Did you know that your gut health is connected to heart health- high blood pressure, arrhythmias, cholesterol, heart disease, attacks, strokes?
While it has been known for some time, new cardiac research is showing foods you eat, how you digest, and having good gut microbes are key components to good heart health. Gut health strengthens the immune system, lowers inflammation, and reduces chronic stress. Studies are also recommending personalized wellness strategies to meet individual differences for optimizing your gut as keys to your heart health. See links below.

This is gut informed wellness. Supporting your gut and all its connections for your whole health.

I hope this is a helpful insight for you. And pass it along to help someone you know.

We could not agree more! Thank you Deanna Minich, PhD.

Honoring and caring for all hearts and heart connections this month.
🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙

February is Heart Health Month, and with Valentine’s Day on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the heart in its fullest expression. 💚

My weekly newsletter that went out this morning provided a Heart Healthy Guide with some nutrition and lifestyle features. If you would like to receive my newsletter, be sure to sign up through my website: www.deannaminich.com.

The heart is more than a pump.
It is physical and electrical.
Emotional and relational.
Mental and perceptive.
Energetic and spiritual.

Across traditional healing systems, the heart has long been viewed as the seat of consciousness, a center where awareness, meaning, and connection come together.

My husband is an acupuncturist, and I remember him telling me years ago about how in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is the “seat of our divinity” where our true destiny lies. Perhaps that is why we consistently receive messages about “following our hearts.” 🩷

Modern science is beginning to echo this wisdom. Heart rate variability reflects our adaptability and resilience. Breath, gratitude, compassion, and social connection influence cardiovascular function. Our emotional state literally shapes our physiology.

When we care for the physical heart, we support circulation and longevity.
When we cultivate emotional openness, gratitude, and compassion, we support coherence.

This season, consider heart health as a whole-person practice:
• Nourish with colorful, plant-rich foods
• Breathe slowly and rhythmically
• Move your body regularly
• Practice gratitude and connection
• Give and receive love (self-love included!)

Science gives us the mechanisms for the intellect.
Spirituality helps us live them through intuition.

The more we align physiology with presence, the more the heart becomes not just a pump, but a pathway to our highest potential. ✨💚✨

Are you feeling stuck on your health journey? Have you ever had the thought or feeling that there just some piece of information missing that would help get your health turned around so you could feel better? Do you still feel off but your labs and tests are all “normal”?

Its rooted in your gut and regular labs can’t show the connection.

This is one of the reasons I have been using Zyto biocommunication.

To me, it shows connections and insights to help you see where your body is uniquely out of balance and needs support. This way, we can get your health and healing back on track so you can feel good again.

Your Gut is your Second Immune system!
Care for your microbes well by:
Adding fiber = greens &beans
Add immune boosting spices like Garlic and Onions
Consider a daily probiotic to support the good microbes

Happy 2026! For many people like myself and maybe you too, its that time of year we begin to look at the year ahead and set a direction for how we want to show up and grow. Lots of people call this their New Years Resolutions. To me those resolutions felt ominous, so I gave them up and started to look at simpler, daily doable things I could commit to. One was meal planning and cooking for the week. Before I’m ready to go to the grocery for the week, I jot down 3 dinner ideas for the upcoming week. In our house, we found 3 planned meals a week gives us 2 meals in one…a dinner for the night and left over for lunch the next day, and sometimes it goes further. We cook on Sunday afternoon for the week ahead and then we can just grab and go. Friday nights and Saturdays are flex.
