In this conversation with Diane Ducarme we discuss the links between our diet and health and migraines, and how her time in China helped her uncover principles ignored in Western medicine. We also hear about her childhood, learning 7 languages and travel around the world before she settled in New Zealand. I really enjoyed this conversation #333 and if you do as well why not check out other interviews at www.theseeds.nz
