"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 educational 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 epigenetic aspects that underlie various physical and mental health disorders.   She is a specialist in the field of autoimmunity, histamine intolerance (MCAD), mental disorders, and nervous system disorders to include dysautonomia, seizure disorders, and autism. 

​

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 miraculous healing journey, she emphasizes the balance of both.  Meditation, cold therapy, light therapy, and limbic system exercises are used extensively in her programs.

Why Nutritional and Limbic Therapy?

They can help with

Digestion

Both our immune systems and our nervous systems are primarily found in the gut lining.  If your gut isn't healthy, you are not healthy. 

Nervous System Disorders

Did you know that our nervous system has a food?  Or that it regrows every six months?  Specific foods and lifestyle habits help to rebuild and balance the nervous system while others cause it harm. 

Mental Health

The bulk of our feel-good chemicals like serotonin are made within the gut lining.  Learn how to turn on your own receptors and create a wellspring of joy!

Autoimmunity

With the bulk of our immune system in our gut lining, you can influence its behavior with each bite of food. 

Weight Loss

Weight issues are a result of inflammation and not an issue with caloric consumption.  Learn how to decrease your own inflammation and transform into that thin person you always knew you could be. 

Cancer

Cancer is ultimately an issue with an under-active immune system.  Learn how to rebuild your own immune system while simultaneously starving cancer cells of their primary foods. 

 
 

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
