Week 8 · Letting the work settle
Integration Week
Halfway through the programme, we pause adding new protocols. This week is about integration — letting the practices you've built become natural, and noticing how far you've come.
This week's lessons
1
Why integration matters
Your body needs space to respond to the changes you've made. Constant new inputs can overwhelm your system as much as neglect. This week we consolidate rather than advance.
2
The mid-point assessment
Re-take your symptom assessment from Week 1. Compare. Most members are surprised by how much has shifted — changes that happened so gradually they didn't notice. This data matters for the second half of the programme.
3
Simplifying your protocol
If any practice has felt forced or unsustainable, this is the week to adjust it. Better to do three things consistently than ten things reluctantly. Sustainable beats heroic.
Your practices
Do these daily
Continue your established practices
Morning light, daily movement, wind-down, bone broth — maintain without adding anything new.

“What's changed since Week 1 that you didn't notice until now?”
“Which practices have become natural? Which still feel forced?”
