Policies & Terms

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Important: Content is for educational purposes and is not medical advice. “Lifetime access” means for as long as The Plant Food Academy offers the course and its private community, which may be changed, moved or discontinued at any time.

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Plant Food Academy ("The Plant Food Academy," "we," "us" or "our"), operated by Jon-Michael Monday, collects, uses and protects your information when you visit www.thatplantfoodguy.com (the "Site"), buy our products, apply for coaching, or join our community. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us: your name, email address and any other details you enter in forms, including email sign-ups, checkout pages and the coaching application.
  • Health information you choose to share: if you apply for or join coaching, you may share health goals, bloodwork results, medications or medical history. You never have to share this, and we only use it to coach you.
  • Payment information: payments are processed by Stripe through systeme.io. We never see or store your full card number.
  • Automatic information: like most websites, our platform may collect your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and cookies.

How we use your information

  • To deliver what you buy, including the course, the Bloodwork Blueprint, coaching and community access.
  • To review coaching applications and provide coaching.
  • To send emails you signed up for, including tips, updates and offers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
  • To answer your questions and provide support.
  • To process payments, prevent fraud and meet legal obligations.
  • To improve the Site and our products.

How we share your information

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We only share it with service providers that help us run the business, such as:

  • systeme.io (website, checkout, course hosting and email)
  • Stripe (payment processing)
  • Meta / Facebook (our private community group, which you join under Facebook's own terms and privacy policy)
  • Professional advisors, such as accountants or lawyers, and authorities when required by law.

If the business is transferred to a company we own (such as a future LLC), or is sold or merged, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction and will remain protected by this policy.

Cookies

Our platform uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, remember your preferences and understand how the Site is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work properly.

How long we keep your information

We keep your information for as long as you have an account or relationship with us, and afterward as needed for legal, tax and accounting purposes. Coaching health information is kept only as long as needed to coach you, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

How we protect your information

We use reputable, secure platforms and limit access to your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your privacy rights

  • You can ask to access the personal information we hold about you.
  • You can ask us to correct or delete your information.
  • You can opt out of marketing emails at any time.
  • California residents: under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request deletion or correction, to limit the use of sensitive personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information.
  • EU/UK residents: you may have additional rights under the GDPR, including data portability and the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

To make a request, email hello@thatplantfoodguy.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Children

The Site and our products are intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no common standard for these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last changed. Continuing to use the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and The Plant Food Academy ("The Plant Food Academy," "we," "us" or "our"), operated by Jon-Michael Monday. They apply to your use of www.thatplantfoodguy.com (the "Site") and to all of our products and services, including The Plant Food Protocol course, The Bloodwork Blueprint, 1:1 coaching, the private community and any free content (together, the "Services"). By using the Site or buying anything from us, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to buy or use the Services.

2. Not medical advice

The Services are for educational and informational purposes only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and no doctor-patient relationship is created. Always talk to your doctor before changing your diet, exercise or medications, especially if you have a medical condition or take medication for cholesterol, blood sugar or blood pressure. Please read our full Health & Results Disclaimer, which is part of these Terms.

3. Purchases and payment plans

  • Prices are listed in U.S. dollars and may change at any time. Changes will not affect orders already placed.
  • Payments are processed securely by Stripe through systeme.io.
  • If you choose a payment plan, you agree to pay every installment on schedule, even if you stop using the Services. If a payment fails or is cancelled, we may pause or remove your access until your account is paid in full.
  • Filing a chargeback or payment dispute instead of contacting us first may result in permanent loss of access to all Services.

4. Refunds

All sales are final. Please read our Refund Policy before you buy.

5. "Lifetime access"

"Lifetime access" to the course and The Plant Food Academy private community means access for as long as The Plant Food Academy continues to offer them. It refers to the life of the program, not the life of the purchaser. The private community is hosted on a third-party platform (currently Facebook), and we may modify, relocate, suspend or discontinue the course, the community, or access to either at any time and for any reason. We do not guarantee that any content, platform or community will remain available indefinitely.

6. 1:1 coaching

  • Coaching is by application only, and we may accept or decline any application at our discretion.
  • The program length, check-in schedule and how to reach your coach are described in your coaching offer. Coaching is time-limited and ends when the program period ends, whether or not all sessions or messages were used.
  • Coaching is nutrition education and accountability, not medical care. You are responsible for your own health decisions and for involving your doctor.

7. Your license to use our content

When you buy a product, you get a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use it for your own personal use. You may not share your login, copy, record, resell, redistribute, publicly post or create derivative products from any of our content, including videos, PDFs, handbooks and community posts. We may terminate access without refund if these rules are broken.

8. Community rules

Be respectful. No harassment, hate speech, spam, self-promotion or sharing of course content outside the group. Do not give medical advice to other members. We may remove anyone from the community, without refund, for breaking these rules.

9. Intellectual property

All content on the Site and in the Services, including text, videos, images, graphics, logos, the names "The Plant Food Academy," "The Plant Food Protocol," "The Bloodwork Blueprint" and "@thatplantfoodguy," is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark law. See our Copyright Notice.

10. User content

If you post comments, testimonials, photos or results, you keep ownership, but you give us permission to use, display and share them (including on social media and the Site) to promote the Services. We will not share your health information or bloodwork publicly without your permission.

11. Third-party services

The Services rely on third-party platforms such as systeme.io, Stripe and Facebook. We are not responsible for their availability, policies or actions.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee any specific health, fitness, weight loss or bloodwork results.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, The Plant Food Academy and its owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or any personal injury or health outcome, arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless The Plant Food Academy and its owner from any claims, damages or expenses arising from your use of the Services or your breach of these Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a dispute arises, please contact us first at hello@thatplantfoodguy.com so we can try to resolve it informally. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be handled in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.

16. Assignment

We may transfer these Terms, and all of our rights and obligations under them, to any business entity we own or create (such as a future limited liability company) or to a successor, without notice to you. You may not transfer your rights or access to anyone else.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version. Continuing to use the Services after changes means you accept them.

Health & Results Disclaimer

Educational purposes only

All content from The Plant Food Academy and @thatplantfoodguy, including the Site, courses, PDFs, coaching, community posts, emails and social media, is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for advice from your doctor or another qualified health professional.

Not a medical professional

Jon-Michael Monday is not a licensed physician or registered dietitian. Nothing we share creates a doctor-patient or dietitian-client relationship.

Talk to your doctor

Always consult your doctor before making changes to your diet, exercise, supplements or medications. This is especially important if you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition, have a history of disordered eating, or take medication for cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure or blood thinning, since your doses may need adjusting as your numbers change. Never ignore or delay professional medical advice because of something you learned from us.

Personal experience

Bloodwork numbers, photos and results shared by Jon-Michael reflect his personal experience. Lab values may come from different tests and dates. Any rankings or comparisons generated by AI tools are estimates for illustration only, not scientific findings.

Results vary

Results depend on many factors, including genetics, health history, starting point, consistency and effort. Testimonials and examples are not typical and are not a guarantee or promise that you will achieve the same or similar results.

Research and sources

We do our best to share accurate, evidence-based information and cite sources where possible. Nutrition science changes over time, and we do not guarantee that all information is complete, current or error-free.

Assumption of risk

By using our content and Services, you accept full responsibility for your health decisions and agree that The Plant Food Academy and its owner are not liable for any outcome resulting from them.

Affiliate links

Some links we share may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we use or believe in.

Refund Policy

All sales are final

Because our products are digital and delivered instantly, or involve reserving personal time with a coach, all sales are final and non-refundable. This applies to:

  • The Plant Food Protocol course (including payment plans)
  • The Bloodwork Blueprint
  • Any other digital products

1:1 coaching

Coaching fees are non-refundable once your program has started. If you cancel before your first coaching session, contact us and we will refund your payment. After the program starts, you remain responsible for all remaining installments on a payment plan.

Payment plans

Choosing a payment plan is a commitment to pay the full price. Stopping or failing a payment does not cancel the remaining balance, and access may be paused until your account is current.

Duplicate or accidental charges

If you were charged twice or charged by mistake, email hello@thatplantfoodguy.com within 14 days and we will fix it.

Questions before you buy?

We are happy to answer them. Email hello@thatplantfoodguy.com before purchasing so you can be confident the program is right for you.
