“Your blood type is a powerful genetic fingerprint that identifies you… When you use your blood type as a guidepost for eating and living, you will be healthier, you will naturally reach your ideal weight, and you will slow the process of aging”
Back in 2016 I made a decision that had a huge impact on my life. I decided to eat a completely vegan diet. What happened? My skin was clear, bloating was slim to none, my energy was radiant, and I literally lost 100 lbs ~ I was proudly pure vegan for 4 years straight!
This was me before and after going vegan in 2016-2019
Then 2020 hit and I completely fell off track. It was a huge shock 🤯
I shifted from being fully alive and vegan to eating meat again and way more processed foods. Not only that, but I was drinking more alcohol and basically neglected myself altogether. I know I’m not alone when I say 2020 not only disrupted my mental health but my physical health as well. I almost re-gained all the weight I had lost in those 4 years.
Slowly, but surely I’m succeeding now in re-focusing my life to revolve around optimal health and wellness.
My #1 focus is eating according to my blood type, which is Type A 🌿👩🏾🌾
Below, I’ve listed the Top 5 Wellness Tips that are optimal for each blood type based on the research from Dr. D’Adamo in his book 📚‘Eat Right for Your Type’.
I read this book while attaining my Degree in Holistic Nutrition and found it my best resource for determining what to eat to get my body back into balance and optimal health. I highly recommend going to your local clinic or doctor’s office to determine your specific blood type.
“When I started eating and living according to my blood type, a lot of discomforts went away in my body and my energy came back”
