Exploring Life & Business with Dr. Ruby Lathon of Roadmap to Holistic Health

Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Ruby Lathon.

Hi Dr. Lathon, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In 2007, I was a systems engineer and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Not liking the treatment options, I decided to investigate natural methods of healing. The only option given was surgery to remove my thyroid, which meant that I’d need to take medication forever.

I started to research natural methods of healing and drastically changed my lifestyle and switched to a plant-based diet. A year later, I had successfully healed myself using only a plant-based diet, supplements, and meditation.

After my recovery, I switched careers and became a holistic nutritionist to teach others how to re-engineer their health and live disease-free. With my career change, I started helping others heal naturally and live better and healthier lives, taking a holistic approach. So many people have been inspired and encouraged with my story and it gives them the courage to listen to their intuition. I have spoken to groups around the world and inspired them to take charge of their health.

To help people make the transition to a healthy plant-based diet, I started “The Veggie Chest,” a plant-based cooking show which is aired on Washington’s DCTV. In addition, I lend my expertise to Body Complete Rx (BCRX), a wellness brand with a complete range of plant-based health and beauty supplements available at The Vitamin Shoppe.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
One of the biggest challenges was going against my doctor’s advice and rejecting traditional treatment. This meant I had to create my own treatment plan and find naturopathic doctors and research alternative methods of healing. Another challenge was changing my mindset about how the body heals and how critical it is to understand how our emotions and beliefs affect our health and healing.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Roadmap to Holistic Health?
Through my organization, I teach others how to heal themselves and about the benefits and power of plant-based nutrition through health conferences, workshops, vegan cooking classes, consultations, and customized coaching programs. During the pandemic Zoom allowed me to reach new audiences across the country and internationally.

How can people work with you, collaborate with you, or support you?
The best way to connect with me is through my website, (RubyLathon.com). There I offer personalized nutrition and coaching plans to address various health issues. You can also sign up for my newsletter which alerts you to online cooking demos, events and nutrition talks that you can attend via Zoom. The website also provides additional information about my free resources including a weekly wellness call, recipes and more.
