“Start Here” Step 1 - Decision Quiz (routes to lane + WOE tool)
Step 1 — Note your top 5 symptoms (in the last 30 days):
Digestive + Gut
- Bloating (especially after meals)
- Gas, burping, reflux/heartburn
- Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating
- Undigested food in stool
- Food reactions / “healthy foods” make me worse
- Chronic bad breath / coated tongue
- Frequent nausea or low appetite
- Anal itching at night / unexplained GI “weirdness”
Metabolic + Blood Sugar
- Energy crash 2–4 pm
- Cravings (especially sugar/carbs at night)
- “Hangry” / mood swings when meals are delayed
- Belly fat or weight won’t budge despite effort
- Can’t lose weight OR can’t gain weight easily
- Waking at night (1–3 am) / restless sleep
- Frequent urination / excessive thirst
- Brain fog after meals
- Skin tags / darkened skin folds / stubborn inflammation
Inflammation + Immune
- Joint pain, stiffness, body aches
- Headaches or migraines
- Skin issues (eczema, acne, psoriasis, rashes)
- Seasonal allergies / sinus congestion
- Autoimmune diagnosis or autoimmune “patterns”
- Swelling/puffiness, fluid retention
- Anxiety, irritability, or low mood that feels “inflammatory”
- Frequent infections or slow recovery
- Histamine-type reactions (hives, flushing, itchy skin, “random” flares)
Step 2 — Score your lanes
Count how many you experienced in each section:
- Gut score: ___
- Metabolic score: ___
- Inflammation score: ___
Your Primary Lane = highest score.Your Secondary Lane = second-highest score.
If it’s a tie:
- If digestive symptoms are intense → choose Gut as primary.
- If cravings/crashes/weight are dominant → choose Metabolic as primary.
- If pain/skin/autoimmune patterns dominate → choose Inflammation as primary.
Step 3 — Choose your Food Tool (Paleo vs Keto vs Carnivore/Animal-based)
Use your Primary Lane + the “tells” below.
If your Primary Lane is GUT BREAKDOWN:
Start with Paleo Reset (gut-calm version) if you have:
- Bloating, stool issues, reflux, food reactions, chronic GI symptoms
Consider a short therapeutic Carnivore/Animal-based trial (14–30 days) if:
- You react to many foods (especially plants/fiber)
- Autoimmune flares overlap with severe gut reactivity
- You need maximum simplicity to calm symptoms
Avoid jumping straight into high-fiber, high-fermentable plans if your gut is inflamed.
If your Primary Lane is METABOLIC GRIDLOCK
Start with Protein-first Paleo if you have:
- Cravings + crashes but you’re not ready for strict keto
- You need structure without intensity
Choose Keto (clean keto) 30–60 days if you have:
- Strong cravings, insulin resistance pattern, belly fat, PCOS tendencies
- Brain fog after meals
- You feel best with fewer carbs and steadier appetite
Choose Animal-based / meat-forward if:
- You do best on simplicity and appetite control
- You have gut sensitivity + metabolic issues together
If your Primary Lane is INFLAMMATORY FIRE
Start with Paleo Anti-inflammatory if:
- Joint pain, skin issues, headaches, autoimmune patterns are prominent
Consider Carnivore/Animal-based (therapeutic window) if:
- Autoimmune flare-ups are frequent/intense
- You have multiple food triggers and need immune calm quickly
Consider Keto if:
- Inflammation overlaps with metabolic symptoms (crashes, cravings, body comp resistance)
- Neurologic symptoms improve with lower carbs
Step 4 — Your starting path (write it down)
My primary lane: Gut / Metabolic / Inflammation
My secondary lane: Gut / Metabolic / Inflammation
My food tool (WOE/ Way of Eating) for the next 30 days: Paleo / Keto / Carnivore/Animal-based
My non-negotiables this month: (circle 3)
- Hydration + electrolytes
- Sleep window
- Morning sunlight
- 8–10k steps or daily walks
- Strength training 2–3x/week
- Stress/faith practice (prayer, journaling, breathwork)
If you do nothing else: Pick your lane → choose a food tool → follow Fuel → Repair → Restore.
