Welcome to the project! It’s good to have you here.
** Please bookmark this page. I will be updating it from time to time with increasing levels of automation and information. You’ll want to be able to find it! Meanwhile, look for an email from me that contains your health history form and program agreement. You’ll fill both out, sign the program agreement, and send them back to me.
Let’s get started!
If you have not yet joined the Facebook group Eat the Rainbow: Whole Plant Food Diversity, this would be a great time to jump in. Its intent is to support you (and others) in including more plant foods into your eating style. It’s meant to be fun and inclusionary. We do not promote the exclusion of food groups, except as it suits the individual needs of the person. It is also open to persons not involved in this program. You are welcome to invite your friends!
I will be snail-mailing a hair mineral test kit to the address you provided with your registration. If you would like it sent elsewhere, please let me know right away. Remember, the hair collection cannot take place within the state of New York.
This is the link for where to order your microbiome test kit: uBiome Explorer .
You’ll order this test kit yourself, submit it to the lab, and you will be alerted when the results are ready. Please watch your email for the notification. It’s been running at about two weeks from the time the lab receives the sample, though that may vary a bit.
Once your uBiome results are in, you’ll need to get the raw data to me. There are two ways to make this happen. I will provide you with very easy instructions on how to download the raw data in Excel spreadsheet format. You can download it yourself and email me the spreadsheet. The best email address for this is: healthylivingzone @ gmail.com (just take out the spaces). Alternately, if you set up your uBiome account with login information you don’t mind sharing, you can share it with me and I’ll retrieve your data.
Support options
- You can feel free to email me: healthylivingzone @ gmail.com (take out spaces) with simple questions related to registration, lab test submission, or how to implement your program after we have reviewed it.
- Remember the Eat The Rainbow: Whole Plant Food Diversity Facebook group. It’s a great place to ask / look for general questions / answers related to the eating style. Someone else probably has a similar question, and it’s a great place to gather ideas.
- For more involved questions or more personalized support, I have some availability for 30-minute phone / Zoom support sessions. A 30-minute progress check visit is currently $60. Email me: healthylivingzone @ gmail.com (take out spaces) to set up a time; this will soon be automated.
Let’s connect!
I also post regularly on my Wellness Images Facebook page and on Instagram @wellnessimages_211 . You’ll find newer information and mindset support in these locations, along with the occasional fun tidbit. If we aren’t hooked up yet, this would be a great time to “like” or “follow”!
