In this inspiring episode of Thyroid-Healthy Bites, we explore how color can be a joyful, practical pathway to nourishment, energy, and thriving. 🌈

My guest, Dr. Deanna Minich—a nutrition scientist, educator, and author—shares the evidence behind colorful plant foods, how they support energy, hormones, and thyroid-friendly eating, and why shifting from restriction to curiosity helps make healthy habits stick.

  • Three simple ways to get started today
