FAQ

  • I have a food allergy/sensitivity and/or follow a specific diet. Will I be able to participate?

    Yes! All of the recipes included in this program have options to be modified to fit a Dairy-free, Gluten-free, and/or Low-FODMAP eating style. Plus, you’ll find many excellent vegetarian, pescatarian, and vegan options on the recommended food lists. So, if you don’t like, or can’t eat an ingredient, you can swap it out for something that works for you. You’re in control.

  • The videos take a long time to load. How do I fix this?
