Foundation Phase

Week 1: Learn the Protocol

Days 1–7 — Establishing both rituals and locking in the eating window

Primary focus: Consistency over perfection Check-in: End of Week 1
Daily Protocol
Morning — Upon Waking

Morning Ritual

  • Bone broth (Bare Bones Instant — chicken or beef) with MCT oil stirred in
  • Optional: pinch of Baja Gold mineral sea salt
  • Optional: Bragg ACV Honey Cayenne shot
  • No solid food. Coffee/tea (black) is fine.
Eating Window — Afternoon

First Meal & Afternoon

  • First solid food in early afternoon — let hunger guide you
  • Garden of Life Digest+ enzymes with larger meals
  • Baja Gold mineral sea salt on food and in water
  • Stop eating by 7pm. This is the one non-negotiable.
Evening — Before Bed

Evening Wind-Down

  • Tea with Flora Organic Beet Crystals stirred in
  • Add Carrington Farms MCT Oil to the tea
  • Apply Essentially Based Magnesium Oil topically — feet, legs, or behind knees
  • Allow 2–3 hours between last food and sleep
What to Expect

Week 1 is an adjustment

Energy may dip slightly in Days 1–3 as your body adjusts to the changed timing. This is normal, especially if you're used to eating in the morning or eating late at night.

Sleep typically shows improvement first — often by Day 3 or 4. Some people notice morning energy improving before afternoon energy catches up.

The main goal this week is simply showing up to both rituals every day. Perfection isn't the point — consistency is.

Product Integration

Buy everything before Day 1. Having the products in hand removes friction. If you can't source something immediately, the core essentials are: bone broth + MCT oil for morning, beet crystals + magnesium oil for evening.

Don't worry about getting the quantities perfect yet. Start with the baseline amounts and adjust Week 2 based on how you feel.

Week 1 Check-In Questions

  1. Did you complete both rituals at least 5 of 7 days?
  2. How is sleep quality compared to before? (1–10)
  3. Any gut symptoms — good or bad — to note?
  4. How is morning energy compared to before? (1–10)
  5. Anything that made the protocol difficult to stick to?
Foundation Phase

Week 2: Feel the Shift

Days 8–14 — Energy stabilizes, digestion adapts, mental clarity often appears

Primary focus: Observe changes, tighten the window Check-in: Mid-week + End of Week 2
Daily Protocol
Morning

Same morning ritual — add observation

  • Continue: bone broth + MCT oil every morning
  • Note: is morning hunger changing? Most people see it decrease by Week 2
  • Optional: add the ACV shot if you haven't been doing it consistently
Eating Window

Tighten your window slightly

  • If you've been starting at noon, try pushing first food to 1pm
  • Keep the 7pm cutoff firm — this is the most important boundary
  • Continue digestive enzymes with larger meals
Evening

Same evening ritual

  • Continue: beet crystal tea + MCT oil
  • Magnesium oil — should cause less tingling now as levels build up
  • Aim for lights-out within 30–45 minutes of finishing the ritual
What to Expect

Week 2 is where most people notice something

This is typically when the protocol starts to feel like it's working. Energy stabilizes. Mental clarity — the cleaner, steadier kind — often shows up mid-week.

Gut symptoms often shift noticeably. Some people have loose stools as gut flora adjusts — this is normal and usually passes in 3–5 days.

Week 2 Focus

Start keeping a simple daily log — 3 words is enough. Energy: [word]. Digestion: [word]. Sleep: [word]. You'll want this data at the Week 4 assessment.

Week 2 Check-In Questions

  1. What change (if any) is most noticeable so far?
  2. Has morning hunger changed? Describe it.
  3. Sleep quality this week vs. Week 1? (1–10)
  4. Any digestive changes? Easier digestion? Bloating less?
  5. Is the 7pm cutoff holding? What's the hardest part?
Foundation Phase

Week 3: Optimize

Days 15–21 — The protocol is routine. Now we refine it to fit your life.

Primary focus: Fine-tuning + adding movement Check-in: End of Week 3
Daily Protocol
Morning

Ritual + light movement

  • Bone broth + MCT oil ritual — this should feel automatic now
  • Add a 15–20 minute walk after the morning ritual, if possible
  • Walking fasted amplifies the morning window's effect
Eating Window

Quality over quantity

  • Focus shifts to food quality: whole foods, cooked over raw, minimal ultra-processing
  • Digestive enzymes continue with larger meals
  • Experiment with meal composition — note what makes you feel best
Evening

Evening ritual + pre-sleep hygiene

  • Beet crystal tea + MCT oil + magnesium oil — same as always
  • Start dimming lights 60 minutes before bed if you haven't been
  • No screens for 30 minutes before sleep where possible
What to Expect

The protocol belongs to you now

By Week 3, the rituals don't feel like a "program" anymore. They feel like how you start and end the day. That shift is the point.

Most people find the eating window has naturally settled into whatever works for their schedule. Honor that — the specific hours matter less than maintaining the 3+ hour pre-sleep window.

Week 3 Check-In Questions

  1. Does the protocol feel natural or still effortful? What part is hardest?
  2. What's your natural eating window now? (first food to last food)
  3. Any movement added? If so, what?
  4. Body composition changes noted?
  5. Any protocol elements you want to adjust for Week 4?
Foundation Phase

Week 4: Consolidate

Days 22–30 — The final week. Document your results. Decide what comes next.

Primary focus: Documentation and decision Check-in: Full 30-Day Assessment
Daily Protocol
Full Week

Hold the protocol exactly as Week 3

  • Both rituals every day
  • Eating window consistent with your established schedule
  • Morning movement if you've added it
  • Focus on executing cleanly for the final 7 days
The 30-Day Assessment

What changed in 30 days?

Go back to your Day 1 baseline. Compare each category carefully and honestly. The assessment exists not to grade your performance — it exists to show you what's worth continuing.

30-Day Full Assessment

  1. Sleep quality: Day 1 vs. now (1–10 each)
  2. Morning energy: Day 1 vs. now (1–10 each)
  3. Digestion/gut comfort: Day 1 vs. now (1–10 each)
  4. Mental clarity and focus: Day 1 vs. now (1–10 each)
  5. Any body composition changes worth noting?
  6. What part of the protocol had the most impact?
  7. What's harder to maintain than expected?
  8. Decision: End here, or continue into 90 days?
Continuing to 90 days?

If the 30-day reset showed results worth building on, the 90-day transformation is the next step. Weeks 5–12 add movement, deeper dietary shifts, and protocol refinements. Book a consultation to discuss whether it's right for your situation.

Foundation Phase

Week 1: Learn the Protocol

Days 1–7 — Same foundation as the 30-day reset. The 90-day extends from here.

Primary focus: Establishing both rituals Note: Weeks 1–4 mirror the 30-day program

Weeks 1–4 of the 90-day program are identical to the 30-day reset. See the for full Week 1 detail.

The key difference: in the 90-day version, you're building a deeper foundation knowing there are 8 more weeks ahead. Focus on understanding why each element of the protocol works, not just following it mechanically.

90-Day Mindset for Week 1

You're not doing this for 30 days to see if it works. You're doing it for 90 days to rewire how you live. That context changes how you approach the first week — with less urgency, more curiosity.

Foundation Phase

Week 2: Feel the Shift

Days 8–14 — See 30-Day Week 2 for full protocol detail.

Same protocol as . Begin keeping a daily log this week — you'll reference it at the 60-day mark.

Foundation Phase

Week 3: Optimize

Days 15–21 — Same as 30-Day Week 3, with added focus on movement prep.

Same core protocol as . Begin preparing for the movement phase starting Week 5 — identify what movement types you'll be doing and what equipment (if any) you need.

Foundation Phase

Week 4: Close the Loop

Days 22–28 — 30-day foundation complete. Moving into the deepen phase.

Foundation Assessment

Review your first 30 days

Complete the same assessment as the 30-day program. Document sleep, energy, gut, and mental clarity changes. This becomes your 90-day baseline midpoint.

Then: prepare for Week 5's movement integration. The foundation ritual stays identical — the movement protocol layers on top of it.

Week 4 / 30-Day Mark Questions

  1. What changed most in the first 30 days?
  2. Which part of the protocol has been hardest to maintain?
  3. What movement activity are you planning to add in Week 5?
  4. Any protocol adjustments to make before moving into Phase 2?
Movement Phase

Week 5: Movement Foundation

Days 29–35 — Introducing structured movement alongside the daily ritual.

Primary focus: Add movement 3x/week minimum Keep: Full morning + evening ritual
Daily Protocol — Updated
Morning

Ritual + movement session

  • Bone broth + MCT oil ritual — unchanged
  • Movement session 3–5x per week: 20–40 minutes
  • Fasted movement is ideal in the morning window — your body is primed for it
  • Bodyweight, trail walking, or light resistance training all work well
Recovery

Recovery support

  • Increase mineral sea salt on training days — electrolytes matter more when you're moving
  • Digestive enzymes remain important — active muscles need good nutrient absorption
  • Evening magnesium oil becomes more important during active weeks
Movement Guidelines

What kind of movement?

This isn't about performance — it's about getting the body moving consistently alongside the protocol. Any of these work well in the fasted morning window:

• Bodyweight training (push, pull, hinge, squat patterns) — 20–30 minutes
• Trail or nature walking — 30–45 minutes
• Functional resistance work — 3 sets of 5–8 exercises
• Yoga or movement flow — 20–30 minutes

Start with what you'll actually do. Consistency beats intensity every time.

Week 5 Check-In Questions

  1. Did you complete at least 3 movement sessions?
  2. How does fasted movement feel compared to fed movement?
  3. Any soreness or fatigue to note?
  4. Did recovery support (magnesium, salt) seem to help?
Movement Phase

Week 6: Build Capacity

Days 36–42 — Increase movement frequency and intentionality.

Target: 4–5 movement sessions this week
Protocol Updates

Maintain the full morning and evening ritual. This week, increase movement to 4–5 sessions if Week 5 felt manageable. Focus on full body patterns — nothing isolated or machine-dependent.

If you're doing trail walks: extend distance or terrain difficulty. If you're doing bodyweight: add a set or increase the complexity of movements (single-leg variations, etc.).

Week 6 Check-In Questions

  1. Movement sessions completed this week?
  2. Any changes in body composition or muscle tone?
  3. Energy levels during and after movement — improving?
  4. Any adjustments needed to eating window timing around movement?
Movement Phase

Week 7: Recovery Integration

Days 43–49 — Active recovery and the bath/recovery product stack.

Primary focus: Recovery quality
Recovery Protocol

This week intentionally pulls back movement volume (2–3 sessions) to focus on recovery quality. Add one or two of the following recovery practices:

Epsom salt bath (SaltWorks Ultra Epsom) — 20 minutes, 2x this week. Sulfate supports liver detox; magnesium absorbs transdermally.
Indian Healing Clay mask (Aztec Secret) — pore cleansing, used externally 1x this week.
• Extra magnesium oil application post-movement

Active recovery: light walks, gentle stretching, deliberate rest. Not zero — just intentionally easy.

Week 7 Check-In Questions

  1. Recovery quality compared to previous active weeks?
  2. Any notable effect from the epsom salt bath?
  3. Sleep quality this week?
  4. Ready to increase load again in Week 8?
Movement Phase

Week 8: Midpoint Assessment

Days 50–56 — 60-day mark. Full protocol review before the sustain phase.

Primary focus: Full assessment + protocol refinement
60-Day Assessment

Where are you at the midpoint?

Compare against your Day 1 baseline AND your Week 4 baseline. You have two reference points now. What improved in the first 30 days vs. what improved in the second 30?

60-Day Full Assessment

  1. Sleep quality: Day 1 / Week 4 / Now
  2. Morning energy: Day 1 / Week 4 / Now
  3. Digestive health: Day 1 / Week 4 / Now
  4. Mental clarity: Day 1 / Week 4 / Now
  5. Movement capacity: what can you do now vs. Week 5?
  6. Body composition: any changes worth noting?
  7. Protocol adherence: what's held, what's slipped?
  8. Any products you want to adjust or add for the final phase?
Sustain Phase

Week 9: Deepen the Practice

Days 57–63 — This stops being a program and starts becoming how you live.

Primary focus: Refinement and ownership
Protocol Evolution

Refine based on what you know

By Week 9, you have 8 weeks of data about your own body. The protocol isn't rigid — adjust it based on what's worked. Maybe you've found the beet crystals alone work better than the tea mix. Maybe you do better with the ACV shot on some days and skip it on others.

The non-negotiables stay fixed: morning ritual before solid food, 7pm eating cutoff, evening wind-down. Everything else can be adapted to your life.

Movement — Maintain and Enjoy

4–5 sessions per week. By now, movement should feel like something you want to do, not something you have to do. If it doesn't, we troubleshoot what type of movement you're doing.

Week 9 Check-In Questions

  1. Does the protocol feel like yours now, or still like a "program"?
  2. What would you keep forever if you could only keep one thing?
  3. What type of movement do you actually enjoy?
  4. Any areas of the protocol where you're still struggling?
Sustain Phase

Week 10: Stress Test

Days 64–70 — Life doesn't accommodate a perfect protocol. Test the real world.

Real-World Protocol

What happens when it's not convenient?

This week introduces "real world" variations deliberately: travel scenarios, social eating situations, days where the routine breaks. The goal is to demonstrate that the core protocol survives imperfect conditions.

If you have travel or a social event this week: maintain the morning ritual and evening wind-down even if the eating window slides. Keep at least 2 of the 3 non-negotiables every day. The 7pm rule will be the hardest — that's intentional.

Recovery: don't stress missed protocol days. Document what happened and what you chose to do differently. That's the data.

Week 10 Check-In Questions

  1. Did any protocol disruptions occur? What caused them?
  2. How did you adapt? What choices did you make?
  3. How quickly did the body return to baseline after disruptions?
  4. What does this tell you about long-term sustainability?
Sustain Phase

Week 11: Long-Term Anchors

Days 71–77 — Building the habits that keep working after the program ends.

Identifying Your Anchors

What will you keep after Day 90?

This week is about identifying the 3–5 specific elements of the protocol that will stay with you permanently. For most people, this list includes: morning broth ritual, 7pm eating cutoff, evening magnesium oil, and 3–4 movement sessions per week.

Write down your personal list. These are your long-term anchors. The program ends — the anchors don't.

Stocking for After

Review your product stack. Which products have you been using consistently? Order an extra supply so you don't break the ritual during a restocking gap. The ritual is fragile when product runs out and isn't replaced quickly.

Week 11 Check-In Questions

  1. What are your 3–5 non-negotiable anchors going forward?
  2. What products need restocking before Day 90?
  3. What movement routine will you maintain after the program?
  4. Is there anything you want to continue working with a coach on?
Sustain Phase

Week 12: 90-Day Assessment

Days 78–90 — The final week. Full program review and what comes next.

Final Week Protocol

Execute the protocol exactly as designed for the final 7 days. No changes, no experiments. Clean execution for a clean close.

The 90-Day Assessment

The full picture

Compare against Day 1, Week 4, and Week 8. You have three reference points. The trajectory matters as much as the endpoint.

90-Day Full Assessment

  1. Sleep quality: Day 1 → Week 4 → Week 8 → Now
  2. Morning energy: Day 1 → Week 4 → Week 8 → Now
  3. Digestive health: Day 1 → Week 4 → Week 8 → Now
  4. Mental clarity: Day 1 → Week 4 → Week 8 → Now
  5. Movement capacity: beginning vs. end
  6. Body composition changes over 90 days
  7. What's the biggest single change in how you feel?
  8. Which protocol element had the most impact?
  9. What are your long-term anchors going forward?
  10. What would you tell someone who's just starting?
What comes after 90 days?
