The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition

In this powerful episode, Detective Ev sits down with Christine Ruch, a Holistic Transformation Guide who helps people with unresolved health conditions reconnect to their body’s innate wisdom and healing potential.

Christine shares her unique process of nervous system restoration, a holistic approach that restores harmony within the nervous system to align the body, mind, and spirit. This alignment activates our inherent healing codes and creates the conditions for deep, authentic healing from within—far beyond symptom management.

After spending over 20 years healing her own Multiple Sclerosis and chronic health conditions naturally, Christine now guides others through a transformative blend of whole food nutrition, nervous system regulation, and both Eastern and Western healing modalities. Her work bridges science and soul, offering grounded practices and empowering insights for anyone ready to reclaim their health from the inside out.
