My name is Kim and I'm 38 years old originally from Austin, TX currently living in S. Korea with my family. Although I have been registered here for a few months, I've never introduced myself. I had been content to read and try to learn as much as possible about the raw lifestyle, but I think it's also kept me from actually jumping in and getting started.
I've been a member of the typical SAD club for most of my life, and have felt the effects of such a horrible diet. Intermittent depression, lack of lust for life, and mental fog have plagued me off and on for several years, but I didn't know how to heal myself. Until now, that is.
I've dabbled with a vegan lifestyle for the last couple of years, as well as dipped my toe in the raw pool with juice fasts for a few days at a time. And even though I always felt better after incorporating more raw foods, I always fell back into the old habits, abandoning the rawness for pizza or something else that gave me indigestion.
Today is day one of my raw journey, and hope to learn a lot from those who are willing to share knowledge.
