I read an article about Ahbez last year - it went into his early history in (I think) the 1930s around the health food movement, and also about the legal troubles that an attempt to make a documentary about him got into. But now I can't find the article. I seem to recall that his friends had lots of unreleased recordings but weren't allowed to put them out because whoever ended up with the rights to his estate was being unreasonable.

I was surprised by how much he and others anticipated the hippies already in the 1930s. https://lyrakilston.com/2015/03/05/the-remarkable-nature-boys-of-los-angeles/ has a lot of that backround.
