A Shift in Diet, A Shift in Perspective

Of all the energy shifts I have experienced in the past seven years, transitioning back to eating meat has raised many questions—both spiritual and practical. I know I am not alone in this process, and I would love to hear from others who have navigated a similar path from vegetarianism or veganism back to an omnivorous diet.

A Personal Journey Toward Healing

For several years, I struggled with ongoing dental issues that only seemed to worsen. Despite my diligent oral care, my body was signaling that something was missing. Through elimination, testing, and deep reflection, I came to understand that my body was not receiving the vitamins and minerals it needed.

About a year ago, I came across the book Cure Tooth Decay Naturally. While the insights resonated with me, I was not quite ready to make the shift. My chiropractor had gently suggested it as well, planting a seed that would take time to grow. Yet, after facing another significant dental issue this year, I knew it was time to reconsider. The change has led me to unravel years of dietary conditioning, questioning many of the theories I had once embraced.

Unraveling Conditioned Beliefs

This transition has been both humbling and eye-opening. How did I stray so far from my body’s instincts? How did I absorb the subtle belief that avoiding meat made me more evolved? While I had tried not to adopt a sense of superiority, I can now see how deeply those ideas were woven into my environment. The path back to balance feels like both a homecoming and a revelation.

It has also led me to wonder: Could prolonged nutritional deficiencies contribute to altered states that we interpret as spiritual experiences? Is this what dieta intends to cultivate—a temporary, heightened sensitivity rather than a long-term state of depletion? If so, should we be mindful of not prolonging such deprivation beyond its intended purpose?

Exploring Diet and Energy Sensitivity

For those who have followed a diet primarily of meat and fish, without starches like rice or yucca, how has it impacted your body and energy? My teacher includes poultry and fish in dietas, though my past experiences leaned more toward eggs and lentils. I am curious how these shifts will shape my next dieta—will my sensitivity to energy remain? How will my experiences deepen?

Of course, navigating this transition also means navigating the reactions of those who hold strong beliefs about plant-based diets. How do you handle the judgments of longtime vegetarians or vegans in your life? Do you approach it with humor, curiosity, or quiet confidence?

Reconnecting with the 3D Experience

Months after my last dieta, I feel more grounded, present, and whole. A light has switched back on, and with it, a sense of expansion. Embracing my place on this 3D plane, with full awareness, has been a profound shift. In fact, I am beginning to feel that my next step is to fully understand the cycle of life—perhaps even learning how to source and prepare my own food in the most conscious way possible.

Not everyone who follows a vegetarian diet experiences dental issues, but I have learned that it is not uncommon. Dentists, it seems, have come to expect these patterns among long-term vegetarians and vegans. While diet is only one piece of the puzzle, it has been a significant one for me.

For those curious to explore this topic further, the Weston A. Price Foundation offers a wealth of research and resources on nutrient-dense diets and ancestral health.
