Hi Rebecca
This podcast came at the perfect time as I’m preparing to embark on the elemental diet journey. I’m going to use Dr. Ruscio’s Elemental Heal.
I was surprised it wasn’t mentioned on the podcast. What are your thoughts on elemental heal?
Thank you
Raquel
I’ve got a podcast coming up later this year with Dr Michael Ruscio all about Elemental Heal. I hope you find it helpful when it airs.
