Chapter 1: Introduction

This chapter introduces the BioFit-360 program, explaining its mission to help people reset their metabolism for better health. The goal is to restore the body's natural biochemical balance, which can lead to weight loss, disease prevention, and overall wellness. The BioFit-360 metabolic reset is defined as a process that realigns the body’s metabolic pathways through fasting, shifting energy use from glucose to fat, and initiating healing. This reset enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces inflammation, and promotes detoxification and autophagy (the clearing of damaged cells). It is not about maintaining prolonged ketosis but is an initial phase designed to recalibrate the body's metabolism for long-term health benefits. The program is educational, encouraging informed lifestyle changes with health outcomes that may vary by individual.

 

Chapter 2: BioFit’s 8 Principles of Health & Wellness
