- Promotes excellent digestionA healthy, robust digestive system is necessary for optimal health and energy. The foods in this diet plan are easy on the digestive system. This diet excludes foods that cause digestive issues for many people, like beans, legumes, grains, and refined flours.
- Optimizes thyroid healthOn the thermo/pro-metabolic diet, you only eat foods that are good for your thyroid. Your thyroid gland makes hormones that control your body's metabolic rate, which controls heart, muscle and digestive function, as well as brain growth and bone preservation.
- Supports the production of biological energyWith all of the above (optimal thyroid function, protective hormones, and digestion), one is bound to experience higher energy levels everyday. This diet includes foods and substances known to provide your cells with all the building blocks they need to produce ATP, which is cellular energy.
- Balances your hormonesThe thermo/pro-metabolic diet will balance your hormones. It will maximize the range and levels of protective hormones that your body needs to thrive, and it will minimize stress hormones that weaken and cause harm to your body.
