I get it. It can be intimidating trying something new that many people tend to overcomplicate.

The good news is, I am all about keeping things simple and easy. This program will help you know exactly what ingredients to keep on hand for your personal nutritional needs, while also guiding you through how to prep and put together ingredients for quick, delicious meals.

You might even surprise yourself by uncovering a love for cooking!

And, if you ever get stuck, the community and chat-with-me coaching is here for you.

The Real Food Good Mood Lab is designed as a go-at-your-own-pace program. You go through the lessons as you can and implement as you go.

Each lesson’s action steps will vary in time to complete. This program is less about the time you spend “on the program” and more about incorporating the things you learn into your lifestyle, because that is where the change will happen.

With a year access to the program contents, you won't feel any pressure to complete it ASAP. I recommend scheduling a set time each week to watch the next lesson and begin implementing it.

Some of the weeks will require completing the “homework” before moving to the next lesson, while other lessons can be watched back-to-back. 

Real talk - shopping for, cooking, and eating real foods from scratch usually takes more time than opening a box or popping something in the microwave.

It may take some re-prioritizing of how you spend some of your time in order to make room for changing your food habits.

The good news is, every step of the shopping, prep, and eating is incorporated into the nervous system regulation plan.

So, instead of just taking up time, it’s actually part of the healing process.

Instead of it simply being another thing on your to-do list, it becomes an enjoyable part of your lifestyle. 

This is a one-time purchase for continued access for a year from when you purchase. There are no ongoing membership fees or additional costs for this program.

If you choose the pay-in-full option, that is the only payment you’ll be charged for the program.

If you chose the payment plan, you will not be charged again once you have completed your payment obligation.

You may see me talk about “members” of the program, because once you’re in, you’re a member! But this is NOT a subscription or memberships that requires monthly or yearly fees. (However, you will have the option to join for another year at a special price!) 

As for equipment, the beauty of cooking real food from scratch is that it only requires a few simple kitchen tools that you probably already have (personally, a simple fork is my favorite multi-use kitchen tool!)

As far as ingredients go, it’s really up to you how much you spend! I encourage you to get the highest quality you can afford, and as local as possible.

As a single mama, I know how tight the grocery budget can be. I also know that I spend so much less than I used to when I bought more conventional foods from the grocery store.

Yes, the farm-fresh raw milk costs more, but I know the live microorganisms are giving me and my daughter the immune-system-boosting and gut health benefits that we would never get if we stuck with pasteurized milk. I just can’t put a price on what the health benefits will save me in the long run.

(Oh, and no, you’re not going to be required to drink raw milk if you’re side-eyeing me about that. None of the ingredients are “required” - this is your personal plan for your personal goals, afterall!) 

Not at all!! I will spend a lesson educating you about the difference between the standard American diet and “real food” (while defining what that means).

Any decision you make will be a direct result of your personal experience with specific foods, your values, your tastes, and your goals. This is not a one-size-fits-all plan.

This is me giving you the guidance, space, and tools to figure out the best nutrition plan for you.

This program is not about restriction or “being good”, but about what you’re moving toward with your mental wellness and food habits. 

Once you’re logged into the program portal, it’s pretty easy to find what you need and what to do next as you move through the program.

If you’re able to check emails and navigate websites, you shouldn’t have any problems.

There will be a walk-through video to help get you started in the portal, and if you run into any tech issues, I’m just an email away to help.

Of course! This is a self-paced program that takes you through my 4-phase CALM framework: Clarify, Align, Lean In, Maintain.

Each phase has between 5-15 lessons that will lead you through action-oriented steps to build your personal nutrition plan based on your unique needs and goals. You will be given guides, worksheets, and other resources to help you work through the material and apply the concepts to your life.

While the program is self-paced, you are not on your own. You have one year access to the community, where I am actively answering questions, and you’re able to connect with, get support from, and encourage other members of the program. The community is conveniently located within the program portal. 

As a bonus, you also 2 live group coaching calls per month, so you can move forward in the program with confidence.

If you have any specific questions, please email me at [email protected], and I will personally respond to help you make the best decision for your situation. 

While I don’t offer refunds, I do have a 6-month money-back guarantee.

If The Real Food Good Mood Lab doesn’t work for you, you have a full 6 months to do the work, complete the entire process, and build your Good Mood Protocol.

If you do all of the work and don’t see any improvement in your mental wellness, I will refund you.

You will have to submit your work for review in order to receive a refund. I guarantee this entire process, not bits and pieces. I want you to succeed, and I firmly believe you will when you fully commit to the entire program. You can do this!
