Eating the Rainbow with Dr. Deanna Minich

In this week’s episode of Be HEALTHistic, Drs. Steve and Drew Sinatra welcome Dr. Deanna Minich, an internationally recognized teacher, author, scientist, speaker, and artist with decades of experience in nutrition and functional medicine. Deanna's passion is teaching a whole-self approach to nourishment, and today, we'll be talking about “eating the rainbow,” the healing power of food, and what you can do to make your meals more colorful. First, Deanna and the doctors discuss the power of plant-based foods, and why getting enough fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and even tea is vital to a healthy diet. Deanna gives our doctor duo her take on lectins, and whether a lectin-rich diet leads to different clinical conditions — as well as how we should look at our genes ancestrally to recognize certain food sensitivities. Next, Deanna explains why her main principles of plant-based nutrition are color, creativity, and variety, and why the micro-rotation of different foods is key to enriching the gut microbiome. Then, Deanna and the doctors discuss foods that can protect and boost immunity during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the best foods to eat for heart health. Finally, Deanna shares her “pearl” of wisdom about eating the rainbow, and reveals her picks for the best antioxidant-rich foods. Don’t miss this opportunity to Be HEALTHistic, where Dr. Deanna Minich and the Doctors Sinatra highlight the benefits of eating a wide spectrum of plant-based foods.
