Learn moreDiscover your unique female archetype to combat emotional eating, lose weight, and become your happiest, healthiest you.
In working with thousands of women who wanted to lose weight and change the shape of their bodies, leading nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner Dana James observed a striking trend: no matter how diligent they were in sticking to their diet and exercise plans, old behavioral patterns and self-doubt sabotaged their efforts. In The Archetype Diet, James helps readers escape the seemingly endless psychological tug-of-war that is hampering their ability to care for themselves and explains which hormones cause you to store body fat on your belly, thighs and hips, and what to eat to change it. A revolutionary, holistic approach to weight loss, this book guides in readers in discovering which of four archetypes they embody:
· The Nurturer is always there to care for others. She is kind and compassionate, but this can come at the expense of her own self-care.
· The Wonder Woman bases her self-worth on her accomplishments. She is ambitious and driven, but her work often takes precendent over her diet.
· The Femme Fatale is sensual, strong, and alluring but can become obsessed with her looks to the point that she develops an unhealthy relationship with food.
· The Ethereal is spiritual and intuitive, but highly sensitive to her environment so she tends to eat to numb her reactions to the world.
By becoming attuned to your archetype, James shows how you can alter your diet to help feed your unique body chemistry while simultaneously examining how your sense of self-worth shapes your behaviors—including what you eat—in ways that may be working against your goals. Offering recipes, a ten-day meal plan, and a step-by-step psychological intervention, The Archetype Diet will put you on the path to becoming leaner, stronger, and more attuned to your feminine fire and energy.
Includes a Bonus PDF with meal plans, recipes, exercises, and the full appendices.

Reviews
"Putting self-worth at the center of the weight loss conversation is eye-opening. This book is a must-read for any woman struggling with her body image. Learn how to value yourself and your body through Dana's soulful wisdom and guidance."- Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back
"I’m so excited for all the women who will read The Archetype Diet and say to themselves, “Finally, someone understands me!” Having shared hundreds of patients with Dana, I have known the quality of her work as a nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner for over a decade now. She empowers women to see and accept themselves for who they are through psychology and nutrition. And now you have access to this brilliant guidance in her much-needed first book. The Archetype Diet embodies the element of individuality we all strive for in functional medicine. It will certainly change the way you look at yourself and dieting forever!”
- Vincent Pedre, MD—gut guru and bestselling author of Happy Gut—The Cleansing Program to Help You Lose Weight, Gain Energy, and Eliminate Pain
"Dana James reveals the simple but powerful wisdom of the feminine archetypes. This is a bold, fresh take on inner and outer beauty for women at any age, with an effective diet and lifestyle plan to back it up, and plenty of emotional support as well--a whole program that addresses mind, body, and spirit. Dana guides women on a new path toward self-discovery, helping them to rediscover their inner radiance and rebalance their lives."
- Frank Lipman, M.D., author of the New York Times bestselling The New Health Rules and 10 Reasons You Get Old and Feel Fat
"Dana James is one of the foremost experts in functional nutrition. I have personally witnessed how she has been able to help transform women's perspectives on food, their bodies and themselves, helping them experience a lasting shift in their weight energy and mood. This is a book every woman should read."
- Robin Berzin MD, founder and CEO of Parsley Health
"Imagine expressing all of your feminine energy in a balanced way - the compassionate, the sensual, the creative, and the intellectual - all parts of you would be expressed and you would feel whole. If, however, you overly rely on one of them to feel worthy, you quickly get out of balance emotionally, become stressed and lose the ability to prioritize yourself and self care. Dana James wants to help you break this cycle that leaves you stuck in a lifestyle and a body that leaves you drained and frustrated.
Her book will help you understand the connection between your personality type, entrenched behavioral patterns, emotional triggers and weight struggles so you can give yourself the support you truly need to make lasting change for sustained weight loss from the most self aware and kind place."
- Alisa Vitti, Best Selling Author of WomanCode, Founder of FLOliving.com, Creator of MyFLO period app
“You are your best nutrition guru. The trouble is that many of us need help listening to our bodies. Dana James is a beacon in the fog of confusing and conflicting dietary guidance. She offers women a comprehensive path back to their most radiant selves."
- Kelly Brogan, M.D., holistic psychiatrist and author of the New York Times bestselling Mind of Your Own
"Dana James is a nutrition guru and the wisdom conveyed in her book will guide your individualized journey to vibrant health and well being.”
- Jeffery Morrison, M.D., author of Cleanse Your Body, Clear Your Mind
"Dana James draws on her decades of experience coaching women from around the world to reclaim nourishment. This book is a must read for those seeking the deeper understanding of their bodies and food behaviors.“
- Drew Ramsey, MD psychiatrist and author of Eat Compete and Eat to Beat Depression.
“There's no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition so it's great to finally see a book that explains why different body types need different diets.”
- Jason Wachob, Founder & CEO, mindbodygreen & Author of Wellth
