Learn how to put type 2 diabetes into remission and restore the foundations of good health. Let me be your guide!
"There’s been a very well coordinated program by the doctor with thoroughness in checking into my blood chemistry and physiological makeup. I’m feeling myself again. At one time when I was getting medications from my regular doctor I was getting numbness and tingling in one of my legs from diabetic neuropathy. But since I’ve gone on this program and followed it, the numbness has gone away, my legs feel springier, I actually walk my dog and even started to jog a bit. And at one time I couldn’t cut my grass without taking a five minute break every ten minutes. Dr. Bletzinger’s program has been tremendous and I hope to continue the success that’s going. It’s been very successful and I appreciate the doctor’s help."

“Your body is always speaking to you. The problem is never a lack of effort, it is a lack of clarity. When you finally learn what your system needs, everything changes.”
Every year, millions of people start a new diet hoping this one will finally fix their fatigue, bloating, brain fog, or stubborn weight.
But here is the truth no diet book will tell you:
You can eat “healthy” and still feel awful if you are eating foods your body does not tolerate.
And most people have no idea what those foods even are, because traditional diets, macros-only plans, and generic detoxes do not identify your personal triggers.
The Reset and Rebuild Nutrition Program was created to finally solve this problem with a functional medicine strategy that combines personalized assessment, elimination and reintroduction, metabolic recalibration, and habit architecture into one complete system.
This blog is your deep-dive into how the program works and why the upcoming January through March recalibration period is the most powerful window of the year to transform your nutrition and energy.
You can eat “healthy” and still feel unwell if you are consuming foods your body does not tolerate.
The Reset and Rebuild Nutrition Program personalizes your nutrition using the Functional Health Assessment.
Elimination and reintroduction identify your actual food triggers and safe foods.
January through March is the most powerful window for metabolic and digestive recalibration.
The program creates long-term clarity, structure, and confidence in your nutrition strategy.
You can explore the full program overview here: https://resetrebuild.com/reset-rebuild-nutrition-program-151246
You cut out sugar.
You reduce processed foods.
You meal prep.
You track your macros.
And you still feel tired, inflamed, or inconsistent.
The reason is simple:
Your body has specific needs, tolerances, and thresholds that no generic plan can account for.
Two people can eat the same salad and experience two completely different responses. One feels energized, the other gets bloated for hours. Two people can drink coffee, and one feels sharp while the other feels anxious.
The only way to understand your personal food response is to evaluate the systems that determine how you break down, absorb, detoxify, and respond to food.
That is where Reset and Rebuild begins.
The program is built around a simple progression:
It is a functional medicine driven framework that helps you identify:
What fuels your body
What drains your body
How your digestive, metabolic, and detox systems respond
Which habits create stability
Which nutrition pattern will work for you long term
The goal is clarity, structure, and education instead of restriction or confusion.
The Functional Health Assessment (FHA) is the personalization engine of the entire system. Learn more about how the FHA works here
Rather than guessing, the FHA evaluates patterns across:
Gut function
Detoxification capacity
Blood sugar regulation
Hormones and stress response
Inflammation
Energy metabolism
Nutrient needs
Your symptom burdens reveal what your body is asking for. This determines:
How aggressive your elimination phase should be
Which foods you are most likely reacting to
Your ideal eating strategy in January
Whether intermittent fasting, portion control, gram tracking, or macro cycles match your physiology
Where to focus detox and metabolic support
This system removes guesswork and replaces it with clear direction.
With your FHA priorities in place, elimination becomes strategic rather than overwhelming.
Gluten
Dairy
Seed oils
Added sugars
Alcohol
Ultra processed foods
Before eliminating anything, we establish the Foundations:
Sleep rhythm
Hydration targets
Protein anchors
Light movement
Stress regulation
These foundations ensure your system responds well when foods are removed.
Symptom Log and Radar
Functional Health Assessment Priorities Sheet
Elimination Quickstart Guide
AI Agent personalization
This is where inflammation begins to settle and energy stabilizes.
This is the step most programs skip, and it is the reason people remain confused about their symptoms.
Reintroduction answers the question:
Which foods does your body tolerate, and which foods consistently create symptoms
Using a structured three-day reintroduction protocol, we track responses in:
Digestion
Energy and brain fog
Mood and stress
Joints and inflammation
Skin
From there, you build your Personal Food Map:
Your foundational, go-to foods.
Tolerated in moderation.
Consistent symptom offenders.
This is the clarity people have wanted for years.
Detoxification in this program is not about harsh cleanses or supplement overload. It is about supporting how your body naturally processes metabolic waste.
In this phase, you integrate:
Cruciferous vegetables
Soluble + insoluble fiber
Antioxidant-rich foods
Hydration strategy
Breathwork, sweating, light exposure
You are building internal capacity and long term resilience.
This 90 day window is where the most profound changes occur because everything aligns at the same time.
Lower inflammatory load, stabilize energy, reestablish circadian regulation.
Includes:
Reset menu
Hydration and movement routine
Daily symptom tracking
This phase teaches your metabolism how to shift between energy sources more efficiently.
You choose your primary lever:
Intermittent fasting
Portion strategy
Calorie or gram tracking
Macro periodization
This is not dieting. It is structured metabolic training.
By February and March, your system is calm, energy is steadier, and your digestion is more predictable.
This is when reintroduction becomes even clearer, and your long term blueprint is built.
Reset and Rebuild offers flexible frameworks to match different bodies and lifestyles.
Protein anchors for stable blood sugar
Fiber and fluid targets for digestion and detoxification
Macro rhythm for metabolic flexibility
Lever selection based on FHA results
These approaches create a sustainable nutrition pattern that lasts.
It addresses systems, not symptoms
It focuses on clarity, not restriction
It removes guesswork and teaches structure
It improves metabolic and digestive resilience
It creates a personalized roadmap rather than a list of rules
People do not fail diets. Diets fail people by ignoring individuality. Reset and Rebuild corrects this.
The goal for November and December is to build and maintain the minimums:
Consistent sleep
Hydration rhythm
Protein at each meal
Light daily movement
Label awareness
January is where everything shifts from practice to precision.
More program details and next steps are coming soon.
