About Food & Spirit™

Combining the Science and Spirituality of Food and Eating for Whole-Self Nourishment

Food & Spirit™ was founded in 2000 by nutritionist, Dr. Deanna Minich, as a way to cultivate eating as a path to personal growth. Since we encounter food and the act of eatingmultiple times daily, she realized that this constant interfacecould become a conduit of understanding one’s inner selfin relationship to their environment. Dr. Minich’s approach is to bring together the spectrum of potential in the eating experience as a means to fully experience its benefits, including focusing on:

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.

About Food & Spirit™ Peel Away the Layers to Discover Your Healthy Core

Food is a tool to unraveling the parts of our self, allowing our inner self to be revealed. The rainbow-peel apple represents the self with all its many facets, represented by the colors. Sometimes we have to unravel the aspects of the outer self to get to the juiciness within - to the core behind all of thoselife areas. In a similar manner, Food & Spirit is a platform to get to the core within oneself. It takes a bit of unraveling, peeling the everyday environmental skin back in order to get to the real issues that lie within.

Is this program for me?

Is This Program for Me?

through honesty, responsibility and compassion. This is a unique opportunity to create independence (self mastery). From this position true healing happens both personally and as a professional. The Food and Spirit coaching program is as much a self-development course as it is professional training. The program is designed as much

as a continuing education path for professionals already in the field ofhealth and nutrition as it is fornewcomers curious and passionate about adding new knowledge and skills to their offering to clients. Food & Spirit aims to train new types of practitioners who offer leading services in personal development to affect social change, and build effective communities and organizations with the ability to do the same. Students find their horizons expand and they either find more satisfying ways of working with what they are already doing or gain a new career.

Why Food & Spirit™ Coaching?Rather than coaching to a particular diet, the Food & Spirit™ approachencompasses a system of personalization of food choices and eatingbehaviors to seven unique areas. Diets have long been successful, butonly for the short-term. Recent studies indicate that long-term weightmaintenance and prevention of chronic disease is facilitated throughgroup settings where there is an exchange of information within the broad context of one’s life. The idea of interconnection, or the spread of social behaviors and health, is a well-studied scientific phenomenon. When we apply the interconnection framework to that of food and eating, we potentially maximize the individual’s recognition of how food choices and eating behaviors are anchored into how one lives their life. As a result, they experience the benefit in their eating in addition to growing in aspects of their personal development.

The Ideal Food & Spirit CoachThe ideal Food & Spirit coach is a person who has a keen interestin food and eating, and is able to see that there is more to a mealthan calories. Essentially, they themselves realize the importanceof the constant interface we have on a daily basis with food and eating,and furthermore, acknowledge that we can gain information aboutourselves from physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual perspectivesfrom the relationship we have with the everyday bite of food alongthe spectrum to the meaningful meal.

This program is for all health practitioners, therapists, counselors, coaches, caring professionals, or persons whose heart’s desire is to help others find peace as well as deepen their own personal practice These are people who, in some way or another, have been preoccupied

with food and eating - either from a culinary angle, or even from a dysfunctional aspect, like having an eating disorder at some point intheir lives, or someone who simply realizes the profound healing thatcan come through eating for all the layers of the self.

Vision andPurpose for Food & Spirit Coaches

The Deeper Purpose of a Food & Spirit Coach - A Vision for a Healthier World

The vision for Food & Spirit Coaches is to be the lifestyle educatorsof the 21st century - to provide solutions to people who are lookingfor health and wellness in body, mind, and spirit. There is no otherapproach that connects food and eating to aspects of life in this way.And, since how we eat is how we live, dealing with the eating will help coaches to deal with the living, and vice versa. The goal for the Food & Spirit Coaches is to be embedded into

larger matrices of healers and health professionals to serve the needof going deeper with clients on their relationship with food. This aspectis not currently addressed to an adequate extent in healthcare settings.If we can help clients to understand their relationship with food,we help them to understand and discover aspects of their inner self and outer behaviors.

We need this type of coaching to emerge, especially in the everyday climate of overeating, rampant emotional eating, undereating, stressful eating, and mindless eating. People are bombarded by information on how to eat, yet, they haven’t been taught that what and how they eat

CONNECTS TO EVERYTHING ELSE IN THEIR LIVES.

That is why diet books fail - they give the isolated “what and how” of eating without connection to one’s body, their emotions, sense of self, ability to love and speak their truth, be intuitive, and feel united with nature.

These coaches will be empowered with the best of bridging together worlds that are seemingly separate, yet quite complementary:

Their work will support everyone from those with chronic diseases to those who are the “walking wounded” - people who feel suboptimal in their health within the context of the larger network of healthcaresupport.

“Taking Deanna’s class has been a life changing experience. She has taught me so many healthy lifestyle skills that I will be able to use for the rest of my life and also to teach others. She is such an inspiring person and her words will forever inspire me.” – E.S. “Deanna is a wonderful teacher who gives so much of herself and teaches in a way that has brought such profound learning and growth for me…With Deanna’s nurturing guidance...I was able to find my own healing path that is leading me toward a healthy and pleasureable relationship with food. For the first time in my life, I am listening to my body and trusting the mystery of inner guidance. This class taught me that food is a healing tool in life that can be used for profound transformation.” – K.M. “Dr. Deanna Minich is a phenomenal teacher and coach! After taking two of her teleclasses and loving them, I decided to delve deeper with individual coaching. Weaving the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of eating brought new awareness to many areas of my life.Her caring and insightful observations assisted me in revealing the tiny seedling buried in the mud struggling to burst forth with magnificence. Working with Deanna furthered me down my path to healing and helped me see the beautiful tapestry being created by my soul’s experiences.” – P.L

It opened my eyes even more and it makes me even more brave to find my way. You are an amazing person. I never experienced that someone who is not even in the same country cares so much for the group and really likes to help every single person. Thank you very much!” – K.U. “Finally, someone who looks at the bigger picture uncovering our relationship with food in a non judgemental, supportive way.

I can’t thank you enough Deanna.” – B.S. “Deanna Minich’s ...organization, knowledge and especially her compassionate support helped us through an experience that might have been difficult alone but fun, exciting and easy as a group.
