Description:
In this episode, Devin sits down with Christine Ruch, a holistic transformation guide who has spent decades learning how to heal from the inside out — starting with her own 20-year journey with a chronic health condition.
Christine breaks down why mainstream medicine often falls short for people with chronic illness, how unprocessed childhood trauma keeps the nervous system dysregulated, and why true healing is less about finding the right treatment and more about restoring alignment from within.
They also discuss the difference between a coach and a guide, the MAHA movement, SNAP benefits and food access, and what people newly diagnosed with MS or other chronic conditions should know first.
