MY WHOLE30 JOURNEY

Helping You Move Forward

  • My first Whole30 took place September 2016

  • I have performed 5 Whole30s since then

  • I have a mild form of a Degenerating Spine Disease

    • I took pain medication for years with little results of decreasing pain

  • I have yo-yoed with weight my entire life until my first Whole30, where I lost 16lb and have kept it off since

  • I had an Eating Disorder in college – the Whole30 program has rid my negative thoughts and relationship with food
