 Rocannon MacGregor and Revvell Revati

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

 


 

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.

Enjoy!

"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!

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!


 Ruth Heidrich

“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.

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.

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.
