For years, functional medicine has focused on lab results and supplement protocols. Dr. Deanna Minich knows there's a deeper layer most practitioners miss. As a nutrition scientist who worked under Dr. Jeffrey Bland and educated for the Institute for Functional Medicine, she's witnessed how artificial light at night disrupts women's hormones more than almost any other factor, yet it's completely ignored.In this episode, Dr. Minich reveals why 85% of people are Omega-3 deficient despite supplementing, how eating a rainbow of 30+ plant species weekly rebuilds your microbiome diversity, and why your skin's "photo-metabolome" produces healing compounds from sunlight that Vitamin D pills can never provide. She explains the Goldilocks principle of sun exposure, why most women only get 11-15 grams of fiber daily when they need triple that, and how stress functions as a toxin that triggers leaky gut and impairs detoxification. Dr. Minich also shares why women's heightened sensitivity isn't a weakness but a powerful gift for intuition and healing.If you're tired of functional medicine that stops at labs and supplements, this conversation offers a comprehensive framework integrating circadian optimization, creative expression, gut diversity, and the spiritual aspects of women's health that determine true longevity.Guest’s socials + websiteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaminich/Website: https://deannaminich.com/Kayla's social + website:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaylabarnes/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@femalelongevityTwitter: https://x.com/femalelongevityWebsite: https://www.kaylabarnes.com/Follow Her Female Protocol: https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.com/Become a Member of Kayla's Female Longevity Membership: https://kayla-barnes-lentz.circle.so/checkout/become-a-member
