Healing the world with food. One woman at a time.
I first launched this Eighty Percent Raw website in 2009. I had a vision to build an online community where raw food chefs and healthcare professionals would contribute content twice monthly in a magazine-style format, providing an educational destination for people looking to improve their health. I recruited more than 25 such contributors, and the magazine thrived.
I ran that online publication for more than four years. You can READ MY BACK STORY and the inspiration behind why I wanted to create the site in the first place. But suffice it to say, after watching my loved ones’ health decline, I was passionate about finding a way to heal/reverse/prevent these kinds of lifestyle-related diseases in not only others but myself.
I was so committed that I became a student with IIN – the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a certified health coach.
Since that time, I have gone through menopause and all the hormonal challenges that come along with that change in a woman’s body. The symptoms I experienced as a result made me re-evaluate my decision to eliminate all animal products from my diet. I decided to reintroduce meat, eggs, and dairy to see if I felt better as a result. Several times I adopted a Keto, then even a Carnivore diet approach.
What did I learn? I found out that my body does much better when the bulk of my calories comes from whole, non-starchy plant foods.
I still include a little meat in my diet. But the bulk of my food is still plant-based.
My passion now is to help other women who have had similar life experiences figure their bodies out so that they can live their best lives!
At nearly 63 years young, I am not now, nor have I ever been on any kind of pharmaceutical or over-the-counter drugs. While I don’t possess a competitive bodybuilder’s physique, I can say that I am healthy and fit enough to be completely functional and not in need of any medical assistance. I can play with my grandkids, go on long walks, and do all the things I’ve always done without experiencing shortness of breath, exhaustion, or any other discomfort.
I have the knowledge, understanding, and experience to guide you on your path to living pharmaceutical drug-free while helping you eliminate pain in your body, help you lose unwanted pounds, and regain the energy, mental clarity, and vitality of your younger years.
Thank you for joining me!

This past weekend was a double-whammy for me. Saturday was our 27-Year Anniversary, followed by Easter the next day. I went a little off-plan. So, today, I decided to get back on the bandwagon and return to the plan that I know works best for me: Eighty Percent Raw
