A 9-Week Plant-Powered Reset · Built for Churches & Families

Wellness isn't a willpower problem. It's a community problem.

Wellness Peace University is the 9-week, plant-based wellness program built in the spirit of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace — but for your body. Watch a lesson. Share a meal. Take one small step. Get healthier together.

A program of Plant Based Support

The Mission

Get your congregation strong — one plate at a time.

Millions of us are living with diet-related disease that the science says is mostly preventable — and mostly reversible — with whole, plant-based food. WPU is the simple, weekly, community-first program that helps your family and your church take that path together.

The Program

A simple weekly rhythm that actually sticks.

Three quiet ideas hold the program together — the same three that made Financial Peace University the #1 personal-finance class in America.

01

9 Weeks. 9 Steps. One Plate at a Time.

A simple, weekly path from first salad to family meal plan. Watch a lesson, share a meal, talk it through with your group — then take one small step until next week.

02

Hosted at Your Church

Modeled after Financial Peace University, WPU is designed to be led by a coordinator at your church or community center. The kit comes ready: videos, leader guide, recipe cards, conversation prompts.

03

Whole-Food, Plant-Based — for Real Families

Greens, beans, grains, fruit. Affordable, kid-friendly, freezer-friendly. We don't ask you to be perfect — we ask you to add one plant-powered meal a week, then another, then another.

The Curriculum

Nine steps. Nine weeks. One healthier life.

Each week is one short video, one meal to try, one small change to keep. By week nine your plate, your pantry, and your people look different — in the best way.

  1. Step 01

    The Why

    A new vision for wellness — for your body, your family, and the people you sit next to on Sunday. The science, the stewardship, the simple promise.

  2. Step 02

    The Pantry Reset

    Clean it out. Stock it up. The 12 staples every plant-powered kitchen runs on — and what to put back on the shelf instead.

  3. Step 03

    Build the Plate

    The simple plant-based plate template — greens, beans, grains, fruit. The math is easy. The plate is beautiful.

  4. Step 04

    Master the Greens

    Leafy greens every day. The 7 ways to cook kale, collards, spinach, and chard so even the kids ask for seconds.

  5. Step 05

    Beans, Grains & the Power Foods

    Cheap. Filling. Anti-inflammatory. Long-life. The protein and fiber backbone of the strongest people on earth.

  6. Step 06

    Cook Together (Family, Budget, Time)

    Meal prep that survives a real week. Family-friendly recipes. The grocery list that costs less than what you spend now.

  7. Step 07

    Eating in the World

    Restaurants. Travel. Family pushback. Holidays. The grace and the scripts to stay on the path without making it weird.

  8. Step 08

    Move, Rest, Renew

    Plant-strong is more than the plate — daily movement, real sleep, mindful living, and stress that doesn't run the show.

  9. Step 09

    The Ripple

    Lead a class. Bring a friend. Multiply the wellness in your church and your community. (And graduate with a plate to be proud of.)

Marcus D.

Questions, Answered

The most common questions.

Is this religious? +

WPU is faith-friendly and built to run inside a church or congregational setting — but you don't need to attend a church to take it. Anyone can join an online cohort. The framing is wellness as stewardship of the body you've been given.

Do I have to be vegan? +

No. WPU is whole-food, plant-based — meaning we add plants first. Most graduates land somewhere they're proud of (more plants, less processed) without us needing to draw a hard line for them.

What does a class cost? +

Church-hosted classes are free or donation-based. Online cohorts are pay-what-you-can. Coordinator kits are free for churches and community groups in our launch network.

How is this different from a diet? +

WPU is a 9-week behavior-change program, not a 30-day plan. It teaches a way of eating, cooking, shopping, and gathering that you can keep doing on week 52. The community is the engine.

Can I lead a class at my church? +

Yes — that's the whole idea. Pastors and lay leaders sign up for the coordinator track. You get the kit, the schedule, and a small group of other coordinators to talk shop with.
