EVEN MORE about this episode! What if true health begins by returning to nature’s original design? In this eye-opening episode, Julie Ryan sits down with Udo Erasmus—renowned nutrition pioneer and champion of healthy fats—to explore how modern life has pulled us away from the wisdom of the natural world. From Udo’s life-altering experience with pesticide poisoning to his groundbreaking discoveries about oils, digestion, and cellular health, this conversation challenges everything you think you know about food, wellness, and vitality. Together, we dive into why processed foods, indoor living, and even common lifestyle habits may be working against our bodies—and how simple shifts toward plant-based eating, natural spices, and honoring the body’s design can support immunity, clarity, and long-term well-being. Udo also shares powerful insights about fear, personal sovereignty, and the importance of questioning narratives around health so you can make informed, empowered choices for yourself. Woven throughout the conversation is Udo’s remarkable personal story—from surviving the chaos of World War II to receiving profound moments of insight that shaped his life’s mission. This episode bridges nutrition, consciousness, and spiritual awareness, offering a compelling invitation to reconnect with nature, trust your inner guidance, and rediscover what it truly means to live in harmony with your body and the world around you.
