Episode 55: Plant Medicine, Photonutrients, and the Health Benefits of Eating a Rainbow

Dr. Deanna Minich preaches: Eat a rainbow. Why? There are over 700
carotenoids found in plants – all bioactive, and generally
pleotropic (ie: they do more than one thing in the body). We don’t
need tons of any single carotenoid, and indeed – if anyone recalls
the beta carotene smoker study from the early 2000’s, too much of a
single compound could arguably be toxic. But variety is essential.
And amazingly, certain groups of carotenoid colors favor certain
organs. Think “orange for ovaries”; blue for brain and green for
heart. Listen to my riveting conversation with Dr. Deanna Minich as
she shares her own healing journey from endometriosis and how
color, plant medicine and spirit converged…. carotenoid science to
artist. Variety. ‘Bridging the gap between science, soul and art’
in medicine. And hear about the Scio and how you can test your food
nutrient density in this cool, cutting edge, handheld device – and
loads MORE! There are 25,000 plant phytonutrients that we are aware
of, and probably many, many more that we are not. Listen to this
revealing podcast with the incredible Dr. Deanna Minich, and be
