It’s hard to believe, but it’s been already 10 years since I started on the natural health/raw food path!
In all honesty, I was not thinking about me or my health when I decided to go in this direction.
It was never my goal to try to live forever.
By the time I was 37 years of age, […]
Since becoming immersed in the world of health and nutrition, the issue of nutrition ‘facts’ and so called ‘evidence based’ diets has puzzled me.
These days, too many people swear by whatever nutritional data they find and they feel totally obsessed by those details.
From the supposed healing power of “super foods” to apple vinegar “secrets”, health […]
I am often asked “how do you maintain a raw vegan diet while travelling?”
Since I started my raw food diet in 2008, I have travelled all over the world, so I thought I’d share with you some of my experiences on these trips and other things I learned along the way.
For this article, we are […]
You don’t have to look hard around social media these days to find comments such as:
“Can’t stick to the raw vegan diet!”

There is nothing more frustrating than slicing into an avocado you just bought, only to find it’s rotten inside.
Damn it! It happened to me all too often in the past, and I am sure it does to many others too.
That is, until I learned a little trick that solved this issue.
How to tell when avocado […]
In the age of industrialized foods and widespread diseases caused by poor nutrition, paying attention to your fat intake is of great importance; LIFE SAVING in many cases, I’d say.
A common trap for people eating a raw food diet is in not understanding the quantities of fruits and vegetables one needs to consume in order […]
Since I started my journey into raw foods I have noticed something quite unique… I thought everyone eating the same low fat, raw food diet will follow a similar standard of meals, but that turned out not to be the case. People have very different approaches on how they eat.
On one hand, I see people […]
When examining the daily life of a drug addict, it’s safe to say there is a common thread; they are always on the lookout for their next “fix”. Their lives run from stimulation to stimulation, whether through smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, or harder drugs.
When studying the behaviour of people eating the standard American Diet, the […]
The summer of 2007 was one I will never forget. I flew from London to Ibiza every Saturday night to DJ at a big club, Space, while trying to quit smoking.
I remember being at Gatwick Airport in London waiting for my flight and thinking of having my “last” cigarette, only to arrive in Ibiza a […]
A few weeks ago I’ve got a call from a friend that I haven’t spoken to in a while. He said to me, did you hear about Paul?
Paul is a good friend of ours, whom I have known for over 20 years; he has also been a vegan for almost that long.

You hear a lot about vegan and plant based diets these days.
Hollywood celebrities often actively sell vegan products or promote them to huge crowds. But, vegan diets have been around for a long time.
