General Questions

  • Besides being able to have herbal teas, are we able to have decaffeinated green tea?
  • Can I do the Reset if I am a vegan / vegetarian / pescatarian?
  • Can I follow a more advanced diet (Paleo / AIP)?
  • Can I have dairy throughout the program?
  • Can I have decaf coffee?
  • Can I use frozen avocados? The fresh ones are quite expensive here.
  • Can we eat vegan cheese, gluten-free grains, nightshades, and eggs? I don't know if I'm sensitive to anything but gluten.
  • Can we snack on blueberries or raw almonds throughout the day?
  • Can we use baby purified water to make our homemade coconut or almond milk? It’s fluoride-free, but it has minerals. Also, what does guar gum mean and why is it bad for the thyroid? Also, what is the best way to clean organic vegetables?
  • Can you please explain why stainless steel pans are not recommended? I thought these were a safer option.
  • Does cacao butter have caffeine in it?
  • Does the diet permit homemade chai lattes? I don’t know why but I’ve been craving one. If so, would you please post an acceptable recipe? Thanks.
  • How do I heal my leaky gut so I can start adding back some of the foods I’ve eliminated? How do I know which ones I'm really sensitive to as opposed to reacting to everything because of my overactive immune response?
  • How long can bone broth be refrigerated, and can it be frozen?
  • How much of a role do lectins play as potential root causes of Hashimoto’s symptoms?
  • I am having a hard time finding organic Granny Smith apples. Should I get non-organic and peel maybe? Or get whatever organic apples I can that week?
  • I am sensitive to almost all foods in purple color except blueberries. Cannot even take purple sweet potatoes, but yellow sweet potatoes are fine. So I just want to know if there’s any missing piece contributing to this issue.
  • I do not eat gluten, dairy, and meat. I eat a lot of fish and seafood. I have a high level of mercury. Is it toxic mercury, or is it okay because it comes from fish?
  • I don't eat meat with the exception of fish, occasionally. Can I incorporate soy? I did an elimination diet before and tolerated tofu during the reintroduction. Is it best to limit soy?
  • I have a goiter, and I see that many foods in the recipe guide are goitrogenic. Can I eat them?
  • I have a latex allergy and I know there is a whole list of foods that mimic the latex antigens and can cross react with my latex antibodies. How do I know which ones I'm reacting to (if any)? What foods should I avoid?
  • I have a product that has cocoa and maca. Would that be ok to use for the maca latte?
  • I have an extremely high metabolism, which causes me to feel “hangry” most of the time due to the limited carbs on the Reset. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to implement the Reset due to the multitude of dietary restrictions I’m experiencing.
  • I have organic dandelion leaf & root tea. It’s caffeine-free. Will this be ok to drink?
  • I have read that radishes can affect the thyroid if not cooked. I didn't see them on the list of foods. Are they ok to eat, or should I avoid them altogether?
  • I have to travel for work during the last week of the Reset and will be staying at a hotel. What suggestions do you have for following the diet when eating at restaurants or trying to do the smoothies?
  • I know we can change up the smoothie, but do you have any other options for the green juice and the detox drink? I’m struggling with the taste everyday.
  • I love to roast veggies. I know it caramelizes them and makes them taste sweeter.
  • I noticed that you mentioned beets as an important element of detox, but it is not in any of the smoothies or the juice. Is it because beets have a lot of sugar?
  • I read that grapefruit can inhibit liver enzymes. Can it impair liver detoxification as well?
