    Wanna hear more about our Raw Chef Trainings? Check: https://www.therawtemple.com/dM4IMO SUMMARY In this episode of Raw Talks, host Alex sits down with Joey Bilotich, a 22-year-old men's coach and plant-based athlete who went from a hedonistic lifestyle to winning a natural bodybuilding competition on a vegan diet. Joey shares how his brother's ethical arguments dismantled his carnivore beliefs, why he views veganism as the most masculine dietary choice a man can make, and the moment before his second competition that redirected his whole mission. He breaks down the four pillars of men's work — physical, mental, sexual, and spiritual — and explains why purpose only arrives once a man becomes internally abundant. Alex and Joey also dig into why so many intelligent people still eat meat, the social pressure that pulls vegans back, and what a world without slaughterhouses could look like. This conversation covers veganism and masculinity, bodybuilding on plants, activism, self-development, sexuality, and finding purpose as a young man.

    Wanna hear more about our Raw Chef Trainings? Check: https://www.therawtemple.com/dM4IMO SUMMARY In this episode of Raw Talks, host Alex sits down with Dr. George Cromack, a chiropractic physician who has been eating a high-fruit, high-raw vegan diet for 53 years and is still training six days a week at 72. He shares what his diet actually looks like across the year, the mistakes he made starting out at 19 in 1970s New Jersey, and why going too fast with detox and fasting is the main reason so many people abandon raw food and swing to carnivore. He makes the case for a flexible, practical approach built around raw till 4, explains why he considers spirulina one of his most valuable tools, and breaks down why the fear of fruit sugar rests on a misunderstanding of basic biochemistry.

    We Had a Baby on a Raw Vegan Diet — and a Natural Home Birth | Zaia & Carlos | Ep 26

    Wanna hear more about our Raw Chef Trainings? Check: https://www.therawtemple.com/dM4IMO SUMMARY In this episode of Raw Talks, host Alex sits down with Carlos and Zaia, parents of baby Atmanu, for a live audience conversation at The Raw Temple in Ubud about raw vegan pregnancy, birth and parenting. Zaia shares what actually happened when she tried to stay fully raw through pregnancy — the morning sickness, the two months of eating mostly durian, and the postpartum lactation crisis that she traces back to stress rather than food. Carlos explains why diet is always the first thing blamed when a vegan family hits a problem, and how they sourced donor breast milk rather than turning to formula. Together they talk about free birthing in Costa Rica, setting boundaries with grandparents, cravings, and what changed in them once a baby arrived. This conversation covers raw vegan pregnancy, postpartum recovery, fruit-based nutrition, and the real cost of going against the grain.
