    We understand that our pricing might seem higher compared to other meal plan providers. Here’s why:

    • Ingredient Quality and Sourcing: We emphasize using fresh, organic, and high-quality ingredients. This focus on premium sourcing enhances both the taste and nutritional value of our meals.
    • From Scratch Cooking: Our commitment to wholesome meals means everything is made from scratch, including sauces and fermented foods. We steer clear of cheaper, pre-packaged ingredients, choosing real, whole foods instead. This allows us to maintain strict control over the quality and flavors of each dish.
    • Gourmet Standard: Our meals are designed to meet a gourmet standard, blending health benefits with culinary excellence. We strive to create a dining experience that delights your taste buds and contributes to your well-being.
    • Premium Nutrient-Rich Ingredients: Our pricing also reflects the use of premium, nutrient-dense ingredients like organic cashew or coconut cheese for vegan and dairy-free options. Unlike cheaper alternatives, such as soy or chemical-based products that may cause inflammation, we select ingredients that genuinely support your health.

    While our pricing may be higher, we believe the investment is worthwhile for those seeking exceptional quality, freshness, and a higher standard of culinary expertise. We are committed to delivering an elevated dining experience that nourishes your body and satisfies your palate.

    Ingredients and Sourcing

We are committed to providing high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients, and this includes ensuring that all our meat products meet halal standards. This allows us to cater to a wider range of dietary preferences while maintaining our focus on health and wellness.

    Health and Diet Specific Questions

    All of our meal plans are designed to help eliminate excess toxins and bring your body into balance. As a result, you may experience weight loss. Our focus is on optimizing overall health, which naturally supports weight management. This balanced approach tends to lead to more sustainable results in the long term. However, results may vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, activity level, and adherence to the plan.

    Our Gut Healing meal plan is specifically designed to nourish the digestive system. It includes ingredients known for their gut-soothing properties, such as fermented foods, fiber-rich vegetables, and bone broths, which help promote a healthy gut flora and reduce inflammation.

    The Detox plan is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods, designed to help the body naturally eliminate toxins. It includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs that support liver function and overall detoxification processes.

    The Anti-Candida plan is carefully crafted to starve Candida yeast by limiting sugar and refined carbohydrates. It includes anti-fungal foods, probiotics, and other nutrients that help restore a healthy balance of gut flora.

    In some of our plans, such as Autoimmune and Gut Healing, coffee is strictly prohibited because it can irritate the digestive system and trigger inflammation. However, in our Longevity plan, one cup of coffee is allowed (as long as it’s not on an empty stomach). As for tea, black and green teas are permitted in the first half of the day. Herbal teas can be very beneficial for health, but it’s important to consult your nutritionist or doctor to determine which herbs are suitable for your specific medical nutritional protocol. Staying hydrated is crucial, so make sure to drink plenty of water—approximately 30 ml per kilogram of body weight.

    Our meal plans are designed to be both nutritious and filling, but if you find yourself feeling hungry, it’s likely that you’re not drinking enough water. Our bodies often send signals of hunger when we’re actually dehydrated. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated.

    Achieving the best results with our meal plans involves more than just eating the right foods. It’s also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management. Following your meal plan closely, combined with these healthy habits, will help you achieve optimal results.

    We recommend choosing meals that align with your meal plan protocol when dining out. However, for the best results, it’s advisable to avoid eating out and stick to your plan as much as possible.
