More October Announcements!
Hi all,
I’m thrilled with the responses I’ve gotten to the birth control question. I confess that I sparked that topic with a very imperfect knowledge base, and you guys have really helped fill in the gaps. Thanks, and keep your thoughts coming, please!
Three special announcements:
1) Next Wednesday, October 14th, at 7:00 PM, I’ll be co-hosting a very special lecture on cellular cleansing and detoxification with Gil Jacobs and Cassie Karopkin of Axis Healing. For those of you who don’t know their work already, Gil and Cassie are leaders in health. They’re among the best colon hydrotherapists in the world–I’d argue without reservation that they are the best–and they have unparalleled knowledge about the body’s capacity to heal and about proper nutrition and self-care.
I know that many of you have heard me mention colon hydrotherapy and are curious about it. If you’re in the New York area and are free to attend, please do! You’ll have a chance to say hi to me, to hear all about detox from those who know the process best, and to meet others who are interested in a cleansing lifestyle.
If you do wish to attend, please email me at Gena@choosingraw.com by Monday, October 12th. You’ll get bonus points if you also include a question about raw foods or detoxification that we can address during the lecture. The lecture will be held at 528 East 5th St., #1B, between Avenues A and B. Cost of admission is $10.
See you there!
2) Sick and tired of hating your body? I have good news: two fellow counselor friends of mine, Hadley Seward and Andrea Moss, will be hosting a group phone class, to be held every other Wednesday starting this month, called “Fall Back in Love With Your Body.” Put simply, they’ll tell you how to feel beautiful on the inside and outside–without deprivation or denial.
Classes are held over the phone over four Wednesdays from 8p – 9p: 10/28, 11/4, 11/11, 11/18. A package of four weekly sessions for only $125, but if you sign up by October 14, it’s only $99. And all Choosing Raw readers will get a 10% discount if they mention having seen this announcement.
Hadley and Andrea are terrific ladies, and their classes are an ideal way to regain self-love in a non-judgmental environment. To sign up, please e-mail info@sparkyourwellness.com or call 917.328.5289.
3) Raw Wednesday returns tomorrow! Get excited!

Testimonials
–Lyn D., MarylandBefore I started working with Gena, I wasn’t sure whether it would be worth it, since I knew what I “should” be doing. Her counseling, however, turned out to be a key factor in my success.
Not only does she have great advice when I am struggling, but her realistic approach helped me make major changes despite having no time and limited funds. Her recipes and ideas are for real people with lives beyond their diets, and they are great. Gena is down to earth and non-judgmental. She strikes a great balance between encouraging me to go a little father but to keep things in perspective and have fun with the process.

FAQ
So where do you get your protein?Ah, the million dollar question. I know that my fellow raw foodists are uttering a collective sigh of frustration with me. But it’s inevitable, so here goes:
I get my protein from a wide array of vegetables, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes. The notion that we need to supplement our diet with large amounts of protein, especially in the form of animal products, is mistaken: our bodies are capable of assembling amino acids from all of the foods we eat and building the “complete proteins” that we’ve all been told we need to get in a single sitting.

Recommendations
Juicer (average $50.00 - $500.00)If you’re like me, and juicing is a crucial part of your lifestyle, then the cost of a juicer will absolutely be worth it! It will buy itself back again and again and again. The juicer I recommend is the Breville Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus. It’s the only juicer I’ve ever owned, and it has never let me down. I recommend you invest in a juicer that has at least this level of performance in order to juice leafy greens.
Some of you have asked me whether it’s wiser to buy a juicer or a Vitamix.

Ah I might be out of town next Wednes, but if I’m here, I’d love to come! I’ll email you once I’m certain!
Ahhh how I wish to be living in NJ again! I would have loved to attend your lecture. Yeah for Raw Wednesdays!
Uh oh, I’m wishing I lived in NYC right about now…would LOVE to attend your lecture. Hmmm a 3.5 hour train ride isn’t that bad…
Raw Wednesday is returning?! Dang and I already ate my breakfast. Oh well, lunch will be raw!
What exciting news… I wish I lived in the NYC area. I am excited for your raw Wednesdays.
You have so much exciting stuff going on!
I would love to go! Especially since I just got my juicer! I am going to e-mail you in a little while once I am certain
I’d love to go, until I saw the price tag
Any FREE lectures anytime Gena? I am a poor college student, and NYU is putting me in debt to my eyeballs, but wouldn’t mind sitting in. I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now, and it has reawakened my interest in raw foods. I’ve been eating vegan since I was 13 (almost 6 years now! woohoo!) but I’ve never done raw foodism for more than a few weeks at a time. Your recipes have been fun (and easy) to make, even for me. My aunt even gave me a juicer she just had unused and lying around! I do have a lot of food intolerances (including a bad nut allergy)
How do you suppose I get my proteins in a high-raw diet? Nuts seem to be a staple of Raw Foodism. And, ideally, legumes aren’t consumed either? (I am not allergic to seeds, if that helps)
Loved your post on birth control Gena – thanks so much. So perturbed with myself…I completely forgot about raw Wednesday…let’s see, I ate an apple today. That counts, right?
