The Rainbow Diet: A Holistic Approach to Radiant Health Through Foods and Supplements (Eat the Rainbow for Healthy Foods)

Dr. Deanna Minich is spot on in this book! She presents a simple, effective and powerful way to choose foods and understand the interconnectedness between our bodies and our lives.The Rainbow Diet framework is written with the intention of love instead of deprivation and honors each person's individual body. Through the Spectrum Quiz we are able to discover our own colors of the rainbow and see where we need to focus our attention on these seven areas:Red - RootOrange - FlowYellow - FireGreen - LoveAquamarine - TruthIndigo - InsightWhite - SpiritEach of the seven areas represents specific foods, systems/organs of the body, supplements and more.I cannot give this book enough praise. All of the research is well referenced and yet, it is written with a tone of compassion and care making it easy to receive and integrate the information. This book has the power to transform the way we eat in a very natural and authentic way. A must read!

This book is my new favorite, for so many different reasons. I love how Dr. Minich took the seven systems, and inside each system used questions to further elucidate what it may look like to have an unhealthy system. For example with the Root, that system that deals with community, tribe, safety, and survival, she asked "Do you feel at odds with your family of origin?", or, "Do you struggle with your daily survival?" These questions help to take something that may at first glance seem a bit abstract and bring it right down to the granular.The book is ingenious, through and through. Appendix C is my latest friend! You can see instantaneously which herbs and supplements (primary and secondary) are most important for each System. For example, certain vitamins and minerals are important for all the Systems. You'll have to buy the book to find out!

What a wonderful book!. Elegantly, but still simply written and filled with easy to apply wisdom, wisdom that can make every day richer and more fulfilling. Deanna Minich is a brilliant scientist and a compassionate, wise human being who is a true educator, someone who helps you look deep within yourself and find your own truth. She has enriched my life, and I know she can enrich yours.

This book looks at food through a lens that adds spirit and aliveness to its healing benefits! I love how Deanna Minich bridges science and spirituality. She is a true pioneer and a brilliant healer! I love all of her teachings!

As a Holistic Nutrition Coach this book is packed with so much info. From phytonutrients inside different colored fruits and veggies to what purpose they serve. Book also breaks it down by the chakra system. Wonderful quiz to take, tips for getting in all the colors every day. I go back and reference this book often.

I just received this week and what I’ve read so far is amazing. I’ve always loved Dr. Deanna Minnich’s work and this book follows up as well worth the read. I can hear her presence in the book rather then spit firing facts and a to do list. She really gets people and delivers great in depth applicable info. She’s concise and so gracefully delivers several great tools. She is really a gem and if you like her work, I’d def recommend. I’m excited to apply personally and professionally.

I'm not really sure what's happening to books but nearly every book that I buy seems to be written in a very simplistic way. I'm not sure whether it's for the mass market and editors and publishers are insisting on simply-worded books, or if the authors just don't write very well. The information, however, is useful. I purchased it because I'm eating whole-foods, plant-based.

Deanna captures the whole body with her knowledge of foods and energies. This book is a must read for everyone. It explains in clear language the foods that help your body heal its blockages. It is captivating and easy to read. All of Dr. Deanna Minich's books are full of wisdom. Each time I read a chapter I learn so much more about my body and how to help it become healthier. I learn something new each time. You will not be disappointed with this book or her other books. Purchase it for you and a loved one and help each other become stronger and healthier together. You will not regret it.

A very interesting journey into rainbow foods and health.

Excellent book! It has really good research and I love that she uses her systems model to talk about all the foods and supplements. A really good follow up to her Whole Detox book, which was also fantastic.

I don’t really relate to the spirituality in this book, but it’s good to have different recipes to focus on different parts of your diet.

Very interesting book with lots of good advise

I like it
