We are all addicts

February 25, 2011

We are all addicts; how can we not be? Our daily routine is filled with a constant overload of stress, hurry, worry and lack. Each person has their own personal vice. You might be one of those people who believe that they are not an addict (Such as the "K's Choice Song" that refers to this), but I am here to tell that there is a 99.9% chance that you do have some sort of addictive behavior. Whether it is food, drug, activity, etc… Figure out your addiction, recognize it and always work on ...

What a mess you are…

February 18, 2011

Sometimes I think to myself, “What a mess you are.” My mind says these words without any reasoning behind the statement. I don’t know how long this has been happening unconsciously in my mind, maybe many years. However, I am currently conscious of this behavior and have stopped to ask myself why it happens.

Today I stated the phrase above to myself, and looked up to see a dingy middle aged man. He sat in a coffee shop alone. Based on his appearance, complete with a plastic bag filled w...

February 1, 2011

What if the assumption and information we are getting lately to "take MORE omega 3" is doing more harm than good?

What if we are looking at the omega fatty acid ratios in the wrong way?

What if we do NOT need MORE fat in our diets?

Below is a video I did about how to change our perspective about fats, how more is not always better, and how to make some sense of the fatty acid dilemma. Stay tuned for part two! Please subscribe to our youtube videos if you enjoy the info aat www.youtube.com/rawhe...

Water Fasting Mistakes

January 20, 2011

I was inspired to make the video below about the top 5 mistakes people make when they embark on a water fasting journey. While not everyone makes ALL of the mistakes, many of us make a few of them.

Because a short, intuitive, 4-day water fast I did was so successful, I wanted to pass along some of the experience so that we stay safe as we cleanse and have the best experience possible.

Are you riddled with thoughts of cleansing merely to lose weight?

Do you tend to binge on food in the middle of...

RAW FOOD COLLEGE GUY!

January 16, 2011

This is part 4 of a series of interviews we did with Sam Spaiser of www.samsrawtruth.com. What intrigued me so much about Sam was his ability to be a low fat raw vegan (or in other terms, an 80-10-10er) at college, in Indiana nonetheless! What a great commitment this takes (never mind the fact that he is completely beyond the need for the typical beer and keg raging parties typical of campus life). For parts 1 through 3 of this interview, please visit our tv show at www.youtube.com/rawheali...

Wild Edible Plant: Wood Sorrel

December 22, 2010

Wood sorrel is one of the most common edible wild plants. It is easy to identify and has a zangy, lemon taste. Wood Sorrel is a great wild food for kids.
