About me
My story
My name is Maria Mazza, and I have successfully healed myself from serious health issues that affected my quality of life until the age of 35. My symptoms began at the age of six, when I started experiencing excruciating leg pain that kept me awake most nights. This pain impacted my health, mood, and overall well-being, often leaving me awake and in tears during the night. As a result, I was a cranky child, as pain can deeply affect a person.
Throughout my 20s, I consulted several doctors about my leg pain, only to be prescribed Tylenol 3, sleeping pills, birth control, and various other medications. A nerve specialist, referred by a medical doctor, couldn’t find a solution and diagnosed me with a “dead nerve” in my leg, suggesting I would need to rely on pain medication for life.
In high school, I received a vaccine that left me temporarily paralyzed, unable to see or walk for a few hours. Looking back, I realize this incident, along with other factors, contributed to my symptoms worsening over time. I experienced a loss of motivation, concentration, and a decline in my eyesight.
Determined to find a solution, I delved deep into literature and studied books written in the early 1900s to uncover the truth about our natural human diet. Through this extensive research, I discovered the path to healing and have since dedicated myself to helping others achieve optimal health.

At the age of 35, I was at my worst health-wise. We had moved to a 7-acre organic farm, raising grass-fed cows and chickens, and consuming organic eggs and raw milk, believing this was the healthiest food available. However, my migraines and other health symptoms worsened, leading to bouts of hopeless depression.
Over 10 years ago, while on the farm, I experienced a severe health crisis. I suddenly couldn’t stand, lost muscle control, and was in immense pain. For days, I could only shuffle around until a chiropractor’s adjustments helped me function again. This incident prompted me to question the diet I believed was healthy.
Shortly after, I discovered a book which revealed that meat, dairy, and eggs are acidic and should be eliminated from my diet. This was a significant change, especially since we relied on animal products from our farm. Realizing the hypocrisy of supplying products I no longer consumed, we decided to leave the farm, as it had become a pointless and harmful endeavor.
As I began to feel symptom relief, I discovered Arnold Ehret’s book “Rational Fasting,” which profoundly impacted me. It was one of the most important books I’ve ever read. Through trial and error, I eventually embraced natural hygienic principles, which greatly improved my health.
Today, I co-run a natural diet support group with Lauren Whiteman and Farris, helping people transition to a healthier diet based on these principles. I also offer one on one personalized health consultations & coaching packages. This journey has elevated my health and transformed my life and I know it can for you too!
Summary of what I did to get well.
Over the past 11 years, I have dedicated myself to learning and applying the principles of optimal health. Through extensive research and personal experience, I discovered the importance of a natural diet and lifestyle. While my journey involved trial and error, each step brought me closer to understanding what truly supports well-being. By embracing natural hygienic principles and making informed dietary choices, I have transformed my health and now help others do the same.
Today, I thrive on a healthy, high-raw food diet consisting mainly of fruits, leafy greens, raw vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Transitioning to this diet was a process, but I wouldn’t change it for anything because it allows me to enjoy amazing health.
