Who it's for

A colorful plant-forward bowl

For Physicians, Lifestyle Medicine & Health Coaches

Somewhere to send patients after "eat more plants."

You have minutes per visit. Lasting change takes weeks of practice, support, and good recipes. WPU is a nine-week group program you can refer patients to, or that health coaches can lead themselves.

The referral gap

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and diet is one of the few risk factors patients can change themselves. Most need more than a handout to do it.

Lifestyle programs that exist are often long, expensive, or hard to find locally. A simple group program near home lowers the bar.

What you get

  • A referral pad and a patient-friendly page that explains the program in plain words.
  • For health coaches: the coordinator kit to run your own cohorts.
  • Materials that consistently tell patients to keep their care team informed and never to stop medication on their own.

WPU is in pre-launch. Materials are in draft, and founding partners help shape them before they open to everyone.

How referrals work

  1. 01

    Refer

    Hand the patient a referral card or send them to the program page.

  2. 02

    They join a cohort

    Locally hosted or online, nine weekly sessions.

  3. 03

    You follow the numbers

    Blood pressure, lipids, and A1C stay with you. Adjust medications as needed.

The nine weekly steps: Taste the Power · The Why · The Pantry Reset · Build the Plate · Master the Greens · Beans, Grains & the Power Foods · Less Meat, More Life · Move, Rest, Renew · The Ripple. See the full program.

The evidence

What the research says

  • Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the US.

    CDC, Heart Disease Facts

  • In a small 5-year trial, intensive lifestyle changes including a very low-fat vegetarian diet led to modest regression of coronary artery narrowing, while it progressed in the control group.

    Ornish et al., JAMA, 1998

Questions

Is WPU a medical program?

No. It's an education and behavior-change program that supports, and never replaces, clinical care.

Can health coaches lead cohorts?

Yes. Certified health coaches are a natural fit for the coordinator role.
