Don’t Wait—Start Today, Like I Always Do

So, you made a New Year’s resolution to get healthier, lose weight, or improve your skin—but maybe it didn’t go to plan. Perhaps January 1st has come and gone, and you’re already feeling off-track.

Let me tell you this—you don’t need a perfect date to start improving your health.

I’ve never understood waiting until Monday or next month to make a change. It’s just not how I work. Once I’ve decided on something, I get obsessed and go all in—immediately. No waiting, no excuses. And let me tell you—this approach works every time.

So why wait until next week? Start today. Start now.

I’m Elita Dabrowski—a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Functional Medicine Practitioner—and I’m here to guide you through a simple, science-backed reset focused on gut health, detox, and hormone balance to help you feel lighter, more energised, and ready to take on the year.

Whether you’re looking to lose belly fat, balance your hormones, or clear your skin, this reset will give your body the support it needs to detox naturally and start thriving.

Why New Year Resolutions Fail—and What Works Instead

Let’s face it—New Year’s resolutions sound great in theory, but for most people, they simply don’t last. Studies show that 80% of resolutions fail by February, leaving many feeling frustrated and defeated. So why does this happen?

The problem often lies in the approach. Many resolutions are too extreme, pushing people to overhaul their diets overnight or cut out entire food groups, which quickly leads to restriction and burnout. Others lack structure, focusing solely on big outcomes—like losing 10 kilos—without outlining the small, actionable steps needed to make that goal achievable. On top of that, most people rely heavily on motivation, which is fleeting and can fade as soon as life gets busy or results aren’t immediate. Worst of all, many fall into the trap of delaying action—waiting for the perfect Monday or the start of a new month to commit, leaving them stuck in a cycle of procrastination.

The solution? Stop chasing quick fixes and focus instead on systems, habits, and consistency. Small, daily actions create lasting change—not massive, unsustainable overhauls. And most importantly, don’t wait for the “perfect time.” The perfect time is now. Start today, and let momentum carry you forward.

 

Step 1: Detox Smart for New Year Resolution—Support Your Liver Daily

When people hear the word detox, they often picture juice cleanses or extreme fasting plans—but that’s not what real detoxification is about. Your body, particularly your liver, is already designed to detox naturally every single day. The problem is, modern diets, stress, and environmental toxins can overburden this process, leaving your liver working overtime. Instead of starving yourself or following extreme trends, smart detoxing means nourishing your body with the right nutrients and habits to help it function optimally.

Simple Detox Tips That Work to achieve New Years Resolution:

• Start your morning with lemon water. This simple habit supports digestion and stimulates your liver to produce bile, which aids in the breakdown of fats and helps eliminate toxins. Lemon water also provides a quick boost of Vitamin C, which is essential for antioxidant protection and collagen production.
• Drink dandelion tea. Dandelion is widely regarded as a gentle liver tonic, promoting the production and flow of bile, which naturally flushes toxins from the liver. It’s also rich in antioxidants that combat inflammation and oxidative stress.
• Eat bitter greens like rocket. Starting your meals with bitter greens stimulates digestive enzymes and bile production, easing digestion and reducing bloating. Bitter foods like rocket (arugula), endive, and radicchio also support fat metabolism, making them ideal for a balanced diet.
• Add turmeric and globe artichoke to meals. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory that protects liver cells and boosts glutathione levels, the body’s master antioxidant. Globe artichoke not only supports liver function but also enhances bile flow, aiding digestion and fat metabolism while reducing inflammation.

Pro Tip: Detoxing Isn’t Deprivation—It’s Nourishment.

Forget the mindset of deprivation when it comes to detoxing. True detoxification isn’t about punishing your body; it’s about nourishing it so it can do its job more effectively. Think of detox as giving your liver the tools it needs—through hydration, nutrient-rich foods, and gentle herbal support—to function at its best.

When your liver is supported, your skin glows, your energy increases, and your hormones stay balanced. Detox isn’t just about “cleansing” your body—it’s about creating a healthy foundation for long-term vitality.

Step 2: Gut Health for New Year Resolution—The Foundation of Energy and Skin

Your gut health isn’t just about digestion—it’s the foundation for nearly every aspect of your well-being. From energy levels and mood to hormone balance and skin clarity, the gut plays a central role in how you feel and look every day. A healthy gut promotes nutrient absorption, immune function, and even collagen production, which keeps your skin glowing and elastic.

But when your gut is imbalanced, it can lead to digestive discomfort, fatigue, brain fog, and skin problems like acne, eczema, or dryness. If you’ve started reacting to foods you used to tolerate—like fermented vegetables, bone broth, or dairy—it’s often a sign that your gut may need a reset to calm inflammation and rebuild a healthy microbiome.

Gut Health Tips That Work:

• Follow a Low-Histamine Diet:
  If fermented foods like sauerkraut or kimchi trigger bloating, skin flare-ups, or headaches, you may be dealing with histamine intolerance caused by a compromised gut lining. Switch to a low-histamine diet while allowing your gut to heal, focusing on fresh, unprocessed foods and avoiding aged cheeses, cured meats, and vinegars. This isn’t forever—just until your gut becomes stronger, so you only cut foods while you are doing gut healing.
• Add Prebiotics and Fibre:
  Think of prebiotics as food for good bacteria. They fuel the growth of beneficial microbes that keep your gut balanced. Include asparagus, garlic, onions, and leafy greens in your meals to feed your microbiome and support a healthy digestive environment. Fibre also acts as a cleanser, keeping waste moving through your system and preventing toxins from accumulating.
• Hydrate for Gut Support:
  Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps keep your digestive system moving, reducing constipation and bloating. Add a pinch of Celtic sea salt to your water for electrolyte balance if you struggle with low energy levels.
• Incorporate Bone Broth Strategically:
  While bone broth is rich in collagen and gut-healing nutrients, it can sometimes trigger histamine reactions if your gut is inflamed. Consider switching to meat stock initially, which is gentler on digestion, before moving back to bone broth once your gut heals.

Why Gut Health Impacts Skin and Hormones:

Your gut lining acts like a barrier, preventing toxins and undigested food particles from leaking into your bloodstream. When this barrier becomes compromised (often called leaky gut), it triggers inflammation throughout your body—showing up as hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and skin issues like acne, dryness, or eczema.

By repairing your gut, you’re not only improving digestion but also calming inflammation, balancing hormones, and giving your skin the nutrients it needs to heal and glow naturally. A healthy gut isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about unlocking energy, supporting hormone balance, and transforming your skin from the inside out.

 

Step 3: Hormone Balance —Stop Sabotaging Your Energy

Hormones control energy, metabolism, and skin repair—but endocrine disruptors in your environment throw them off balance.

Endocrine Disruptors to Avoid:

• Non-stick pans and plastic cookware. Switch to ceramic or stainless steel.
• Plastic water bottles. Use glass or stainless steel to reduce exposure.
• Artificial fragrances. Opt for natural products to limit hormone disruption.

Foods That Balance Hormones:

• Zinc-rich foods: Pumpkin seeds, oysters, and lentils.
• Magnesium sources: Dark leafy greens, almonds, and avocado.
• Omega-3s: Fatty fish, chia seeds, and walnuts.

Pro Tip: Balanced hormones = better skin, energy, and metabolism.

Step 4: Skin Health—Support It Inside and Out

Your skin health is a reflection of your gut and hormone balance.

But detoxing alone won’t fix chronic skin conditions—especially eczema or dryness.

This is where Biostem Skin Cream comes in.

Why Biostem?

• Hydration: With hyaluronic acid and aloe vera for deep moisture.
• Barrier Support: Zinc oxide and gotu kola protect and restore skin elasticity.
• Versatility: Ideal for post-surgery care, dry skin, and eczema-prone skin.

Pro Tip: Biostem complements your internal health efforts—because healing happens inside and out.

Step 5: Make a New Year Resolution to Avoid Self-Prescribing Supplements

Magnesium and zinc can boost energy, but taking them without testing can throw your body out of balance.

Better Approach:

• Focus on food sources first—spinach, almonds, and seeds.
• Work with a natural health practitioner for testing before supplementing.
