Everyone Should
Care About Their Blood Sugar
Ever wondered about the ups and downs of your daily energy levels?
It often comes down to blood sugar balance. This balance is vital in so many aspects of our health. But when we consistently flood our bodies with excessive glucose it sends us on a relentless cycle of highs and lows.
These fluctuations affect us deeply, on multiple levels. From triggering intense cravings and causing fatigue to disrupting our sleep patterns and inducing mood swings, the influence on our physical and mental health is profound.
Are You Ready to Transform the
Way You Eat and Feel?
I was genuinely stunned by how I felt during this program. I was already eating a mostly whole food diet and had previously done a program with a holistic dietitian, so I didn’t expect this to be a huge change. HOLY COW YOU GUYS. My energy and mood and mental clarity were off the charts. It’s a feeling that I’ve been searching for and just thought wasn’t accessible to me anymore.
Eating “Healthy” vs. Optimally
A “healthy” plate of food could still send your body on a blood sugar roller coaster,
but an “optimal” meal will only cause a gentle rise.
“Healthy” Overnight Oats
They may seem like similar meals, but the response in blood sugar rise is drastic - a 33pt difference. Why?
Because it's not just about what you eat,
but how you combine your foods.
The secret in our recipes is in the balance—mixing carbs with the right
proteins and fats to help keep your blood sugar steady.
TBC Sets You Up to Succeed
step towards achieving them.
Here, we focus on the joy of more, not the stress of less. Every meal, including desserts, should support balanced blood sugar AND be a joy to eat. You’ll become more in tune with your body and hunger cues—and be able to move beyond rigidly counting calories.
Because whether you're seeking more energy, better rest, hormonal balance, less pain, or just want to cook healthier meals for your family, mastering your blood sugar balance will be transformative.

Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m Brigid Titgemeier
Seventeen years ago my doctor told me “nutrition has nothing to do with your condition.” But my personal experience told a different story. After diving into the research, I realized that my story is the story of hundreds of thousands of others who have improved their condition, eliminated symptoms and restored health by leveraging the power of nutrition and lifestyle.
After working in healthcare and academia over the last decade and helping more than 5,000 clients transform their health, I built Being Functional Nutrition to give you the education, personalization and support that you need to get in the driver’s seat and transform your own health. Nutrition belongs at the center of your healthcare and we are committed to creating change and helping you do just that.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of guiding more than 20,000 individuals on their transformative health journeys. This experience highlighted a common challenge: the need for a comprehensive tool to overcome the final hurdles in maintaining consistent health practices. With this in mind, I developed The Being Collective, a resource crafted to provide the essential support, education, and community you need to sustain your health transformation journey effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Here are some helpful answers about The Being Collective.
I don't eat ________. Can I still be a part of The Being Collective?
Our tools and community are personalized, so we cater to many different dietary needs. For example, you’ll be able to filter by most dietary restrictions. We also provide a swap bank so you can swap out ingredients in certain recipes for ones that work for you, like switching out an animal ingredient for a vegan substitute.
Will this work for me even if I eat out a lot or have a busy social life?
Yes! We can help you plan for outings just as we can help you plan to meal prep. The Being Collective helps you to visualize what your schedule looks like, so you can plan what to order when you eat out and be more intentional about your meals when eating in. After all, it’s all about flexibility, right?!
Is The Being Collective family friendly?
We offer lots of family friendly meals that are “kid approved” by many of our clients and our own team members’ children. Plus you can adjust serving sizes in our recipes to accommodate for any family size. Our community also has helpful tips, sharing ways they’ve incorporated our recipes into their family meal times.
How is this different from other meal planning services?
Our exclusive recipes are easy to make, taste wonderful and help you use food as medicine. They are strategically formulated, dietitian approved and have been tested on a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) so you can be sure they can help balance your blood sugar. But we are so much more than recipes in a meal planning tool.
Connect with others in our community that have the same goals (and struggles and questions!) as you do. Continue learning with educational modules and a weekly Q&A session that you can watch later if you miss the live event. We also help you plan for dining out, dessert, alcoholic beverages and specific objectives (like eating meals with more carbs) to make this more realistic as a long term lifestyle.
Our expert coaching and community are here to help keep you learning, striving, motivated and feeling great about what you’re accomplishing. You don’t feel alone, and even when you’re feeling defeated, you have a community to lift you up and help you stay consistent.
How difficult are the meals? I don't have a lot of time and/or I don't like to cook.
All of our recipes are 20 minutes of hands-on time, or less, with most being about 5-10 minutes of hands-on time! This is a perfect solution if you love delicious food but don’t have time or motivation for an intensive recipe at every meal. It’s also great if you like to cook, but struggle to stay on top of a meal plan week to week.
Do I need a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to participate?
Not at all! A CGM is helpful for seeing your personal response to food, but not required. Blood sugar response data via CGM will be provided within most recipes, so you have a general idea of someone else’s response. It’s not a perfect science but gives you a general idea that the recipe can support stable blood sugar levels.
However, if you do incorporate a CGM into your healthy eating practice, one thing that’s important to keep in mind is that CGM data varies. It differs from person to person and sometimes even the same person can get a different reading depending on several factors like when they ate the meal, their stress levels at the time, their quality of sleep and more. We test all of our recipes, but please note there will be (and should be) variation.
Is this a diet and/or weight loss plan?
All of our recipes support optimal weight, but are more intended to help you use food to fuel your health consistently, long term. We do provide nutritional information for every recipe.
What is the cost? Do I get a discount if I subscribe for longer?
The Being Collective is a membership based meal planning tool and community. The price is $35 per month. You can cancel anytime.
To save, try a quarterly plan for $90 per quarter. It saves you $5 per month. A yearly plan is only $270, which saves you $150 for the year!

For quarterly and annual members, you can cancel your subscription at any time through the membership portal. After canceling your subscription, you will continue to have access to your account until the end of your current billing period. We do not offer refunds.
