The program is designed with flexibility in mind. There are no fixed start or end dates, offering you complete flexibility to begin and progress at your own pace.

The program is structured around a 13-week (12+1) module system, which is ideally completed over three consecutive months. However, we understand the need for flexibility, so the program is also adaptable to be completed over a six-month period, allowing you to progress at a pace that suits your individual needs and schedule.

Yes. Many participants start with the goal of enjoying a drink or two in moderation, and avoiding a return to old habits. This program empowers you to determine what works best for you. To reset your tolerance to alcohol, it's crucial to exclude wine and cocktails from your diet for the duration of the program, while diligently following our protocols. We work with you to create a practical and sustainable approach to removing it from your diet at the onset of the program. The next steps are designed to repair, rebuild, and rebalance your brain, body-mind and body systems. Once you've completed the program and based on your newfound understanding of your self and your control, you will be able to make an empowered decision about whether or not to reintroduce wine or cocktails into your diet without being at risk of slipping back into old routines.

You will have access to both the private 1:1 coaching calls and the group coaching calls for the length of your program (3 to 6 months). Upon graduation from the program you will also have the option to maintain, an alumni monthly membership for extended support and guidance.

The program is designed to deliver the most impactful results through the completion of all modules in a sequential order. Our extensive research and beta-testing have shown that participants achieve the deepest transformation and gain the highest level of confidence in maintaining their goals when they fully engage with each module. Thus, to maximize the benefits and effectiveness of the program, it is essential to complete all the modules as presented.

Absolutely. The Anchored Abstinence Recipe™, is designed to provide extensive support, even within its group setting. Participants benefit from a range of support mechanisms, including detailed module-by-module check-ins, weekly emails, interactive lesson-by-lesson 1:1 support, personalized one-to-one consultations, an engaging community group, and weekly group coaching calls. Rest assured, the level of support provided in the group program matches, and in some aspects, surpasses what you would receive in a strictly one-to-one setting. A key component of this program is the invaluable community and team support, where the shared experiences and encouragement from other women significantly contribute to each participant's success.

The one-to-one consultations are a pivotal part of The Anchored Abstinence Recipe™. Here's what to expect:

Initial Consultation: In your first module, you'll have a 60 minute session with Angelina via Zoom/phone. This session focuses on fine-tuning your nutrition and supplement plans and creating your personalized alcohol elimination plan. We'll also walk you through the program platform, including the Welcome module and customizable meal planner, ensuring you understand how to access and complete all necessary components.

Program Check-ins: Subsequent consultations, each lasting 30-45 minutes, are scheduled by you upon completing a module. These sessions are designed to review your progress, address any questions, identify new insights, review worksheets, personalize your plans/protocols and celebrate your wins.

Final Consultation: In your last consultation, we'll evaluate your reassessment results and discuss your ongoing plan. This is an invaluable opportunity to conduct a detailed retrospective analysis of your program detailing the elements which were critical to your success and providing clarity on your future direction.

Throughout the program, you have ample opportunities to ask questions, including Ask & Answer access to your Abstinence Coach from within each lesson in the program platform. Plus, the flexibility to schedule consultations at times that suit you best ensuring personalized support tailored to your individual journey.

Yes, participation in the program does not require active social media usage. All weekly coaching calls are conducted via Zoom, and personal 1:1 coaching consultations can be held either on Zoom or by phone as an alternative.

However, we do highly recommend considering a Facebook account to engage with The Anchored Abstinence Recipe™ Group. Many participants have created a minimal Facebook profile—without a photo or connections—solely for the purpose of participating in the program. The private Facebook group offers a wealth of support, inspiration, and guidance, making it an invaluable resource for quick answers and peer interaction during your program journey.

NOTE: Moving off Facebook onto our own platform is in the work! :)

We understand that schedules can vary, which is why the weekly group coaching calls are scheduled at five different times throughout the month, offering flexibility for attendance. For members who cannot attend a call live, there's an option to submit questions or topics for discussion each week directly to the coach or counselor. Additionally, you can access recordings of the calls, ensuring you don't miss out on the valuable insights and discussions that take place and share any insights or questions you may have. This approach ensures that all participants, regardless of their availability, can fully benefit from the group coaching experience.

The program is designed to be individualized and effective without the necessity of medical laboratory testing. We utilize information provided in your alcohol bio-type assessment, health history intake and nutritional profile assessment to personalize your nutrition, supplement and lifestyle protocols.

We do consider recent (within 12 months) laboratory test results. These results will be used enhance our understanding of your benchmark health history, alcohol, and nutritional assessments, allowing for more personalized recommendations.

In certain cases, based on your health history, we might suggest that you undergo laboratory testing through your medical practitioner or a healthcare professional. This is only recommended if we believe current laboratory data would be beneficial to your program experience.

It's important to note that we do not order, conduct, or directly receive any laboratory test results. The program is structured to accommodate varying levels of medical information, ensuring that each participant receives tailored guidance and support.

While the use of supplements is recommended, it's not mandatory for success. We understand that making significant shifts in brain and body health in a short period can be challenging through diet and lifestyle changes alone. Hence, we recommend specific supplements, selected from professional online dispensaries based on their dosages and ingredients, to ensure optimal efficacy and suitability for your needs. These supplements are chosen from a range of professional-grade options.

We have structured the program to allow for the staggered purchase of supplements, bundled into various packages, so you can acquire them as needed throughout the program's duration. If you prefer to use your own supplements, they should meet the criteria outlined in the program to ensure they align with our standards and your health goals. This approach allows for client flexibility while ensuring that participants receive the most effective support for their nutritional needs.

Upon completing the program, participants experience the elimination of cravings, thoughts, desires, or inclinations towards alcohol consumption. Graduates choose to completely exclude wine and cocktails from their diet or to moderate their consumption effortlessly. This newfound control transcends the feeling of being restricted or confined.

Beyond changes in alcohol-related habits, women in the program also report a variety of other positive outcomes, including:

Physical Health Improvements: Weight loss, increased energy, enhanced sleep quality, better memory, clarity, and focus, improved digestive health and bowel movements, reduced bloating and diarrhea/constipation, reduced aches and pains.

Mental and Emotional Benefits: Enhanced mood, better stress management, increased patience and tolerance, reduction or elimination of perimenopause/menopause symptoms.

Aesthetic Enhancements: Healthier looking and feeling skin, hair, and nails and weight loss.

Personal and Social Development: Improved relationships, a deeper sense of self, and a renewed belief in their own strength, abilities, and self-love.

These results differ among participants and reflect the holistic approach of the program, impacting various aspects of health and well-being.

Your location does not limit your ability to participate in our program. You can access the program platform and join coaching calls from anywhere in the world using a personal computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. The program app gives you access to your program website from your desktop or your mobile. The program is designed to be highly accessible, with all worksheets available online for easy completion. However, having access to a printer is strongly recommended for the best experience. Our client base is diverse, with participants from Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, demonstrating the program's wide accessibility and effectiveness regardless of geographical location.

The distinctiveness of our program lies in its comprehensive approach to both the physiological body and psychological mind. We focus on working with your physical brain and body at the cellular level, employing targeted nutrition and movement strategies to correct neurological and hormonal imbalances. This approach is fundamental in breaking free from the habitual cycle that many women find challenging.

In tandem with addressing physiological and biochemical imbalances, we also engage with the mental and emotional aspects of the nightly habit. This is achieved through a combination of psychoeducation, dialectic behaviour therapy training, cognitive behavior training, self-discovery, and professional accountability and support.

Our holistic strategy ensures a complete mind and body transformation, enabling you to gain independence from wine or cocktails without the sensation of missing out. Upon completion of the program, you will have gained a profound personal experience and a solid understanding of how the right protocols can break alcohol dependency. Moreover, you will be equipped with practical, actionable, and sustainable skills that empower you to maintain your success independently in your life well beyond the program.

The key difference lies in the nature and extent of support provided. While medical professionals offer valuable health care, they often lack the capacity to deliver the continuous, personalized nutritional and lifestyle support that is crucial for long-term success. Our program bridges this gap by focusing on sustainable mental shifts alongside dietary and lifestyle changes consistently with regular connection points. It's important to recognize that medication alone cannot fully address root cause imbalances or compensate for an inadequate diet and lifestyle. By complementing the medical care you may be receiving with our program, you gain a more holistic approach to your health, ensuring you stay on course and achieve enjoyable, long-lasting success.

Yes, there is an opportunity for continued engagement after graduation. Graduates can opt for a month-by-month alumni membership in The Anchored Abstinence Recipe™ Group. This membership allows you to maintain access to the group and participate in weekly coaching calls, providing ongoing support and community connection.

However, it's important to note that the core objective of the program is to equip you with the tools and confidence to move forward independently. We measure success by your ability to close this chapter in your life and maintain your achievements on your own. The alumni membership is there to support you in this transition, ensuring you have the resources and community support as you continue your journey independently.

Currently, the program is not designed for individuals following a vegan or vegetarian diet. While we recognize that the habit we address is equally present among women with all types of diets, the specific nutritional approach of our program is crucial for achieving transformative and lasting results. Our methodology focuses on correcting neurochemical imbalances and deficiencies, which we have found challenging to effectively address with the restrictions of vegan or vegetarian diets. We believe in the importance of a comprehensive nutritional approach that may not be fully compatible with these diets, as we aim to ensure the most effective and sustainable outcomes for our participants.
