In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deanna Minich — a nutrition scientist and author of the Rainbow Diet — to talk about a topic we don't hear nearly enough about: the power of color in our food. We dive into what food colors actually do in the body, how they impact everything from mood to memory, and why most of us are walking around with a “color deficiency” without even realizing it. Dr. Minich breaks down the functional role of phytonutrients in a way that's easy to understand, yet incredibly eye-opening. She also challenges conventional diet labels (vegan, carnivore, etc.) and instead invites us to build a more personal, color-coded relationship with food. If you've ever wondered how to shift from counting calories to eating more consciously — or if you're just curious about what “eating the rainbow” really means — this conversation will give you a whole new lens for looking at your plate. Key Takeaways: The Rainbow Diet Philosophy: Move beyond traditional diet patterns to embrace a personalized nutrition approach focusing on the incorporation of diverse phytonutrient-rich colors in the diet. Colorful Foods & Health Benefits: Each color in food offers unique phytonutrients and health advantages, from supporting inflammation control with red foods to enhancing brain function with blue and purple foods. Importance of Creativity and Diversity: Diversifying food types and embracing new combinations can break monotonous eating habits and enrich the microbiome with varied phytonutrients. Chrono Nutrition: Align eating patterns with natural rhythms for optimal metabolic health, integrating concepts like circadian rhythm, seasonal, and lunar dietary adjustments. Expanding the Role of Food: More than sustenance, food represents culture, emotion, and interconnectedness, urging a balanced evaluation of its role in personal well-being. More About Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD: Dr. Deanna Minich is a renowned nutrition scientist, international speaker, educator, and author with 20+ years of experience bridging the gap between science and soul. She's currently the Chief Science Officer at Symphony Natural Health and the founder of Food & Spirit™, where she integrates functional nutrition with lifestyle medicine to support whole-person healing. Her background spans academia, clinical research, and the dietary supplement industry — including over 50 published scientific papers, seven books, and four book chapters on wellness.

Do you want to optimize your detoxification and improve gut motility? The answer may lie in rotating dietary fibers. It's not just about the type or amount of fiber, but the diversity and rotation of fibers that can truly revolutionize your gut health. Rotating fibers every few days can create a diverse gut microbiome as well as help your detox. In this episode, Dr. Deanna Minich delves into the vital role of phytonutrients and fiber in promoting detoxification and gut health. She emphasizes the significance of incorporating a diverse range of colorful foods and rotating dietary fibers to optimize gut motility and support the body's detoxification processes. She advocates for the rotational approach to fiber intake, recommending the inclusion of about 50 unique foods within a week to promote diversity and enhance immune health. Listen now and start adding fibers to your diet today! Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/feelfreakingamazing/  Summary Dr. Minich discusses the relationship between phytonutrients and detoxification, highlighting the role of fiber in preventing the absorption of toxicants into the body and binding to toxins, estrogen, and liver metabolites. Dr. Minich stresses the importance of adequate hydration alongside fiber consumption and categorizes fibers into broom fibers, which promote gut motility, and mop fibers, which aid in toxin binding and gut microbiome health.  Phytonutrients in Colorful Foods Phytonutrients play a vital role in supporting the body's detoxification mechanisms. By consuming a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, you can harness the power of diverse phytonutrients to enhance your overall health and aid in detox processes. Incorporating colorful foods can help you optimize your detox and improve your gut health. Fiber and Detox Fiber is a key player in supporting detoxification processes within the body. It acts as a binding agent for heavy metals, estrogen, and liver metabolites, facilitating their elimination from the body. Just as a broom, it sweeps away toxins and waste products, preventing their absorption into the bloodstream.  Implementing a Rotation Diet A rotation diet involves regularly changing up your food choices to promote dietary diversity and avoid developing sensitivities to specific foods. Dr. Minich recommends rotating fiber sources every three to four days and aiming to include around 50 unique foods within a week. This approach helps prevent gut microbiome imbalances and ensures that the body receives a wide array of nutrients for optimal health and detoxification.  Listen now and start adding fibers to your diet today!

Headlines are sounding alarms over the widespread use of melatonin—especially as a sleep aid for young kids. Dr. Deanna Minich has authored a comprehensive review of melatonin, in which she likens it to vitamin D in its potential utility for a variety of ailments—not just for insomnia and jet lag, but also for metabolic syndrome and diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, brain disorders, autoimmune conditions, eye problems, tinnitus, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, viral infections, and even ADHD and autism. Additionally, melatonin may confer anti-aging benefits. She affirms its overall safety, but cautions that some formulations are sketchy and may contain contaminants or vastly exceed or undershoot their claimed melatonin content. She discusses how modern life, with its ever-present artificial light, shift work, and travel across time zones may disrupt our circadian rhythms and put us in a state of darkness deprivation, with consequent melatonin depletion. For many conditions less is more, and use in children should be limited to special cases. Dr. Minich also emphasizes that lifestyle factors like properly timed light and darkness exposure, blue blocker glasses and screen apps, exercise and diet are cornerstones to optimal melatonin production, with melatonin supplements constituting only part of a holistic approach.

This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge, Lifeforce, and Lumebox.  What if we told you there's a holy grail of molecules that can prevent early aging, promote longevity, and help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's? This super powerful hormone, neurotransmitter, and antioxidant is melatonin. Today's episode is a masterclass on melatonin and its crucial role in our bodies. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Deanna Minich to discuss the crucial role of melatonin in our body as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and circadian regulator. Dr. Minich reveals early warning signs of low melatonin levels and lifestyle habits that can disrupt its production. She also covers the latest research on melatonin and critical considerations for supplementation. If you are looking for a deep dive into melatonin, this episode is for you.  Dr. Deanna Minich is a nutrition researcher, educator, and functional medicine-trained clinician with a unique approach to nutrition that combines physiology and psychology. She has served on the Institute of Functional Medicine's Nutrition Advisory Board and curriculum committee and is a faculty member teaching nutrition for the Advanced Practice Module for Environmental Health.

In animals living in cold climates like Canada, breeding is timed with daylight changes to avoid winter births when conditions are harsh. Humans, however, are not seasonal breeders and can reproduce year-round. If melatonin caused infertility in humans, it would be widespread, which it is not. Melatonin helps counteract infertility caused by environmental toxins due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Reformed Forum hosted an online symposium on February 29, 2024, featuring a series of thought-provoking sessions designed to explore the intersections of theology, history, and the contemporary challenges facing the church. In this session, Joseph Minich presented the primary thesis of his book, Bulwarks of Unbelief (Lexham Press), in which he argues that a felt absence of God, as experienced by the modern individual, offers a better explanation for the rise in atheism. Recent technological and cultural shifts in the modern West have produced a perceived challenge to God's existence. As modern technoculture reshapes our awareness of reality and belief in the invisible, it in turn amplifies God's apparent silence. In this new context, atheism is a natural result. And absent of meaning from without, we have turned within. Watch the video: https://youtube.com/live/bvOPzAyfvdE?feature=share

In this episode, Dr. Deanna Minich, a renowned expert in holistic health, shares her discoveries about melatonin supplementation for perimenopausal women. As a perimenopausal woman herself, Dr. Minich experienced sleep disturbances and sought relief. She learned that the peak production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep regulation and recovery, occurs between 2 to 4 a.m. However, perimenopausal issues often disrupt this natural rhythm, leading to poor sleep and compromised hormone regulation.

In Bulwarks of Unbelief, Joseph Minich argues that a felt absence of God, as experienced by the modern individual, offers a better explanation for the rise in atheism. Recent technological and cultural shifts in the modern West have produced a perceived challenge to God's existence. Andrew, Alastair, and Derek jump right to the heart of the matter and ask some very penetrating and practical questions about Minich's thesis. Full show notes at www.merefidelity.com.
