Many of my youtube viewers are aware of the fact that I’m into living a healthy lifestyle, which includes consuming organic, raw & living foods. (A little FYI, I’ve always been a vegetarian & fairly health conscious, but I became more of a raw fooder a few years ago.) I receive a lot of emails from my viewers who are seeking my advice on the raw food lifestyle, so I thought I’d make a video to answer some of the questions.
Below are some great raw food resources. There’s much more, but these should get you started in the right direction if you’re new to the raw food lifestyle!

Raw veganism isn’t for everyone. I work with a very advanced technology called EPFX Quantum Biofeedback- One of its many, many features is detecting nutritional deficiencies, and I’ve noticed that many of the raw vegans I work with are somewhat deficient in vitamin d and b12. I have worked with raw vegans who are radiantly healthy with, what appears to be no deficiencies, but this is because they supplement with b & d vitamins and get enough sun. I’m really not trying to bash raw veganism; I simply care enough about people to speak my truth on this subject. I encourage you to become clear about your health before making drastic changes to your diet. I feel that getting blood work done before transitioning to a raw diet is a good idea, and getting blood work done after about 6 months on this diet is also a good idea so you can see where you’re at & whether or not you need to make any changes. If the idea of getting blood work makes you cringe, you can take a more non-invasive route. You can look into having an EPFX Quantum Biofeedback session which will unveil numberous insights into your health. This is actually one of the services I offer- www.leijaturunen.com. Anyway, I personally feel that raw veganism can be amazing short-term, to detoxify, gain more mental clarity, more spiritual connection, lose weight, develop that “glowy” complexion… BUT it doesn’t always work long-term- For some people it does, but not everyone, that’s for sure! Check out the work of Daniel Vitalis, Weston Price & Anthony Anderson (rawmodel) if you’re interested in raw food, but not completely sure raw VEGANISM is for you. Perhaps including some organic, raw grass fed dairy or organ meats into your diet is beneficial for you. Who knows? Everyone is completely unique and I encourage you to do your research and consume the foods that FEEL right for YOU! These 3 guys provide some pretty interesting and valuable info on this topic.

Raw Food: “Where do you get your protein?” It’s such a common question, especially for vegetarians, vegans and raw foodists. In spite of the fact that some of the world’s largest and strongest animals are vegetarian; like gorillas, elephants, buffalo and horses, many people still wonder how it’s possible to thrive on fruits and vegetables.
