A 14 day "blue zones" inspired reset that will challenge you to develop healthy habits that will support your long term health.
About this Event

The Blue Reset is a 14-day reset inspired by the blue zones. Vascular surgeon Maggie Arnold and health coach Colleen Ogilvie will provide guidance and resources to support healthy eating and living habits. Kick off 2025 by learning how to be your best self by making simple, intentional "tweaks" to your lifestyle.

The Blue Reset "starts with food" by emphasizing the consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes"—real food. A WFPB diet is associated with lower body weight and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and other chronic illnesses. We will tell you more about this during the reset!

January 1st - Janaury 14th, 2025.

Why should I do it?

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LONGER & WITH JOY: Learn what to eat and how to live to prolong the QUALITY of your life. If you can take a leap of faith and try our program for 14 days, you will be amazed by how good you feel.

IF YOU WANT IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SUPPORT IMPROVING YOUR HEALTH: Straightforward lifestyle changes ("tweaks") can improve your health. We will share life-changing information and resources online via the Nudge app, during our health presentation, workshop, and food for life class (nutrition, movement, mindset, relationships, and more).

IF YOU WANT TO KICK OFF A HEALTHY 2025 WITH FRIENDS: We strongly encourage you to sign up with a "team" - the price is discounted, and you and your friends can support each other during the positive challenges. If needed, Maggie and Colleen will be available daily to provide support, advice, and suggestions (meditations, exercise suggestions, recipes, "easy button" options, and more resources). When making health changes, laughing and keeping it light is helpful. Change is never easy, but positive change with a friend will be fun.

How do I sign up?

Registration will open on Nov. 15th.

We will encourage you to think deeply, intentionally, and purposefully about your health, future, and what is important to you. Pausing to reflect on where you are and where you want to be is a good practice that we rarely do. The dream of optimal health is only possible if you intentionally pursue it.
