Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP shared thisAs we've long heard, the gut is in constant dialogue with the brain (gut-brain/brain-gut axis), communicating through neural, hormonal, and immune pathways. These signals converge at the hypothalamus, the central hub of endocrine signaling, where they are interpreted and translated into whole-body responses. Adipose tissue is part of this conversation as well, sending feedback that helps shape how energy is stored and used. I’m excited to be sharing more about this expanded, systems-based view of the endocrine network at The Institute for Functional Medicine Annual International Conference next month!

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP shared thisA new 2026 paper in Food & Function argues that dietary polyphenols deserve more attention in postmenopausal health, not simply for their antioxidant effects, but for how they interact with the gut microbiome and influence immune, metabolic, and neurobiological signaling. The catch is that polyphenols depend heavily on microbial transformation, and postmenopause is marked by hormonal decline, inflammaging, metabolic shifts, and often polypharmacy, all of which can change how these compounds are metabolized and how the body responds to them. The authors also point out a major research gap: no human intervention trial has directly studied these interactions in postmenopausal women. This is an important reminder that the future of menopause care needs to think beyond hormones alone and include the microbiome, the gut-brain axis, and the personalized metabolism of phytonutrients.

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP shared thisA growing area in nutrition is the intersection of diet, the gut microbiome, and hormones. A recent review highlights the gut microbiome's role in estrogen physiology, particularly during midlife transitions. The gut is not just involved in digestion. It is part of the endocrine system. Through what is often referred to as the estrobolome, gut microbes influence how estrogens are activated, deactivated, and recirculated. Diet shapes this system. Fiber, polyphenols, and whole foods help support microbial diversity and the metabolites that influence estrogen balance. More processed, low-fiber dietary patterns can shift microbial activity, altering estrogen signaling. This becomes particularly relevant in menopause, where hormonal and microbiome changes occur simultaneously. There is a relationship between what we eat, how we metabolize hormones, and how those signals move through the body. Cynthia Thurlow, NP has a book on this topic, The Menopause Gut. Definitely check it out! https://lnkd.in/gy56Yc9xDiet, the Gut Microbiome, and Estrogen Physiology: A Review in Menopausal Health and InterventionsDiet, the Gut Microbiome, and Estrogen Physiology: A Review in Menopausal Health and Interventions

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP shared thisAs a nutrition scientist, I was trained to focus on what to eat, whether it was macros, micros, ratios, or amounts. That foundation still matters, but it is not the whole picture. We are learning more about how metabolism follows a daily rhythm, and how nutrition fits into that timing. Chrononutrimetabolism is what I call it. There is a sequence to metabolism across the day. During the active, light phase, the body is prepared to receive and process food. Glucose handling is strongest earlier, with a gradual shift toward lipid and protein metabolism as the day progresses. At night, physiology moves into fasting, drawing from stored energy to sustain the body during rest. Health is connected to how we align eating patterns with circadian rhythms that are already built into physiology. Timing is such an essential part of biology. We are rhythmic beings. I'm looking forward to presenting more on chrononutrimetabolism and other "rhythms" at the 9th Annual Lifestyle & Functional Medicine Conference this November in Dublin!

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP shared thisMitochondria continue to intrigue me. Emerging science shows they are not confined to cells but can be released into the extracellular space in multiple forms, including intact organelles, fragments, and vesicle-bound components. This process is regulated and influenced by cellular stress and activation, with roles in quality control, intercellular communication, and immune signaling. Extracellular mitochondria appear to participate in both physiological regulation and disease processes, with growing interest in their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. It is a reminder that biological systems rarely serve a single purpose. What we once viewed as discrete functions often reveal deeper layers of integration and communication. The body reveals itself in layers. I’m excited to be presenting on mitonutrition and quantum metabolism at the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute (PLMI) Thought Leaders Consortium this October!

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP shared thisOur framework for the endocrine system is changing. For decades, we focused on glands such as the thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries. Now a broader picture is emerging. Skeletal muscle is recognized as a dynamic endocrine organ that produces thousands of signaling molecules called myokines that communicate with the brain, liver, bone, adipose tissue, and immune system. Some estimates suggest there may be around 3,000 myokines, contributing to a complex network of autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine signaling. This reframes movement not just as mechanical but also as biochemical and endocrine. I would also say it's psychological. We are shifting from a gland-centric view to a networked, whole-body signaling system that is demonstrating the endocrine system as the crosstalk interface between the body and mind. More on this evolving view of the endocrine system in my talk at The Institute for Functional Medicine Annual International Conference this May!

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP shared thisWhen we think about the clearance of metabolites and waste, the focus is often on the gut, liver, kidneys, and skin. The brain also has its own clearance system. Through the glymphatic-lymphatic axis, fluid moves through brain tissue and ultimately drains into the lymphatic system, enabling the removal of metabolic waste, particularly during sleep. This process is rhythmic and influenced by sleep, vascular dynamics, and aging. If we are supporting detoxification systemically, the brain needs to be part of that conversation. This is an area I’ve been following and educating on for several years, and it remains an emerging clinical focus. I will be presenting on its role in women’s health and biology this July at Dr. Tori Hudson’s Institute of Women’s Health Conference. I'm looking forward to taking this information deeper into clinical insights for women going through menopause!

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP liked thisDeanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP liked thisBefore anything you breathe in reaches the lungs, it passes through the mucous membrane, a lining that helps trap and clear particles from the airways. This process depends on the mucociliary clearance system, which relies on mucus maintaining the right balance to be able to capture particles while still being cleared efficiently through coordinated cilia movement. Mucus also acts as a selective barrier, helping limit the movement of particles within the airways. For this system to function well, the conditions of the airway matter. Hydration, mineral balance, and the surrounding environment all influence how effectively particles can be trapped and cleared. Salt is one factor that can influence these conditions. Research has shown that it can affect how mucus functions as a barrier, supporting its ability to trap particles while still allowing for effective clearance. This helps explain why practices such as saline rinses, neti pots, salt inhalation, and salt-rich environments have been used to support respiratory health. In practice, this can look like: • Using saline rinses to support the sinus environment • Supporting airway conditions with salt inhalation • Being mindful of environmental factors such as dry air If you’d like to explore this more fully, including how mineral-rich salt can be used to support these conditions, you can learn more here: https://bit.ly/4huyp6k

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP liked thisDeanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP liked thisI've been practicing integrative medicine for 20+ years. And I spent a lot of that time under-equipped to help women in perimenopause and menopause, not because I didn't care, but because our conventional medical training was genuinely inadequate on this topic. The average woman sees multiple clinicians and waits years before getting a diagnosis that actually fits what she's experiencing. "Your labs are normal" becomes a kind of medical gaslighting, even when it's not intended that way. So I made this carousel for the women sitting in that gap, and for the clinicians who want to do better for them. 7 "When → Then" pairs that explain what's actually happening when: → You wake at 3 am, composing emails you'll never send (progesterone) → You walk into a room and forget why (estrogen + hippocampus) → Your metabolism stops cooperating despite nothing changing (insulin sensitivity shift) → You feel emotionally dysregulated in ways that feel foreign (serotonin/dopamine) → Hot flashes arrive uninvited (hypothalamic thermostat dysfunction) → Your labs say normal, but you don't feel it (fluctuating perimenopause hormones) This is integrative menopause medicine, treating the whole system, not just the symptom list. If this is useful, please share it. The women in your network deserve accurate information. #menopause #womenshealth #perimenopause #integrativemedicine #hormonehealth #womenleaders #midlifehealth #functionalmedicine #HRT #menopauseawareness #physicianeducation #womenover40 #hormonetherapy #preventivemedicine

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP liked thisDeanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP liked thisSupporting your health isn't only about what you add. It's also about the conditions your body is responding to. Grounding, or earthing, offers one way to influence those conditions across multiple systems. • Physical → supports how the body responds to inflammation • Mental → supports a more regulated stress response • Emotional → supports a more stable mood and reduced reactivity • Spiritual → creates moments of connection beyond routine These systems are not separate. They are interconnected, and they respond to the same inputs. Direct contact with the Earth is one of those inputs. Standing barefoot. Sitting on the ground. Spending time outside without distraction. Simple actions, but ones the body has historically been exposed to more consistently than it is today. Over time, small, repeated moments like this can begin to influence how the system as a whole responds. What would it look like to reconnect with that, even briefly, each day?

Deanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP reacted on thisDeanna Minich, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, IFMCP reacted on thisTen years. And now, a closing chapter. As I step away from The Institute for Functional Medicine after a decade, I’ve been reflecting on what this season of my life has given me, and the faces and moments that shaped it. Over these ten years, I traveled the world. I built relationships that changed me. I learned by sitting at dinner tables with some of the smartest, most generous thinkers and minds I’ve ever known. I grew not just in skill, but in confidence, perspective, and voice. I worked hard, but I didn’t grow alone. I’m deeply grateful for the leaders, mentors, and teammates who took time to invest in me, who encouraged me when I was still finding my footing, and who pushed me to speak up when I felt like a baby deer navigating the world. Their belief in me made the difference. That kind of leadership leaves a lasting imprint, long after titles and org charts change. I will always strive to be the kind, thoughtful leader you taught me to be. Ten years at one organization isn’t about standing still. It’s about choosing depth over speed. It’s about what happens when trust compounds, when you’re given space to evolve, and when growth is earned through challenge, consistency, and care. Longevity taught me resilience, accountability, and how to build something meaningful over time, and It it allows you to see the long arc of impact, yours and others’. This post, especially paired with these photos, (even if you’re not in these, you know who you are!), is about gratitude. About the people who made this chapter unforgettable. About the version of myself that entered wide-eyed, and the one leaving stronger, clearer, and ready. Endings can be bittersweet. But they are also open windows that let a fresh breeze in. Onward! With appreciation for what was, and excitement for what’s next. 🤗 #professionalgrowth #gratitude #leadership #mentorship #functionalmedicine #longevity
