What is an Elimination Diet?

The Elimination Diet: A Reset That Builds Awareness, Not Restriction
If you’ve ever said, “I just want to feel better in my body,” this is where that starts.
The Elimination Diet is a structured, short-term approach designed to help you understand how food impacts your energy, digestion, recovery, and overall performance.
Rather than guessing which foods work for you, this process removes common inflammatory triggers first, then strategically reintroduces them so your body can give clear feedback. Join the January Coaching Community and I will guide you through the 6-Week Elimination Diet. Join Now!
Phase 1: Create a Clean Foundation
Phase 1 is all about simplifying. We temporarily remove common inflammatory foods and focus on clean, nutrient-dense meals that support digestion and recovery.
During this phase, most people experience:
Improved energy
Less bloating
Better digestion
More stable hunger cues
It’s not restrictive. It’s calming. You’re giving your body space to reset.
Phase 2: Reintroduce With Purpose
Once your system feels stable, we begin reintroducing foods strategically.
Instead of guessing, you observe:
How certain foods affect your energy
How your digestion responds
Whether certain ingredients support or disrupt your performance
This phase is about knowledge. You learn what works for you. Not what works for someone else on the internet.
Why This Works
Most people aren’t “sensitive to everything.” They’re just eating everything all the time. The elimination process gives clarity instead of confusion.
This isn’t a forever diet. It’s a learning phase that helps you build a sustainable, personalized way of eating that supports your lifestyle and training.
