Here’s what you get...
-
We will meet in person (or via zoom if you choose virtual option). This is where we dive in deep on where you're at in your progress, why you may be getting stuck, and how to approach the coming week. The session is recorded so you can watch it later if you miss the live session. Four sessions for Reset program only, 8 sessions for Reset + Integrate program.
-
Each session includes an hour-long cooking session where you will learn tricks to be efficient and prepare delicious and healthy meals quickly
-
One of the popular aspects of this program is that I incorporate science when I describe each topic. I keep in touch with the recent research and synthesize the findings into actionable plans for you.
-
If you have to miss any live meetings, no worries. Everything will be recorded so you can catch up on your own time, and you can always have your questions answered!
-
You will have access to a member-only website where you can the lectures, live meeting recordings, cooking videos and download the recipe book, shopping list & resources. Reset only participants will have access to this site for 3 months, Reset + Integrate participants will have access until the end of the year
-
Previous participants all say that they could not have gone through this kind of transformation without the support from a group of people who are going through the journey together. Our group is very active, supportive and inspirational! Many people develop new friendships from the group that continue long after the program has ended.
-
We will gather at my house for a potluck dinner during the Reset phase. This has been a highlight for many previous participants. We will share recipes, enjoy delicious meals while debriefing the amazing progress you have made during the program. You’ll love connecting to the community of like-minded people!
Who’s leading the program?
Hi, I’m Ai!
I help busy women in midlife feel stronger, clearer, and more resilient as they age—without extremes. My approach blends evidence-based science (I’m an epidemiologist with a PhD from Columbia University and two decades studying nutrition and cancer) with practical lifestyle coaching and mindfulness (20+ years teaching yoga).
With so much confusing health advice out there, I cut through the noise and turn solid evidence into clear, actionable plans tailored to you.
I also love teaching cooking, and past participants say the Cook Labs are a highlight. As a working mom, I respect real-life time constraints, so we keep things simple, delicious, and family-friendly. You’ll learn to meal-plan and prepare protein- and antioxidant-rich, hearty meals quickly and confidently.
I live in Berkeley, California with my husband, Mark, our daughter Rubi, and our furry trio (cats Jasper and Ash, and Layla the dog). When I’m not working, teaching or cheering at volleyball, you’ll find me cooking, baking, gardening, running, hiking, or planning the next adventure.
“The Mind-Body reset was a terrific way to get myself back on a healthy track after falling off during the pandemic.”

Frequently asked questions
-
Everyone has different ‘needs’ with coffee. Although I encourage everyone to experiment with caffeine reduction because it is often the biggest cause of fatigue, if you must stick to your coffee, you are more than welcome to. There will be a lot of other great things you will do to your body so you will still benefit from the program!
-
Yes, it is absolutely vegetarian or vegan friendly. I do not make you eat any animal products as a part of the program. However, if you love animal protein, you can consume certain kinds during the reset.
-
No. This reset is based on whole foods, there are no supplements you’ll need to take. Our program is based on the fact that our body has a natural healing capacity, and by removing toxins we can reset our systems to function optimally.
-
Previous participants were often surprised by how well they eat little during the program. You’re encouraged you eat whenever you are hungry, and there are no calorie restrictions. In fact, most people say that they ate more than usual yet ended up losing weight!
-
Although this is more of a lifestyle shifting program than a weight-loss program, almost all participants end up losing weight– and keeping it off. You’ll find a dietary pattern that improves the natural function of your internal organs. There will be less fluid retention, bloatedness, or constipation, leading to lightness. In addition, you will become much more mindful about what you put in your body. Many previous participants were surprised by how easy it was for them to shed the pounds that they couldn’t get rid of for many years.
-
Yes. The Mind-Body Reset is not a calorie-restricting extreme diet program, so there should not be risks during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, please make sure to let me know that you are either pregnant or breastfeeding so that I can provide appropriate guidance according to your condition. You will need to maintain enough protein and fat to keep the baby growing inside or outside! Your baby will be happy to have a mom with a healthier body and mind.
-
Given the busy lives we all have, I don’t expect that everyone is available for all the live sessions. If you are enrolled in the virtual plan, you can watch the video any time after the recording has been posted. If you are signing up for the In-Person plan, I expect that you attend at least 2-3 sessions since the space is very limited and priorities will be given to those who can commit to attend the live sessions.
-
If you live with someone, I highly encourage you to participate together. Previous participants report greater ease and success when their significant other also followed the reset during the four-week period. Some couples also experience stronger and more compassionate relationships after they walked the journey together. Even two people can create a sense of community. By encouraging each other, helping to plan meals, and cooking together, you can make the journey much more fun and feasible than if you’re fighting against the temptations of someone eating or drinking things you’re avoiding.
-
If you live in the Bay Area, I collaborate with wonderful chefs who will create a reset-friendly meal package for you to purchase (optional for those who do not want to cook all the meals). For those who live elsewhere, we will come up with strategies for you to find clean pre-made foods that are available in your area.
-
Not at all! For most previous participants, learning to cook healthy and delicious meals quickly was the highlight of attending this program! You'll find how-to videos and a vast library of easy-to-make recipes to guide you through the process of establishing your new cooking and eating habits. I will also teach busy people how to prepare meals in advance so you can have a stress-free weekday meals, including lunch.
-
Absolutely. This is a comprehensive life transformation, even though it sounds like we’re only doing dietary modification. We will talk about diet, but we'll also dive into other important aspects of life such as stress, sleep, environment, and self-care. It is amazing how often we fail to realize that everything is interrelated. A shift in one aspect can create a rippling effect to the rest of our lives. You'll become much more mindful about everything you do, thereby becoming a more kind, compassionate person to yourself and others.
