Have you ever wondered why some people thrive on structured meal plans while others feel trapped by them? Or why certain people love trying new foods while others stick to their tried-and-true favorites? The way we eat isn’t just about nutrition—it’s deeply connected to our personalities, habits, and mindset around food.

That’s exactly why one-size-fits-all diets don’t work. They ignore the unique ways we relate to food, leading to frustration, burnout, and an endless cycle of starting over. Instead of forcing yourself into a plan that doesn’t fit, imagine if you could work with your natural tendencies instead of against them. That’s where Eating Archetypes come in.

What is an Eating Archetype?

Your Eating Archetype is your food personality—a reflection of your habits, mindset, and approach to eating. It influences everything from the way you meal prep (or don’t!) to how you handle food at social events. When you understand your archetype, you can stop battling yourself and start making food choices that feel effortless and sustainable.
