Please note that your clients will need access to the Food & Mood journal to be able to see nutrient details from a nutrition plan. For more information on how you can grant your clients access to journals, click here.
Allowing your client to export their recipes and nutrition plans
When a client downloads their protocol, That Clean Life resources will not be available in the download.
If you're on That Clean Life's Plus Plan, you'll see the option to Allow exports when adding recipes, meal plans, collections, and templates to your protocol.
With this option enabled, your client will see the Export button in the embed when viewing their protocol. Clicking this will allow your client to customize the export that is emailed to them. Keep in mind that the email used is the one associated with your client's Practice Better account.
Please note: If you're not on That Clean Life's Plus Plan, we recommend sharing in That Clean Life directly and enabling the Allow Exports option. You can paste the generated link into the text content section of your protocol template.

You can search for supplements in our built in database, add custom supplements or use our Fullscript Integration.

Add Lifestyle Recommendation
This option allows you to add recommendations related detoxification, digestion, exercise, mindfulness, sleep and stress reduction.
Attach Files
There is also an option to attach files to the protocol which can be used to provide more customized resources to the client to help with their recommendations. This can be something like a short video or PDF document for additional reading. When the protocol is shared with the client they will also receive all of the attached resources.
After you have finished adding your recommendations, you can click on the Save button on the top right corner and choose on of the following options:
Save template: Choose this option to save the protocol as a template and continue editing it.
Save as new protocol: Choose this option to create a protocol based on this template for a specific client
Save as new template: Choose this option to save the current template as a new protocol template
