Revvell interviews RawDawg Rory

Revvell — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:47:40 +0000

Hey everyone! My name is Rory and I’m a former CT native, born and grew up in West Haven. I moved to PA to do an organic farming internship at the Fulton Center for Sustainable Living where I not only learned a lot of the hands on experience of farming but I also met the girl of my dreams! Not a bad deal eh? I got into raw foods about two years ago and after learning a lot I’ve eased comfortably into the 100% raw lifestyle and I’m loving it! I was certified in raw and living foods prep by Jody Allen (an amazing raw food chef and teacher with over ten years experience, check out her work and beautiful recipes not to mention classes at Loving Life Cafe) and it was such a great experience!

When I’m not busy being a food geek … I like to read (especially DIY stuff and about spirituality), LOVE music! Anything from Dave Mathews to DJ Shadow, They Might Be Giants, Angels and Airwaves, Motion City Soundtrack, Danger Doom, Unkle, Death Cab for Cutie and waaaaaay to many more to type out! I enjoy movies of all sorts from cheezy horror flicks to documentaries, and even romantic comedies (thanks for dragging me kickin’ and screaming into this wonderful genre, Amanda!). I enjoy stand up comedy especially Eddie Izzard and George Carlin (miss ya man, thanks for all the laughter and busted guts). I love going for walks, hikes and hittin’ the Wii Fit! I try to find time for my other passion; building and creating stuff (hopefully a lovely lil’ strawbale house someday!). I haven’t lost my passion for organic farming, although I’ve steered my life in a different direction now. I still look forward to the day when I can create a small homestead Permaculture food system for me and my family! Most of all I love doing all these things and more with my lovely wife and daughter! My wifes’ handy work can be seen in the design of my page (and painstakingly corrected grammar!) and the filming and editing of my raw-food recipe videos. Thanks for all your hard work and for bringing out all sorts of stuff in me that’ll never make it to the final video edits! *laughing* I’d also like to say Hi to our wonderful daughter Isabel! Rock on and when are you coming out with your next raw-food video?? Much love to everyone checking out my work and passions and all my friends and family everywhere!

Revvell Interviews Raw Food Chef, Elaina Love

Revvell — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 14:41:13 +0000

This interview took a surprising turn for me when I found out a few minutes before that Elaina’s son had been diagnosed with Leukemia. We spoke quite a bit about that and how she dealt with it and that her ex-husband is not raw and the choices made and still being made. Fascinating and open interview.

Revvell Interviews Raw Mom and Author, Kate “Magic” Wood

Revvell — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:00:32 +0000

Since she is a mom, I asked some of the following questions:
How did you get started with Raw?
Were you raw when you had your children?
How were the births?
You say “predominantly” Raw ~ what does that mean?
Let’s talk about cacao ~
Why do some people have issues with cacao?
I know you sell superfoods yet, What do you think of the divisiveness between those who tend to eat simply ~ just raw and those who are promoting super foods almost to the exclusivity of fresh picked?
How do you feel about the trend many formerly raw vegans are pursuing with eating raw animal products?

Kate is one of the leading raw food promoters in the UK She has sixteen years experience in raw eating and is raising a family of three boys on a predominantly raw diet. She is former editor of Get Fresh! the world’s most popular raw food magazine, and author of the bestseller Eat Smart Eat Raw.

Revvell Chats w/One Lucky Duck Owner and Author, Sarma

Revvell — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:00:37 +0000

In this interview we talk about Sarma’s beginnings, how she got interested in raw; her background and education in the culinary arts. I asked Sarma what she would tell someone who wanted to open their own restaurant and if she’s planning on opening more. We chatted about her “One Lucky Duck” website and the currently high cost of organics.

I also asked about the use of maple syrup, wine and sake in some of their recipes and what alternatives might be for non-drinkers. (Of course, there are so many choices of things to drink, drink something else). This just reminded me how people get stuck on things like wanting to eat raw potatoes. There are so many other options, why get stuck on one thing?

So, enjoy the interview, purchase the book and support Rawkin Radio please.

Revvell Revati talks with raw food crusader, Matt Monarch

Revvell — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 11:00:00 +0000

This is another interview that was done before Rawkin Radio came into being, just under two years ago. My first interview with Matt Monarch.

Why would a young, single bachelor change to a raw food lifestyle? After five years of eating a 100% raw food diet, Matt was inspired to write a book called Raw Spirit. He wanted to share information that he thought needed to be out there, reflecting in particular on some of the physical challenges of going raw, along with the amazing shifts he experienced on the spiritual level with this lifestyle. Raw Spirit has become one of the best-selling raw books available: people appreciate Matt’s honest approach and his willingness to discuss aspects of being raw that often go unmentioned.

Revvell Chats with Raw Food Chef and Author, Frank Giglio

Revvell — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:33:42 +0000

In this interview we speak with Frank about his training, experience, how long he’s been “cheffing”; why and how he went from the usual culinary path to vegetarian and raw. We chatted about his running experience, cross-training, diet and more. Also, his new book is out, “Raw for All” which you can purchase on his website.

Revvell interviews Raw Food Chef Matthew Kenney

Revvell — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:00:25 +0000

An interesting interview with Matthew Kenney who is a magnificent chef. He’s traditionally trained so I asked how he got from being a traditional chef to becoming a raw chef. I had to ask how chef’s figure out what ingredients go together, what’s the best temperature to dehydrate foods; what’s the difference between coconuts and the ways to use them; what projects he’s got going on and we talked about his books.
Matthew is the author of raw food books, Raw Food, Real World; Everyday Raw and the soon-to-be released Entertaining in the raw as well as the upcoming Everyday Raw Desserts.

Revvell interviews raw food expert, David Wolfe

Revvell — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 11:00:00 +0000

This is another interview transferred over from before Rawkin Radio came into being which is why it sounds different. Originally posted 9/09/07. Good info still.

After many weeks of phone calls and emails, David Wolfe and Revvell get together for a fun-filled, enlightening and illuminating conversation. In this program Revvell asks David numerous questions where they cover everything from staying warm in cold weather, herbs, allergies, low fat, low money, airplane travel, transitioning, the Master Cleanse and soooo much more. They also get into the mental/emotional understanding of allergies and, of course, the importance of "super foods" to the raw and living food program.

Revvell Chats with Dr. Doug Graham again

Revvell — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:00:40 +0000

I asked Dr. Graham to join me here again because there was a recent issue about cacao and the 80/10/10 diet was brought into the discussion. Besides responding to the statements made we also spoke about eating raw (specifically the 80/10/10) in colder areas, anti-nutrients, eating the same thing daily, does cacao REALLY “cure cavities’?, water, children and raw and their teeth, nutrition and lifestyle; emotional eating and more.

This is a special hour-long edition.

Please join Dr. Graham and I on my newest program, Let’s Talk Raw where you, as the listener, can ask YOUR questions about health, the 80/10/10 diet and more.

Enjoy and Injoy,

Revvell

Storm Talifero is a 30 year plus raw foodist. His pictures tell his story. His life unfolds during this interview from having a heart attack at the age of 18 to evolving into the raw food vegan he is today. He speaks about assisting his wife Jinjee in home-birthing their four children and what his role is in raising them. Storm has been eating a raw-vegan diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds in their natural unheated state for over 30 years and has become known amongst raw-vegans for his body builder’s physique. At 57 he appears decades younger.

Revvell Interviews Another Long-Time Raw Food Advocate, Jimi Igo

Revvell — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:36:33 +0000

James learned about Natural Hygiene in his youth and became an ardent follower of Dr. Herbert M. Shelton, who defined and developed the science, laying down guidelines for food combining and fasting with an emphasis on raw, whole foods. James had his share of health challenges during childhood, including being born crippled and undergoing successful but invasive surgeries. He also had asthma and suffered a collapsed lung. He has been exploring the relationship between diet and health ever since he responded favorably to the whole foods vegan diet his doctor suggested for him when he was about 10 years old.

James was fortunate to be raised in the indigenous California lifestyle by his grandparents on the San Pasqual Indian reservation. They spoke the native Kumeyaay tongue & ate the traditional acorn mush, seeds, vegetables and fruit in season, and resisted the sugar, refined wheat and meat introduced by the invading cultures. Some of his other relatives, cousins, including an aunt, worked at Dr. Bernard Jensen’s health retreat in Escondido. Although Jensen was of interest to James he choose to follow a more complete natural hygiene program of Gerald Benesh, Herbert M. Shelton, et al. James prefers to call his understanding of natural hygiene, native hygiene instead, out of respect for the past.

James is licensed in conventional healthcare with a background in post grad music therapy @ Cal State Universities including Stanford University where he obtained a research grant and has worked as a medical technician for several decades. He reared four children, two home births he helped deliver & raised his children along the reservation on virgin terrain without municipal water or electricity as hygienically as possible.

This interview was done live, in the sunroom before a raw food potluck to which Jimi brough sapotes to everyone’s delight.

Enjoy!

Revvell Interviews Sunfired Food Advocate Dr. Aris Latham

Revvell — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:08:06 +0000

I heard Dr. Latham speak at Agape a few weeks before doing this interview. He’s been around for quite some time yet, not many who are new to the raw/living food world know who he is. He’s been eating this way for almost 30 years. At the presentation his assistant made the most delicious “savory pie”. It was incredible to have greens in the pie. The combination was amazing.

One of the things I had to ask Dr. Latham was, “Since you have someone who makes your food, do you eat this way every day?” You’ll find the answer in this interview.

Revvell Interviews Her Long-Time Teacher, Rocannon MacGregor

Revvell — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:55:31 +0000

As I say in my introduction, if it weren’t for this man, I’d not be doing what I’m doing today. There was a fair chance, I’d not even be alive today. I set up this interview to introduce you to someone who’s not very well-known yet should be. I was lucky to find him in 1986 at a health convention I’d been attending for about 9 years. He’d been there every time yet, as they say, "… when the student is ready…"

I wasn’t sure I was ready. There were times when I had to be pulled kicking and screaming into life yet, he persisted in seeing more in me than I saw in myself. He persisted in supporting me when others wouldn’t and I couldn’t. He gave me the foundation to find out who I was and to be me.

This is the first interview I’ll do with my teacher of 23 years, Rocannon MacGregor.

Enjoy! Revvell

Revvell Interviews Victoria Boutenko at the Raw Spirit Festival

Revvell — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:28:49 +0000

I always enjoy chatting with Victoria Boutenko. This time I managed to catch her in her booth at Raw Spirit Festival without a crowd around her. We spoke about her latest research and what she’s doing now. Changes she’s making; thoughts, ideas and experiences she’s confirmed, tweaked or softened. At one point, I had to ask the question that she said people talk more about than all the research she has done. Listen in to find out what that question is, and the answer to it.

Revvell interviews athletic dancer, model, actress, Tonya Kay

Revvell — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:24:31 +0000

"Kill your television and make something, think something, BE something instead!"

After reading the words above, I KNEW I was going to like Tonya Kay. Her profile says: 25 year vegetarian, 15 year vegan, and 6 years raw… which makes her 46… or so I asked during our interview. She’s got an amazing sense of humor, an infectious laugh and a great love for life. In this interview we talk about how she chose life over depression, birth control, how she cares for elephants and many other things including her latest leading role.

Enjoy!

Revvell Interviews Dr. Doug Graham

Revvell — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:23:02 +0000

Before hearing Dr. Graham speak at the Raw Spirit Festival, I’d heard many things about his 80/10/10 diet. It sounded to me like something that would be REALLY difficult to maintain, too low in fats, etc. After hearing him speak all I could say was "He really makes sense". I immediately went and purchased two books ~ "The 80/10/10 Diet, Balancing Your Health, Your Weight, and Your Life, One Luscious Bite at a Time" and "The New High Energy Diet Recipe Guide ". Dr. Graham makes being raw and being healthy soooo easy. You don’t really have to think about it.

This was so good, we went longer than our usual half hour and covered, bloating, supplements, individual differences, cleansing, FAT!, fasting, organic vs. conventional produce, fear of fruit, sprouting and SO much more.

You might also want to check out my blog where I mention something he wrote about germs causing disease. Fascinating!

Please, listen to the interview and then, purchase the book(s) here!

Revvell Interviews Ruth Heidrich

Revvell — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:00:00 +0000

"When I was 47 and working on my PhD, I was diagnosed with breast cancer," said Heidrich in a recent interview with the Maui Weekly. Heidrich underwent surgery to have the malignant lump removed. Unfortunately, further testing showed that the cancer had already spread. "The doctors found hotspots in her bones and also a lesion in her lung. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. The decision to go vegan changed Heidrich’s life. She has authored the book and video, "A Race For Life’ and also wrote "The Race For Life Cookbook", a guide to cooking delicious and healthy food for optimum health and nutrition. Revvell interviews this amazing woman.

Revvell Interviews Producers of “Food Matters”

Revvell — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:48:26 +0000

Food matters is a hard hitting, fast paced look at our current state of health. Despite billions of dollars of funding and research into new, so-called cures, we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Patching up an over-toxic and over-indulgent population with a host of toxic therapies and nutrient-sparse foods is definitely not helping the situation.

On "Food Matters", you’ll get to join the world’s leading authorities on nutrition and natural healing as they uncover the true cause of disease, find out what works, what doesn’t, and what’s killing you.

This film gives you and your family options and choices and could save your life and/or the lives of those you love.

FoodMatters sets about the uncovering the trillion dollar worldwide "sickness industry", and exposes a growing body of scientifice evidence proving that nutritional therapy can be more effective, more economical, less harmful andless invasive than most conventional medical treatments.

This is an enlightening conversation. Please listen in.

Revvell interviews Shazzie!

Revvell — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:38:20 +0000

This interview went everywhere but where I expected it to. We talked about breastfeeding, outgassing from furniture, nutrients during pregnancy and for children, transitioning and more.

Shazzie was born in Yorkshire, England on 23rd of January 1969. At the age of 16 she became a vegetarian and was an ethical vegan 2 years later. At the age of 30, Shazzie became a raw foodist for health reasons. For almost four years she ate an exclusively raw vegan diet, then, during pregnancy, she ate some cooked food due to cravings and sickness. Now, she’s about 95% raw, and is happy there. Becoming a raw foodist was an intrinsic part of her journey towards mental, spiritual and physical freedom.

In 2004, Shazzie gave birth to her beautiful daughter Evie. She’s also a raw foodist, and is breastfed, unvaccinated, co-sleeps and is as natural as someone can be in the UK! She’s happy, intelligent and very healthy. Shazzie and Evie live together in Cambridge, UK.

Brendan was introduced to me by Mark Perlmutter of Raw Summit fame, who I’d interviewed on this program awhile back. I gave him a call and he took time from his busy schedule to have a chat here.

Of course we talked about his diet before raw and how and when he chose to become raw. We talked about how other athletes view him, staying raw while traveling, how he keeps weight on, how important is water; is he into "super foods", caffeine and colonics.

We spoke about his book, The Thrive Diet which is a good transition book for people who wish to go raw as it’s plant-based with raw options. I’ll be doing a review on his book which I received w/in hours of our interview here: Weekly Revvellations.

Revvell then asks Philip questions many people who are beginning want to know such as ~ did you go 100% immediately or transition? Did you consume nuts? Count calories? Exercise?

We also spoke about the after effects of eliminating so much weigh/fat in such a relatively short time such as loose skin. How does Philip travel and stay raw?

These and many other questions were answered in this enlightening interview with someone who did it and went all the way.

My in-studio guest this week is Matt Monarch. Matt’s been doing a 6-month speaking tour and was back in the States so I thought I’d nab him while he was here locally.

We chatted about his journey, how heat affects him; how he stays raw while traveling. One question I asked was, how can it be that people who are getting more nutrients than ever in their lives with raw are experiencing hair loss, teeth issues, joint pain, etc.?

We also spoke about gas and bloating. I think his answer here may surprise you.

Of course, we HAD to talk about colonics and his response when people say they aren’t natural. We discussed acidity and alkalinity, and, who the heck has time for all this juicing, smoothies, food prep, movement, etc.?

As you can tell, we’ve got a very full half-hour. Oh! In my first interview with Matt, a year ago, we spoke about his parents. In our chat today, we get an update on them as well.

Revvell interviews Mark Perlmutter

Revvell — Fri, 30 May 2008 18:37:54 +0000

I think it would be appropriate to call Mark Perlmutter the Chief Visionary Officer of raw videos and summits. I spoke with him before this interview and no one can do in one lifetime all he has planned ~ unless they live long and live healthy which is what he is assisting so many others to do through his work.

Mark is the creator of the Raw Summit, "Raw for Life ~ The Ultimate Encyclopedia of the Raw Food Lifestyle" and the current work in progress, "Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days".

In our interview we discuss how Mark got to doing what he does; how he chose the participants for "Raw for Life" which covers a wide range of 30 experts; why, in his next dvd he chose to focus on diabetes and staying raw during travel. He also tells about what’s coming up in future Raw Summits.

Revvell Interviews Ronnie and Minh from UbRaw

Revvell — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:56:12 +0000

Ronnie and Minh are raw foodist husband and wife. Minh is a second generation raw & living food chef, she was born in Viet Nam in 1950 into a humble and loving Buddhist family, she is the youngest of eight children. At a very young age Minh began learning which plants were edible and which were not, how to find food and medicines in the jungle and how to use them. She spent her youth helping her mother grow, gather and prepare food for their family. They used simple and ancient techniques without electricity to prepare nourishing and great tasting food. In this way the art of preparing raw food was passed from generation to generation without even knowing what “raw food” was, to them it was just food. In 1963 one of Minhs’ brothers was kidnapped by the North Vietnamese Army, her mother was devastated and sought guidance through prayer and from Buddhist Monks. Minhs mother was already a vegetarian but she received a revelation that if she gave up cooking and ate only uncooked vegetarian food her son would return to her, she did so and a year and a half later her son retuned to her unharmed. Minhs mother continued to eat only raw food until she died in 2005 at the age of 93.

Before and after….As Alissa has chosen to leave Rawkin’ Radio to pursue her dreams, I’m exploring ways to keep Rawkin’ Radio going. In this episode, I get the opportunity to interview Brenda Cobb, founder and director of The Living Foods Institute in Atlanta, Georgia. Brenda was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer and chose to go a different route than normally suggested by those practicing allopathic methods. In this interview we find out why and what the results are. We also talk about menstruation/menopause, water, supplements, detoxification and her 10-day program. We had such a good time, I’ve invited Brenda back in November for another go-round. BTW, please check out her site: www.livingfoodsinstitute.com and/or contact Brenda about scholarship possibilities if looking to attend her 10-day program. Please tell her you heard it here.

Revvell Revati Interviews Victoria Boutenko

Revvell — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 13:50:00 +0000

This was originally posted on Celebrating Your Potential when I started that program. It got rather confusing going from raw to self-help interviews and when Alissa left Rawkin’ Radio, I decided to keep it going and make it just for raw and CYP became just for personal growth. I’ve now decided to move all my interviews from CYP with Raw Foods over to this one rather than pay for another URL I’m only using to hold a few shows. So, if you’ve not heard them before.. and even if you have… enjoy!

Victoria says: We are the Boutenko family, also known as the Raw Family. The four of us embarked on a diet of entirely raw foods in 1994, when we became seriously ill. Victoria had arrhythmia and edema and was obese and depressed. Igor suffered from painful rheumatoid arthritis and had severe hyperthyroid. Sergei was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and was supposed to go on insulin. Valya had asthma.After we went on a raw diet, we healed all of our health problems. You may read our complete story in our book Raw Family. Having been on raw foods for so many years, we have acquired invaluable experience in living on a raw food diet. In our lectures, books and videos we share our knowledge. In this enlightening interview, raw food researcher and author, Victoria Boutenko relates how she has changed her views on going 100% raw immediately and the best ways to go about it while our bodies are transforming and moving into this new lifestyle. She also talks about her new book; new research and how her children are doing. You will LOVE this interview.
