✦ Etymology
Woman in yellow heels overlooking the NYC skyline
di·ai·ta/ˈdaɪ.ə.tə/
noun.Ancient Greek · δίαιτα
  1. 01.a way of life; the whole architecture of how one lives.
  2. 02.the curation of what one consumes — food, thought, company, environment.

Long before diet meant strict guidelines, the Ancient Greeks used diaita to describe the whole architecture of a life — what you ate, how you moved, what energy surrounded you, and what beliefs you allowed in.

Diet × Design is a return to the autonomous creation of our lives. Self-discovery features allow you to dive deeper into remembering who you came here to be, and consumption analysis and curation services examine every category of our energetic intake.
