Meet the Archetypes
A Guided Path to Eating Like You Remember
We all have a unique journey when it comes to food — shaped by habits, memories, culture, convenience, and care. The Eat Like You Remember archetypes aren’t here to label you — they’re here to help you see yourself more clearly, honor where you are now, and guide your next steps with compassion and confidence.
Think of them like characters in your personal food story. You might recognize yourself in just one, or a mix of several. There’s no right or wrong place to be — just a direction to grow.
Each archetype comes with:
A unique mindset and meal style
Common challenges and blind spots
A personalized starter kit to help you reconnect with real nourishment
A next step when you're ready to evolve
This isn’t about judgment. It’s about remembering.
Let’s meet your inner kitchen crew…
