Here at FM, we share a concept that may be new to many people... and this is the "Qualitarian" approach. ⁠
⁠
This means saying goodbye to restrictive diets and labels and focusing on eating high-quality whole foods. Prioritizing quality above all allows you to enjoy a balanced diet without eliminating any macronutrient or food group entirely. It's all about finding better alternatives for optimal health.⁠

You can change your health with five simple steps: one being building a strong morning ritual that boosts mental clarity, emotional stability, and physical well-being. ⁠
⁠
Our favorite morning rituals: ⁠
🌞 Morning sunlight exposure supports healthy circadian rhythms which support balanced mood, energy, and sleep. ⁠
🚶‍♂️ An outdoor walks clear the mind, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function. ⁠
🧊 Cold plunge or shower to increase alertness and release endorphins. ⁠
😮‍💨 Breathwork or meditation which promotes calmness and emotional resilience. ⁠
💪 Exercise to energize, reduce stress, and enhance mood. ⁠
🥚 A nourishing breakfast with protein, healthy fats, and fiber stabilizes blood glucose.⁠

⁠
Of course, each of us is unique and each concern and cause may vary, but nutrition and lifestyle can play a massive part. ⁠
⁠
Here are 5 foods to revitalize your skin from the inside out: 👇 ⁠
🥑 Avocado: Rich in healthy fats, vitamins E and C, and antioxidants, avocados hydrate and protect your skin, promoting elasticity and preventing wrinkles.⁠
🐠 Salmon: Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, salmon reduces inflammation, keeps skin moisturized, and helps maintain a youthful glow.⁠
🍓 Berries: High in antioxidants like vitamins C and A, berries combat free radicals, support collagen production, and reduce signs of aging.⁠
🥔 Sweet Potato: Loaded with beta-carotene, sweet potatoes convert to vitamin A in the body, enhancing skin cell turnover and providing a natural glow.⁠
🍵 Green Tea: Rich in polyphenols and catechins, green tea reduces inflammation, protects against sun damage, and improves overall skin texture.⁠
⁠
Have you noticed your skin is affected by diet? Which foods trigger acne and which help soothe it? ⁠

From all the fad diets throughout the years, it’s probably clear that no one diet works for everyone alike! ⁠
⁠
To understand nutrition, it is important to understand that each of us is unique. Our biochemical individuality means we all have a different makeup and need different things at different times in our lives to thrive.⁠
⁠
With this being said, several broad principles are supported by a significant amount of scientific research, which you can learn and implement in your daily life to thrive. Christa Orecchio, one of our expert teachers, educates us on the concepts of bio-individuality and tips to nurture our personalized health. ⁠

Although wellness has entered the cultural mainstream, our society has still never been sicker. Unfortunately, we aren't taught about real nutrition in school. We have a medical profession that is rarely trained to use food as medicine, and the multi-billion dollar fast-food and pharmaceutical industries thrive on misleading consumers.⁠
