't follow blindly anymore. I look forward to our future that we make. That our children make. And my children, when they are adults they are welcome to choose to join the Mormon faith or not. But we won't be pressuring them to get baptized when they turn 8. We want them to make an informed choice. This post is not intended to hurt or damage any person's personal belief. This is just a way for me to move on, and to give transparency,
unlike the church.

Ultimate GENTLE Gut Reset 21 Day Program

21 Day Gut Balancing Reset Challenge Accepted!

Since I’m still restricted on working out the way I really like — doing so many core and upper body workouts is great but...— I decided to Challenge myself in a different way!

For years I’ve wanted to do this program because I know the health benefits of having a balanced gut biome but mentally I wasn’t there. This is challenging. Its 21 day straight of being committed to eat only the foods recommended. Following a schedule. And for it to work you have to be . I’m a rule breaker. I don’t always like to follow rules but...my gut is off. My eating is off. And mentally since I need a challenge, I’m ready. At least I’m telling myself I’m ready! All the food has been bought for this week. I’m prepped and ready to go! You can follow along DAILY over on INSTAGRAM!

What is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset?

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a comprehensive, no-starvation, innerbody tune-up that offers much more than the typical cleanse programs on the market. The Ultimate Reset not only helps you eliminate waste gently and naturally, it also helps revitalize your body and mind, and fuel your body with the micro- and macronutrients it craves. You’ll replace the processed foods you’ve been eating with healthy foods. You’ll eat cleanly—possibly for the first time in your life—and take supplements designed to help your Reset.

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a complete, three-phase, 21-day mind/body program that provides everything you need to help: • Reclaim your body’s natural balance • Release unwanted compounds that have been holding your system back • Restore your system to its maximum efficiency Participants say Ultimate Reset helped with the following benefits:* • Improved digestion • Healthy energy • A more positive mood and better focus • Weight loss (improved BMI)

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a breakthrough program that will help you gently restore your body to its “original factory settings” so you can feel and look healthier.

How does the Ultimate Reset work?

The Ultimate Reset is a 21-day program, but it’s helpful to think of it in three distinct phases, each one a week long:

• Phase One: RECLAIM your body, accessing its inner chemistry and preparing for change.

• Phase Two: RELEASE the unwanted compounds that have been holding your system back and start the detoxification process.

• Phase Three: RESTORE your digestive system, along with other internal processes, to maximum efficiency, putting nutrients, enzymes, and pre- and probiotics back into your body.

After just 21 days, you should feel dramatically better physically, mentally, and emotionally. Will it be challenging? Sometimes. But just as Beachbody’s workouts aren’t the easiest fitness programs you can do, the Ultimate Reset may also require some extra effort. In return, it can deliver extraordinary results. And keep in mind that no matter how challenging you may find it, you’ll have your Coach and the entire Team Beachbody® community in your corner to help you through.

Once you complete your 21-day program, you’ll have a “transitioning back” period, during which you’ll be guided back into life after the Ultimate Reset. You’ll get advice on food and exercise, along with helpful tips on how to maintain—and continue to build on—the great work you’ve accomplished.

What the Beachbody Ultimate Reset is NOT:

• A starvation diet (you’ll eat three filling, healthy meals every day)

• An abrupt cleanse that’s hard on the body (the supplements work together gradually to help gently shift your body’s internal settings)

• A harsh, laxative-based, colon-focused cleanse, which fails to help provide a whole-body Reset (you won’t be running to the bathroom every hour!)

The Six Supplements Used During The Program

Power Greens

• Power Greens is a combination of six powerful greens, including kale, spirulina, cucumber, celery, spinach, and chlorella, each known for providing their own unique benefits, and now brought together to form the perfect “green team.” • A healthy diet, with plenty of greens, may help support the body’s acid/alkaline balance. • Power Greens comes in a convenient single daily-dose packet and is taken throughout all 3 phases of the Ultimate Reset program.

Soothe

• A one-of-a-kind supplement that combines two incredible botanicals: aloe vera and curcumin. • Aloe vera is a succulent plant long used topically in traditional healing to relieve minor cuts, burns, and insect bites. Aloe vera has also been traditionally used to support digestive health and the body’s response to oxidative stress. Curcumin, a household remedy in India that’s long been a staple in Ayurvedic medicine, is a natural extract of the spice turmeric. Like aloe vera, curcumin promotes digestive health and is known for its antioxidant properties that help the body fight free radical damage. • Soothe capsules are taken daily throughout all 3 phases of the Ultimate Reset program.

Mineralize

• Adds natural minerals needed by the body. • Mineralize is formulated with Pink Himalayan Salt, which is minimally processed and has a broad spectrum of trace elements. This beneficial salt and its elements are needed by the human body to help regulate fluid absorption, avoid muscle cramps, and maintain fluid balance in the body. • Mineralize is taken throughout each phase of the program and may be used as a seasoning with your meals.

Detox

• Ingredients traditionally used to help support healthy liver function and digestive health. • When formulating Detox, we set out to create a supplement that was not the most powerful “take it and run to the bathroom” cleanser on the market. Believe us, making that type of supplement would have been easy! We wanted to strike that perfect balance. • Each single dose of Detox comes pre-measured in its own sealed packet. You’ll take this supplement during Week 2 of the program.

Revitalize

• Helps support beneficial flora in the digestive tract. • Probiotics help restore the balance of healthy bacteria in your digestive tract. They are live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They’re sometimes called “friendly” or “good” bacteria because they help break down carbohydrates, and provide a beneficial environment for the digestive tract. • You’ll take Revitalize capsules daily throughout the Ultimate Reset.

Optimize

• Supports nutrient absorption and bioavailability. • Optimize is a proprietary blend of systemic and digestive enzymes that function to help catalyze various natural processes of the body. These enzymes, such as protease, bromelain, amylase, and lipase, can also help support nutrient absorption and bioavailability. • Optimize capsules are taken throughout all 3 phases of the Ultimate Reset program.
