The food pyramid just flipped, and honestly, it needed to.
After decades of fearing fat, limiting protein, and blaming cholesterol, we are finally seeing a return to common sense. This new pyramid emphasizes protein, full fat dairy, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables, while pushing ultra processed foods and added sugars to the margins where they belong.
There has been a long war on fat, built on a misunderstanding of cholesterol and LDL. These are not enemies. Cholesterol is a repair molecule. LDL is a transport and healing particle. When tissue is damaged, when inflammation is present, when hormones need to be made, the body uses fat and cholesterol to fix the problem. Removing fat from the diet does not protect the body, it starves it.
Low fat diets come with real consequences. Impaired hormone production. Poor brain health. Weak cell membranes. Slower repair. The brain is largely made of fat. Hormones are made from cholesterol. Healing requires lipid signaling. Fat is not optional.
What matters far more than fat quantity is fat quality. Food should be organic, non GMO, real, living food whenever possible. Ideally regeneratively farmed, raised in soil and systems that restore the land instead of depleting it. Quality changes everything.
The most important point that never gets discussed is this, the body never makes mistakes. Everything the body does is good. Symptoms are not failures, they are intelligent responses to stress, deficiency, toxicity, or injury. Most people are not sick because their body is broken. They are sick because their body is chronically starving for nutrients.
When the body lacks protein, minerals, essential fats, and micronutrients, it cannot repair. It adapts instead. Over time, those adaptations get labeled as disease.
This shift in dietary guidance, pushed forward under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., opens the door to a deeper truth. Food is not just calories. Food is information. Food is structure. Food is repair.
Feed the body what it actually needs, and it does what it has always been designed to do, heal.
Your body is not attacking you.
Your body is not failing you.
Your body is asking for support.
