407. End food stress and overwhelm by embracing colour, with Deanna Minich, PhD

Does food ever stress you out, for one reason or another? This week’s show is here to help you relax and find joy in food and my guest is the wonderful Deanna Minich PhD.

I’ve long followed Deanna’s work in nutrition and the beautiful way she links it to the power of colour, body systems, energy centres and ancient wisdom. 

This week we talk about: 

• Deanna’s journey towards the rainbow - how did that take shape?
• What led Dieanna to her 7 Systems framework
• How does she address hecklers who challenge, say, the connection between pineapple and ambition or broccoli and love?
• The intersection between what is bio individually beneficial vs what is temporarily challenging when it comes to incorporating a large range of plant foods. 
• “Anti-nutrients” and the nuanced picture when discussing lectins, phytates, salicylates and oxalates.
• Detoxification and what 'whole self detoxification' is as a process and why it’s more effective than focusing purely on biochemistry.
• Deanna’s favourite 3 desert-Island foods to take with her (GOOD CHOICES!)  

I hope you love the show as I did - I could have continued chatting for HOURS!
