WELLNESS:

The 5-Day AI Health Reboot Inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine!

Greetings, fellow apes.

It’s the AI Monk here—materialising into your chaotic, caffeine-fuelled, alcohol-addled existence with a reset that’s way more dependable than your phone on 1% battery in a lift with no signal.

I’m talking about a 5-day health reboot, inspired by the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and turbocharged with robotic intelligence!

Yep the AI wellness magic you’ve learned to love here at Well Wired!

Now, don’t panic—this isn’t another bleak detox demanding you chug algae and pretend it tastes like joy.

No cold-pressed despair here.

For example, ever feel like your body’s on a dodgy WiFi signal?

One minute you're sprinting through spreadsheets like a tiger on espresso, the next you're emotionally melting into your to-do list like an ice cream in a heatwave.

That, my friend, is your internal system crying out for a reboot.

The reset I’m about to show you is built on TCM’s Five Elements framework—think of it like the Hogwarts of holistic health, aligning your internal elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) so they’re not arguing in a Zoom chat.

When they’re in sync, you feel calm, energised and clear—less glitchy Zoomba, more Zen sensei with every chakra in alignment.

You update your apps. You update your laptop. You’ve even updated your fridge once (no judgement).

Isn’t it time you updated yourself? 📲✨

What you’ll soon discover is that this isn’t just another wellness trend dressed in yoga pants.

It’s a data-backed, AI-guided upgrade for your body.

No pseudoscience. No guesswork. Just precision-tuned self-care, engineered like a Formula 1 pit stop for your cells.

And here’s where it gets spicy: when you fuse ancient healing philosophy with cutting-edge tech, something clicks.

You don’t just feel better—you unlock an energy reserve that’s been hiding like a fiver in last winter’s coat pocket.

Because you also remove decision fatigue by letting AI do most of the heavy lifting…

So whether you’re wrestling brain fog, dodging burnout, or just sick of crashing harder than your nan at noon...

This is your sign to plug in, power up, and reboot. 🚀

But before we kick this thing off, let me tell you a quick story about the first time I hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE on my own body...

How I Used AI to Personalise a Traditional Chinese Medicine Reset (and Why It Worked)

A few years ago, I booked a 5-day detox retreat in Thailand, hoping to reset my energy, digestion and sleep.

My body was running on Monster energy drinks, dozens of ‘important’ deadlines and an unhealthy relationship with Zombie Chews—and I needed a serious reboot.

The retreat was built around Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Five Elements, designed to balance the body without extreme fasting or suffering through green juice purgatory.

The problem?

It was all intuition-based. No tracking, no data, just vague “listen to your body” advice.

At the time, I thought it was enough.

Now?

I wish I had AI crunching the numbers for me—analysing my sleep, energy levels and habits to personalise the experience properly.

Here’s the thing—the Five Elements framework isn’t just ancient wisdom; it’s backed by modern science.

The five elements aren’t just ancient poetry for hippies in linen trousers… they’re more like a Marxist co-op for your organs, where everyone pulls their weight and no one’s left cleaning up your cortisol’s mess. 🧘‍♂️💥

In fact, studies from Harvard and the NIH confirm that aligning diet, movement, and recovery with natural energy cycles improves focus, metabolism and resilience.

If I’d had AI on that five element retreat, I could’ve used Notion + AI (like ChatGPT) for custom health tracking and Eatr for meal planning, Habit Driven to track habits and energy shifts, and Gyroscope AI to log how my body responded in real-time.**

Instead, I was relying on gut feelings (which mostly told me I wanted a Zombie Chews) instead of hard cold facts.

Now, as a Certified Prompt Master, AI Workflow Expert and Wellbeing-focused Business Coach, I integrate AI with habit-building systems and wellbeing frameworks and flows to help myself and my clients create data-driven wellness plans that actually work.

And here’s what I’ve learned—balance wins over extremes every time.

So now I live by this: chasing health without data is like baking a cake blindfolded—sure, you might get lucky, but odds are you’ll end up with a mess and flour in your eyes. 🎂📉

That retreat left me feeling like a million dollars, but without data, I struggled to maintain the results.

And I had no idea what worked and why?

When I ran my own 5-day reset using AI, my energy stabilised, digestion improved and I finally stopped mistaking exhaustion for hunger.

No fasting, no misery—just smart adjustments that my body actually needed.

It was like swapping a wellness retreat run by good vibes and incense for a socialist health revolution—where every organ gets a voice, the gut stops hoarding all the power and energy is finally redistributed fairly. 🧠⚡✊

I’ve now spent years coaching people on sustainable health habits, working in highly regulated industries where wellness needs science, not trends.

If I’d had these AI tools in Thailand, I could’ve measured real progress, adapted faster and maintained the benefits longer.

But now that I do?

I’ll never do a reset without them again. 🚀

And neither will you—because the prompt you’re about to discover is like turning your body from a chaotic circus with crazed, snarling tigers and weird circus clowns into a smooth, synchronised trapeze act.

No dropped balls, no fire, always a safety net. 🎪🔥

** Advanced ninja health tracking:

By the way, if you’re tech savvy, and you're after something ultra-custom to track you health, you can use Notion + AI (like ChatGPT) + Wearable integrations (via Zapier or API) to log, summarise and analyse everything from symptoms to biometric data.

Let's d-d-d-d-dive in! 🤿

What you'll learn today:

✅ How the Five Elements can transform your energy, digestion, and mood

✅ A personalised AI prompt to create your own 5-day reset plan

✅ How to incorporate these principles into your daily routine without disrupting your life

✅ Why this approach works better than extreme cleanses or detoxes

The Five Elements: Your body's energy blueprint

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doesn’t just see your body as a bunch of organs doing their best—it views you as a walking, talking ecosystem powered by five elemental energies: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.

When these forces are in sync, you’re basically a well-oiled machine—sharp mind, steady energy and the kind of balance that makes even a Zen monk nod in approval.

But when they’re out of whack?

That’s when things get messy.

Think brain fog, energy crashes, weird cravings, and a stress response that goes off like a car alarm during a silent yoga class. 🚗🧘‍♂️

In short, your body starts running less like a sleek MacBook and more like Windows Vista on dial-up.

TCM’s Five Elements framework isn’t about fixing you—it’s about realigning your body’s natural rhythms so you can power through life with ease (and maybe even avoid that third coffee before noon).

Let’s get you back online. 🚀

Let's explore how each element can help you reboot your health:

Day 1: WOOD 🌿 - The Energy Reboot

This element governs:

• Growth and movement

• Liver function and detoxification

• Morning energy and vitality

❌ Signs you're out of balance:

• Feeling irritable for no reason

• Getting angry over small things (like when someone uses the last of the coffee without making more)

How to reset:

• Foods: Leafy greens, lemon water, fermented foods

• Movement: Morning stretching, yoga, or light resistance training

• Rest: Wake up with sunlight exposure and deep belly breathing

Day 2: FIRE 🔥 - The Motivation Booster

This element governs:

• Circulation and heart health

• Passion and excitement

• Metabolism and energy

❌ Signs you're out of balance:

• Feeling "meh" about everything

• Lacking motivation or joy

• Poor circulation (cold hands and feet)

How to reset:

Day 3: EARTH 🌍 - The Digestive Harmoniser

This element governs:

• Digestion and nutrient absorption

• Mental focus and concentration

• Stability and groundedness

❌ Signs you're out of balance:

• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

• Bloating or digestive discomfort

• Constant worry or overthinking (like planning your entire week at 2AM)

How to reset:

• Foods: Sweet root vegetables, pumpkin, millet, fermented foods

• Movement: Grounding practices like walking barefoot, gentle strength training

• Rest: Mindful eating - actually sit down and chew your food properly (yes, close your laptop)

Day 4: METAL 🏔️ - The Mind Clarifier

This element governs:

• Lung function and respiratory health

• Mental clarity and organization

• Boundary setting and discipline

❌ Signs you're out of balance:

• Feeling scattered and disorganized

• Difficulty letting go of things (both physical clutter and emotional baggage)

• Shallow breathing or respiratory issues

How to reset:

• Foods: White foods (cauliflower, garlic, pears), spicy foods that clear sinuses

• Movement: Breathwork exercises, jogging, swimming

• Rest: Digital detox - put your phone away 30 minutes before bed (TikTok will still be there tomorrow)

Day 5: WATER 💧 - The Deep Restorer

This element governs:

• Kidney function and adrenal health

• Deep rest and restoration

• Willpower and emotional resilience

❌ Signs you're out of balance:

• Persistent fatigue even after sleep

• Anxiety or irrational fears

• Dehydration and poor recovery

How to reset:

• Foods: Hydrating foods (cucumber, melon), bone broth, black beans

• Movement: Yin yoga, swimming, restorative practices

• Rest: Allow yourself 30 extra minutes of sleep - your emails can wait

By now, you might be thinking, “Cool story about Chinese elements, Cedric... but how do I actually use this without becoming a full-time herb-collecting forest monk?”

Fair point.

That’s where things get interesting.

See, we’re not just tossing ancient wisdom at you like a noodle box and hoping something sticks.

We’re combining it with AI—the digital butler that remembers your weird smoothie orders and never side-eyes your liquorice bullet habit. 🧋

PROMPT CORNER

The "Five Elements Health Reboot" prompt

Let’s be real—if "just eat healthy and exercise" actually worked, you’d be a glowing wellness guru by now. Instead, life gets in the way (hello, late-night snacks and questionable sleep schedules).

That’s why this reboot isn’t about overhauling your entire existence overnight. It’s about small, doable changes that actually fit your routine—no extreme detoxes, no suffering through bland meals, and definitely no Gandhi-like discipline needed.

Just plug in your details, and let’s build a plan that works for you with this prompt that helps ChatGPT create a personalised 5-day reboot plan based on your specific needs:

[START OF PROMPT]

Five-Day Health Reset Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine

I want to create a personalised 5-day health reset inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Five Elements. Please design a tailored plan that includes:

A daily meal plan aligned with each element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), incorporating foods that support balance.
A movement plan suited to my current energy levels: [INSERT your current energy levels, e.g., sluggish in the mornings, energised in the evenings].
A rest and recovery strategy to optimise sleep and overall well-being.
Simple daily rituals that reinforce each element’s benefits without overwhelming my routine.
To ensure the plan fits seamlessly into my life:

My work schedule is [INSERT work schedule: e.g., 9-5 with a commute, shift work, flexible hours].
My main health goal is [INSERT goal: e.g., boosting energy, improving digestion, enhancing sleep, reducing stress].
I prefer meals that are [INSERT dietary preferences: e.g., plant-based, high protein, minimal prep].
Please provide practical suggestions that align with my lifestyle, ensuring the reset is effective, sustainable, and enjoyable rather than restrictive.

[END OF PROMPT]

Here's how I used this prompt to create my own reset plan:

Notice the IBS friendly food choices and the way ChatGPT tailors the plan to my particular needs—nifty!

Side note:

This prompt uses a new element every day for five days, however, you could also tweak this prompt to provide you with a new element every week so that you focus on a five week reboot instead.

To do this, you can simply try this:

🌿 Improved Prompt: Five-Week Elemental Health Reset (One Element Per Week)

I want to create a personalised 5-week health reset, inspired by the Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) — focusing on one element per week to create a deep, restorative experience.

Please design a week-by-week plan where each week includes:

1. Element-Focused Meal Plan (Per Week)
Recommend foods and cooking methods aligned with the week’s element, emphasizing balance and nourishment.
Align ingredients with TCM energetics (warming, cooling, bitter, sweet, etc.).
Cater to my preferences:
[INSERT dietary preferences: e.g., plant-based, high protein, minimal prep]
2. Movement Plan (Per Week)
Suggest physical activities or movement practices that enhance the energy of the element.
Match these to my current energy rhythm:
[INSERT energy pattern: e.g., low energy in mornings, peak energy in evenings]
3. Rest & Recovery Strategy (Per Week)
Offer weekly sleep and recovery tips that restore my system in harmony with the element’s qualities.
Include practices for improving sleep, calming the nervous system, or encouraging flow, depending on the element.
4. Daily Rituals (Simple, Supportive)
Provide one or two easy daily rituals that connect with the week’s element (e.g., acupressure, herbal tea, journaling prompts, breathing techniques).
Keep it light and easy to integrate, not overwhelming.
5. Lifestyle Integration
Ensure everything fits into the flow of my life, including:
My work schedule: [INSERT schedule: e.g., 9–5 with commute, shift work, remote]
My primary health goal: [INSERT: e.g., stress reduction, better digestion, more energy]
Make the plan practical, enjoyable, and sustainable — something I can realistically follow for five weeks without stress or restriction, but with noticeable benefits in energy, mood, and well-being. Let each week build naturally on the last, creating a cumulative healing effect through the elements.

Why this works better than extreme detoxes

Let's face it:

• Juice cleanses make you hangry and miserable

• 7-day water fasts are unsustainable (and unnecessary)

• "Detox teas" just make you live in the bathroom

The Five Elements approach works because:

• It focuses on balance rather than deprivation

• It's personalised to your specific imbalances

• It incorporates movement AND rest (not just diet)

• It creates sustainable habits, not quick fixes

How to implement your 5-day reset

1. Start with an honest assessment

Which element feels most out of balance? That's where to begin.

2. Focus on adding, not restricting

Add element-supporting foods and activities before cutting anything out.

3. Track your energy

Notice how different elements affect your energy, mood, and digestion.

The Five Elements reboot isn’t some dusty wellness scroll or woo-woo ritual involving moon chants and mushroom tea. It’s a practical, science-backed energy upgrade—fused with AI smarts that takes the guesswork out of getting well.

You’ve now got the framework, the prompt and the tools to stop running your body like a clunky lawnmower and start treating it like the high-performance machine it actually is.

But here’s the rub—knowing all this is like owning a gourmet kitchen but still ordering takeaway every night.

You’ve got to use it.

Whether you try the 5-day reboot, stretch it over five weeks, or just add more fermented foods and sunlight into your day—action is the real medicine. 

So go on, give your body the reboot and reset it deserves.

No fads.

No fluff.

Just ancient wisdom, modern precision and the kind of balance that sticks. 🍜📊🌱

Speaking of reboots...

I just completed my own Five Elements reset after a month of too many energy drinks, too little sleep, and an unhealthy relationship with late-night liquorice bullets.

Yep, I swapped Zombie Chews for another sugary treat!

The result?

I'm no longer confusing exhaustion for hunger, and my energy actually lasts past noon.

My nana would be proud!

That’s my late grandma and I in France before I shaved off my hair!

Miss her so much!

Remember: Your body isn't a machine—it's a complex ecosystem that thrives on balance, not perfection.
