This week I want to introduce you to the Max Living Advanced Nutrition Plan. This nutrition plan is designed to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Restore cell membrane function in order to aid detoxification
- Regulate hormones
- Promote the use of fat as the body’s primary source of energy.
Those who want to lose weight, reduce the need for medications, or reverse illness need to be on the advanced plan. That being said it is not for everyone. Stay tuned for the core plan next week! We are here to support you at all times in the implementation of any of the 5 Essentials!!
