MANDY BLUME

​

Mandy Blume is an author, researcher, clinical nutritionist, mom and wife to an engineer and builder. Her journey into nutrition began when their first child was born with an anoxic brain injury, a life-altering event that set her family on a new path. Determined to find answers beyond the “incurable” prognosis, Mandy discovered the Weston A. Price Foundation and built relationships with local farmers, shifting her focus from a career in pediatric urology to the healing power of nutrition and lifestyle adjustments. Through this redirection, she witnessed not only profound improvements in her son’s condition but also unexpected recoveries from her own lifelong IgE, life-threatening allergies. With a relentless heart for children, Mandy and her husband fostered many and continue to advocate for some of society’s most vulnerable youth, those who are statistically the most medicated and at risk of incarceration. She has seen firsthand the consistent, transformative role of epigenetics in their lives. With ongoing research in nutrigenetics, neurology and endocrinology through a doctoral candidacy, author of a best-selling cookbook, “Real Food Recovery”, Mandy founded a 501(c)3 nonprofit supplying food and education to children at risk and advocates for foster and neurodivergent children. Her practice at drmommy.com empowers new moms and families to “clean up” and personalize lifestyles to mitigate adverse reactions from endocrine-disrupting chemicals everywhere!
