Hi Clare, yes that is normal , waking when fasting is super common, basicilly the body is wondering what the hell is going on and will wake you to say you need to eat! glad you enjoyed it - I loved it very much x

Hi Claire, there is a recipe ebook which has recipes for each phase. Did you see that? xx AND I am so glad that you find them helpful x

Mita Davda, it is what you add to it that is the issue! So just pay attention to that x

Roshni Savjani Sourdough behaves slightly differently, as though the fermenting process, the live bacteria do some of the work for you with the gluten, SOOOOOO if you are very attached, then you can have it. I would give it a miss in phase 2, and then you will be able to compare any effect when you put it back in phase 3 xxx

Hi Mita Davda good Q - and they are to support that focus,if you don't feel that you need blood glucose balance support, then I wouldn't worry about that supplement. xx

Hehehe. Hang in there. X

Jodie Lee I am really glad to hear that - and how are you feeling today

Ah - I loved doing the marathon - I will get around to doing another one soon!!! I am very well Mita Davda thank you for asking, I have been juicing today yes! x

Leanne Blanden Absolutely x

Mita Davda really good questions! Quick thoughts:

Coffee: Our natural cortisol is high in the morning, so coffee then isn’t always as helpful. After lunch when cortisol dips, a coffee can feel more supportive. Just watch sleep sensitivity later in the day!

Oxalates: Honestly, for the vast majority of people, foods like spinach are hugely beneficial — packed with nutrients. In functional medicine, oxalates are seen as a mild hormetic stressor — a little “good stress” that can support resilience. Only a small subset of people with gut or detox issues need to be more careful. No need to fear them otherwise and if you really are worried cooking reduces them greatly Hope that helps! xxx
