Revvell Interviews Herbalist and Author, Brigitte Mars
Brigitte has been working with natural medicine for more than 30 hyears. She teaches herbal medicine through Esalen, the Boulder College of Massage Therapy and Naropa Institute. She is the author of several books, including "Rawsome", "Sex, Love and Health" and "Herbs for Healthy Skin & Nails".
I asked Brigitte to be on the show because I saw that she was well-versed in foraging, wild plants and herbs ~ something many are taking an interest in to assist in their food budgets. Some of what we talk about are peoples’ fear of plants, dandelions, spraying our plants, nettle juice, purslane and more.
We also talked about her book "Rawsome" which I reviewed earlier in my blog.
Listen in… I’m sure you’ll learn something from this enchanting conversation.

Revvell Interviews Producers of “Food Matters”
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!

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.

Revvell Interviews Triathlete Brendan Brazier
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.
Enjoy!

Revvell interviews Philip McCluskey
In this in-studio interview, Revvell and Philip discuss how Philip eliminated 200 pounds in two years, on the living foods program. 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.
Enjoy!
Revvell interviews Matt Monarch
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.
Enjoy!

Revvell interviews Karen Knowler
What a lovely woman Karen is. She’s got a beautiful, musical laugh and you just want to hear more from her.
We chatted about her background and what she ate growing up (her father was a butcher!!!); how it is to travel as a raw food advocate; does she home-school her child and how she deals with food with him; mental/emotional detox; transitioning or not and her business as a raw coach. I know you’ll enjoy this interview.
Revvell interviews Rod Rotondi
In this episode of Rawkin Radio my guest is Rod Rotondi, founder of Leaf Cuisine located in Culver City and Sherman Oaks, Ca.
We chatted about Rod’s upbringing and how he got to eating raw, how his parents feel about it and opening two restaurants and how his food is now into numerous health food stores. We spoke about what is different about his restaurants and catering. Check out: Leaf Cuisine to find out even more!
Revvell interviews Mark Perlmutter

![]()
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.

Another fun interview with co-writers and co-producers, Jennifer Mattox and Doug Clemons from the film "All Jacked Up" about teens and the effects of junk food.
During the film, while following four teens through part of their lives, their "curious interviewer," Bobby Rice, finds out more than expected… which leads us deeper into the understanding of these teens. Bobby interviews various people including Gabriel Cousens, Mike Adams, experts and chat with a teen vegetarian, vegan and, Sergei Boutenko, a raw foodist.
Jennifer Mattox is a 15-year veteran of journalism and communication arts. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism from the University of Florida in 1989. She possesses a great depth of experience in numerous corporate environments, in creative production, marketing, and publicity, holding both management and executive roles.
Jennifer founded Faerie Films in 2004 as a vehicle to voice her social concerns and empower audiences in support of these causes.
Doug Clemons joined Faerie Films in 2005 to contribute to the company’s market strategy, funding, and distribution opportunities.
