Deanna Minich PhD, FACN, CNS, IFMCP

Dr. Deanna Minich is a wellness expert and author of five books. Having had health issues in her teens and twenties, she looked for solutions to feel better and understand her relationship with food. She embarked upon a scientific path to study nutritional biochemistry, while at the same time, explored other disciplines like psychology, spirituality, and philosophy. Her journey to find answers ultimately led her to combine her studies to develop an integrated, complete, lifestyle system called Food & Spirit™. She offers training to practitioners of all types to learn this color-coded method for full-spectrum health.

She has applied this system to the practice of detox to create Whole Detox, a whole-life, whole-systems, whole-foods approach to feeling vital and renewed. In 2014, she led the Detox Summit, the world’s largest event on detox, featuring 30 experts in the field. She offers online programs for those seeking guidance on healthy eating and living the Whole Detox way. Dr. Minich is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, a Certified Nutrition Specialist, a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and an educator for the Institute for Functional Medicine and the University of Western States. Her passion is teaching a whole-self approach to living and bridging the gaps between science, spirit, and art in healing.
