How Nurses Can Use That Clean Life for Meal Planning and Holistic Patient Care

Lately, I’ve been talking a lot about That Clean Life—especially with the amazing nurse entrepreneurs in the Holistic Nursing Entrepreneur Program™ (HNEP). After recording a recent Expert Interview with one of their team members for HNEP, I walked away so inspired by the possibilities this tool offers. So today, I want to share some of the ways RNs and NPs can use That Clean Life to bring more value to their patients, streamline care, and even grow their businesses.

What Is That Clean Life?

At its core, That Clean Life is a professionally designed meal planning platform created by registered nutritionists and dietitians. It allows wellness providers—including nurses—to offer nutrition support within their scope of practice by giving patients access to high-quality, pre-built meal plans and recipe guides that can be easily customized.

No guesswork. No scouring Pinterest. Just evidence-based, nourishing plans—at your fingertips.

And here’s the best part: you can brand everything with your own logo and colors, so it looks and feels like it came directly from your practice, not a third-party app.

Why It Matters for Nurses

Nurses are the heartbeat of patient education. We already teach, empower, and advocate for our patients. But when it comes to nutrition—a cornerstone of root-cause healing—many of us don’t feel equipped to offer tangible tools.

That Clean Life bridges that gap. It empowers nurses to provide practical, patient-friendly nutrition support without stepping outside our scope.

Here’s how you can use it.

15 Ways Nurses Can Integrate That Clean Life Into Practice

1. Create Free Lead Magnets with Recipes: Offer a beautifully designed “5-Day Hormone-Balancing Meal Plan” or “Anti-Inflammatory Recipe Guide” in exchange for email addresses. It’s an ethical and value-driven way to build your audience.

   
   

2. Offer Personalized Meal Planning as a Service: Customize plans for your one-on-one clients based on goals like blood sugar balance, metabolic health, or anti-inflammatory eating. The filters make it easy to tailor by cooking time, servings, allergens, and food preferences.

   
   

3. Support Your Signature Programs: If you run a group program (e.g., for gut healing or hormone support), enhance it with a curated meal plan that reinforces the content. You can even assign access to the client portal, letting patients engage on their own.

   
   

4. Add Value to Memberships: Many nurses are launching community memberships after patients finish an intensive program. Imagine offering one new seasonal recipe each week, or a themed monthly meal plan to keep members engaged long-term and maintaining results that they have experienced working with you.

   
   

5. Integrate into Email Newsletters: Drop a smoothie recipe or a “Sunday meal prep plan” into your regular newsletters. This keeps your emails high-value and builds trust over time.

   
   

6. Use Ready-Made Templates to Save Time: That Clean Life has an entire library of pre-built plans focused on common patient concerns—female hormone balancing, inflammation, cardiovascular health, digestive wellness, and more. You can edit and personalize, or just send as-is.

   
   

7. Empower Patients with Autonomy: Grant patients access to the platform where they can explore recipes and plans at their own pace. This not only lightens your workload, it encourages self-efficacy—a core nursing principle.

   
   

8. Incorporate Into Health Challenges or Group Detoxes: Running a 10-day sugar detox or seasonal cleanse? Use That Clean Life to provide meal plans, shopping lists, and prep guides to participants, making your challenge more effective and cohesive.

   
   

9. Create Protocol Packs for Specific Health Concerns: Build themed recipe packs (e.g., “Low Histamine Anti-Inflammatory Plan” or “Blood Sugar Balancing Breakfasts”) and offer them as downloadable tools for specific populations.

   
   

10. Support Post-Visit Follow-Up: After a consultation or coaching session, send patients a meal plan that aligns with your education. This reinforces your guidance and gives them actionable next steps.

    
    

11. Offer as a Passive Digital Product: Sell pre-made, branded recipe guides (e.g., “7-Day Hormone Reset Plan”) on your website or in your email funnel. These are fully customizable, so they feel like your intellectual property—just with zero from-scratch design work.

    
    

12. Use in Corporate Wellness or Workplace Wellness Services: If you consult for employers or run wellness workshops, include meal plans as part of your toolkit. It adds credibility and enhances your offering.

    
    

13. Bundle With Supplement Protocols: If you’re recommending supplements via a platform like Fullscript, pair them with That Clean Life meal plans to support absorption, synergy, or dietary alignment with the protocol.

    
    

14. Create “Seasonal Reset” or “Back on Track” Offers: Offer limited-time seasonal plans—like a post-holiday reset or spring clean eating reboot—as a low-ticket way to re-engage past clients or attract new ones.

    
    

15. Build an Educational Series Around It: Design a short email course or webinar series (e.g., “Intro to Anti-Inflammatory Eating”) that includes meal plans, tips, and education. You can repurpose the same plans for multiple cohorts or topics.

    
    

A Tool for the Modern Nurse Entrepreneur

The evolving role of nursing professionals means we aren'tconfined to a corporate-owned clinic or hospital. We’re stepping into roles as educators, entrepreneurs, and wellness pioneers—and tools like That Clean Life help us do that with confidence, ease, and professionalism.

It’s not about offering medical nutrition therapy- AKA "eat this and only this" (unless that’s within your credentials). It’s about providing structure, inspiration, and guidance that helps patients implement what they’re learning from their healthcare team—through food.

Whether you’re just starting your holistic practice or looking for ways to scale, this platform is a powerful value-add. And as someone who values alignment over hustle, I love that it allows us to offer high-impact support without burning out or reinventing the wheel.

I’m so excited to see more nurses embracing this resource—and I hope it gives you a fresh spark of inspiration, too.
