It’s not about where you live, how much money you make, or whether you train with a celebrity coach. It’s what you put on your fork. Because once you start feeding your body what it’s biologically built for, it stops adapting to dysfunction and starts repairing instead.

These days I carry a notebook with me because I write down comments, reactions, things people say when raw food starts to click. One time I was sitting with a friend, when she said something I had to write down:

“Wow, you don’t realize how much energy you're wasting just digesting the wrong stuff.”

Imagine dragging yourself out of bed tired, walking through your day foggy, needing caffeine just to pretend you feel okay. Most people live like that and it always feels like that’s just how life is… until you drop processed food for good, like she did.

Then one day you’re halfway through a long hike with no aches, no slump, just a steady pulse of energy and you finally realize you flipped the right switch.

That’s why eating this way feels grounding, like my friend could feel the change right away. And it was all because of raw.

I get it! Most people have no idea, do they? They keep bingeing on Netflix documentaries, hopping from keto to carnivore, trying every overpriced superfood powder and supplement and yet still struggle to feel alive. That’s the tragedy. They’re looking for power in all the wrong places. Meanwhile, the real power? It’s in a seasonal fruit or two. A head of romaine. A handful of soaked walnuts. A handful of broccoli sprouts. A bowl of lentil soup. A big salad piled high with kale, onions, and mushrooms. Anyhoo.

Want to know what it's like to feel better than normal?

A lot of fresh fruits and vegetables are your cells’ secret code.
