She trained to become a certified master raw food chef and raw food instructor. After achieving a 60 lb. weight loss herself, going from 185 lbs. and size 12/14 to 125 lbs. and a petite size 4, Carolyn specializes in helping people with weight loss through Carolyn’s Weight Loss System™, Losing Weight the Natural Way and Keeping it Off!
This week Rhio and Leigh interview Michael Saripkin, the Raw Gourmand. After a chance remark from his doctor comparing him to a cow, Michael decided he was going to eat like a cow and in the process discovered that he wasn’t the only one out there eating Nature’s raw food. While losing 103 lbs. (with another 50 to go) Michael also brought his blood pressure, blood sugar and other health markers to normal. He reversed his sleep apnea, type II Diabetes, sore legs and back, fatigue, chronic colds and got off all medications. Michael decided to become a raw critic, reviewing all things raw and healthy, like raw food books, dvds, foods, restaurants, and more. www.rawcritic.info

Interview with Gail Murphy, founder of The Coop and Food Exchange of Altadena, California. Gail promotes the concept that there is abundant organic food (fruits, vegetables, nuts) available in our backyard communities that we can share, trade, sell and also exchange for other food that we want. Gail has initiated a wonderful permaculture paradigm in her community, that can adopted in other parts of the country by people who want to become less dependent on the supermarkets for their food and explore the possibilities available to them in their own communities for sustainability and self-sufficiency. When food prices skyrocket even more than they already have, we will be happy that we have adopted this model… or at least been introduced to it.
