✦ Get Started Guide

Welcome to the
Whole Health Community

Your complete guide to getting set up on Telegram so you never miss exclusive content, daily briefs, and community conversation.

⏱ Takes about 5 minutes — follow the steps below, one at a time.
1

Download Telegram

If you already have it, skip to Step 2
  1. Tap the button above for your phone (iPhone or Android)
  2. Wait for the app to download — takes about 30 seconds
  3. Open Telegram and sign in with your phone number
  4. Enter the verification code that gets texted to you
  5. That's it — you're on Telegram
✓ Already have Telegram? Great — make sure it's updated to the latest version, then skip to Step 2.

Add Telegram to Your Home Screen

So you can find it easily later
  1. Find the Telegram app on your iPhone (blue icon, white paper airplane)
  2. Press and hold the icon until all your apps start wiggling
  3. Drag it to your home screen's first page so it's easy to find
  4. Tap "Done" in the top-right corner
  1. Open your app drawer and find Telegram
  2. Press and hold the icon until a menu pops up
  3. Select "Add to Home screen"
  4. Confirm — it'll now sit on your main screen
💡 Why do this? Telegram can get buried in a folder — it's easier if it's right on your home screen.

Join "The Mountain" Channel

Where all important announcements go

The Mountain is our main channel for everything: announcements, daily briefs, milestones, and updates all come through here.

It's a one-way channel — meaning only our team posts here, so every message matters.

  1. Tap the "Join The Mountain" button above
  2. It will open Telegram automatically
  3. Tap "Join" at the bottom of the screen
  4. You're in — you'll now see messages from us here
⚠ Keep notifications ON for this channel — you'll get important updates and announcements here.

Join the Whole Health Community Group

Where the community lives
💬

This is the real community — where you'll chat daily, share wins, talk health, and connect with everyone here.

It's a group — meaning everyone can post and chat with each other.

  1. Tap the "Join Whole Health Community" button above
  2. Telegram will open automatically
  3. Tap "Join" at the bottom of the screen
  4. You can now chat with everyone in the group
🤔 What's the difference? The Mountain = announcements from us. Whole Health Community = our community, our discussions.

Set Up Your Notifications

So you don't miss anything important

The community is going to be active — that's a good thing. But you don't want your phone blowing up from every message.

Here's the setup we recommend: mute the community group so your phone stays quiet, and keep The Mountain notifications on so you never miss an announcement.

Whole Health Community
The Mountain
First: mute the Whole Health Community group
  1. Open the "Whole Health Community" group in Telegram
  2. Tap the group name at the top of the screen
  3. Tap "Notifications"
  4. Select "Mute Forever"
  1. Open the "Whole Health Community" group in Telegram
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right
  3. Tap "Mute notifications"
  4. Choose "Forever"
Next: make sure The Mountain notifications are on
  1. Open "The Mountain" channel in Telegram
  2. Tap the channel name at the top
  3. Make sure "Notifications" is turned on (it's on by default)
✓ Perfect setup: you'll never miss an announcement, but your phone won't buzz all day either.

Pin Both Chats to the Top

So you always know where to find them

This way, The Mountain and Whole Health Community sit right at the top of your chat list — no more searching for them.

  1. Go to your main Telegram chats list
  2. Find "The Mountain" and swipe right on it
  3. Tap "Pin"
  4. Do the same for "Whole Health Community"
  1. Go to your main Telegram chats list
  2. Long-press "The Mountain"
  3. Tap "Pin"
