• whole, unprocessed food

The Whole30 program seeks to eliminate specific food groups for 30 consecutive days that increase blood sugar levels or may cause inflammatory effects to the gut. By creating new habits and not allowing sneaky cheat days, staying the course will change your relationship with food. You may even see and feel changes in your mind and body.
