After witnessing "the impossible" at a holistic cancer clinic in Mesa, Arizona while visiting my snowbirding parents early last spring,(see scenic video and photo here) my eyes were opened to the amazing healing power of a raw, living food diet.

No, since then I haven’t been forcing raw veganism on my clients and students BUT it did inspire me to organize the Louisville Area Raw Food Meetup Group this past March.  And now we’re growing every week and currently have 58 raw food advocate members and our potlucks, food demos, and educational meetup have been a BLAST!  (to join our meetup group, CLICK HERE)

Since I’m the area meetup organizer, Matt contacted me last month and said he and Angela are traveling through the Louisville area in October so we’ve set them up for an afternoon of eduction, motivation, and inspiration to help you learn how to incorporate more vibrant, energizing food into your life.

To get the details, registration info, and links to Matt and Angela’s websites and their online Raw Food World store CLICK HERE

Also, make sure you visit the RAW FOOD page here at the website for a FREE sprouting guide and more resources for the raw food lifestyle.

Keep learning, keep taking action, and KEEP MAKING THE REVOLUTION!

Just wanted to share this spectacular view with you from the top of the Peralta trail in the Superstition Mountains just east of Mesa, AZ.

Had a short but fantastic trip to visit my snowbirding parents in Scottsdale.  What amazing energy that climate has!  It was about 10-15 degrees cooler than it usually is but I wasn’t complaining about a solid 65.

Also got to see the area I always talk about when I do my seminars on insulin resistance, sugar handling and diabetes.  The Gila River Valley, home of the Pima Indians who did just fine and dandy when they were active and growing crops with extensive irrigation systems but after white man come and they got ousted from their natural environment they are all overweight and dyinng of heart disease and diabetes in their 50′s.

The “thrifty genotype” like the Pima’s is good at storing energy for famine.  But when food is available everywhere and can even be delivered to your door the population suffers.

So the question is…do the Pima’s suffer from poor genetics?…or a poor environment?  Seems to me that it’s a good solid answer to the age old “nature vs. nurture” issue.

Another question.  Is it possible to change your environment and therefore change your health status?

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment on this post!
