• FAQs •

  • 40 days is what it takes. Enter the desert and become leaven, with no waste of time. It is the most effective window of transformation.

  • Nope. It’s evergreen. Once you have purchased the program, you have full access to it, with no time limit. Even though it’s a self-led experience, it should not be taken lightly or treated casually.

  • This is a hybrid program, meaning it has both a physical and online component. The official Leaven men’s program book will arrive to you 3-5 business days from the moment you click purchase. The online content is available to you immediately on the website.

  • To access this online content, it’s a very simple process.

    1. Type in leavenwellness.co in the search bar.

    2. Click the sign in button on the top right hand side of the home screen.

    3. Plug in your email and password you registered your account with. This is the login info you created initially when purchasing the program.

    4. Unlock the courses as you go.

  • The program is split up into 5 day sections, each revolving around a rule of Leaven. Each rule has its daily content in the physical book while also providing at least 2 videos through your personal page on the website. They flow together, so make sure you stay on track.

    The 8 rules collectively serve as an abiding remedy to the fourfold rupture caused by sin and can only have their true effect with your greatest compliance and investment.

  • Yes, you do. It’s an elimination of the ultra-processed and is shaped around the new 2026 U.S. Dietary Guidelines food pyramid. The diet of locusts and honey, which you will explore in the program, is wild and ancient, focused on foods like red meats, fruit, and probiotic dairy. Despite evidence which shows that a diet such as this is optimal for human performance, contact a health care provider if you are concerned about any sudden shifts in your lifestyle and diet.

  • Relative to many wellness programs, even in the Catholic world, this program is on the cheaper end. However, the initial impression is understandable. The purpose of Leaven is really not profit (although that of course is an essential piece for the growth of the company), but it is to create a space where Catholic men can grow in holiness and reclaim health in a sick world. You’re not committing to a one-off commodity but an ongoing promise. And this promise is that Leaven could be the very avenue for real, lasting transformation in your life. In the end, it’s a small financial investment for a bigger than life return. For just 200 dollars, you have a robust, scientific-based exploration of health and a Catholic retreat all in one at your fingertips, which is not bound by a monthly fee. Once you buy it, you hold the key in your hand that no one can take away.

  • The membership is a future development of Leaven which all buyers of the program will have availability to. Whoever purchases the program will qualify for a subscribed monthly membership, which will give men an opportunity to connect with Leaven brothers in real time and gain special access to events, discounts, exclusive content, and 1 on 1 sessions with Colton Hage, NTP, to dig deeper and optimize body + soul health.

  • When you become leaven, the invitation and even expectation is that you continue to feed it. Becoming leaven doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll remain activated! Leaven very easily grows dormant and stagnant if not cultivated. Likewise, evangelization has not ceased until the whole culture has been transformed.

    So, start a Leaven chapter at your parish, be engaged with the Leaven community, and continue to learn where your body and soul feel the most alive, so that you can testify to the healing power of Christ and enliven the world around you. You can always return to the desert to be further formed, and if you crave more, then keep an eye out for the future membership opportunity. The launch date is TBD.
