Who is Mary Ruddick?

Mary Ruddick is a Human Ecologist and microbiome expert known for reviving the ancestral human microbiome. Part researcher, part explorer, she has traveled through deserts, jungles, highlands, Arctic regions, and even conflict zones to study the diets and microbial patterns of the world's last traditional cultures. Her work reveals how these untouched tribes maintain extraordinary health across generations without modern medicine.

From scientific stages to remote ceremonial sites, Mary is sought after to explain why modern health is declining and how to restore what humans have lost. Her approach blends neurobiology with microbial science, using ancestral "birthright" microbes to rebuild resilience. Through her global practice, teachings, and 100+ podcast appearances, she guides people back to the original human blueprint—symbiotic, sovereign, and vibrantly alive.
