Who it's for

A colorful plant-forward bowl

For Registered Dietitians & Nutritionists

A group program you can run without writing one.

You already know how to help people eat better. What takes the time is building a group program from scratch: nine weeks of lessons, recipes, handouts, and a rhythm that keeps people coming back. WPU is that program, ready to run under your name.

Why groups, and why now

One-on-one counseling works, but it doesn't scale. A group lets you serve eight or twelve people in the hour you would spend with one, and the group itself does part of the work: people show up for each other.

Most clients don't need more information. They need a plan for this week's groceries, a recipe that works on a Tuesday, and people to tell how it went. WPU is built around exactly that.

What founding dietitians get

  • The full 9-week curriculum: weekly lesson outlines, discussion prompts, and the small step for each week.
  • Recipe cards and shopping lists built around a plant-forward plate (greens, beans, grains, fruit, plus).
  • A leader guide you can adapt to your own clinical judgment and scope of practice.
  • Your name on the cohort. You run it, you set the format, you keep the client relationship.
  • A say in what we build next, and credit as a contributing dietitian where your recipes or edits are used.

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

The evidence

What the research says

  • In a randomized trial, people who joined a weight-loss program with friends and received social-support training were far more likely to finish (95% vs 76%) and keep the weight off (66% vs 24%) than people who joined alone with standard treatment.

    Wing & Jeffery, J Consult Clin Psychol, 1999

  • A healthful plant-based eating pattern was linked to about 25% lower risk of coronary heart disease, while a plant-based pattern heavy in refined grains and sweets was linked to higher risk. Food quality matters, which is how WPU teaches it.

Questions

Is WPU vegan?

No. WPU is plant-forward, not plant-exclusive. Participants add whole plants first and reduce processed foods and meat at their own pace. That makes it a comfortable fit for clients who would never sign up for a vegan program.

Can I charge for a cohort I run?

During the founding period we're working this out with each dietitian directly. Tell us how you'd like to run it and we'll agree on terms before you launch.

Does WPU replace medical nutrition therapy?

No. WPU is an education and behavior-change program. Clinical care, including MNT, stays with you and the client's medical team.
