Brave 3 Step Wellness Method - Holistic Health Balance

3 STEPS TO OPTIMAL WELLBEING

The Brave Method involves three key steps that help guide you towards achieving and maintaining your health and wellness ambitions. The benefits of The Brave Method include providing your body with key nutritional sustenance to help keep you on track, so you can confidently overcome any challenges, maintain your motivation and power through progress plateaus.

Step 1 – Choose your favourite wellness strategy

Step 2 – Set realistic goals to be achieved within doable timeframes

Step 3 – Enlist the support of our advanced nutrition formulas

1. CHOOSE A WELLNESS STRATEGY THAT SUITS YOU

Ancient + Brave products are formulated to provide seamless support while following any styles of healthy eating, intermittent fasting, time restricted eating and ketogenic diets created by lifestyle gurus such as Dr Michael Mosely (5:2), Dr Mercola (Ketogenic diet), David Zinczenko (16:8) and Dave Asprey (Bulletproof diet), just to mention a few.

Take your time and review the nutrition and lifestyle guidelines for these different wellness strategies and choose one that best suits your ability, food preferences, level of commitment and lifestyle balance. And if you’ve already developed your own unique wellness strategy which is working well, then you’re already one step ahead.

If this is your first awakening to wellness and you’re ready to embrace all the amazing benefits which could be achieved with intermittent fasting, but are a little confused as to which fasting strategy could be best for you, then our Brave Fasting Guidelines could be the right place to start.

2. SET YOUR GOALS AND REALISTIC TARGETS

There is normally a good reason why most of us start to consider our daily wellbeing and it’s these factors that drive our motivation for change. Your goals are likely formed from three wellness categories: reflecting imbalances or discomfort within your body, brain or beauty.

Body – a desire to improve physical health, energy, metabolism, fitness

Brain – a desire to improve mood, mindset, mental performance, sleep

Beauty – a desire to improve your appearance and offset signs of ageing

There are a few common wellness goals which fall within these three areas of wellness which may strike a chord with you:

Supporting metabolism
Improving energy and vitality
Reducing cravings and hunger pangs
Feeling fuller for longer
Improving focus and concentration
Building muscle tone and fitness
Addressing weight management
Better skin, nails and hair condition
Improving skin hydration
Building resilience to stress
Achieving a more stable mood
Hitting a longer fasting window
Fast-tracking into ketosis
Improved immune function
Avoiding vegan nutrient deficiencies

Once you’ve set some realistic goals The Brave Method is fully equipped to provide you with sustenance and support to help make your journey towards optimum wellbeing easier, smoother, more enjoyable and deliciously tasty!
