102. From NASA to Natural Healing: How Mayim Vega Left Space Tech to Heal the Human Body

Rich Herrera Episode 102

What would make a NASA computer engineer walk away from a dream career in cutting-edge space technology? For Mayim Vega, it was a personal health crisis that modern medicine couldn’t solve.

In this episode of Eat Your Content, Mayim shares her incredible journey from working on advanced nanotechnology and automation at NASA to becoming a leading voice in holistic healing. After facing debilitating migraines and finding no answers from doctors, she turned her engineering mindset inward, treating her body like a machine that needed the right inputs to thrive.

Mayim reveals how she discovered the root cause of her illness, why she believes natural remedies can be more effective than pharmaceuticals, and how this transformation led her to create Aruka.com, a holistic health academy that trains others to become certified healers.

We also dive into:

  • The surprising link between diet, stress, and chronic illness
  • Why Western medicine often fails to address root causes
  • The role faith plays in healing and resilience
  • How anyone can start taking control of their health naturally

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the healthcare system or wondered if there’s a better way to heal, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible.
