Based on a multidimensional approach and five key pillars – relationship, mental, emotional, physical and financial health – the program now provides more recipes than ever, with as many as seven choices available each week, including such nutritionally dense ingredients as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.
