- About Me:
- I am from Austin, TX but I am going to school in Sarasota, FL right now. I have been raw since October 2007. The most wonderful part of eating raw for me has been the immense spiritual opening I have experienced as a result. I have always been very conscious about what I put into my body because I am extremely sensitive to food and very aware of its effects on me and I feel that I have finally found a diet that works for me, all parts of me! Raw food has even enabled me to stop taking my thyroid medication! (I found out it was made from thyroid hormone from slaughtered pigs!) Eating raw has helped me to feel light and nimble and truly deepened my yoga practice. Yoga and raw food are my two main interests in life right now.
After this semester ends I am not sure where my life will take me. I am considering transferring to Naropa University for their traditional Eastern Arts program where I can study yoga full time. I am also considering “WWOOFING” in Costa Rica or Hawaii (www.wwoof.org) with my boyfriend of two years (who is a vegan becoming very interested in raw foods).
I teach yoga at my college three times a week and truly love sharing my practice and knowledge with others.

Someone very close to me expressed to me that he was diagnosed bipolar a few years ago. Now that the season is transitioning into winter, I am noticing that his moods are more erratic and the things he says are very negative and worrisome at times...

My name is Alicia! I'm glad you're having such an awesome time living the raw lifestyle! That's really cool that things are unfolding so well. I starting thinking about going raw in an attempt t o boost my immune system and get some ENERGY. I live in the residence halls and work as an RA. Being in close quarters with so many people makes you really prone to getting sick plus my job is sometimes very stressful and wears me down. My roommate has a friend whose a raw foodist and she was telling me about some of the ideas behind it back in December. It's crazy to think that before that I had no idea that raw foodism even EXISTED! I started by going 100% for 20 days on January first and since then I've been eating a diet that's a high percentage of raw foods.
My friends think it's really wierd but they support me I guess, some more than others. My roommates love seeing what wierd foods I bring home and trying my crazy smoothies. I don't know what my favorite dishes really are yet. I haven't tried anything too gormet, I'm just experimenting with different combinations and some superfoods.
One way in which this site has really surprised me is in the huge span of different people are a part of it. It's really my only way to connect with other people who are exploring raw foods as I don't have contacted with people who are like-minded in this way on a daily basis. I've strugged with eating disorders in the past, namely BED (binge eating disorder) and this is the first place where I have met others struggling with the same thing and using raw foods to heal. It's always a comfort knowing others are going through the same thing you are.
I've been practicing yoga on and off since I was a sophomore in high school so I guess about 4 years now. I've taken classes here and there and I aboslutely LOVED it. Now I'm pretty content with my own personal practice though it does help to have that set time in your schedule for it since life can often get crazy busy. That's so awesome that you're teaching classes. I considered that for a while actually. I have noticed that eating raw has really helped motivate me to do more yoga. They both have so much to do with being at peace with your body. How long have you been certified for?
hello sophiaa how are you?
My brother's name is Jason. He's an economics concentration I believe.
I'm Amie- nice to meet you! My brother goes to New College! :)
