For decades, I’ve been teaching to “eat the rainbow,” but more specifically, there is a reason why we need each color.
🌈
As I explained in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism in 2019, there is a “code” or a “functional signature” of each color. If you miss a color in the daily diet, you could be missing out on a function of the phytochemicals in that color of food.

Color is one of the first places to start with eating. It’s the way to get phytochemicals without thinking about it. It’s a way to become nourished without counting calories.
✨🌈
I go into more detail in my new book, The Rainbow Diet, launching next month on Amazon! I go into the four principles of eating (color, creativity, diversity, and rhythm), the “code” for each color, and practical recipes and tools to make it come to life. If you’ve been following me for awhile on social media, it’s like a synthesis of all my social media posts into a book, ready to go!

After 20 years of practicing medicine, here is something I wish more people believed sooner.

How you expect your future to go quietly shapes how your body moves through it.

Research consistently shows that people who hold a more hopeful, optimistic outlook tend to live longer, even after accounting for their existing health and habits.

This is not about pretending everything is fine.

It is about your brain deciding the future is worth investing in.

When you believe tomorrow can be better, you sleep a little earlier. You take the walk. You keep the appointment.

Optimism is not a personality you are born with. The evidence suggests it can be practiced, like a muscle.

In my practice, the patients who recover best are rarely the ones who got lucky.

They are the ones who decided their story was not finished.

One woman told me she was too old to start. A year later she was walking three miles a day and sleeping through the night for the first time in a decade.

Nothing about her age changed. Only what she believed was possible.

Your body is listening to the story you tell about it.

What is one hopeful thing you can choose to believe about your health today?
