Mood Assessment

In the past 3 months, how often have you…

Found it hard to feel wide awake within 30 minutes after rising?

This can point to underfunctioning adrenal glands caused by toxicity in the body.

2-3 times a week

Needed a stimulant like coffee, tea, something sweet, or a cigarette to help wake you up in the morning?

This can point to sluggish adrenal glands and be exacerbated by regularly ingesting stimulants to boost energy.

Once a month

Felt tired or sluggish after eating a meal or during the day?

This can be an indicator that the digestive system is overworked and could use a break through cleansing. Also large portion sizes and an imbalance in blood sugar can play a part in this.

2-4 times a month

Craved something sweet or a stimulant after eating a meal?

Sugar cravings can be a sign that there is an imbalance in the gut bacteria such as candida.

4+ times a week

Felt irritable or faint if going 6 ours without eating something?

Difficulty fasting for slightly extended periods of time can signal a blood sugar imbalance.

2-3 times a week

Had a hard time concentrating or experienced mood swings?

Trouble focusing and mood swings can indicate that there is a blood sugar imbalance.

2-3 times a week

Craved sweet foods, dessert, chocolate, bread, cookies, cereal or pasta?

Craving carbohydrate rich foods can point to blood sugar imbalance. Cravings can also occur as a result of mental or emotional stress.

2-3 times a week

Had added sugars in your drinks (or added sugar yourself), in your drinks, or had sauces, gravy., or other foods with hidden sugars?

Frequently consuming added sugars can cause imbalance in blood sugar levels potentially leading to insulin resistance. Increased sugar intake also promotes fat storage and increases the likelihood of toxic build up in the body.

2-3 times a week

Consumed certain foods to prevent anxiety, help you relax, or help you cope with stressful situations?

Using food to cope with stress will often increase toxicity, which then leads to a decreased ability to cope with stress. Cleansing, as well as mindfulness, meditation, and regular exercise in place of food can help break this cycle.

2-4 times a month

Felt depressed, exhausted, or too tired to move your body or do physical activity?

This can be caused by many external factors. However, if an outside cause can’t be pinpointed, it’s often a sign that the body is having a difficult time ridding itself of toxicity.

Suffered from constipation?

Constipation can be the result of not getting enough water or high fiber foods in your diet; two things that will help flush toxicity from the body.

Burped, hiccuped, or passed gas persistently?

This can be a sign that your organs are struggling to neutralize toxicity levels in the body.

4+ times a week

Failed to have a bowel movement at least once a day?

Slow moving bowels can increase the likelihood of toxins in the stool being reabsorbed into the body before they are expelled. Increasing fiber intake and hydration as through cleansing can enhance regularity and decrease toxicity in the colon.
