Whole Detox: A 21-Day Personalized Program to Break Through Barriers in Every Area of Your Life Paperback – Illustrated, March 7, 2017

Dr Minich has done a stellar job in writing Whole Detox which I am personally thrilled to own - both on Kindle edition and hardback. These are the points that will sell any inquisitive person that this is a must-have book in their library:1) As a fellow nutritionist, the fact that Dr Minich has 400 references in the bibliography tells me she is a serious student, researcher, and scientist on the subject of detoxification for the spirit, soul, and body.2) Yes, detoxification must happen on multiple-dimensional levels if we are to truly come clean and Dr Minich is brilliant in delving into the deep things, yet it is done in a very personal, encouraging way.3) The recipes are simple, yet profound in the use of botanicals and macronutrients that have a very, very powerful effect in sweeping toxins out of our body. Having personally gone through the program the recipes are spot on in their efficacy.4) Dr Minich elucidates the seven systems of energy, moving through them with great clarity and incite.5) The all-encompassing program leaves no stone unturned as it covers affirmations, meditations, yoga, other forms of movement, guided visualizations, the beautiful, healing use of color, the foods which includes the use of spices, botanicals, our body's need for protein especially during a time of detoxification, etc6) Dr Minich gives many suggestions of adjunct ways we should be detoxifying such as the use of a far infrared sauna, forest bathing, even crying.7) And lastly, she gives you steps what to do after the 21-day program is done so you know how to reintroduce those foods you abstained from during the cleanse.

I was attracted by the "colors" put up by Dr. Deanna Minich on Facebook. They are always vibrant, exuberant, 'moving', alive, and holistic. That last factor attracted me more to follow her to see what her status updates are every time. By that time she announces her book "WHOLE DETOX" i knew I would like to get to know more about what this whole thing is about. I pre-ordered the book and when it arrived, my mental mode has already begun its journey. As it happens, she has a 21-day whole detox program coinciding with the book arrival. It could not have been a better match in terms of timing and personal journey. I love the real example of who she is and how she conducts her own life, based on her status, her words, her voice, her interactions with numerous healthcare practitioners of different discipline, her whole persona, and her dynamic energy embracing the "whole spectrum' of well-being, that goes beyond just restrictive and painful dieting to reduce the waistline, to look slim and 'pretty'. To me, this is not a book to read from page one to page 386. It is a living, breathing experience that compassionately nudges, reminds, guides, encourages, embraces me to really take stock of who I am in totality, and how I want to live the best version of this breathing, pulsating, living mind, body and spirit that make up who I am. The name itself, without knowing or having the connection with Dr. Deanna Minich, will not really attract me, as I have failed at every single detox I wanted to get on. It's just not a fun journey. But this experience of whole-some detox is nourishing, inviting, compassionate, kind, easy, comfortable, honest, and down to earth. I feel that it is a shift in a fundamental level towards the authenticity of health and inner joy. To me, t's a holistic journey in practical steps. I hope more people will see the spectrum of wealth and health through the wisdom in this book and by this author, and begin their own painter of colors in their lives.

It methodically guides us through the complex maze of physical, mental and spiritual impediments that can stifle our successful passage into balance.
