Lifestyle Requirements

Dietary discipline is required.  Experience is the foundation of leadership.  No alcohol and no addictive substances.  The more extreme you can take it…the better you will be able to lead people in difficult situations.  We recommend 100% Raw Vegan as the most powerful and transformational option.

Journal

10 minutes daily of journaling.  This is a period of time that you will experience many things.  A wide spectrum of emotions and feelings from highs to lows…can be expected as your body adapts to this significant increase of energy it now has available.  Enjoy the process of chronicling your journey and make sure to write as personal as you wish as it will remain private…School of Plant Nutrition Faculty does not read this journal.

Food Log

Recording all food and drink taken into your official journal.  Bringing awareness to the subject is a powerful practice and one that will help you appreciate its importance.
