'Raw For Life' covers the benefits of following a raw vegan diet. It provides a lifestyle-appropriate 'how-to' for making such a change and delivers extremely actionable information for those interested in the link between nutrition and health. It includes more than 30 interviews with health and medical experts, celebrities, prominent leaders in the raw foods movement, plus demos by top raw chefs preparing their signature dishes.
The DVD contains appearances by actor/activist Woody Harrelson, 'The Secret' star Reverend Dr. Michael Beckwith, motivational guru Tony Robbins, leading alternative medicine expert Gary Null, director Morgan Spurlock ('Super Size Me'), raw food advocate David Wolfe, medical doctors Joel Fuhrman, Julian Whitaker and Gabriel Cousens, pro athletes, authors, and dozens more.
"There is a significant movement to incorporate more raw, vegan foods in an everyday diet, but there can be confusion about how to transition to healthier food," said Joel Fuhrman, M.D., one of the country's leading experts on nutrition and natural healing and the author of Eat To Live: The Revolutionary Plan for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss, Fasting and Eating for Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease, and Disease-Proof Your Child."I was glad to lend my expertise to 'Raw For Life' and to shed more light on the links between disease and diet."
The DVD 'Raw For Life' is produced by the team behind the independent documentary film 'Raw for 30 Days,' scheduled for release in Spring 2008 that chronicles six McDonald's-munching Americans with diabetes who switch to a raw vegan diet. The 'Raw For Life' DVD includes details about the medical and nutritional program followed in the film, a protocol that helps reverse diabetes, heart disease, and immune system problems, reduce the cancer risk, combat depression, raise energy levels, and lose weight.
"Once we saw the remarkable medical, physical, emotional and spiritual changes our participants experienced as a result of becoming one hundred percent raw, we wanted this information to be available to the public as soon as possible," said executive producer and creator Mark Perlmutter. "It's been an honor to bring together dozens of experts and leaders in one place, and an outstanding production crew, to bring this DVD to life."
The 'Raw For Life' DVD was produced by Kathy Close, former VP of Production at Oasis TV, an innovative cable network and independent content provider of body/mind/spirit programming. Close has overseen more than 500 independent productions and features for television and film.
Selected experts from 'Raw For Life' will also participate in "Raw Summit 2: The Mind, Body, Spirit and Business Connection," a series of free 'tele-seminars,' or telephone call-in conferences, covering a range of perspectives on a raw vegan diet as well as cutting-edge health and wellness trends. Interviews will be available by telephone and online via podcast. The summit begins October 29; more information is available at www.rawsummit2.com.
