For Omnivores: Nourishing from a Balanced Plate

  • Quality Protein
    Include lean meats (chicken, turkey), wild fish, eggs, and fermented dairy. Opt for grass-fed and organic when possible.

  • Plant Foods as the Base
    Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds should make up at least 70% of your diet.

  • Healthy Fats
    Embrace olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds. Limit saturated fats and avoid trans fats and seed oils.

  • Limit Processed Foods
    Keep sugar, refined carbs, and ultra-processed items to a minimum.

  • Diversity is Key
    Eat the rainbow — a wide variety of plant foods supports gut health and reduces disease risk.

  • Support Gut Health
    Include fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, or kimchi regularly.

For Plant-Based Diets: Thriving with Conscious Choices

  • Whole Foods First
    Base your meals around legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds.

  • Watch Protein
    Combine sources like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, and hemp seeds to ensure a full range of amino acids.

  • Boost Vitamin B12
    Supplement with B12 or eat fortified foods — essential for nerve health and energy. Mushrooms are a rich source of B12.

  • Mind Iron & Zinc
    Use iron-rich foods like lentils, spinach, and pumpkin seeds. Pair with vitamin C for better absorption.

  • Omega-3s Matter
    Include flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, or algae-based supplements for healthy brain and heart function.

  • Calcium & Vitamin D
    Use fortified plant milks, leafy greens, and get safe sun exposure or supplement where needed.

  • Limit Processed Vegan Foods
    Just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean it’s healthy — choose whole over factory-made.

 Shared Wisdom for All Diets

  • Eat mindfully — chew slowly, listen to your body’s cues, and savor your food.

  • Hydrate well — water is essential to nutrient absorption and detoxification.

  • Plan ahead — a stocked fridge and pantry make healthy choices easier.

  • Supplements — where needed, supplements can fill small gaps, but real food should be the foundation.

  • Seasonal and local — where possible, eat in harmony with nature.

 Nourishment Beyond the Physical

Why Nutrition Matters

  • Fuels energy and vitality

  • Supports brain function and mood

  • Strengthens the immune system

  • Builds and repairs tissue

  • Helps prevent chronic illness and inflammation

  • Supports hormonal balance and healthy aging

Best Practice for Every Plate: Current Guidelines

Whether you’re an omnivore or follow a plant-based lifestyle, the foundations of good nutrition are the same: whole, minimally processed foods rich in a variety of nutrients.
