Human Design Diets Explained: Your Best Way to Eat + Process Information
In this episode, we start with a check-in on the current Mercury retrograde, continuing the conversation from our last episode. We share a few things we’ve both been noticing, experiencing, and reflecting on during this retrograde cycle, the patterns we’re seeing collectively, and how this particular transit is showing up in real time for us.
From there, we shift into the main topic: your Diet or Determination in Human Design. This is about how your body is designed to digest food, information, experiences, and life itself.
We explore the top left arrow in the bodygraph, what it reveals about your digestion style, and the difference between a left-facing (active) and right-facing (receptive) digestion.
Then we walk through all six Human Design diets: Appetite, Taste, Thirst, Touch, Sound, and Light. We break down each diet and what it means to have a left vs. right arrow for each. Whether you’re someone who thrives on routine, needs variety, prefers quiet meals, or feels best in buzzy spaces, these Determinations illuminate why your digestion works the way it does and how honoring it can bring more ease into your life.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by PHS or confused about the “Human Design diets,” this episode breaks everything down in a gentle, grounded, and accessible way. Consider this your supportive guide to reconnecting with the way your body is designed to take in the world.
