Melissa Urban's Insights: From Whole30 Evolution to the Power of Boundaries

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Whole30 founder Melissa Urban about the evolution of the Whole30 programme and the importance of, and how to set, boundaries. They discuss how science has emerged over the last 14 years that have led to the major rule changes in the programme (and what these are). In addition to this, Melissa also shares how she has changed and why this was so important to better understand an individual’s experience when embarking on the Whole30 programme. They also discuss Melissa’s Book of Boundaries, and how her work in Whole30 helping people navigate their Whole30 experience out in the world gave her insights in to the challenges that people have in standing up for themselves, communicating their needs in a way that makes them feel confident and empowered. This extends far beyond just food and they chat about the tools required to allow people to do this. And so much more.

A few months later she blogged about the experiment and invited her readers to give it a try, calling the program "the Whole30."
