The 4-Month Program
The program, and how to start
What is BLIRM, in one sentence?
A 4-month, one-on-one program to put your food, rest and stress routines in order, in the right order, with me beside you the whole way. BLIRM stands for Balance Life Integral Recovery Method, the method I created.
Who is it for?
Men and women, most of them between 40 and 65, who have tried many things, are tired of piecing advice together alone, and are ready to take an active part.
Who is it not for?
Anyone looking for a quick fix, a diagnosis, emergency care, or someone else to do the work.
How do I start?
With a free call with me, up to 30 minutes. You tell me about your days; I tell you honestly whether BLIRM fits. If you’d rather listen first, come to a free talk. I give each one in English and in Spanish. Next topic: Unhurried Meals.
What happens on the free call?
Three things. You tell me what your days look like. I show you how the four months would work for you. And within 24 hours you get your call summary by email: the one program I recommend, the price, and a secure link to join. It’s about routines and next steps; nothing medical goes in writing.
Is the call a sales call?
It’s a conversation, not a pitch. I share the investment because it’s part of deciding. Then the decision is yours, at your own pace.
What’s included in the 4-Month Program?
Eight private video sessions (two a month), WhatsApp with me every Tuesday and Thursday, a live group session every two weeks, a written plan updated each month, and your plan, guides and audios by email and WhatsApp.
How long are the sessions, and when?
60 minutes, by video, on weekdays at times we choose together. If you work full-time, tell me on the call and we’ll find a slot that works.
What are the WhatsApp hours?
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 am to 5 pm Costa Rica time (1 to 7 pm Eastern; noon to 6 pm Eastern from November to March).
How much of my time does it take each week?
About 5 to 8 hours, including our sessions. The rest is daily habits, about an hour a day, a little more in month 2, Clearing.
Is it all online?
Yes. Video sessions, WhatsApp and email, wherever you live. If you happen to be in Costa Rica on the day I’m at America Dental, one session can be in person.
What if I travel during the four months?
Sessions are online, so you can join from wherever you are, or we move the dates around your plans. The plan travels with you.
English or Spanish?
Both. Choose the one you think in.
Where do my plan and materials live?
Your plan, guides and audios come to you by email and WhatsApp while your private client space opens. When it opens, you get in with your email and a 6-digit code, or with Google. No password to remember.
What happens after the four months?
You leave with a plan you can keep on your own. If you’d like to stay connected afterward, I’ll tell you what’s available then.
Is there a smaller way to start?
Yes: the 21-Day Challenge, for $47. Twenty-one short lessons, one habit at a time, with a live group session each week. It’s the only thing you can buy directly on this site. Leave your email on the challenge page and I’ll tell you when it opens.
Payments
Prices and payments
How much is the 4-Month Program?
$1,650 paid in full · or 4 × $450 ($1,800 total)
Why isn’t there a “buy” button?
Because everything above $47 starts with a conversation. After your free call, your call summary brings the secure link to join. It’s one door for everyone, and it keeps me from selling you something that doesn’t fit.
Is the price the same for everyone?
Yes. One price for everyone, wherever you find me: this site, a talk, the clinic, a friend. No special editions, no hidden fees.
Is paying in full cheaper?
Yes. Paying in full costs less than the payment plan. The difference is the cost of spreading the payments over several months.
How can I pay?
By card, PayPal or Apple Pay, through a secure checkout (Whop). In Costa Rica, by SINPE Móvil or bank transfer, in colones.
How do the monthly payments work?
Four payments, charged automatically on the same day each month by Whop. You see every date and amount before you pay, and you authorize them in the checkout. The plan ends by itself after the fourth payment: it isn’t a subscription and nothing renews. Your receipts arrive by email.
What if a payment doesn’t go through?
You get an email to update your card, and your sessions continue while you fix it. If it still hasn’t gone through after 7 days, your access pauses until it does. The exact rule is in the Terms.
What if, after the first session, it isn’t for me?
Tell me within 48 hours of that session, by email or WhatsApp. You won’t be charged again. If you paid in full, I refund everything except the value of that session: $225 in the 4-Month Program, so you get $1,425 back. On a payment plan, I refund half of your first payment; the other half covers that session. After those 48 hours, the program continues as agreed. I call it a clear exit, not a guarantee, because that’s exactly what it is. The full rule, including The Whole Way, is in the Terms.
Does the challenge have a refund?
Yes: a 7-day money-back guarantee. Write to hello@blirmmethod.com within 7 days of your purchase and you get all of it back, no questions asked. After day 7 there are no refunds, and you keep every lesson.
Can I pause?
Life happens. Yes: once, for up to 30 days, with written notice. Your sessions and WhatsApp move by the same number of days.
Do I get a receipt?
Yes. Every payment has a receipt, sent to your email, ready for your accountant.
Dental line
The Whole Way (coming to Costa Rica for dental work)
What is The Whole Way?
Support around your dental treatment, designed with America Dental in Escazú, Costa Rica. Whole Way Essentials and Between Stages also work if you’re treated at another clinic. The clinic takes care of your teeth. I take care of the part around it: preparing for the trip, meals and rest while you recover, your nerves, and the months between visits. Its full name is The Whole Way · by America Dental, with BLIRM Method.
Do I need it to get my dental work done?
No. It’s optional, and your dental care is exactly the same either way.
Which program is for me?
Three questions, and the first “yes” decides. Are old metal (amalgam) fillings being replaced? Whole Way Complete. Will you come back for another stage of treatment? Whole Way Between Stages. One trip, one treatment, or simply nerves? Whole Way Essentials. We confirm it together on the free call.
What if I have a dental question while I recover?
Contact America Dental directly. I always send dental questions to the clinic.
Does the clinic pay you for referrals?
No. No referral fees, in either direction. Each team charges for its own services, and you pay the same price wherever you find me.
Is my information shared between the clinic and Fanny?
Only what you authorize in writing, and only to coordinate your care. Nothing is shared without that.
Health and limits
Health, and the limits of what I do
Does BLIRM replace my doctor?
No. BLIRM complements your medical care; it never replaces it. Your doctor takes care of the medical side. I help with the daily routines only you can do.
Will you ask me to stop a medication or a treatment?
Never. Any change like that is a conversation between you and your doctor.
Can I share my plan with my doctor?
Yes, please do. I’ll be glad if you do.
Do you work with serious or complex conditions?
Yes, often. Many people come to me while they live with a serious illness, cancer included, and that kind of accompaniment is part of my work. Your doctor stays in charge of your treatment; I work alongside them. On the free call we talk about where you are, and I’ll tell you honestly whether BLIRM is right for you now. If you’re pregnant or living with an eating disorder, please talk to your doctor first.
What if something urgent happens?
Call your doctor or 911 (or your local emergency number). WhatsApp with me is for questions about your plan, not for emergencies.
Is it a diet, a fast or a cleanse?
No. We start from how you live today and change a few things at a time. No fasting, no cleanses.
Do you promise results?
No, and I won’t. I can promise a clear plan in the right order, eight sessions, my time twice a week, and honesty. The rest is the part only you can do, alongside your doctor.
Is Fanny a doctor?
No. I’m an Integrative Nutrition and Holistic Health Expert based in Costa Rica, currently completing a Grand Master in Integrative Medicine. I’ve been walking beside people since 2012, in English and Spanish.
Your data
Privacy
Do you ask for health information on this website?
No. None of my forms ask about symptoms, diagnoses or medications. Please don’t add them in a message either.
What do the forms collect?
Your first name, your email and your language, plus the one thing each form is for: the talk you chose, the list you joined, or your map’s profile. That’s it.
What happens to my BLIRM Map answers?
They stay on your screen. If you ask for your map by email, I keep your name, email, language, your profile and the month it points to. Never your answers.
Do you use cookies or advertising pixels?
No advertising cookies and no pixels anywhere on this site. On The Whole Way pages, nothing from Meta, Google Ads or anyone else.
Is what I write to you private?
Yes. What you write to me by email or WhatsApp reaches only me. Your private client space, when it opens, will hold only your path and your logistics (name, email, program, appointments, materials, payments), never health details. Health details live only in a separate, secured record, with a consent you sign before we start.
Which laws protect me?
Costa Rica’s data protection law (Law 8968) and, if you live in Washington State, the My Health My Data Act, among others. You can ask to see, correct or delete your information anytime.
How do I unsubscribe, or ask you to delete my data?
One click at the bottom of any email, or write to hello@blirmmethod.com. I’ll confirm when it’s done.
The free call
Still have a question?
The easiest way is to ask me on the call. Free, up to 30 minutes, and you leave with a clear answer either way.
