the 10 steps
When I adhere to the 10 steps of the Total Health Makeover I really feel fabulous - like I'm finally feeding and treating my body the way that God intended for me to take care of it.   ~ Ann S., member

Marilu Henner summarized what she learned about a healthy lifestyle in the 10 Steps of the Total Health Makeover® – buy it now!. Following the 10 Steps will give you Balance, Energy, Stamina, and make you Toxin-free – you'll be your B.E.S.T. with THM! As your body becomes healthy, you'll even lose weight! (Check out the free tools at the bottom of this page!)

You can follow the 10 Steps of THM even if you have health challenges, like diabetes or gluten intolerance. THM is the perfect plan if you have a food or dairy allergy. You can lower your cholesterol levels, too!

1. Watch for chemicals in the foods you eat.
Additives and preservatives can be harmful. Read the labels and learn what's in your food. Eat more natural and organic foods. learn more »

2. Cut back on - and try to cut out - caffeine and nicotine.
These are drugs that keep your body from being healthy. You'll feel better with decaf – or water! learn more »

3. Replace processed sugar with natural alternatives.
Use natural sugars - fruit, maple syrup, raw honey, blackstrap molasses and other natural sweeteners. Avoid chemical sweeteners. learn more »

4. Limit - or eliminate - red meat.
Avoid the drugs and hormones given to livestock, and the unhealthy saturated fats from
red meat. Select organic, vegetarian-fed, free-range poultry and ocean fish instead.

5. Avoid dairy products (anything made from the milk of another animal).
Like meat, cow's milk is filled with drugs and hormones (and worse). Cow's milk is meant for a baby cow, not a human. learn more »

6. Combine your foods for efficient digestion.
You’ll have more energy eating fruits, animal proteins, and starches separately. It's easy to have fruit for breakfast, protein and vegetables for lunch, and whole grains and vegetables for dinner.learn more »

7. Reduce the fats you eat.
Fats from natural, whole foods (like fish, nuts and vegetables) are good for you. Avoid saturated and trans fats. learn more »

8. Exercise daily.
Break a sweat for at least 10 minutes a day. Exercise helps with weight loss and general well being. Make it fun! learn more »

9. Get enough sleep.
Regular sleep restores your energy by giving cells time to repair. Sleep helps the other nine steps work even better. learn more »

10. Do everything with Gusto!
Gusto is an enthusiasm for life and a positive attitude about yourself. When you've got it, life is good. learn more »
