Zibby is joined by writer and runner Jacqueline Alnes to discuss THE FRUIT CURE, a spellbinding and unforgettable journey through the world of fruitarianism and a powerful critique of our healthcare system and wellness culture. Jacqueline shares her college experience as a Division One runner and the abrupt onset of mysterious neurological symptoms that led her to explore unconventional wellness practices. She talks about her fascination with fruitarianism (have you heard of the 30 bananas a day diet?), her eventual diagnosis, and the impact of this experience on her relationship with running, food, herself, and others. Finally, she reflects on her writing process, her current life teaching university classes, and the potential for future writing projects.
