Enable Your Healing

"It is health that is true wealth and not pieces of gold and silver." -- Mahatma Gandhi

Meet Mary Ruddick

Director of Nutrition

Welcome!  Mary is a nutritionist, teacher, and author of books and online programs.  People come to Mary to resolve their otherwise impossible health conditions.  She teaches them tools they can implement to rebuild their own immune systems, nervous systems, holobiome, and microbiome and once again take control of their health. 

​

Mary Ruddick specializes in rebalancing the microbiome by addressing nutritional and genetic aspects that underlie various physical and mental health disorders. She considers and rules out the possibility of genetic components like pyroluria, EDS, and MTHFR which can present as insomnia, anxiety, and eating disorders.  She is a specialist in the field of autoimmunity, histamine intolerance, and MCAD. 

​

Mary is the owner of Enable Your Healing.  She runs several programs online including Systems that Heal and The Back to Joy Program.  Her recipe books and meal plans can be found both on this site and on Amazon. 

​

Having used both lifestyle and dietary changes on her own healing journey, she emphasizes the balance of both.  Meditation, cold therapy, light therapy, and limbic system exercises are extensively used in her programs.

TESTIMONIALS

“Without Mary, I never would have healed my body.  Before working with her, I had tried several diets and protocols, but my panic disorder, obesity, and Hashimoto's persisted.  It was not until I implemented both her diet and lifestyle recommendations that I achieved remission.  It is not easy, and she required that I sacrifice a great deal, but what I gained in return is priceless.”  K.B. in Colorado.

"Working with Mary has been a life changing experience!  She has helped my wife and I live better and feel better.  With her help we have been able to stop taking dangerous, life shortening prescription medications; our health has improved to the point we simply don’t need them!  She has guided us beyond diabetes, a traumatic brain injury, migraine headaches, skin cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome and so much more.  She is so knowledgeable and empathetic.   We simply can’t imagine our lives (and our health) without her.” -- David and Pam Perrich in Florida
