TENTH ANNUAL GLOBAL SEPTEMBER WHOLE30® FOCUSES ON SELF-CARE, INCLUSION, AND ACCEPTANCE

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Whole30^®, the leading 30-day personalized dietary program, is proud to announce the return of its 10th Annual Global September Whole30, an annual tradition where Whole30'ers are supported daily with free resources via digital and social community events and access to exclusive offerings from Whole30 Approved partners. This year, those who join the Whole30 will have the opportunity to build a support network, expand their horizons in the kitchen with new recipes, and embark on a personalized well-being journey.

For those unfamiliar with the program, Whole30 is not a weight loss diet, nor is it prescriptive long-term. Instead, it's a 30-day whole foods-based program that combines the benefits of an elimination diet with the science of behavior change, helping you determine which foods work best with your body and lifestyle. Rather than evaluating success by the scale or tape measure, Whole30 focuses on non-scale victories like improved mood, increased energy, better sleep, healthier digestion, and reduced cravings.

"At Whole30, we empower people to trust their own bodies and define health on their own terms. As you leave summer behind and return to a normal routine, September is the perfect time to reprioritize your health and habits and reconnect with your body and food," said co-founder Melissa Urban. "Our community is showing us they're eager to lean into our grounding, supportive practice, and I'm proud to be celebrating thirteen years of the Whole30 with them and for them."

Urban goes on to share mindset tips on how to make the most of your Whole30 to foster a deeper connection to yourself.

• Practice self-care: Prepare yourself for this journey with the Whole30 Dashboard, featuring free resources, recipes, meal planning tips, and shopping lists. Document your journey with companion books including the Whole30 Day-by-Day journal and five Whole30 cookbooks.
• Keep it simple: Prepare meals based on whole food ingredients and add flavor with a dressing or sauce. You'll find thousands of free Whole30 recipes on our website and @Whole30Recipes Instagram feed, where more than 1.5 million people gather to find Whole30 inspiration.
• Shortcut with partner brands: You don't have to make everything from scratch. Tap into partners like Thrive Market, Trifecta, Chipotle, or Made by Whole30 sauces and marinades for approved eats that can lighten your mental load and meal prep.
• Brush up on your boundaries: Use your Whole30 to practice setting and holding boundaries around your health and commitments, to improve your self-confidence and results.
• Celebrate your wins: Get inspired by hundreds of testimonials, and share your non-scale victories when your Whole30 is over. You can also download the free shareable Whole30 graphics and calendar to track your progress.
