Microbiome and Mindset | Skin Health, Heavy Metals, Histamines, Autism - Mary Ruddick Part 2

This is part 2 of a two-part interview with Mary Ruddick. You can listen to part 1 here: • Healing with Real Food...
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.
We discuss the following:
0:52 Thoughts on microbiome. Do we need diversity?
1:57 Fiber is a tool
3:48 Plant fiber for short-term fatty acids
6:27 Thoughts on skin microbiome
12:55 Thoughts on not eating fish because of mercury and PFAs
16:19 Buying conventional meat
18:42 Adding fish for omega-3s
21:26 Histamine issues on carnivore
27:35 Histamine symptoms to foods that are meat-based
29:34 Antihistamine probiotics in kimchi and kefir
30:37 Lifestyle component is important
36:32 Believe that your body is healing
38:41 Nervous system and mental health
41:06 The Blue Zone diet

Mary Glows! Really inspiring, and my son with autism has improved so much on a carnivore diet. Steak is so much cheaper than therapy.

[@HappilyCarnivore]

I thought maybe this went along with this topic. For the last 10 years I have had nothing but watery stools. I call it diarrhea, but I don't think it's the exact same thing, as I didn't have stomach cramps, nor severe urgency to go. Just when I went it was watery. Also, I went 3 to 6 times a day. But no cramps or having to rush to the bathroom or anything like that. I tried everything to reverse this. I ate PLENTY of fiber, I tried anti-diarrheals, did anything else that was mentioned, and nothing at all worked. Then I went keto for 9 months, and that didn't help either. When I went carnivore, about 3 months in I started having formed bowel movements, and rarely ever have watery stools. I stopped taking probiotics (which I had been taking for the last few years) about a month into carnivore. So now my bloating is gone, my bowels are almost back to normal, and I feel the best I've felt in a long time. Obviously my gut is healthy without fiber or probiotics.

[@beardumaw24]

After correcting insulin resistance with eating keto with intermittent fasting and now feeling healthy again I've experimented with my diet. Did not do well on a red meat only diet no matter now I varied it. Vegetarian was even worse, and so for me I feel best on a very low carbs diet, with lots of wild caught Alaskan salmon and local trout, grass-fed local meats, eggs, butters, steamed or sauteed vegetables, berries olives, seaweeds for extra iodine. No sugars grains, flours, PUFAS, or possessed foods. Feeling very healthy now. ❤

[@davidhenry6273]

Of all your brilliant interviews, this may be the very best. Ruddick has a level of understanding of diet and mental abilities that are truly inspiring.

[@NutritionwithJudy]

Ahh, thank you. Yes! I love that we can dig into the details because most of our clients fall into that category (where nuance matters a lot). I hope you found some tools to leverage for healing!💕

[@paulstevens6043]

They're censoring the comments. See the sub-thread below where Mary comments. She says she doesn't offer medical advice and that her group is just to ask questions. I was in her group and she stared directly into the camera and told people 'We're gonna fix you up', that they could pop out of long COVID, that Lyme Disease could be cured in 6 months, that a range of conditions could be reversed in 3-6 months. She was telling people she can cure all kinds of conditions in a matter of months. And now she is saying that she doesn't do that. Almost everyone in the group dropped out. She kept adding people as the months went by and then those new people would drop out themselves. I only heard one old woman say her condition was reversed (but she was still sick with other chronic fatigue?) The people commenting below work with Mary. Scott and Alex in the comments section aren't mentioning that. I get the impression Mary has taken some Tony Robbins or Scientology-type class on being assertive. It seems like she thinks that if she just says something forcefully enough that she can make it happen. It's not working.

[@jimdavis7671]

I'm 66 and have MS and lots of other problems, giving carnivore a try. Thanks for all you do.

[@BaconOfHealth]

Hello Jim! It's been a year or so. How are you doing? Any success?

[@peggy5003]

I love nutrition with Judy. This was part 2 if the interview. The woman being interviewed is documenting eating habits around the world. She has gone to the blue zones and found that many of the people are not really vegetarians. Funny.

[@sarahdean6441]

So inspiring. Brilliant interview. ❤

[@carolstonner8010]

Mary is such a joy to listen to. She exudes health and happiness!

[@akolley1]

Probably one of my favorite carnivore interviews, a breath of balanced air.

[@Annie-wx3kc]

This is one of the best interviews I have ever watched!Thank you so much! ❤ ❤❤

[@michaelajoseph6856]

I’m so grateful for both of you. Thank your for being so generous with your knowledge.

[@PeaceWithParenting]

What a wonderful interview. Mary is just so full of love and light I feel better just listening to her 💖

[@paulstevens6043]

Lindsey please read my comments above. These interviews are extremely misleading. Mary SAYS she has healed thousands of people. That's what she claims. I paid for her group and watched no one heal, no one reverse their condition, none of what she is gloating about happened. None of it. I have no idea how she is getting away with it. I saved my own life before her by eliminating all food but steak. I had never heard of the carnivore diet. She made things worse for me and it's not just my story either...literally no one in the group healed from their conditions. This woman is LYING. She wants money. She might as well be on television paid presentation like Suze Orman or someone like that.

[@robinq5511]

My Japanese mother-in-law taught me about how to keep food on the stove instead of the refrigerator by reheating it everyday. Works for me - I haven't been sick in years.

[@tanyasydney2235]

Please have Mary on again. She's fabulous!

[@allyssarea]

I love Mary’s perspective on things, she’s so sunny. I’d love to do what she does and find out the true diets of traditionally living people. She’s like a modern Weston Price. I wish I could be part of that! I’m very interested to know how she’s continuing to travel despite the mandates, I can’t imagine she’d risk her health by complying, but maybe I’m wrong.

[@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline]

SheSeems2smartToComply.

[@Aliciaskinsecret]

Lots of amazing information from two great women, thank you. From my experience people that feel that can’t heal no matter what and they don’t have the hope and drive it’s very possible their work/home or both has mold. When I was exposed to toxic mold nothing I did was working at one point I did give-up hope. I met many people like me in my journey to healing. Anyways mold is also spoken in the Bible in a few places Leviticus is a great place to start if your interested in reading about it. Amazing they even knew way back then the dangers of it. Now when something isn’t working it seems many not think about maybe the persons environment is toxic. What we breath-in will effect us just like what we eat

[@Mwilke3789]

I LOVE that she talks about the material's we wear and the over sanitation of our western world. I literally can't get enough of this conversation. The obsession we have with soap (bath and body works in highschool 😂 I can't) is crazy. I started using natural shampoo a year ago, it stripped all the silicones out of my hair so it looked like straw. After months of oiling my hair with coconut oil, tallow, and jojoba oil I got it healthy again. Here's what's crazy, my hair takes weeks to get as greasy as it used to in a couple days with commercial shampoos. In fact after 10 days if it starts to get a little heavier than I'd like I just scrub my scalp with water and those silicone shampoo scrubbers and all the excess oil is gone! I just spray it with ACV after and it's silky smooth. Before the oil was just sitting on my hair shaft, now it absorbs. I also don't use deodorant and haven't for years. I found out if I spray with ACV the smell completely goes away for a day in the summer or three-five days in the winter. It has to do with our body's PH.

[@perijon00]

Wait, switching to natural shampoo made you hair worse?

[@akolley1]

@@perijon00 only for a little while, it strips off the fake coating from the products used before. Then your hair is able to rebalance with it's natural oils. I am a stylist, and I have done this. I use Attitude nourishing shampoo and conditioner and no serums and my hair is much healthier now.

[@heathermacmaster9733]

Can I ask what the natural shampoo was please?

[@balisuncocoyt]

She already said... it was Attitude, a brand known in Canada but maybe not in the US or Europe. ​@@heathermacmaster9733

[@davidsalvador6031]

Can't get enough of you two. Thank you for the excellent information and uplifting attitude and mood!!!😊 You're pure gold in the carnivore/keto/diet community and the two most up to date and no-nonsense ladies to get the knowledge from, no frills and willing to raise controversy! 🙏👍

[@NutritionwithJudy]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful. I tried to be an educator online but Mary definitely brings out my more playful side =). I hope our talk brings encouragement and healing 💖

[@ummadam9608]

It's masterful isn't it? Beautiful flow.

[@Stockkhart]

Mary has such a positive approach to all things health, it's a blessing listening to her! Also thank you Judy for the incredibly valuable content you put out for free you are doing an incredible service to all of us seeking optimal health

[@vickimartin7601]

What a sweety. You two are great together. Wishing it wasn't over. Loved the "Blue Zone" talk. Always suspected meat being in the diet. Great interview. Felt like I was just a fly on the wall while you guys talked shop. And I am very interested in your shop talk.

[@CVo83]

Y’all’s energy together was palpable! So good, Judy! ❤️

[@shannonotoole6121]

Mary & Judy, you both are truly gems. It is so rare to find practitioners who understand the fundamental building blocks to healing. Mind/body/soul and nervous system re-wiring is foundational and paramount. I am doing limbic system training, and it has been a game-changer. Mary, I am joining your group in February and can't wait to learn more from your wisdom. I know you will not heal me - that is my accountability. Thank you both again.

[@lisabeeke7162]

Great, the best energetic interview ...thank you. Blessings.

[@fatfullday]

I have binge watched all her interviews the past few days. What an amazing woman! I hope to work with her group soon!

[@paulstevens6043]

I was in her group. NO ONE HEALED. Not one. Not a single person. I've never heard anyone talk a bigger game. I have heard her say on podcasts that her diets work 100% of the time. It was the exact opposite. Almost half the group dropped out after the first two months. She kept saying 3-6 months and at 6 months only 3 people were left from the original group. She kept adding people on a rolling basis...even though we could all see that none of these promises were happening. And those people would drop out. And the people who stayed did not reverse their conditions. I got better results figuring out carnivore on my own and also going backwards to a very limited keto diet. Mary's diet is the GAPS diet or Carnivore. Her sessions are almost all tips about constipation and diahrrea. You can message me if you want I am happy to share more.

[@UnlockYourWellness]

@@paulstevens6043 Mary saved my life I’ll defend her til the end of time. Im sorry you had a bad experience

[@paulstevens6043]

@@UnlockYourWellness It's not me Alex. It was the ENTIRE GROUP. I think I recognize you from one of the zoom calls. The Focus Session started in March of 2021 and almost every single person dropped out. Mary lets her clients download videos of each session so you can go back and see all the clients drop away. And see that no one is reporting their conditions are reversing or being cured or even being alleviated. How do you answer for that?

[@paulstevens6043]

Alex that's bad if that is your best explanation. She has not healed thousands of people. That's what she says. We woud need someone impartial to audit her work. At the very least she is lying over and over again on KZbin and on podcasts about her amazing results with her patients. I watched 30 separate clients come and go without healing. You have no explanation for that...or why she continues to take everyone's money when she can see it's not working. It's on video. I also don't see a beautiful soul in Mary. She giggles and smiles through these interviews. In the zoom calls that drops away she looks angry and tense and bored with people. Very different.

[@UnlockYourWellness]

@@paulstevens6043 I suppose my best explanation is if you put all responsibility of healing on the practitioner you’re working with and none of it on yourself then you won’t heal. Everything she gave me resonated with me when I worked with her and I took it and ran. I got better, but only after she gave me the roadmap. She’s helped thousands of other people heal. Maybe it just wasn’t a good fit for you. Again I’m sorry it didn’t work for you and I’m glad you’re better now but you don’t need to try to tear down such a beautiful soul.

@@NutritionwithJudyYOU CANNOT HEAL AUTISM WITH DIET. I HAVE AUTISM AND THIS IS OFFENSIVE. Also autism is not a mental health condition. It is a developmental disorder. Two different things. Please do not spout nonsense. You can work on social skills with autistic kids and do exposure therapy and CBD to help them navigate the world, but that is stuff that is done through Psychiatrist not a fucking nutritionist. You can manage autism you do not cure autism. That is absolute bullshit. Please do not talk about stuff that you have no idea what you’re talking about. I agree early intervention is important and early. Diagnosis is important. But diet does not cure autism. Pills do not care autism. Nothing cures autism. Just teaching autistic kids on helping them navigate the world a little bit better. And managing sensory issues and working on social issues. And working to understand facial expressions.

So It must be living in Austin where you don’t really don’t know the difference or the beauty of eating wild salmon or kussi oysters like we take for granted here in the Seattle.

Now I wondered why you promoted farmed salmon in you book! Your young someday you will wake up. Peace

If you’re prone to constipation, then yes, you need fiber. This is ridiculous advice. Fibre is important for regular bowel movements.
