Eat the Rainbow: How Food Colors Power Your Cellular Health and Fight Cancer with Deanna Minich, MS, PhD, FACN, CNS, IFMCP

In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. Karlfeldt interviews Deanna Minich PhD, an expert in nutrition and functional medicine with extensive experience in academia, the food industry, and clinical research. The conversation focuses on the concept of vibrational energy in food and how consuming a variety of colorful foods can support cellular health and potentially aid in cancer prevention and treatment. Deanna explains that foods carry specific frequencies and vibrations based on their molecular structure, with naturally occurring foods having a higher resonance than processed ones. She introduces the "eat the rainbow" concept, detailing how different colored foods provide unique phytonutrients that support various bodily functions: red foods for inflammation and immunity, orange for reproductive and brain health, yellow for digestion, green for heart health and detoxification, and blue/purple for brain health and mood regulation. The discussion explores how mitochondria function as the energy harvesters of cells, extracting energy through oxidative phosphorylation and utilizing the color bonds in food similar to photosynthesis in plants. Deanna emphasizes the importance of dietary diversity to avoid "phytonutrient gaps" and suggests tracking daily color consumption to ensure a full spectrum of nutrients. She also addresses how external stressors like electromagnetic fields and artificial blue light can negatively impact cellular health. Deanna provides practical advice on cooking methods, recommending steaming and slow, moist cooking techniques over high-heat methods like grilling and frying that produce inflammatory compounds. She advocates for seasonal eating, mindful consumption practices, and eating in community to enhance digestion and nutrient absorption. The episode concludes with Deanna directing listeners to her website for additional resources, infographics, and information on nutrition and health. Naturally occurring foods have higher vibrational energy and resonance than processed foods, which can support cellular health and potentially aid in cancer prevention. Different colored foods provide specific phytonutrients that support various bodily functions: red for inflammation and immunity, orange for reproduction and brain health, yellow for digestion, green for heart and detoxification, and blue/purple for brain health and mood. Mitochondria function as energy harvesters in cells, extracting energy from the color bonds in food through a process similar to photosynthesis in plants. Cooking methods significantly impact food's health benefits, with steaming and slow, moist cooking techniques preserving nutrients better than high-heat methods like grilling and frying that produce inflammatory compounds. Mindful eating practices, seasonal food consumption, and dietary diversity are essential strategies to maximize nutrient absorption and avoid "phytonutrient gaps" in your diet. ---- Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancer https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1 Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancer https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2 ---- Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.
