With all the talk of food pyramids lately, I had the thought about the symbols we’ve collectively used to talk about our relationship with food. When you think about food, which image feels more natural to you: a pyramid or a circle? 🔻🔺⭕️🔴

Shapes are not neutral. Shapes carry information. They shape how we think, how we feel, and how we relate. They are symbolic and energetic. Long before we analyze a nutrition model, we respond to its form.

A pyramid is directional and structured. It reflects a traditionally yang energetic: linear, rising up, pointed, powerful, goal-oriented, hierarchical. It tells you where things belong. What is higher, what is lower. What to strive for and what to limit. For some people, that structure feels supportive. It gives them safety and stability. I see it as the shape of the solar plexus chakra of power and energy. Energy rises up and out.

A circle carries a complementary, traditionally yin energy. It is receptive, connective, soft with no angles, flowing, and rhythmic. There is no top and no bottom. Everything just kind of blends together in a collective mass of energy, ready for creation, like a cell. Nothing is ranked. Nothing is excluded. Circles reflect how life actually organizes itself. I see the circle as connected to the sacral chakra of relationships. Energy moves bidirectionally, rhythmically.

The shapes we use to teach food quietly shape our relationship with it. A pyramid can emphasize stability, structure, and hierarchy. It can provide direction, guidance, and support. A circle invites awareness, flexibility, and attunement to rhythm. This is not about choosing one energy over another. Structure and flow both matter. But when nourishment is rooted in nature’s cycles and the body’s clock, it begins to feel less like a rulebook and more like a relationship. It feels natural and nourishing...

When you picture nourishment, which shape brings you into your relationship with food? That question alone can give perspective into your connection with food...⭕️🔻🔸⚪️💠🌀🟪⭐️

Food for thought!

🌈 In a recent webinar, someone asked me if we could map foods to body parts. This reminded me of the old Doctrine of Signatures, where healers believed the look of a food revealed its connection to the body.

While not every food resembles the organ it may influence, color itself offers a powerful language. In The Rainbow Diet, I explore how colors in food correspond with body systems, blending science with symbolism.

Here is a small sample of some of those correlations, showing how foods, their key plant compounds, and color can be viewed through this rainbow lens.

✨ Which color on your plate is calling to you today?

In Wyoming, where the cold is snow joke,
We set off for a feast, not expecting to choke.
With turkey and pies, the car was packed,
But then came the snow, and boy, we were whacked!

The snowstorm hit, fierce and flurry-ous,
Our Thanksgiving trip suddenly quite brrr-illiant and curious.
Stuck in the white, our situation was fowl,
But our spirits remained anything but foul.

"We’re snowed in!" I cried, with some flair,
"We might as well eat; it's only fair."
So we gobbled the turkey, with snow regret,
Cran-buried in snow, but not upset.

The gravy was poured like the snow from the skies,
And the mashed potatoes made for mushy goodbyes.
The stuffing was stuffed into our mouths with glee,
In a blizzard, what better place to be?

We pied our way through dessert, a flaky affair,
In the eye of the storm, without a spare.
The pumpkin pie, a slice of bliss-ter cold,
A sweet ending, if I may be so bold.

But then we thought of our paw friends, so dear,
Waiting at home, with their tail-wagging cheer.
Six doggies dreaming of scraps, a Thanksgiving feast,
But we’d eaten it all, to say the least!

Finally home, their fur-rowed brows told tales,
Of a Thanksgiving missed, as big as whales!
With apawlogies, we hugged our furry crew,
In Wyoming’s cold, where Thanksgiving snow flew.

So here’s to the doggies, who missed the fun,
Next time, we’ll save you a bun!
In the howl-ing winds, one thing is clear,
Thanksgiving in Wyoming is pawsitively dear!

Healing has become deeply entrenched in science; however, let’s not forget that it is also the art of the soul.
