2010 I was tired, stuck, suffering from adrenal exhaustion, bloated and wanted to simply just make a change on what foods I was eating. I was curious…the primal raw food diet intrigued me, I wanted to raise my level of consciousness with an eating regime that I had only heard of. A Raw food, plant-terrain based diet regime was something I had to prove to myself that it can be done. I knew that vegan athletes are everywhere, and it was my goal to see it through; keeping hard earned muscle on, maintaining performance & endurance as a Vegan athlete. I was very compelled to prove to self, as well the research discoveries of vegan athletes, raw food athletes and their stories and now my own testimonial…

My Raw Journey started January 1, 2011 after I had an attack of some kind that took me out, dead on my kitchen floor. Nothing out of the usual for me in my eating, apart from a heavy meal of steak, salad, and a glass of wine to celebrate the New Year…however I was feeling off that entire day. Some of my gurus called this re-birth, spiritual awakening, a death of old self, truth of my greater self, I call it realization of self.
I died that night, saw it all…white light, angels, my partner and freedom. I stopped breathing it was profound for not only me, but, my life partner. The next day, slow and tired feeling bloated, lifeless I knew it was then that I needed to make a change in my foods I was eating, and my thoughts that were causing so much suffering in my mind. This experience perhaps was my gateway of letting go of attachment of the illusion, past suffering, hurtful attacks at me, anxiety to perform be understood… old beliefs and habits that made me tired full of adrenal exhaustion.

My Raw Journey started not only with food intake but addressing beliefs, emotional attachements that do no serve me, changing my attitude.
