Testimonials

“Whole9 knows their nutrition. Not just that “science-y” stuff like biochemistry, digestion, or endocrinology. In addition to their theoretical background, Melissa and Dallas are masters of the practical “how-to’s” that can only be learned from working with thousands of people – and getting results.”

Regarding the Whole9 MealSimple™ template, Dr. Michael Hasz said, “While it’s obviously important to have excellent food quality, you also have to be in the right neighborhood with macronutrients. I tore your MealSimple™ template apart, put it back together, and did all the math. When all was said and done, I realized you had a really well organized plan for people. You put thought into your recommendations and your meal planning template… and you got it right.”

“I have done the Whole30 and prescribe it to my patients. In my clinical practice, I have had patients lose weight, lower the amount of insulin they need to take by up to 80%, lower their hemoglobin A1c by three full points in three months, improve or completely resolve symptoms of brain fog, fatigue, and chronic pain. More importantly, patients look and feel better when they eat this way.”

“I have personally experienced the benefits of the Whole30 program, and I wholeheartedly recommend the Whole30 plan to my patients to optimize a woman’s health during pregnancy and lactation. The nutrient-dense foods recommended provide ample vitamins and minerals without the need for the standard prenatal supplement. Eating real food Whole9-style will also help regulate blood sugars, alleviating hypoglycemic spells common in pregnancy. In addition, the Whole30 will reduce the likelihood of gestational diabetes, excess pregnancy weight gain, and possibly macrosomia (large babies) and polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid).”

“The Whole30 program (when followed as directed) is a great tool to get people motivated and on track. Its focus is real, whole, high quality foods. This is not some fad diet that cuts calories to a ridiculous level and prescribes pills and powders – there is nothing for sale but health. If done correctly it is safe, effective and sustainable, and includes nothing outlandish, expensive or hazardous – just the basic tenets of good nutrition and health.”

“I attended Whole9′s workshop at CrossFit Invictus in August 2009. Things that made me say, ‘Yes, you are so right’: The whole darn workshop. Things that made me stand up and say, ‘B.S.’: Nothing. Everything had a logical explanation and was well thought out. Bottom line – good stuff here, reminiscent of Robb Wolf before we all lost our heads. I really liked this one – I wish I had brought my 11 year old daughter. If they come to a box near you, go check them out. If you have a box, get them to come and present, worth the while.”

“I have been using the Whole30 with my patients, and have seen some amazing and exciting results. One patient in particular has managed to lose 20lbs in as little as 3 months, and her most recent lab studies show a normal A1C, increased HDL and lower overall cholesterol and LDL. She also was able to completely resolve her non-ulcer dyspepsia without the need for medications. For those patients that are compliant with the recommended program I have seen similar results. I have spent many hours reading and reviewing your program and I feel it is a no-nonsense approach to nutrition that covers all the macro- and micro-nutritional needs for people.”
