Welcome to Whole9
Founded in 2009 by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig, Whole9 is a community focused on health, fitness, balance and sanity, all built on a foundation of real food and healthy nutritional habits.
We talk a lot about nutrition on our site and in our workshops, but that’s just one aspect of our program. The ‘9’ in Whole9 comes from these 9 factors, which we believe are all important for optimal health. Our 9 Blog (below) features all of our articles, addressing various aspects of each of these factors (and then some).
In addition, we are the home of the original Whole30® program, which has been quietly changing the lives of tens of thousands of people since April 2009.
We invite you to learn more about Whole9 and our Whole30 program. Start here.
