Please remember, it took you your whole life to get to where you are today in terms of your health, so it can take time to get back to optimal health. As I once heard someone say: you don’t walk 10 miles into the woods to walk out in 5. You have to be realistic. 

Doing health properly takes time, and that’s why The HBS is a 6 month program.

Everyone heals at a different rate depending on what you’re healing from and the effort you put in. 

And it’s vitally important to know that Michelle and I don’t heal you. YOU heal you. We give you the best tools, tips, advice, and protocols in the business, but at the end of the day it’s up to you to truly listen to what we tell you and do the work. 

If you wish to stay on after the 6 month time period you can! That’s what The HBS membership is for: to allow you to stick around inside the program for as long as you like, paying month to month, (more on that below).

Health is a forever journey and you will never be “done”. Just like you take your car in for a service yearly. I believe everyone should take their bodies to a functional health practitioner at least once yearly for a “tune up” (by doing functional testing and getting customised supplement plans). But there’s no doubt you can feel so much better than you do today – and sustain this long-term – even after a few short weeks inside The HBS.

There is no “start” date for The HBS because we accept a limited number of women into The HBS on a monthly basis. 

Your time in the program starts once you’ve paid. The reason for this is that we have to lay the groundwork BEFORE we get your tests back so that the supplements we start you on, according to your test results, “stick”.

The first weeks in the program – whilst we await your test results – we focus on the right diet type for you, blood sugar balance, sleep, nervous system work, detoxification, and more. These lay the foundation and if you don’t do these things first then the testing protocols won’t work as efficiently.

Once you’re all signed up you’ll receive the first week’s resources with all the pertinent forms and information you need to get started. Plus, you’ll get immediate access to the private Facebook group and coaching calls where Tara and Michelle are waiting to support you and answer all of your questions.

You get 4 consultations throughout your 6 months inside The HBS. This is what they look like:

• The first consultation is done over Zoom (audio only) with either Tara or Michelle. This is a 45 minute information gathering session. It’s a chance for us to gather as much information about you as possible by talking with you and going through the online intake form you would have filled out for us prior to this consultation. This initial session will happen ideally within the first 2 weeks of the program.
• The second consultation occurs around week 10 of the program and this is a 30 min audio consultation with Tara or Michelle and is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about your protocols and test results and an opportunity for us to guide you / tweak anything we may need to tweak, and ensure you’re confident about the next steps in your healing journey. We can run through all your testing during this consultation so you completely understand what it all means and how it relates to your specific health symptoms.
  
• You’re invited to set up your third consultation on week 14 of the program and this is also a 30 min audio consultation with Tara or Michelle. This is another chance to get more of your questions answered and for us to ensure that you’re motivated and confident about the direction you need to take in the coming months to continue your health journey.
• You’re invited to set up your fourth and final consultation  on week 22 – a few weeks before your final week of the program.

The HBS isn’t so much a “group” program as it is a “hybrid” program. What we mean by this is;  you have a community of ladies in the Facebook group and you get many of you questions answered in here by Michelle and I and you also have frequently group coaching calls but you also have many private one on one consultations – it’s not purely a group program. 

Some think that because The HBS is a hybrid program they won't get the support they need, but this couldn't be further from the truth. 

In The HBS you get a huge amount of support between the one on one consultations, the Facebook group, and the group coaching calls. There is nothing you would get, support-wise, working with us one on one that you won't get inside The HBS. In fact, we find that the community support inside The HBS of other ladies is invaluable to women and helps them succeed in their healing journey.

A hybrid program is a combination of one on one private consultations + group support via the private HBS Facebook community, (where you get the support of both me and my team as well as other ladies in the program who are going through the same things you are) and the group Zoom calls.

The private Facebook group is filled with incredible support, inspiration, and guidance and it’s the best place to get quick answers to questions that may pop up for you whilst you’re in the program as we don’t do private email support. 

If we think you need more support by way of a low FODMAP or low oxalate diet we can help you with this too. We also give you recipes and meal plans to inspire and make food choices easier for you – for every diet type.

In my experience, many women do well when they incorporate some animal protein in their diet, especially when it comes to hormone balancing. (Our bodies can only work with the building blocks we give it – and this is especially true of our hormones!)

Vegetarians & vegans – you are of course welcome to join. I fully respect your choices, however, please know I can’t further customize a vegan or vegetarian meal plan but you’re welcome to adapt the meal plans to your own preferences.

That’s where The HBS monthly membership comes into play!

If you want to continue your healing journey past the 6 months in the program you can join the membership. This is when you pay month to month and are able to stick around and gain continued access to everything, including retest packages that aren’t available outside The HBS. You can purchase these retest packages inside the membership if/when you’re ready.

We do recommend supplements for you after you’ve completed your testing. It’s hard to make shifts in your health by diet alone. Cost of supplements depends on what health issues we have to work on together and what your test results show.

Please be prepared to make an investment in supplements, (and we give you discounts wherever we can) but also know this: we will give you the best case scenario of supplements we suggest you take but we can prioritise them for you so you can pick and choose if budget is a concern. We will always do our best to limit the cost where we can. Nutraceutical support however, is a crucial part of your healing.

We lay out exactly what we suggest including dose, brand, and where to purchase from. You're free to purchase whatever you want, (all or none or just some) and from wherever you'd like.

If your doctor won’t play ball here we give you suggestions for private labs where you can get blood work done.

In fact, we like to see old bloods as well as newer ones – this gives us the trends of your blood work.

But if you don’t have any when you join that’s totally fine. You can get bloods run after you join the program and whenever your results come in we will do a blood work overview for you. 

That’s why all the meal plans and recipes I provide and meal planning/prep tips are as simple as can be – without compromising on flavour, of course. 

I also try to make my meals really family-friendly. For example, most of the recipes are ones that I cook for my own family, and often use in my weekly meal rotations at home, so you won’t be slaving away in the kitchen cooking multiple meals for multiple mouths. 

But, I won’t lie… planning ahead is a MUST if you want to keep yourself (and your family) fed healthfully, and that’s why I strongly suggest meal planning each week. 

At the end of the day, my question to you is this: how can you afford to NOT find the time for your health?
