Vital Mind Reset

This program is for anyone looking to treat their symptoms naturally, and it's not just for women! Whether you are new to “eating clean” and living a holistic lifestyle, or you’re already familiar with this lifestyle, this protocol will give you the tools for a new start. This diet plan isn’t your average 100% organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free elimination diet — it's a carefully selected list of foods that Dr. Brogan has identified as potential culprits behind your symptoms. The combination of the core elements of this program during a dedicated 44-day window has helped many resolve lifelong symptoms. We know there are many dietary and detox protocols out there, but this one is different.

Our independent-study program is open in between our live groups that we host twice a year. Anyone joining this version of the program will not be part of a group and will begin the program on their registration date.

This version of the program does not include access to our live group calls. Please also note that both our live and independent-study versions of this program do not include social media groups.

The content in both the live group program and the independent-study program is exactly the same, with the only difference being access to our group calls.

This program will cover critical health freedom topics, like:

• The system of fear and control perpetuated by the conventional Western medical model
• The religion of science
• The dangers of your current diet and industrial food

This program will empower you to:

• Move past fear and trust your intuition
• Shift your beliefs in support of your healing
• Embrace nourishing foods
• Harness the power of daily meditation and detox practices

If you already eat clean, meditate, detox, and understand the importance of these pillars of wellness, the VMR program can still be supportive! We believe that this program will give you a unique opportunity to focus on all of these elements in a dedicated container. Many have found that just being in the VMR space was the missing link in their healing journey.

Registration for VMR is currently open for our independent-study program outside of a group. There is no official start date and the program will begin on the date of your registration.

The program is designed for you to do a little bit each day for 44 days. You’ll always have access to the course materials, so you can always go back and start the reset again if you feel you need to.

The exercises and activities in VMR generally require between 15 and 45 minutes of focused attention per day. There are a few more intense days that you can tackle in bites if that works better for your schedule. This 44-day program is thoughtfully designed and paced to uproot old belief systems and fully reset the body/mind.

The program is completely online and can be done by anyone with access to a computer or mobile device.

Each lesson is available in text and audio, and includes a brief video from Dr. Brogan with her key takeaways. In addition to weekly lessons and meditation videos, the program offers worksheets, meal plans, recipes and shopping lists that you can download.

Our small team works hard to keep the VMR program running and engaging for our members. There are operating costs that are necessary to sustain the VMR experience for our members, and the $2,997 value of the program is based on those costs as well as the value relative to the fee for this very same protocol in the in-person clinical setting.

This investment is a non-refundable purchase. We do not offer refunds or cancellations before, during, or after the program for any reason.

We would recommend anyone considering joining this group to read this page in its entirety, and to ask our team any remaining questions prior to registration. You can read our detailed policy here.

The Vital Mind Reset program can be done by anyone looking to achieve mental health and wellness naturally. Dr. Brogan used this same protocol for each patient, no matter their diagnosis or medical history. Women and men around the world have successfully treated not only mental health disorders with this program, but some have seen total resolution of symptoms like insomnia, brain fog, fatigue, blood sugar imbalance, and thyroid disorders, to name a few.

This program was not specifically designed for weight loss.

The Vital Mind Reset program is appropriate for all stages of your health journey. Dr. Brogan used this protocol in her practice to help patients heal without medications, with patients hoping to taper, and with patients hoping to recover from withdrawal symptoms after stopping medications. We believe that it’s never too late to benefit from the VMR program on your healing journey. 

This program will not require you to stop or taper your medications, and it is not just for those who are on medications. 

Many people choose to explore medication tapers following the program. Before Dr. Brogan made any changes to a patient’s medication dose, they engaged a program almost identical to this one. It is important that the body and mind be optimized prior to careful medication tapers. 

The tapering process is highly individualized, so it’s not possible to provide general tapering instructions that everyone can follow in this program. However, our bonus module on tapering that unlocks after the 44 days includes some resources that we think will be helpful if tapering is something you wish to pursue. 

You should consult your personal physician or mental health professional before you initiate any program. This program is not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. You may have special dietary considerations to consider. Everyone is different.

We encourage all those interested in exploring lifestyle medicine to work with a practitioner versed in the art and science of nutritional healing. Referral engines are linked on our resources page. Unfortunately, nutrition is not a part of conventional medical training, so consultation with an allopathic MD may leave you feeling confused.

The VMR diet most closely resembles the popular Whole30 diet, with some additional eliminations.

The diet in this protocol will begin on day 16 after approximately two weeks of what we call "mindset shift." The diet instructions will be made available on day 12 and you will be expected to begin on day 16 and continue until day 44. You do not need to be prepared to begin the diet on day one!

Yes! Joining VMR will give you access to comprehensive meal plans, shopping lists and recipes you can follow. However, you don’t need to follow the recipes or meal plans to achieve success in this program. As long as you follow our recommended “foods to avoid” guidelines, you can eat anything you want in any quantity.

While the core of the VMR program centers around a diet that is rich in animal foods as a tool for healing the mind and body, we’ve recently added vegetarian recipes for those with personal or ethical concerns, which Dr. Brogan discusses more here. 

It’s worth noting that Dr. Brogan does not have clinical data from her medical practice or VMR program suggesting that a fully vegetarian diet will result in the same outcomes discussed here. We believe this diet will be more for those who are looking to optimize health, rather than those who are dealing with acute issues.

Our meal plans are not entirely vegan-friendly.

The success that we know is possible through this program and discuss on this page is based on the original diet consisting of animal foods. Therefore, we do not endorse the vegetarian diet we include for radical healing or for anyone with the intention of a medication taper. However, we do think it’s still possible to benefit from this program in some way while following the other elements of the program.

Please also note that the program content will still reference the benefits of an animal foods diet.

For specific questions regarding the steps and details of the protocol that come up during the 44 days, our team is available by email.

One-on-one coaching is not included as part of this program, but we can make a referral if that is something you are interested in.

If you are interested in more support and community connection during the program, you may be interested in joining at a time when we are hosting our group calls. These live groups occur twice a year, typically in the spring and fall.

Our team has practiced attuning to the evolving nature of a program that is designed to provide a portal to reclamation of self. This has required that we constantly refine the offering so that it reflects what is needed collectively and individually, at a given point in time. To this end, we have trialed many different types of community and connection and have made the very conscious and deliberate decision to offer live circle calls as the sole VMR community model for the 44 day experience. This community experience is only available twice a year and not included with the independent-study program. We do not have social media groups for this program.

Meditation is a vital part of the program and Dr. Brogan shares her expertise in kundalini yoga within each module. The lessons feature a 3-minute video guiding you through each meditation, or “kriya.” You can learn more about kundalini here. If you find that kundalini is not for you, you are welcome to meditate any way you choose.

The VMR program was designed so that anyone can take control of their own healing. The protocol and lessons in the program are essentially the same as what Dr. Brogan used with her patients, no matter the diagnosis or medical history.

The program does not include personalized access, calls, sessions, testing or medical history review with Dr. Brogan or her team.

Any personal questions related to your medical history or current conditions are best directed to your holistically-minded practitioner.

Many ask if we are able to provide a formal invoice for their purchase to submit to insurance. Please note that by purchasing VMR, you are not considered to be a patient of Dr. Brogan. Therefore, we are not able to provide this information.

The VMR program covers many of the same principles you will find in Dr. Brogan’s books, NYT Bestseller A Mind of Your Own and Own Your Self. While the books include an outline of the same protocol and just a few recipes to get started, the online program takes your healing journey to the next level. The course is designed as a step-by-step, “one day at a time” guide through the program, with lessons broken down into 44 days. The program also includes a trove of resources that you won’t find in the books, including a coffee enema guide, shopping lists, meal plans, over 50 recipes, meditation videos, a guide for beyond the 44 days, and more!

The VMR protocol is meant to be done over 44 consecutive days. The program materials are released on a schedule, so you will only have access to the next 6-8 days as the program progresses. For best results, we do not recommend reading more than one lesson each day.

If you find that you'd like to go through at a slower pace, you can feel free to do so. However, the results discussed on this page are based on doing the program as presented.

Many people join the program hoping to gain access to the diet information or our medication tapering resources on day one. Please be aware that we are not able to unlock modules or program content in advance of the fixed schedule. We understand that many of you come to us at different intervals of this journey, but in order to ensure that this protocol is being done safely and will produce the best results, we are not able to honor requests to expedite content release.

For best results, we recommend beginning the program at a time that's easiest for you to commit to the radical lifestyle change to come. We don't suggest you begin the program if you have travel planned, a move, a special event, visitors, or won't have access to your own kitchen during the 44 days. If you are not able to begin now, we recommend registering at a later date.

All fully paid VMR members will always have access to the course materials. If you want to start the program again, all you have to do is log in and start with day one!

Please note that the VMR package does not include access to future live groups following the end of the original 44 days.

Because of the level of personal commitment required to complete this program, we do not recommend that you register on behalf of another or purchase this program as a gift.

The independent-study program does not include future access to our live groups. However, there may be an opportunity to join a later group for an additional fee.
