Continuing in The Being Collective

Good morning. We are on day 6 of the Blood Sugar Reset, and I am so excited to be here live with you. Today is going to be a brief overview of how you can continue with us after the Blood Sugar Reset. Yesterday I shared about how you can join the Being Collective annual plan with an incredible discount that we're offering to everyone in the Blood Sugar Reset. So I want to extend a very warm welcome to our new members of the Being Collective. It has been a crazy almost 24 hours. We have 103 new TBC members and every single time I refresh it's like 5 to 10 new signups because you guys are signing up so quickly. So I love the fact that so many of you are dedicated to continuing with us and seeing these results that you saw in these 7 days by having the structure and the consistency that we will help you implement in the Being Collective annual plan. I also saw some messages yesterday from Sandy who said, "I made the mistake of not joining last time after the blood sugar reset," and Sharon who said, "I'm so mad at myself that I didn't previously take advantage of this." And so I think that it speaks to how much can happen when you take the leap and invest in a system that has worked so well for you this week that you don't have those regrets, that you're like, "Okay, I know that I'm going to continue because I've proven to myself in this past week that I'm capable of doing it when I have the systems in place, and I believe that I'm capable of continuing to see these results. Let me see if I can share my screen with you guys. Give me one second. Okay, I think that I'm sharing. Let me see if that's adjustable. Okay, you can see my screen. Okay, I wanted to share this from Deborah who said, for those that aren't members of the Being Collective, I highly recommend taking advantage of this. I have been a member for a little over a year and it is a game changer. Many of you were asking for the tools to do this long long term. These are the tools. This is it. I have had to do the Blood Sugar Reset in a modified way this time due to avoiding certain foods. And through the knowledge and many recipes from TBC, I have been able to participate fully while also— while still supporting my body's current needs. It is truly empowering. The community recipes and coaching are second to none. I was not asked to write this, just reflecting on how much these programs have helped me since I've joined. We love hearing from the incredible women in our community of how much The Being Collective has changed her life. So, Deborah, thank you for sharing that. The key here is that we are focused on the fact that most women 35 and up are on the blood sugar roller coaster and they do not even realize it. Many of you realize this now since going through the program. I saw in the Facebook group this morning, someone said that they went— they reverted. They had been feeling so good the first 3 days. They reverted back to sandwiches and other things at work. And realized how much worse they felt so quickly and how much they likely have been on the blood sugar roller coaster. And what the truth is, is that glucose spikes can impact your mitochondria, which are the powerhouse of your cells, inflammation, hormones, and organs that lead to so many of these symptoms that we normalize: cravings, fatigue, poor sleep, mood imbalances, and the risk of every single chronic disease. What I said to her is— I say all the time that you never realize how bad you feel until you start feeling good again. And it is so sad how much we can normalize not feeling good until we really start to notice those changes. What I know for sure after doing this for the last 12 years is that most people do not need more information or another supplement, especially after this past week where some of you said that you've learned more in this last week than you have in your entire lives. There was one comment that had, that had shared that, which was so sweet. I'm so happy that many of you have learned. And at this point, it's not that you need more information to accumulate from more books and podcasts. What you need is an efficient science-backed system that puts you into action, which is exactly why we pour into you over these 6 days, 7 days in the Blood Sugar Reset, is because I want to make sure for the $29 that you're investing that you have every tool that you need in order to feel the difference in your body, to feel the difference that eating in this way can really lead to for your life, for your family's life, and for other people that are enjoying these meals with you, which is why in the Blood Sugar Reset we do the meal planning for you. The 7 days, you get all of the guides like the swap banks and the carb guide and, and other resources to help to set you up for success. You have access to my team of incredible dietitians and functional nutritionists, which you've seen, you know, how, how responsive and supportive they are over the course of this week. The daily lives with me to take you deeper into the education, the community. We want you to be able to achieve this success in the 7 days to say Wow, this is so incredible what my body is capable of and how much likely what used to work is no longer working. Because for some of you, I saw it in the chat yesterday, the wins that so many of you shared in that finale masterclass yesterday were unbelievable. We have, I mean, it's like so many wins, hundreds of wins, more than 900 comments yesterday in the finale masterclass. And Some people saying, I've been trying to lose weight for so long, for years, and finally have seen the scale budge in this past week for the first time in a very long time. And it's not just about weight. There's other, there's other huge wins, of course, as well that were reported. But the progress that we want you to see that you are capable of achieving. So if you are looking to keep this going with us in the Being Collective, this is how you do it. If you want to keep going with the results that you've gotten from the Blood Sugar Reset, you absolutely can do that. And it is called the Being Collective. Active, which is our membership. This is a health framework that's been tested by 31,000 people and something that we have continued to tweak and modify based on the research and the findings in the people that we work with, the women that we work with. And what it is, is an efficient, enjoyable, science-backed system so that we can continue doing the meal planning for you, saving you 2 to 3 hours per week and being able to apply all the science that we're learning in real time. In addition to helping you be successful outside of the meal plans in times that eating out, in times that you're traveling, and in mindset shifts that you need to make in order to make this an actual sustainable change. It includes weekly meal plans. We meal plan for you every single week using our blood sugar balance and anti-inflammatory approach. We meet the goals that we've discussed this week from a nutrition standpoint, plus many more that we share with you throughout the course of being a member of the Being Collective. And this is not AI-generated meal plans. There is so much more that's factored into the meal plans that we're creating than something that you're just like asking ChatGPT for. You also get the customizable weekly grocery list, again, saving you 2 to 3 hours per week. The reason that the blood sugar reset feels so great in this week is because you have the structure in the system. So for people who are like, I'm just going to do this on my own after, I just want to say that like Sharon and the other woman at the beginning who said like, I just regret not signing up sooner, The reason that the Blood Sugar Reset feels so great is because you have that system in place that you don't have to think about what you're having for dinner because we do that work for you. And then we create that customizable weekly grocery list, the weekly meal prep list to help you identify where you're going to start with your meal prep for the week. 700+ high protein, high fiber, high phytonutrient recipes in the form of smoothies, entrees, breakfasts that are easy to prep and to get onto your table. The weekly group coaching for accountability and quarterly expert Q&As. This upcoming Wednesday, you'll have an opportunity to ask Cynthia Thurlow, an amazing nurse practitioner that I just interviewed on the Being Brigid Show, all of your specific questions. And a community of women who are optimizing— community is second to none. The support that our community has for each other is unbelievable. And it makes a difference to be in proximity with other women who are working towards achieving certain health goals. As James Clear says, that's if you basically like, if you want to get fit, then surround yourself with other people who are fit. If you want to, you know, build a business, surround yourself with other people who are building a business, because when you surround yourself with people who are doing what you want to do in your life, you get to those results so much faster. We also incorporate Brigid AI, which is an AI bot that we have trained Over the course of the last 8 months on all of our methodology, our frameworks, our recipes to help you to have me in your back pocket essentially, and to be able to ask all of your questions. We have Laura who said the structure is so, so helpful. It has reduced my stress for sure, even with a super busy out and about week. And Missy who said the structure is the best. I would not be able to figure out easily a plan on my own. And Jen who said I have tried every diet under the sun. This is literally the only plan that I want to keep doing. Everything about It makes me feel good and want to fuel my body well. The normal price for the Being Collective is $1,164. We charge $97 for our monthly payment plan. In addition to that, we typically charge $297 before that for the Kickstarter. And what we are doing for this round of the Blood Sugar Reset is we are combining that over $1,400 price into a total price of $597. $597 for the annual plan, which includes your 4-week on-ramp, that $297 Kickstarter for free, everything bulked into that $597. And then you're locked in at that annual rate for as long as you continue to stay with us. So it keeps your cost at less than $50 per month and is the best deal that we offer on The Being Collective. So you can sign up for that, join all of the incredible people that are joining our membership, beingbrigid.com/tbcannual. In order to lock in your spots. The discount expires tomorrow, so you have one day to take advantage of this discount that we're offering on the annual offer. We also have a 14-day money, money-back guarantee on the annual plan. So if you follow this for up to 14 days and you continue with us in the 4-week on-ramp, and then you email us if you're not seeing results, we will refund you for that annual offer so that you can at least See, it's hard to put into words and explain like all of the incredible ways that TBC will change your life. So you can try it for yourself with no risk and get that 14-day money-back guarantee on the annual plan. You can also use HSA/FSA through TrueMed with a letter of medical necessity, which I'm going to include the link for as well. We'll include the link in the email that's sent out with this training. It's very easy. You spend $20 on a medical letter of necessity from TrueMed. TrueMed's doctors typically write the letter within an hour of you submitting your form, sometimes less than that. And then you pay for the Bean Collective. You have to pay for the Bean Collective after you get your medical necessity letter, and then, um, they— you submit your letter and then they reimburse you. And TrueMed says that they have over a 95%, um, assurance rate of being able to deliver a letter of medical necessity. So what's included in the Being Collective? Weekly meal plans for blood sugar balance and inflammation. 700+ high protein, high fiber, high phytonutrient recipes. We release 10 new recipes every month so that bank continues to grow. Weekly group coaching calls, monthly themes, and a monthly challenge. Brigid Titgemeier, quarterly experts. You have access to all of our prior experts as well, in addition to our prior coaching calls, monthly Q&As with me and a community of women who are working towards optimizing their health. When you sign up for the Being Collective, you can go to beingbridget.com/tbcannual to register today. Again, that annual discount expires tomorrow. It's the last day that you can take advantage of it. When you, when you join us, then you get immediate access to the, the Being Collective full portal. And then you also get immediate access to the Being Collective Kickstarter, which is your 4-week on-ramp that we're going to continue after the blood sugar reset. So you instantly get access to the course that's in the Kickstarter. Plus the meal plans, plus everything that's in the Being Collective portal with Brigid Titgemeier and our guides and our coaching calls and the meal plans and the 700+ recipes, etc. You'll follow this upcoming week's meal plan for TBC, which is right here. It's the meal plan for 8-3 that everyone in TBC is following. And then that following week will shift to the 4-week on-ramp. So the week of August 10th, and we're running a live cohort of that on-ramp. So the first 4 weeks you get live coaching calls just for the new members that will help to walk you through the frameworks that we have in place for those 4 weeks that are designed to help optimize your results as much as possible in those first 4 weeks. Then Wednesday we have the expert Q&A with Cynthia Thurlow, and Thursday we have the kickoff call for just the new members. That's 30 minutes. And then Friday's coaching call is our is our weekly coaching call for all TBC members that we have every Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern, and all of the recordings are available to you. So welcome to the Being Collective. For so many of you that are joining, it's truly— I didn't know what to expect with this being our summer program, but how incredibly engaged you guys have been has been just honestly incredible. And the fact that so many of you are trusting in us trusting us with your dollars, with your time, with your energy, with the recipes and all of it. It just, it means so much. So we take it very seriously and are excited to continue to be able to support you. I'm going to stop sharing my screen for a second and I want to walk through some additional questions that have come in, um, in order for us to address them. Okay. So the first question is about is monthly, asking if there's a monthly payment plan. You can join monthly at $97 and cancel anytime, but the annual deal is for the $597 annual price for the entire year, which gives you that for under $50. It also gives you the Bean Collective Kickstarter for free, and you're able to lock in that rate for the rest of the time that you are a member so that you are paying the lowest price that we offer for the rest of the time that you are a member. The discount is only on the annual plan and it expires tomorrow. So tomorrow is the last day that you can take advantage of that. Um, HSA and FSA, this qualifies your HSA and FSA through TrueMed. So you just do a quick survey and then the provider, you have to pay $20. You do the quick survey, a provider issues, issues you a letter, and then you use your pre-tax dollars. I will include a link for you to be able to use that in order to, to apply that to TBC. Just to note that the letter cannot be backdated, so if you want it, then you need to apply and do that today in order for you to then join while we still have the annual discount available. Um, the other thing that I've seen people say is like, I don't know if I, if I have the time or capacity to be able to do the Being Collective or to do the Kickstarter. And what I would say is that we offer the 14-day annual guarantee. So if you don't feel a difference in the 14 days, you can email us as long as it's within the 14-day window and we will, we will refund you on that annual offer. So you literally have nothing to lose for being able to try it. The next question that I saw is, can, can I do this on my own? I saw a thread in the group on can I do this on my own? And yes, it is possible to do on your own. But what I would say is that possible and sustainable are two different things. So we used to run the blood sugar resets before we had the Being Collective. We've been running the blood sugar resets since 2021, but because so many women would report that in between those two blood sugar resets that we would do each year, that they would fall off track after feeling so good, and then they'd sign up for another round of the blood sugar reset, and then they would feel so good again, and then they'd try to do it on their own. And because so many women kept falling off in between those rounds is the reason that we spent an entire year building the Being Collective, because that's how many women were saying it, that it was like, this is, this is the best way that we can support them. Kathy had shared in the group that she tried this 3 times on her own and that the Community, the weekly plans helped to make her consistent. I would also say that outside of just the plans, it's the troubleshooting that we can help you with so much when you are struggling with eating out or going to a cookout or other things that are outside of your control. That's where the Be Collective frameworks and strategies for eating out, eating on the go, making it possible while travel, traveling, eating out without sabotaging your health, all of these things that we're able to walk you through and really show you in real time and show you also how we're doing it as a team of functional nutritionists, but also as moms, because collectively between the 4 of us, we have 10 kids. And so we're continually making it work and we show you exactly how we do that in a lot of the coaching calls and in the guides that we create. So I would say that, um, that is an important thing. The other one is that Free recipes will not change your life. A consistent meal plan that factors in the full week is what will change your life. And doesn't mean that you have to be perfect. We are all about perfect— or consistency over perfection. But having an actual plan in place is what is a needle mover for so many people. And I shared this in the Facebook group, but this past year, my friend that I've become close with, Lindsay Baumgren, she runs a workout program called Nourish Move Love, and she has so many amazing free workouts on YouTube. And so I was I was doing her free workouts for a few months and not really seeing much— many results. And she said, you can't just do random workouts on YouTube. Like, you need a progressive overload training and a cadence where I'm like planning on one day arms and legs and then the next day chest and whatever. And like having the strategy behind it from me as a personal trainer is what leads to exponentially greater results. And that is so the case for nutrition.. It's about having a meal plan that factors in blood sugar balance and decreasing inflammation outside of just one individual recipe itself. So the internet is flooded with recipes. If recipes were enough, then more people would be achieving their health goals and not having the number of symptoms that they have. Following Lindsay's workout program in her app and actually paying the money to do that has been one of the greatest transformations in my body composition and my strength. There's a method to the madness, and sometimes you don't know what you you don't know. Like, for me, the workout part, I didn't know what I didn't know, and I was like going through the motions without realizing the strategy behind the motions. And now I have such a greater awareness and appreciation for the process that she strategically takes everyone through. And that is the case with the Being Collective. So the reason that I just want to make sure that you're aware of that is because I would hate to see you go through the Blood Sugar Reset and feel like you're having so much momentum and so many results that feel so good, especially if you've tried for a long time and you're like, "Oh, what used to work is no longer working, and finally I'm like understanding and connecting why I feel so much better," then I don't want you to give up on yourself. Like, I want us to be able to support you in order to help you take what you've done in these 7 days and not just sustain it, but continue to uplevel so that literally 1 year from now you are like, "I cannot believe what I just achieved in this last year, which is some of those comments that you've seen from our, our other annual members. Okay. Another thing that we've gotten questions on is so much fat in nut butter and concerns around that for metabolism, etc. So this is intentional. Healthy fats, they keep you full, they help to support your hormone health. And TBC has 700+ recipes so that you're not just eating nut butter all day. When we design meal plans like the Blood Sugar Reset, fat. We do try to repeat ingredients as much as possible so that you're not spending even more money on groceries. But that, that's really like the simplicity for the reset. Now, we still incorporate nut butters, avocado, extra virgin olive oil, and other sources of healthy fats as the base for a lot of our recipes moving forward. But I don't want you to be afraid of fat and nut butters because the reason that many of you are experiencing no food noise for the first time ever and some of the other comments that I've seen, like not having the cravings not having the afternoon slump is because of the healthy fats in the meal plan. And you can absolutely— I've lost 40 pounds eating in this way. I'm working on the last 10 pounds postpartum and building back muscle that I lost. But you can absolutely lose weight eating a high-fat diet that keeps you satiated, that helps to turn off that food noise, that helps you feel more in control of your food choices, that also has the protein that you need in order to support your muscle-building potential. We're not just about losing weight here. We're about improving your body composition. I want you lean and strong. Okay. And then another question. Can I just do the Blood Sugar Reset? The— but sorry, can I just do the Being Collective Kickstarter? The Being Collective Kickstarter is not sold separately. So the annual includes the free TBC Kickstarter. But right now we are not selling it separately. This is a program that the majority of people in TBC have paid $297 for, and we are giving it completely for free. Free when people are saying, well, what's the difference between the Kickstarter and TBC? TBC is the entire membership where you get the 700+ recipes and the meal plans, et cetera. The Kickstarter is the first 4 weeks. It's a little bit more isolated where we're, we're holding your hand more. We have the live cohort happening, which we've stopped running. So the live cohort is just for this group itself where we'll be doing weekly 30-minute calls. For 4 weeks. You have those 4 nutrition check-ins through email and we are— you're following the meal plans from the Kickstarter. So think of it as like your first 4-week on-ramp and then you graduate into TBC after where you're following the full-on TBC meal plans after that. Now you can easily, like if you have a vacation or something else coming up, then you can postpone starting the Kickstarter and you can just use the resources that you have access to in TBC. If you're just jumping to the recipes and other things, That's perfectly fine. Or if you want to follow a different, different blood sugar reset that we've done before you dive in, then you can absolutely do that because you have access to all of it. But the Kickstarter is something that we actually started— we added after we had the Being Collective for a year. After we had the Being Collective for a year, we were— we identified in a lot of calls that we did with customers that they needed more guidance in the on-ramp process, which is why then we built out the Being Collective Kickstarter. And we typically do things very thoroughly. If you haven't if you haven't seen that in The Blood Sugar Reset. So the Kickstarter is like extremely comprehensive in nature, and we have large survey responses from people showing that following— 100% of people say that they see symptom improvements by following the Kickstarter 70% or more. So you only have to be 70% adherent in order for you to see the results based on the data that we've collected. Okay, other questions. I'm already a paying monthly member or I'm paying $270 a quarter or I'm paying at the $711 discounted rate that you were offering as an offer for the annual membership recently. And so if that is the case, you can email us at support@beingbrigid.com. We'll honor that $597. The price for next year, you'll be locked in at the $597 rate every year unless you cancel. So if we increase the price next year, it will not matter for you. Traveling. If you're traveling, sign up now. The Kickstarter starts August 10th, and you can jump in when you're back. So you can sign up now, take advantage of the annual discounts, and then don't wait because we don't want you to miss the deadline for that discount. Can you share it with family? Yes, you can share it. You guys are amazing. There were so many people yesterday that asked in the chat if they could share the link with their mom, their sister, their daughter, and you can absolutely share that same link, but do that before tomorrow because the discount ends tomorrow. Okay, I did want to also address that Kelly joins monthly on Tuesday and wants to be in at $597. So yes, Kelly, you can email us at support@beingbrigid.com and we will honor that. Roseanne said, this week gave me hope, and I love that, Roseanne. Having hope is such an important part of this process. And just that that, um, she wanted to talk it through with her spouse. So I would absolutely encourage you to talk it through with your spouse. This will benefit not only you but your spouse and your other family members. So absolutely you can do that and just sign up before tomorrow. Kim said, I would join at $50 per month, uh, which is the actual math. If you join for the $597, then that ends up being less than $50 per month. So that's exactly how you can do that through the annual plan. Um, okay. And then Martha and Lynn said, yes, I can't afford it. So there is, there is a monthly option. You can email support@beingbrigid.com for a link for that. Um, and then you could also use your HSA dollars and you can also use our 14-day money-back guarantee as well. Um, so that is the, the monthly plan. There's just no discount on, so it's the same as the same price. But if you sign up for the monthly plan before Tuesday, then it will still give you access to the live Kickstarter. So if you sign up after Tuesday, then you won't get access to the live Kickstarter, which means you won't have the live coaching calls, etc., as part of the other people that are joining this group at the same time. And then we of course had the most incredible people sharing the results they have that they've gotten from TBC. Joanne, who said she's off all of her medications. Heidi, who's brought her A1C from from 9 to a 5.2 and reversed her type 2 diabetes and lost 40 pounds. We have Brittany, who I shared yesterday, who's taken her insulin from a 40 last year to a 3.2, showing you that insulin resistance is reversible, inflammation is reversible, and so much is possible when you have the systems in place to support your health. So I am super excited to welcome many of you into the Being Collective annual plan. I want to make sure that there wasn't anything else that I needed to share. Again, you can head to beingbrigid.com/tbcannual for the $597 until tomorrow. And if you have other questions that come up, we are actively in the email inbox today. So you can email us at support@beingbrigid.com/annual. And, hmm, let me just make sure. Oh yeah. The other thing that I did want to highlight is that for people that are talking about the financial aspect of the $597 commitment, we get a number of people who share that this saves them money in the long run. So sometimes you have to obviously like make an investment to save money long term. And so I want you to think about Do you pay now or do you pay later? And oftentimes, not only do you pay now and then you get the health benefits, but you pay now. And what a lot of people report is that they, by eating out 3 less times per month, are saving a ton of money for their family. And also going to the grocery store with a plan saves them a ton of money because they're not going into like random, you know, spirals at Target or Costco or other places because they have the list. That they've created in advance and they stick to the list, which saves them money on all the random things that they otherwise would have been purchasing. And we also hear from a lot of people that they decrease their food waste considerably, which also means more money saved. So again, this has, from a math standpoint, a lot of it comes down to investing now and saving the money later, which I think, which I hope that you are able to, to recognize like how significant that can be. Down the road when you're able to factor in eating out less and then what that does for your health by saving you the microplastic exposure and the phthalates and other things, but also the, the investment that you're making in yourself and your family and, um, continuing to invest in your health, which is the real wealth. And the other thing that you save a lot of money on are all of the random payments. So thinking about the random payments for the thing, the shiny objects that you're tempted to purchase, the, the AG1s, the colostrum supplements, the food sensitivity testing. Like, all of these things are so unbelievably expensive and they don't actually move the needle. So learning how to meal prep, staying consistent, having the system in place, having the nutrient-dense menus and meal plans every week is what actually moves the needle on your health. It is the most evidence-based way to change your life, staying consistent with low glycemic Mediterranean principles. Really, the only thing that is more evidence-based than that is being able to have a consistent exercise routine. And those two things alone will take you the furthest when it comes to optimizing your health and improving the symptoms that you're working through, which is why I feel so honored that so many of you have already invested in continuing with us in the Being Collective. And I can't wait to continue to welcome more of you. Email us again this weekend at support@beingbrigid.com. I hope you have a strong day 6. A strong day 6. We're going to finish it strong tomorrow with day 7. I just saw what I looked like because I was looking at my slides for the slides that I was showing you. And I will see all of you in the Facebook group this weekend, in the emails. I hope that you have a great weekend, everyone.
