THE 30-DAY VEGAN CHALLENGE (Online Program)

Absolutely! Registration is open to anyone, anywhere, at anytime!

The 30-Day Vegan Challenge™ is a multimedia online program, created by me — Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, author, podcaster, and speaker — featuring premium written, audio, and video content to give you everything you need to support you on your journey towards optimal wellness and unconditional compassion.

Whether you want to improve your overall health, shed a few pounds, demonstrate your compassion for animals, help the environment, or become a more effective advocate, I give you the tools and resources you need to make the vegan transition – healthfully, joyfully, and deliciously. Addressing your every question and challenge, I hold your hand the entire time, helping you to break free from old habits and to experience lasting benefits – both tangible and intangible.

Once you sign up and receive your payment confirmation, you get your very first email welcoming you to The 30-Day Vegan Challenge™. This Welcome Email provides you with some vital information to prepare you for the next 30 days. The next day, Day 1 of your journey begins, and you receive an email each day for 30 days, plus an extra wrap-up email the following day (essentially Day 31). Each day features a different topic offered in a variety of mediums: as written material, audio messages, and videos.

Thanks for asking! Gift subscriptions for The 30-Day Vegan Challenge™ can be purchased here. Once you make your gift purchase and provide us with the email address(es) of your gift recipient(s), they will receive the Welcome Email that also gives them the name of the gift-giver. And the journey begins as described above.

While the email program will expertly guide you through the 30 days, the book is even more comprehensive with more resources and recipes. Although a few days are switched around, The 30-Day Vegan Challenge book complement each other perfectly.

I do not advocate one type of diet (gluten-free, soy-free, raw, fat-free, oil-free, nut-free, etc.) over another, but I am always conscious of people who fall into these categories. You’ll find that throughout my work – and this Challenge – I refer to various products that might fall into these categories, and in all of my recipes, I indicate whether they are wheat-free, soy-free, and oil-free.

Although specific foods and brands mentioned throughout the program may be different depending on where you live, all the general principles can be applied to anyone, anywhere. In addition, in The 30-Day Vegan Challenge book, all of the recipe ingredients are given in metric as well as imperial.

Yes! Having a community of like-minded people is vital to remaining a joyful vegan. Everyone who has purchased the 30-Day Vegan Challenge™ has the option of joining our private online group so you can interact with others, ask questions, share recipes, and even find people in your area also taking the Challenge.

Forever.

My books are available everywhere books are sold — from small independent stores to chains. Signed copies are available through my website, which supports me directly, but all of my books are also available at the large booksellers online and offline. Some are also available as an eBook. And don’t hesitate to ask your local bookstore to carry any of her books if you don’t see them on the shelves.
