If you are like me, you love reading – and you are also very interested in healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and keeping current and on the leading-edge on these subjects.

I still have my first nutrition-related book – from over 30 years ago – “The Miracle of Fasting” with Dr. Paul Bragg   It is a signed, autographed copy!  (since I worked for him and studied under him in the 1970s) 

I’m excited to tell you about an awesome new service available at Health Book Summaries

Two of my favorite health educators – Kevin Gianni and Mike Adams – have teamed up to provide this service.

This is a ground-breaking service where you can register and receive 2 to 3 free summaries monthly of the newest and best health information books.  The Health Book Summaries Service  takes all the important topics from books written by well-known health authors and breaks them down into a digestible 10 to 12 page summary.

This is the ultimate time-saver for you if you are interested in improving your health or if you are a health practitioner, personal trainer, or in the medical field.

All you have to do is visit the site, register (it’s completely free) and you’ll be taken to the summary archive where there are already 3 summaries that you can download immediately!

You’ll be glad you did!

I’m pleased to continue my talk this week with Kevin Gianni of Renegade Health as we further discuss the benefits of eating a raw food diet and how it can help you to lose weight.

Kevin explains how a raw food diet improves your awareness about what you eat so you make much healthier choices. He also tells us about his friend who has lost 200 pounds (yes! his starting weight was 400 pounds!) in two years by changing his eating habits and following a raw food diet.

Kevin also answers listeners’ email questions, such as “What do you eat for breakfast on a raw food diet?”, “Can you still have the benefits of a raw food diet if you don’t follow it 100% ?” and “Is there any special equipment I need to follow a raw food diet?”

You don’t want to miss this show!

I’m very pleased to be joined again by Kevin Gianni of  Renegade Health and he discusses these differences in Part 2 of our interview together. Very simply, each of these lifestyles puts you more in touch with nature, or gives you a heightened awareness of the world around you.

No matter which of these philosophies you subscribe to, all three will improve your overall health, increase your energy, and make you more aware of the toxins in our everyday world.

My guest this week is Kevin Gianni of Renegade Health  and he is a firm believer in taking those baby steps so the changes you make will last you a lifetime. In Part 1 of my interview, Kevin explains how he became an advocate of the raw food diet, the experts who have influenced and taught him about health, and how he has been able to change his eating and health over an 8 year period.

Kevin Gianni went from a “Beer Slugging Loser” (his words!) to a Fitness Expert, teaching Holistic, Healthy Living.  Kevin explains what raw food is, how your body adjusts to dietary changes, and how you can still be successful eating raw foods even if you don’t follow all the rules 100%. Trying to live up to any label – in this case, eating 100% raw foods – will lead you to feeling guilty and shameful if you vary the plan.

The key to making any dietary changes is to adjust these changes so they fit into your life. This is not a short term plan – this is a lifestyle change.
