I’m very excited to share my first holistic survivor interview of 2022!
Dr. Ruby Lathon is an engineer turned holistic nutritionist, after healing herself of thyroid cancer by drastically changing her lifestyle through a plant-based diet. Dr. Lathon was featured in the hit documentary, What the Health and is in the newly released documentary, They’re Trying to Kill Us.
Dr. Lathon now teaches others about the benefits of plant-based nutrition through health conferences, workshops, vegan cooking classes, consultations and coaching programs. Dr. Lathon served as Nutrition Policy Manager at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, where she developed and led a national grassroots campaign to advocate legislation for more healthful, plant-based meal options in the National School Lunch Program. She is also the host of “The Veggie Chest”, a plant-based cooking show on Washington’s DCTV.
This interview is fantastic. You are going to love Dr Ruby’s energy, passion, enthusiasm and her remarkable healing story.
Note: There was some kind of mysterious glitch that affected my audio quality on this interview–I sound like I’m in a tin can–but fortunately Dr. Ruby sounds great!
Enjoy!
