The 28-Day Total Body Clean-Up Challenge is a guided reset, not a crash diet or a get skinny quick scheme.
It’s a four-week experiment.
Each week, we’ll test one shift in your eating and drinking habits so you can observe how your body responds. You will monitor your energy, digestion, cravings, mood, clarity. You’re not guessing. You’re gathering data.
We’re doing it in community because sovereignty isn’t solo.
Food sovereignty is about having power over what nourishes you, not just what’s available on the corner, not just what’s marketed to you, not just what’s cheap and convenient.
This challenge brings that conversation home, to your plate, your cup, and your body.
You ready?
The 4 Weekly Experiments
Week 1 :: Hydration Reset (No-Calorie Beverages Only)
For 7 days, we remove alcohol and sugar-sweetened drinks.
Water. Sparkling water. Unsweetened tea. Black coffee. That’s it.
This isn’t about being good. It’s about noticing:
How your energy shifts
How your sleep changes
What your cravings are actually tied to
Environmental Justice Lens:
Sugary drinks are aggressively marketed in Black communities. This week helps you step back and ask — what’s habit, and what’s influence?
We’re not judging. We’re observing.
Week 2 :: Add the Greens
For 7 days, add:
One green smoothie
Two servings of raw vegetables
No restriction. Just addition.
Environmental Justice Lens:
Access to fresh food isn’t equal. This week invites you to explore where your produce comes from and what options exist locally — farmers markets, community gardens, co-ops.
We build awareness without shame.
Week 3 :: Swap the “White Stuff”
For 7 days, experiment with reducing refined white sugar, white flour, and heavily processed grains.
We’re not banning carbs. We’re testing how your body feels with fewer ultra-processed inputs.
Environmental Justice Lens:
Processed foods are often the most accessible in historically disinvested neighborhoods. This week builds literacy around how industrial food systems show up in our kitchens.
This is data collection, not deprivation.
Week 4 :: Dairy Detox (Just for the Week)
For 7 days, remove dairy and see how your body responds.
Environmental Justice Lens:
Many adults are lactose intolerant, especially in Black and Brown communities, yet dairy is heavily normalized and subsidized in the U.S. food system.
This week is about bodily autonomy. Not everything that’s common is optimal for you.
What This Is Really About
By the end of 28 days, you’ll know:
What fuels you
What drains you

What’s marketing
What’s cultural
What’s actually aligned with your body
And from there, you get to choose what stays.
That’s sovereignty.

How This Connects to Food Sovereignty
Food sovereignty is the right to define our own food systems. That starts with:
Understanding what we consume
Questioning how marketing and policy shape our options
Supporting community-based food sources when possible
Building knowledge and skill around nourishment
When individuals shift habits collectively, community resilience strengthens. This challenge is a personal entry point into a broader movement.
