154. Healing with Real Food | Liver, Iodine, Thyroid, Testosterone - Mary Ruddick Part 1

I really enjoyed my conversation with Mary Ruddick. She’s a practicing nutritionist and understands what works in “real life” versus what works in theory. We talked about what we’re seeing in our practices and what has been working for our patients. Mary Ruddick is a seasoned medical nutritionist, researcher, and philanthropist who specializes in metabolic, immune, and nervous system disorders. She spent the last several years traveling throughout Africa, the Blue Zones, and throughout remote regions of the world to observe the diets of those not affected by chronic, infectious, or emergent disease. She is currently studying with tribes throughout Latin and South America while concurrently conducting a twelve-month study on Neuropathy in the States. This is a two-part interview so stay tuned for part 2.​ We discuss the following: 1:48 All about Mary Ruddick 2:29 At what point should we decide that the diet is not working 4:01 Mary’s healing journey 6:09 Example of markers 8:57 Oxalate issues 9:54 Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) on a carnivore diet 12:21 Thiamine 16:08 Consuming organ meat 21:10 Who should really avoid consuming organ meat 21:48 Thoughts on folate 23:43 Thoughts on a carnivore diet being dangerous to thyroid health 26:56 Hypothyroid symptoms 32:25 Thoughts on supplementing iodine 39:27 Thoughts on fasting and hypothyroid on a ketogenic diet 42:08 Cori cycle and ATP energy cycle 44:18 Slow metabolism 47:32 Supplemental version of melatonin 48:08 Thoughts on supporting testosterone 51:01 Broccoli is one of the safer plant food 55:56 Thoughts on fruits 1:02:34 Outro ____ RESOURCES - Mary Ruddick: https://www.enableyourhealing.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maryruddickcnc - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/captainsoup - Captain Soup: https://captainsoup.com/ - Cows4Kids: https://www.cows4kids.com/ - Back to Joy: https://www.backtojoyprogram.com/ - Enable Your Healing Sessions: https://www.enableyourhealing.com/schedule - Back to Joy Program: https://www.backtojoyprogram.com/purchase/ ____ CHECK OUT MY BOOK, Carnivore Cure SIGN UP FOR MY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER : _____ ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Nutrition with Judy Articles Nutrition with Judy Resources Cutting Against the Grain Podcast _____ FIND ME 🌎 Website 📺 YouTube 🏞 Instagram 👤 Facebook _____ **DISCLAIMER: I am only here to provide support as a nutritional therapy practitioner and I am not providing medical advice.
