WholeSteps course
Nutrition and Blood Sugar Balance
Steadier energy from the food you already eat: less added sugar, mostly whole foods, and meals that keep you going. No calorie counting. Consistency, not perfection.

About 42 seconds. Music only, no narration.
Opening. On the right, a staircase climbs the left side of a mountain under three soft arches, and the layers of the WholeHealth Model settle into place inside it. Small text reads “WholeSteps Course.” The title reads: “Nutrition and Blood Sugar Balance.” Below: “One step at a time.”
The foundation. An orange outline draws around the bottom layer, labeled “Nutrition · Blood Sugar,” and the layers above it fade back. A small dot appears at the foot of the stairs. The screen reads: “It starts at the foundation. Steady energy starts here.”
Five lessons. The mountain moves a little to the right, with the foundation still labeled “Nutrition · Blood Sugar.” As each lesson title appears on the left, a line runs up from the foundation to an icon on the outer arch. The icons alternate sides, lower left and lower right, then higher, until the last one sits at the top: “1. Understand the Why” (a message going out), “2. Reduce Added Sugars” (a sugar cube with a down arrow), “3. Whole Food 80/20” (an apple), “4. Blood Sugar Balance” (a wavy line that settles into a steady one) and “5. Keep Climbing” (a flag).
Tools. A phone rises with a tool titled “Build your plate.” The plate holds salmon, brown rice and a large serving of pasta. A tap on the pasta swaps it for broccoli and peas, and a meter labeled “Steady energy” climbs from “Low” to “Even better.” The screen reads: “Tools you’ll actually use. Turn each lesson into action.”
Closing. The mountain returns, the bottom layer lights up again with its label, “Nutrition · Blood Sugar,” and the dot hops onto the first stair. The screen reads: “Take your first step with us. Enroll today.”
Throughout, small text at the bottom reads: “Educational content only, not medical advice.”
