🌿 7-Day Anti-Inflammatory Liver Reset for Autism Mums
Reclaim Your Energy, Reduce Inflammation & Feel Like Yourself Again — So You Can Show Up as the Calm, Confident Leader Your Family Needs
💛 Why This Reset Exists
My son's autism recovery journey didnt start with him...... It started with ME. Let me share the quick story.
Aairah my then several-month-old, was having terrible eczema. After exhausting doctors and creams, at my wits' end in suicidal depression from not being able to sleep, eating a full loaf of bread to self-soothe, at my 80 kg I took matters in my hands. From my research I found that undigested food leads to toxins that are transferred in the breastmilk, which could lead to pediatric neonatal eczeema.
Equipped with that, I searched for a diet to clean myself up. Enter the ELIMINATION DIET. After 3 weeks of that I was a NEW WOMAN! It was HARD for the first 11 days. After that it became easy, cravings gone down, kid less scratching and sleeping and I was ENERGETIC!! No longer needed Tim Hortons to keep me awake or KFC double cheese to fuel my day!
That inspired me to change the diet of my son. And the rest is history.
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, puffy, bloated, or emotionally drained — you’re not alone.
Autism mums are the most hardworking women on the planet, yet many silently struggle with low energy, brain fog, fluid retention, mood swings, and unexplained weight gain.
This isn’t “laziness” or “aging.” It’s often inflammation and liver overload — caused by chronic stress, disrupted sleep, emotional burnout, and hidden food triggers.
Before you can pour into your child or follow any healing protocol effectively, you must first refill your own cup.
That starts here — with a simple, structured 7-Day Anti-Inflammatory Liver Reset.
🔬 The Science Behind Your Fatigue
1. Chronic Inflammation Drains Energy
Inflammation raises cortisol and exhausts your mitochondria — the tiny “batteries” that power every cell.
Result: constant tiredness, brain fog, cravings, and low motivation even after rest.
2. The Gut–Liver Connection
When the liver is sluggish, it struggles to clear toxins, hormones, and stress metabolites. This leads to:
-
Puffiness & water retention
-
Hormonal imbalances (estrogen dominance)
-
Digestive discomfort and food sensitivities
Supporting your liver with the right foods and hydration helps you feel lighter, clearer, and calmer — fast.
3. Blood Sugar Instability = Energy Rollercoaster
Skipping meals or living on coffee and/or eating a whole loaf of white (wonder bread/ brioche bread IKR?) spikes and crashes blood sugar, making mood swings and exhaustion worse.
A protein-anchored, anti-inflammatory meal rhythm stabilizes cortisol and keeps your mind sharp.
(References: Egger et al., 2021; Müller et al., 2020; Koh et al., 2021; Holscher, 2017 — research on inflammation, liver–gut axis, and dietary modulation of energy metabolism.)
🌿 The Goal of This Reset
Not a super restrictive diet like ELIMINATION which was extremely hard to start with. This method is an easier take on elimination diet yet powerful enough to lower ur general inflammation and toxin load.
Not deprivation as you can season things, have a wide variety of foods. the Goal is to gently get you alighned on a change.
A change that will extrapolate & you can then go stricter or deeper as you wont be miserable!!
Just 7 days of clarity and nourishment to:
✅ Calm inflammation and fluid retention
✅ Support your liver and gut detox pathways
