The Whole 30

Welcome to a month-long experiment in radically improving your life through dietary change. The Whole30 program is built upon the idea that certain foods may be negatively impacting your health, energy levels, and mood. By setting them aside for thirty days, you can see how your body and mind transform without these potential triggers. This approach is designed to be strict yet empowering: you’ll uncover how resilient you truly are when you remove unhealthy coping habits. Think of it as a personal challenge that will strengthen your willpower and help you discover a new baseline for feeling good.

Throughout these pages, you’ll learn the rules that define which foods are temporarily off-limits, and why. You’ll also receive step-by-step tips on meal planning, grocery shopping, and navigating tough situations like social events. Above all, you’ll see how short-term sacrifices can lead to profound, lasting benefits in how you look, feel, and even think about food.

Whether you’ve tried countless diets before or are dipping your toe into healthy eating for the first time, this reset can help you break out of old patterns and make room for new habits. Let’s get started.

Food isn’t just about calories. It can influence everything from your hormones and digestion to how clear your mind feels during the afternoon slump. Many persistent issues—fatigue, skin blemishes, aches, extra weight—often trace back to the foods in your daily meals.

The Whole30 is anchored in four Good Food Standards: promoting a healthy psychological response, ensuring balanced hormones, supporting a healthy gut, and reducing inflammation. Eliminating common irritants like sugar, grains, dairy, and legumes allows your body to heal and recover from hidden stressors.

After thirty days of sticking to these guidelines, you reconnect with what it feels like to thrive. Then you’re equipped to decide whether certain foods are worth adding back—because you’ll know exactly how they affect your body.
