i've been a bit of a health nut my whole life, raised vegetarian, and went vegan in high school. Heard about raw foods through David wolfe's "eating for beauty" my senior year of high school but it wasnt until i read Natalia Rose's books that i was able to transition to a very high raw diet over the last couple of years..

thank you for the compliment. I think it comes from belly dancing which I do occasionally. I do Pilates once a week, hike tons. Really I don't have any serious work out, just play and reap the benefits from that. I think the raw food plays a big role too. I tend to be on the lean side and have to make sure I get a good dose of healthy fats in my diet. I'm telling u, try belly dancing, and your stomach will feel it more than any sit up, laugh.
Hey sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Yes, I met with Natalia and know her through GIl Jacobs, I see him once a week, sometimes once every other depending on my hectic schedule and how I am feeling. I totally needed it regularly in the beginning, he's the best, truly, I would be so sick without him. Well, I don’t know if you definitely need a treatment every week because it seems as if you may be transitioning at a slower rate given the added protein fish, chix etc. to the diet this may be a good and bad thing, how do you feel? Totally judge it by your state of wellness and vibrational capacity, you will just know. Are you sluggish or light? Are you thinner than normal; are you regular, retaining water etc? You have to learn to know yourself, this is what I have found is the key in taking control of my health. Knowing when to fast and when to have veggies or something cooked, it all takes time though, patience, love of yourself.

wwoofing was incredible! I wwoofed for about 3 months in CA a few years ago. I met AMAZING people and learned a lot. over the time span i worked at two very different places that i found through wwoof, first a mulberry/carob farm in ojai and then a hostel/plum orchard. both were great in their own ways but different in work exchange approach (different tasks, expectations, etc). where are you thinking of wwoofing? I highly recommend it! i was initially traveling alone but met folks along the way whom i traveled with. i've been strongly considering wwoofing again this spring, going across country farming feels like what should be doing right now..
I feel fungal overgrowth is the biggest threat to human health today and it's always wise to win the war on candida. I used to be really into making sure I didn't eat any food that raw vegans considered toxic and be really dogmatic. I prefer livin...

I still have trouble knowing a lot of the theories are true that as so prevalent in the raw food world. Like when a person detoxes that parasites and metals come to the surface of their skin or are expelled from their body in other ways. I was jus...

i like sub-acid sweet pineapples. but the losers have like a patent on the 'head' - so u can never buy them with the heads on. i love planting pineapple heads though.
pineapples are weird eh. Wiley old foxes.
Can you just eat more volume so you don't binge? also, what about eating really dense herbs like a bunch or two of parsely or basil put into a pesto? Parsely is high in iron so you can make a tabouli with it and use oranges instead of tomatoes- it...
