Species-Appropriate Nutrition for People

 

Whole Foods, Herbal Healing, and Root Cause Wellness

Are you feeding yourself as nature intended? Humans are omnivores by design—but being omnivorous doesn’t mean living on processed foods and synthetic supplements. Like the horses, dogs, and cats we care for, our bodies thrive on species-appropriate nutrition: real food from both animal and plant sources.

At Wholehearted Harmony, I believe herbs are not optional—they’re foundational. Historically, herbs were part of daily life, supporting both nourishment and healing. Today, they remain critical to restoring balance, addressing root cause issues, and supporting vibrant wellness—both inside and out.

​

What Does a Species-Appropriate Human Diet Look Like?

• Unprocessed Animal Proteins: Grass-fed/finished meats, wild-caught fish, organ meats, and nourishing bone broths.

• Healthy Fats: Pasture-raised butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and animal fats.

• Real Plant Foods: Fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and whole grains (as tolerated).

• Minimal to No Processed Foods: Avoid refined sugars, processed flours, industrial oils, and synthetic additives.

A species-appropriate diet honors your body’s evolutionary needs, supporting not just survival—but true vitality.

Herbs: Nature’s Original Medicine for Humans

Internal Healing with Herbs

Herbs are whole, functional foods rich in phytonutrients that help restore cellular function, regulate inflammation, and support detoxification pathways. Properly formulated herbal blends work synergistically to address root causes—not just symptoms.

Herbs can support:

• Liver and lymphatic detoxification

• Mineral replenishment

• Inflammation regulation

• Hormonal and nervous system balance

• Digestive health and comfort

 

Important: Herbs are most effective when used in synergistic blends. Single herbs can’t address complex root causes alone. At Wholehearted Harmony, every blend is crafted intentionally—to promote deep, layered healing without overwhelming the body.

​

Herbal Teas: Simple, Foundational, and Functional

One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to nourish your body with herbs is through herbal teas. Whether warm or iced, herbal infusions deliver gentle, steady support that feels like a daily act of self-care.

Herbal teas can help support:

• Healthy blood sugar balance

• Reduced inflammation

• Lymphatic flow and gentle detoxification

• Nervous system calm and stress reduction

• Metabolic support and energy balance

• Joint and bone health

• Immune resilience

Incorporating herbal teas into your daily life is a simple yet powerful way to let plants support your natural healing. At Wholehearted Harmony, I believe herbs aren’t extras—they’re essential nourishment. Sipping herbal tea is one of the most practical ways to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom.

​

External Healing with Herbs

Herbs don’t just support internal health—they nurture from the outside in. Herbal salves, creams, and soaps promote skin health, tissue repair, and overall wellness through topical nourishment.

Herbal Topical Support Includes:

• Salves to soothe wounds, rashes, and skin irritation

• Creams to calm inflammation and nourish sensitive skin

• Herbal baths to relax muscles, promote detoxification, and calm the nervous system

 

Nourishing the body externally is just as essential as internal healing.

Why Processed Foods and Synthetic Supplements Fall Short

Processed, industrialized foods are biologically mismatched to human physiology. High-heat processing, chemical additives, and synthetic vitamins disrupt digestion, suppress nutrient absorption, and often worsen inflammation.

Whole foods and herbs offer nutrient synergy—delivering nutrition in the form your body recognizes and uses most efficiently.

​

Root Cause Healing: Nourish to Heal

Chronic fatigue, skin issues, digestive upset, hormonal imbalance, and inflammation aren’t random—they’re signals from your body. Suppressing them with medications or synthetic supplements isn’t healing.

True healing begins when you nourish your body with whole, species-appropriate foods, thoughtfully crafted herbal blends, and daily functional support like herbal teas. This approach restores balance at the root.

​

Nourish from Within—and Without

At Wholehearted Harmony, I believe complete nourishment means supporting every layer of your being:

• Whole, real foods to nourish your body

• Synergistically blended herbs to restore internal balance

• Herbal teas for simple, daily plant-based nourishment

• Herbal salves, creams, and soaps to heal from the outside in
