How Fake Carnivore Testimonials Are Trickling into Vegan Spaces
If you’ve spent any time on vegan or plant-based social media lately, you’ve probably noticed the same suspicious pattern: someone shows up out of nowhere claiming they were “vegan for years,” developed “devastating health problems,” switched to the carnivore diet… and now they’re “reborn.” It’s always dramatic.Always emotional.And always strangely convenient. Well, here’s the uncomfortable […]
The Death of a Raw Vegan Influencer
I’m sure many of you have come across news reports about the passing of a raw vegan influencer—for reasons that we still don’t fully understand. Firstly, although I never met Russian personality Zhanna D’Art (real name Zhanna Samsonova), I would like to acknowledge her passing and send my sincere condolences to her family, friends, and […]
Herpes and Raw Foods
Anyone who has suffered from herpes knows how severe this disease can be. Recurrent outbreaks cause painful, itchy, and unsightly blisters and sores, which can occur frequently and last for days or weeks, leading to mental and emotional exhaustion. Physical discomfort such as pain, itching, and burning sensations can disrupt your daily activities, sleep, and […]
The Myth of the Mediterranean Diet
If there is one diet myth I am beyond tired of hearing about, it’s the so-called health benefits of a Mediterranean diet. It might sound a bit outrageous at first, but please hear me out on this.

Plant-Based vs. Animal-Based Diets
I received a good question from a reader after she saw one of my articles where I discussed my 10 years of nutrition research and findings.

7 Years to Becoming a Nutrition Pro
I often hear people saying: “Yes, I was vegan for a month, and it didn’t work.” Or, “Oh, yes, I was vegan for a while.” And you know what my response to those people is? WHY SHOULD WE GIVE A DAMN? It’s the same as someone saying, “I wore Prada shoes yesterday.” SO WHAT? To […]

How to Beat Those Cheese Cravings
Cheese addiction is very real and happens to almost everyone who tries to give it up. Switching from being a vegetarian to vegan can be a real challenge. Some meals just don’t feel right without cheese – whether it’s mozzarella on pizza or the cheddar in sandwiches and pies. And if you’re from a cheese-loving […]
My Mother’s High Raw Transformation
I’ll never forget the day my brother told me my mother had only 2 years to live. The year was 2002, and my mother had just been diagnosed with Leukaemia after going through a bone marrow biopsy. This news came only months after my father passed away; in fact, we believe it was this event […]
The Truth about Nutrition
The other day I was reading a book with an introduction in which the author refers to the old saying, “Never talk about politics or religion.” He goes on to say that it should really be something like, “Never talk about politics, religion, or food,” since most people seem to have equally strong feelings and […]
