Start by adding pure and sufficient healthy choices, and you will begin to feel better. Success with this program lies within simplicity. Focus on all the amazing food you can enjoy.

CONNECT
Relationships create psychological space and safety so that we can explore and learn. When we feel safe and supported, we don’t have to narrow in on survival tasks like responding to danger or finding our next meal. We are able to explore our world, which builds resources for times of stress and adversity. Researchers also find that people with strong social connections have less stress-related health problems, lower risk of mental illness, and faster recovery from trauma or illness.

COPE
Coping is expending conscious effort to solve personal and interpersonal problems, and seeking to master, minimize or tolerate stress or conflict. The effectiveness of the coping efforts depend on the type of stress and/or conflict, the particular individual, and the circumstances. Stress has a major impact on mental and physical health. Coping refers to the thoughts and actions we use to deal with a threatening situation. Since we all become stressed for various reasons we will need to choose different coping strategies.
