In a health culture now crowded with self-proclaimed experts and aggressive marketing, it’s more important than ever to distinguish what is authentic, safe, and rooted in true healing.

💊 Are your supplements actually working, or are they FAKE?

We’ve now seen 6 patients taking DHEA from the recommended manufacturer, but they purchased on Amazon and their lab levels didn’t budge or went down. Turns out, counterfeit and underdosed supplements are everywhere online.

🚫 Some products on Amazon have:

0% of listed ingredients 😱
Over 200% of what’s safe 🤯
Or are outright counterfeit. 😔

Your health deserves better. Learn how to protect yourself, what signs to look for, and why “Sold by Amazon” doesn’t mean it’s safe 👇

In the current market where ‘experts’ are everywhere and your ticket to wellness is just one click away, it’s easier than ever to buy supplements online. But that convenience comes with a hidden risk: you may not be getting what you’re paying for, especially if you shop on Amazon. At our pra...

🚨 Are greens powders really a shortcut to better health?

Spoiler: Most aren’t replacing your fruits & veggies and some barely come close. Plus, a few contain more heavy metals than nutrition.

🌿 Your Advocate in Whole Health and Wellness

🔗 in bio

My patients hear all of this but using a different vocabulary. Mind-body-spirit encompasses our whole being. That being is impacted by our our diet which includes everything we consume--thoughts, feelings, the energy around us, the food we eat, the words we hear, the air we breathe. Wholeness is health.

Healing is what we pursue in our patient-physician partnership using science and art. We come together with a primary belief that wholeness is possible.

We ask the body what it needs and provide it. We ask ourselves what are we thinking about ourselves? Others? What is the energy of the world around us feeding into? Health? Conflict?

A healthy diet, proper exercise but a mind that hasn't enough Peace? A body without enough rest? Trauma that has not healed? A voice that hasn't been heard? There is no wholeness there. There is healing to be done.

Take an inventory of yourself and consider what you can do to increase your wholeness, your health, your wellness.

Now, more than ever, I remind my patients that kindness is an essential part of health. We cannot be in fear and thrive. Those who intimidate or oppress are not in a healing state. If you pay attention to what you eat and you move your body, please pause and also consider the content of your words, thoughts, and actions.

Dr Deanna Minich, PhD is such a gift as she is a blend of brilliant scientist and heart-centered human. How we live, how we think, how we interact with our environment is the key to our health or illness. In this new year and and in the surge of interest in holistic and alternative medicine, let us not forget "take this for that", whether it be a prescription or a supplement, is NOT holistic or functional. Health is grown, wellness is supported, longevity is the reward for a live well lived. Eat the rainbow!

For decades, I’ve been teaching to “eat the rainbow,” but more specifically, there is a reason why we need each color.
🌈
As I explained in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism in 2019, there is a “code” or a “functional signature” of each color. If you miss a color in the daily diet, you could be missing out on a function of the phytochemicals in that color of food.
🍒🍎🍓🍑🍊🍋🍌🍍🥑🫛🥦🥬🍆🫐🍇🥥
Color is one of the first places to start with eating. It’s the way to get phytochemicals without thinking about it. It’s a way to become nourished without counting calories.
✨🌈
I go into more detail in my new book, The Rainbow Diet, launching next month on Amazon! I go into the four principles of eating (color, creativity, diversity, and rhythm), the “code” for each color, and practical recipes and tools to make it come to life. If you’ve been following me for awhile on social media, it’s like a synthesis of all my social media posts into a book, ready to go!
