We're launching The Clean Standard Challenge — and your favorite restaurants are about to be put to the test.

No more scanning menus hoping something's clean.  

We're doing the work so you don't have to:
TO OUR AUDIENCE: Send in your favorite restaurant in the Orlando/Tampa I4 Corridor and we will challenge them to the clean standard challenge and if we pick your fav spot you could have dinner with our host on an episode of this new series and rate the food with our host. DM or Email us @ info@myrecipeforwellness.com
