About Me

Welcome to Raw, Juicy Living!  My name is Liz Forrest, and I am the founder and creator of Raw, Juicy Living. 

Like many people in North America, I was raised on a SAD (Standard American Diet).....a diet high in meat, potatoes, dairy and processed foods.  As I grew older and started learning more about food, however, I began to question some of the food choices I had been raised on and was making in my own life.   Difficulties with poor digestion and stomach pain in my twenties led me to adopt a vegetarian diet.  This change alone led me to feel so much better I vowed to leave meat off my plate for the rest of my life.

Over the next few years I travelled up and down the continuum of various vegetarian diets with varying success rates.  Working for a public school board in my 30's and contracting many colds, etc. led me to continue on my search for optimum health.  I reasoned that if my immune system was healthy and running optimally, I wouldn't be getting sick.  My search eventually led me to the raw food lifestyle.   It was here that I finally found a lifestyle and way of living that resounded with me and led me to feeling the best I had ever felt in my life!  

Shortly after going raw in April of 2007, I noticed many positive changes including elevated mood and positive outlook in general, NO sick days in the years I've been raw, increased energy levels, faster recovery time from workouts and sports related stresses, increased vitality, clearer skin and an overall sense of joy and well being.  

I've always loved to create and share food, but creating and sharing live, vibrant food takes it to a whole new juicy level!  It's through this website and the goods and services I will offer within it that I strive to share the the joy and health I feel......the joy of living a Raw, Juicy life!    Thanks for accompanying me on my journey....xoxo
