She Sings to Her Food?! PA Katie’s Wild Health Method That Works | Katie Ruffino | Ep. 90
What does it really take to feel vibrant, authentic, and well—in your body and in your life? In this episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Katie Ruffino (PA—Physician Associate), functional & regenerative medicine practitioner, creator of Katie in the Kitchen, singer, and mindset/NLP coach helping women (and men) reconnect to their true selves.
They dive into:
- Katie’s origin story: from 23-year-old PA to holistic healer and creator
- Food as medicine & why connecting to your meals (even singing to them!) changes everything
- Prevention–Detection–Intervention: Katie’s #1 for each (nervous system work, listening to early illness signals, and making sleep sacred)
- Vagus-nerve hacks (yes, humming), breath, sunlight, movement, community
- Why many patients don’t change—and how mindset & NLP unlock real results
- Detoxing more than your diet: releasing labels, people-pleasing, and the beliefs that keep you stuck
- Energetics & burnout: becoming the “lead heart cell” that lifts rooms, not just survives them
- Katie in the Kitchen: her cooking-interview series making healthy food fun and social
- The MAHA conversation: pushing for cleaner inputs—from plates to policies—so people can actually thrive
