S3 Ep 6: 'Phytochemicals and the importance of dietary diversity' featuring Dr Deanna Minich, PhD

Dr. Deanna Minich is a certified functional medicine practitioner, nutrition scientist, educator and author, and joins us today to discuss phytochemicals and the importance of dietary diversity.

Dr. Deanna tells us about her Seven Systems of Health, a colourful, useful and practical way of drawing together the science, psychology and spirituality of her work. We talk about chakras, Chinese medicine and Lakota traditions, about communication, family and nature. Then Dr. Deanna leads us through a rainbow of foods, describing each colour in terms of its impact and the specific phytochemicals that assist with that, and how best to get the most from plant-based foods.

Dr. Deanna’s motto is: think in colour, eat in colour, live in colour. “When people start to eat more colourful foods, they have more colourful moods. They wear different colours of clothing. They start to pay attention to colour in their environment. …We can impact so many different things to our lives. Just through colour.”
