30-Day Health Improvement Challenge
If you follow our program with 80% compliance and you don’t see tangible health benefits in 30 days, we will refund your investment or enroll you in a second month of our services at no extra charge.
Joshua Wayne MSW, MPH, modeled this evidence-based weight-loss program after the highly successful 10-day Plant-Based Jumpstart designed by PlantPure Communities in 2022. As Development Coordinator, Josh developed the PlantPure Communities Jumpstart Program, implemented the jumpstart with the help of a multidisciplinary team, and evaluated participants’ success while proposing updates and improvements for future Jumpstarts. One particular group that inspired Josh was the Macon Beets Jumpstart, in Macon, GA, led by Carol Kimsey and Gail Moulton (see below).
With a Master's of Public Health Josh focused on all factors that contribute to health behavior decision making including group dynamics and inter-personal interactions. We understand that living a healthy life is about so much more than just knowing which foods are healthy and which ones promote disease. Our family, friends, community, city, and religious beliefs all tie together to weave a tapestry that can either promote health or promote disease. To unwind those threads of ill-health takes time, effort, and difficult decisions. It helps to have guides like Josh and Stephanie who can show you the way toward a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Option 1 - Atomic Habits - Slow and Steady
Outcome: Feel better in your body with easy-to-implement changes. Less soreness, less pain, better rest, and improved digestion.
Change comes in all shapes and sizes. Josh’s weight loss journey took 10 years. Small 1% improvements over a long enough time horizon helped Josh make real tangible change. Along the journey, he also made mistakes and slowed his progress due to incorrect information, especially regarding IBS and the FODMAP diet. Josh is passionate about helping clients skip the decade of trial and error and speed up tangible results with evidence-based interventions.

Option 2 - Highly Motivated Self-Starter
Outcome: Lose weight, move.
During his 4 years with PlantPure Communities, Josh recognized one subset of highly successful people who reversed disease and lost weight with minimal outside support. These individuals were highly motivated but lacked sufficient information on how to eat healthily and lose weight. Once they learned about the transformative power of a Whole food plant-based diet, they were able to implement strategies immediately without needing regular accountability from a coach or doctor. If you're a self-starter who just needs to understand the research and evidence behind this lifestyle, reach out for more information!

Option 3 - Fully Supported Transformation with Guaranteed Success*
Our Fully Supported Transformation guarantees sustainable weight loss and improved lipid panels in one month with at least 80% program compliance (see terms below). We will need to work with your doctor to monitor your medication, as past participants were required by their doctors to lower or stop taking their insulin, blood pressure medication, and statins within 10 days. Our Wholistic Challenge is tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

A Successful Plant-Based Community Jumpstart in Macon, GA by Macon Beets
While in graduate school, Josh worked part-time as a Regional Manager. After Graduation, Josh took on the role of Development Coordinator for PlantPure Communities (PPC). Together with PPC, he helped group leaders across the country carry out a 10-day plant-based jumpstart for over 200 people with remarkable success.
For example, in February 2022, Macon, Georgia, leaders Carol Kimsey and Gail Moulton led 31 people through a 10-day jumpstart. The average participant lost 4lbs, dropped their cholesterol 16%, lowered triglycerides by 17%, and blood glucose by 10%. When Josh visited the participants in person, it was clear they were not fully compliant, yet they still saw their blood pressure normalize and blood readings improve.
“This jumpstart showed me that even when the participants doubted the program’s likelihood of success and even when they struggled with compliance, they still saw rapid improvement in just 10 days.” -Josh Wayne
“When I transitioned to a whole food, plant-based diet, I found that I was able to enjoy more diversity and flavors than ever before. I have consumed over 250 species of native plants and mushrooms, and I continue to taste new and exciting foods on a daily basis.”
-Josh Wayne MSW, MPH Head Forager of Whole Inc.

When Josh was just 16 years old, he was diagnosed with IBS, a torn Librium, and an alternating yet chronic case of anxiety and depression. The doctors were unsure of a sustainable path forward and that’s when he embarked on his healing journey.
Josh surrounded himself with teachers who guided him with knowledge of a whole food plant-based diet, breath work, and non-violent communication. Josh co-founded Whole Atlanta in order to share these teachings with his community and to give others the ability to heal with the tools he used to heal himself.
Josh has healed his IBS, lost 40 pounds and kept it off for 13 years, and helped dozens of individuals lose weight, lower their cholesterol, normalize HBA1C, and find more well-being in their lives. Josh has cooked delicious whole-food, plant-based meals daily for the past ten years and he has developed the skills to make quick, tasty, and healthy meals.

We guarantee that you will lose weight if you follow our program with at least 80% compliance. Health outcomes depend on individual factors, including medical history, current health condition, and personal adherence to treatment. Those who start at a BMI of over 30 may experience temporarily increased cholesterol levels and higher blood levels of toxic pollutants (DeWailley et. al, 2000) while losing weight. Watch this video with 23 peer-reviewd citations explaining the initial jump in blood levels of cholesterol and pollutants. If you continue the program, the levels tend to decrease after they are flushed out of your body within 2-3 months. Program compliance means following the Dr. Greger Daily Dozen app and sending us daily photos of each meal, so we can monitor your food intake in real-time and work with you to make adjustments as needed.
