In a continuation of our first interview, Revvell and Tim continue chatting about what it means to be raw and an athlete.


Tim van OrdenThis turned out to be an AMAZING interview. Athlete Tim Van Orden tells us how he went from a meat eating diet and a dislike of vegetables to becoming a top marathon and tower racing athlete. As usual we get into the question of protein, water, transitioning to raw and SO much more!!! Part II will be coming up next week!

Another delightful interview, this time with the daughter of my last interviewee, Brigitte Mars. Rainbeau Mars introduced her mother to living foods. In this interview we talk about her world tour, her partnership with Adidas, raising a daughter on living foods and way more. She’ll be onstage at The Raw Spirit Festival ’08.

Rainbeau is the star of 7 best-selling yoga videos and the global ambassador for yoga. Please check out her website ~ Rainbeau Mars.

Thank you for listening.

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.

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.

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 BrazierBrendan 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.

Enjoy!

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!

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!

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.
