Should you go Raw Vegan? Looking beyond just diet, Kristina takes you through the mental, physical and spiritual manifestations of the FullyRaw phenomena. As she walks us through her journey from her diabetes diagnosis to her transition to FullyRaw, to her co-op at university, and to her youtube channel, Kristina reflects upon her appreciation for the light the FullyRaw lifestyle brought her. In explaining her mission, she describes the ease in getting sufficient nutrients eating raw and debunks common pushbacks on the FullyRaw diet. Then, she discusses changes in poo and the difference between bloat and fullness. Finally, she emphasizes starting small, providing her insights on successfully transitioning into eating raw vegan. Tune in!
