    Raising Children on Raw Foods | Q&A with Doug Graham | Ep 2

    Summary:In this talk, Dr. Doug Graham explains why health is not a diet, a trend, or a supplement plan — but a way of living aligned with human design. He breaks down the difference between health and medicine, why many raw food approaches failed, and why 80-10-10 has proven sustainable over decades.Covering sleep, strength training, fasting myths, supplements, aging, and longevity, Doug challenges “normal” health advice and reframes what it actually means to be healthy. The core message is simple: practice, consistency, and first-principle thinking create real, lasting health.Our website: https://www.therawtemple.com/Our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therawtemple/Doug's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdouglasgraham/Chapters:0:00 Intro0:40 Raising a raw vegan child in the modern world2:55 Social challenges & the raw pizza story6:41 Why raw children develop faster socially8:52 “Every child is an experiment”10:21 Nature as the only true model for health12:17 Why people lose weight on 80-10-1015:05 Fruit is fuel, fat is insulation18:11 Health is a cumulative journey20:39 Why 80-10-10 is “sacred”26:04 Health vs. medicine: the core distinction33:44 Sleep, recovery & raw food energy36:19 Why most health advice is “damage control”40:09 Why healthy people need less sleep41:40 Why intermittent fasting isn’t real fasting46:44 Why supplements can’t replace whole foods52:21 “Normal” blood values come from sick people57:39 Bone density, strength & aging1:05:09 What real strength training is1:08:01 Cooked food, proteins & inflammation1:10:26 How much sleep do you really need?1:19:05 Why strength matters for women too1:23:37 Longevity vs. staying young1:28:00 Awareness, listening & presence1:33:01 Practice is the only secret to raw success1:39:45 How diets become “normal”1:44:54 Doug’s spiritual turning point at age 161:49:48 Vision of a fruit-based world1:53:24 Letting go of cooked food1:58:39 Greatness lives outside the comfort zone2:02:14 Why the old raw food movement failed2:07:09 Sustainability is everything2:09:09 Why humans crave sweet foods2:16:18 The five food cravings explained2:19:12 Why carbohydrates are essential for humans2:25:14 Dating on a raw vegan lifestyle2:29:14 Eating raw in cold climates2:41:06 Retreat invitation & closing thoughts
