Review

"Chakra Foods for Optimum Health is a "roll up your sleeve" self help book. Describing in detail, techniques that Dr. Minich has used successfully to assist her patients in rebalancing their chakra centers, overcome obstacles to health, regain energy, creativity, and find new meaning in their lives. Her Chakra questionnaire is a tremendous asset assisting you in pinpointing areas of dysfunction and imbalance. She expertly takes you through each of the seven chakra centers discussing in detail food and eating healing plans, simple affirmations that make a big difference, imaginative activities you can easily do to help rebalance your chakras, and a specific eating plan to support energy flow through each chakra. At the end of the book are countless tasty recipes to help you enjoy healthy variations of familiar foods and explore new flavors and sensations." Jacob Kornberg, MD, FACS ― Reviews

"Chakra Foods is loaded with wisdom, joy, and practicality. Reading through this book provided me with many 'ah ha!' experiences. Chakra Foods is full of unusual and uplifting insights that one can apply to their life instantly." Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Secret Pleasures of Menopause and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom ― Reviews

From the Back Cover

The material for Chakra Foods was developed out of the Minichas highly successful aNutrition for the Soula classes, workshops, and private counseling sessions. Not a diet book, it looks at both the nutritional and spiritual aspects of the foods we eat and how they can heal us. For example, someone feeling stuck in their lives could turn to chapter 5 and find a list of orange foodsaapricots, carrots, salmon, pumpkin, orangesato help their sacral chakra. With lots of useful sidebars, this book offers a treasure trove of energy medicine in teh form of food - truly food for the body, mind, and soul!

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply the best integrative nutrition book out there!
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2010
Verified Purchase
As an energy healer, I believe this book explains the void between our bodies and our spirit better than any other book currently available. Deanna Minich understands how fueling our bodies with the foods we eat indicates the health of our minds and our spirits. And she is able to teach the reader how their current eating patterns and cravings mirror their chakra deficiencies or excesses. She seamlessly integrates current western nutritional science with our spiritual health. The layout of the book is simple and logical. Dr. Minich's writing style is simple, clear and often amusing.

Dr Minich appears to have no agenda or prejudices. She is not on a mission to scold or to judge, only to teach. She is not trying to sell the reader on a specific diet. One can imagine that Deanna Minich is a very kind, yet brilliant person with ton and tons of integrity. I will recommend this book highly to many of my friends and family.

Food for the chakras is new to me, but there is so much more information on chakras, not just food for them. Very well written with humor and intelligent information. No pushing for you to eat different, just information so you can decide if you want to or not. No guilt!

A dear friend recommended Deanna's on-line course and Chakra Foods Books as a resource for my new business The Zen of Slow Cooking. I found the information fascinating and her weekly on-line course complimented the book perfectly.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking to enrich their understanding of how foods nourish and heal the body.

4.0 out of 5 stars depends on what you need to know...
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2011
Verified Purchase
I think that if you already have a good sense of chakras, this book might come off as a bit redundant.
One thing that most books like this (I dislike putting things into categories but I will go ahead and say it anyway--'new agey') disappoint me in is that by their very intention of putting such information into factual little boxes they contradict the true nature of such information, which is fluidity and self-discovery. I guess, in other words, by trying to look directly at the star it fades from sight

for example, phrases like "work with yourself to develop playfulness"

maybe it's just me, but i experience these types of sayings as contraindications. Nevertheless, a book that tries to say what can't be said (which 99.99 percent of self-help books do) will by their nature be full of paradoxes. So is it fair to judge this book only against other books, or against what I would wish to read?

That said, I suppose it will depend on the reader

--So, I had originally given this book a 3 star rating, but upon reflection this seems a bit unfair, because in the category of books that it falls into it should probably be a 4 to a 5. I think I have just been expecting something that is unlikely to come along, which is probably a book written by someone like-minded. Anyway, looking at it as something written for people who are just getting introduced to these ideas, it is actually a fabulous book, because she is a very sensitive writer who is good with clarity. Her passion and wisdom on the subject shine through, and she is neither imposing nor boring on anything. I had originally thought it deserved a lower rating because every now and then one of the ideas she presents has flawed or incomplete reasoning behind it, but hey, what book doesn't nowadays? I guess it's just up to the reader to do proper research.

finally the answers for all the questions related to my eating habits, problems, challenges, understanding....
simply - reading this book will definitely change your approach to the "process of eating" itself...it will change your opinion about the food completely....you will finally understand, that food is something, that is not just the way, how to receive the energy, but also one of the ways, how to HEAL yourself.....
AMAZING :):):):)!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Recipes, lots of flaws.
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
The authors logic is often rather flawed. (For example, some food allergies may come from a weak solar plexus). It got to the point where I just disregarded the whole text part of the book and jumped straight to the recipes.

However, recipes were unclear with their instructions and do not necessarily take into account the "novice cooks" abilities. It is easier the second time around; however, other recipe books I have tried are a lot clearer to have you get it the first time. Additionally, the ingredients are hard to substitute (if you have a deadly food allergy like I do, there are a lot of recipes that have nuts in them. But what do I know. I might have a weak solar plexus). Also, recipe measurements use 1/8th of a cup instead of TBSPs which is more likely what I would use.

For how little I use the book I probably would not buy it but get it from a rental source such as a library instead.
