Since each of our bodies is unique, collective nutritional advice is generally unproductive. So rather than follow cyclical diet trends that go from one extreme to the next, practice tuning into your body to sense which foods you feel guided to eat and how your body responds after ingesting them (energetically & physically). Build a relationship with your system that lets you recognize its signals for when a particular food does or does not agree with you — in even the subtlest of ways — and honor it by taking its advice. In doing so, you will naturally come to build a personalized nutrition plan that best supports your unique system, and most importantly, allows for regular adjustments per your body’s natural intelligence. 

Stick with eating whole foods from the earth – whether it be fruits, vegetables, animals, dairy, grains, plants, or legumes – you pick. But whichever you choose, apply the practice of sensing how you feel when eating it, noticing what it does to your energy, clarity, or creativity, and how your body responds to it afterwards (stomach, skin, digestion, etc.). 

Do your best to disregard all of the conditioning and programming we’ve received around nutrition over the course of our lifetime – including the food pyramid, the portions sizes, the macronutrient breakdowns per meal, the trendy diets, the supplemental requirements, the number of times to eat daily, etc. Instead honor the cues of your internal guidance system. 

Human Design can help clue you into how your body will communicate with you (authority) and how your digestion is best supported (digestion). Consider looking at your design for some insight if you’re new to this practice and/or overwhelmed by the process.

  • Opt for organic, regenerative, grass-fed, pasture-raised, and/or wild whenever possible to best support your natural body.
  • As your body naturally evolves overtime, your nutritional needs will evolve too. Allow for adjustments as often as needed – whether it be day over day or year over year. 
  • Everything is energy – including the food we eat. The energy you put into your food while making it or eating it is the energy that will be absorbed into your body when it's ingested. 
  • Take it slow and be gentle with yourself – start by adjusting one meal or even one ingredient rather than overhauling your entire diet at once. You can continue to make small adjustments based on what you discover along the way.
