Food & Spirit Information

“We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are.” – Adelle Davis Food & Spirit™ was developed by nutritionist, Deanna Minich, PhD, as a way to cultivate eating as a path to personal growth. Dr. Minich’s approach is to bring together the entire spectrum of potential in the eating experience as a means to fully experience its benefits, including focusing on: Information and Inspiration Science and Spirituality Logic and Creativity Practicality and Poetry Body and Soul You will find in the Food & Spirit teachings a wealth of current, scientific-based nutrition information with a complement of the deeper, psychosocial aspects of eating and the symbolic meaning of foods that often goes unrecognized. These teachings are based on the wisdom of the ancient traditions and texts such as Ayurveda, the Vedas and Traditional Chinese Medicine in combination with the knowledge of 21st century medicine. These concepts are represented within Food & Spirit as seven different aspects of one’s being that literally correlate with a major endocrine gland and symbolically connect to a theme and color.
