Our Nutrition Philosophies
The nutrition philosophies that go into every meal and program we create. What it means to live the Tulla Life.
-
We prioritize plants in every dish—not only because they’re rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, but because they support long-term health in a way no supplement can match. From leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables to legumes, seeds, and seasonal produce, our meals are built around nutrient-dense, plant-powered ingredients that nourish your body and support everything from digestion to mental clarity. Plants first doesn’t mean plants only—we support a variety of eating styles. But no matter what’s on your plate, we make sure plants are leading the way.
-
We don’t believe in restriction or low-calorie meals that leave you hungry an hour later. Instead, we focus on nutrient density—meals that are rich in the vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, protein, and fiber your body actually needs to thrive. That means smart carbs, high-quality protein, healthy fats, and deeply nourishing ingredients in every bite. This approach helps keep your energy stable, your hormones balanced, and your metabolism strong—no calorie counting required.
-
Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables ensures you're getting a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Each color represents different phytonutrients that support everything from skin health to immune function to brain clarity. Instead of obsessing over macros, try filling your plate with as many naturally colorful foods as possible—your body (and your taste buds) will thank you.
-
Protein is the foundation for a strong, energized body. It keeps you full, helps stabilize blood sugar, supports muscle repair, and plays a critical role in hormone production and immune health. Whether you're fully a plant-based eater or an omnivore, getting quality protein at each meal helps fuel your day and support long-term wellness goals.
-
Fiber is the unsung hero of nutrition. It keeps your digestive system moving, supports gut health, balances blood sugar, and helps you feel fuller longer. Aim for a mix of soluble and insoluble fiber by incorporating whole grains, legumes, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds into your meals consistently.
-
Healthy fats are essential, not optional. They’re key for hormone balance, brain function, skin health, and satiety. Think avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, fatty fish, and even high-quality dark chocolate. Don’t fear fat; embrace it as a vital part of a balanced, satisfying plate.
-
Your gut is at the center of your health—it impacts everything from mood and immunity to energy and digestion. Nurture it with probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut, and feed your beneficial bacteria with fiber-rich prebiotics like garlic, onions, and bananas. A thriving gut supports a thriving you.
-
Keeping blood sugar stable is crucial for avoiding energy crashes, mood swings, and cravings. Focus on meals that combine protein, fiber, and healthy fats to slow digestion and keep glucose levels steady. Balanced blood sugar = balanced energy and better focus all day long.
-
Food should fuel your body and bring you joy. Eat in a way that satisfies—not just nutritionally but emotionally, culturally, and socially. Slow down. Savor. Get excited about your meals. When we build a healthy relationship with food, it becomes something that supports—not controls—our lives.
-
Sustainable change comes from showing up with intention, not perfection. It’s not about cutting everything out—it’s about creating habits that feel realistic and repeatable. The Tulla life is a lifestyle, not a diet. You don’t need to be perfect to make progress—you just need to keep going.
