Corey and Christine sit down with Mary Ruddick, an ancestral nutritionist and experiential anthropologist often described as a modern-day Weston A. Price. Mary never set out to work in health at all. She was training to be a marine biologist when an infection reached her brain and left her with severe nervous system damage, a condition called dysautonomia, which trickled into full disability and organ damage for roughly twelve years. After years of conventional medicine brought her close to kidney failure, she found the anthropological medical writings of the early 1900s, changed her diet and lifestyle, and slowly reversed a condition she'd been told was permanent. ✨ Topics Covered in This Episode: ✔️ Why…
