Inappropriate Growth: Breaking the Boundaries of Health with Mayim Vega

In a recent episode of the Inappropriate Growth podcast, I had the opportunity to share my personal journey from the world of NASA computer science to holistic healing—a path that was not planned but was instead fueled by a deep need for real solutions after the traditional medical system failed me.

As a former computer scientist at NASA, I was well-versed in logical thinking and data-driven decisions. But it wasn’t until I experienced a health crisis that I realized the limitations of conventional medicine. After battling debilitating migraines that doctors couldn’t explain, I turned to holistic health solutions. The more I studied, the more I realized that the answers I sought were not going to come from the very system I had once trusted. This led me to a complete career shift, where I began studying nutrition, herbalism, and holistic health to heal myself and eventually help others.

Today, I am a naturopathic herbalist, combining ancient wisdom with modern healing practices to guide people on their own health journeys. In this podcast, I shared how I went from being a patient looking for answers to becoming a holistic healer who empowers others to take control of their health.

Through my work, I focus on the concept of holistic health—addressing not just physical symptoms but also emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness. I also touched on the importance of detoxing from the various toxins in our environment, from food and chemicals to the stress of modern life. But my journey didn’t stop there. I dove into how the modern healthcare system is not designed to find root causes and how the influence of big pharma plays a huge role in shaping the treatment options available to us. The idea that health can be about more than just pills, but rather about total mind-body-spirit alignment, was a key part of our conversation.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with the mainstream healthcare system or wondered if there’s more to your health than what you’re told, this episode is for you. We explored how you can take charge of your own health by tapping into the knowledge of holistic healing—whether it’s through herbs, proper nutrition, or detoxing. I shared how it’s possible to reclaim your vitality through understanding your body’s needs and seeking alternative, natural solutions.

I also talked about how I built Arukah.com, a platform where I help others learn how to become empowered health coaches and healers themselves. Running my own holistic health business wasn’t easy—it took hard work, study, and the courage to go against the grain. But with the right tools, mindset, and support, it’s possible to build a business that’s both fulfilling and impactful.

If you’re looking to create a life of wellness and explore a holistic approach to health, I invite you to visit Arukah.com. There, you’ll find resources, courses, and a supportive community designed to empower you to take charge of your health and live your best life.

Let’s continue to challenge the status quo and create a new path forward in health and wellness. It’s time to break free from outdated systems and embrace holistic healing that truly works.
