Find your Terrain Reset starting point
Most chronic issues have different names. Underneath them, the body is often carrying too much, recovering too little, and dealing with too many things at once.
This quiz helps you see where to put your attention first, so the Reset feels less like guesswork.
The label tells you where to look first. The terrain tells you why it keeps needing your attention.
📋 How to Answer
- 0 always means lowest or none.
- 1 means moderate or sometimes.
- 2 means highest or most often.
Quick Safety Check
This assessment is for everyday symptoms that have been present for a while, not urgent medical situations.
What you selected needs medical attention first. Please speak with a doctor before starting the Reset.
Before You Begin
A few hormone questions are different depending on sex. This keeps those questions relevant to you.
Contact (for your records)
Optional, but helpful if you want to track results over time.
Cycle Check
This adjusts a few hormone questions to match your situation.
You'll find out which of these are your Focus Area/s
If more than one feels equally true, the quiz may return Mixed.
Final Checks (to personalize your starting rules)
These are not diagnoses. They are small checks that help keep Phase 1 appropriate for your body.
Autoimmune (clinician diagnosed or strongly suspected)
If autoimmune is part of your background, Deep Reset gives the body more time: 30 days, the same simple rules, and more room to see what helps.
Nightshades check (joint pain)
Do you experience joint pain, morning stiffness, or arthritis-type symptoms that affect your daily life?
SIBO / Low-FODMAP
Do foods like garlic, onion, lots of salad, or high-fiber "healthy bowls" make your bloating noticeably worse?
Histamine / Fresh Only
Do leftovers, aged foods (cheese, cured meats), wine, or fermented foods trigger symptoms quickly, such as headache, flushing, itching, anxiety, or a racing heart?
Pace First (nervous system)
This helps keep Phase 1 manageable for where your body is right now.
0 = Quick next-day recovery | 1 = Takes 1-2 days | 2 = Slow/several-day recovery
Bile and fat handling (quick check)
0 = No | 1 = Sometimes | 2 = Often
Environment sensitivity (optional)
Do you live or work in a damp or water-damaged building (musty smell counts), or do symptoms noticeably improve when you're away for 2+ days?
This does not change your food plan. It helps explain why things can stall even when you are doing everything right.

Carb Lanes (Starch Dial)
Your Carb Lane is a starting setting for your current terrain.
Carbs tend to trigger cravings, crashes, mood dips, or disrupted sleep.
Protein and cooked veg are the base. Carbs are minimal and always paired with protein and fat.
No strong pull toward more or less starch. This is the cleanest starting point.
Protein and cooked veg at every meal. One fist of starch at lunch and dinner. See how you run.
Your body runs better with more starch. Your answers confirm it.
Larger starch portions around activity, earlier in the day. If cravings or crashes appear, pull back to ◇ Balanced by reducing the starch portion at dinner first.
If you eat carbs, pair them with protein and fat. If you have cravings, crashes, or night waking after 7 days, move one lane lower. If you feel flat, cold, wired, or under‑recovered, move one lane higher.
Higher may fit you
Your answers point to flat, cold, or under-fed days. If you feel better with more starch, add 1/2 cup at dinner for 2-3 days, keep added fat modest, then reassess.
If low carb has ever made you feel colder, flatter, or sleep worse, start your starch at dinner and increase by 1/2 cup every 2-3 days if steadier.
