I spotted Gena’s blog some monthes ago. One of the best raw blogs out there. I’ve tried a number of the recipes with success.

Hi Gena, What a lovely story of both self-discovery and health-recovery. I really enjoyed it and admire your trust in the body, and not just your body but your sense of what made you feel better and what didn’t. Very beautifully written. Thank you for sharing you the more personal aspects of your story. It makes it more powerful. :)

Gena, thanks for the great interview! You are a doll, you know you how much I love and respect you, not only for what you do on your blog and with your clients, but you are helping to raise consciousness about being high raw and vegan in a gentle, non-judgmental way. Much love to you my dear :)

Since I never held myself to an impossible standard, and since I never took an all or nothing approach to raw foods, I was able to enjoy my journey…

THIS is one of the reasons I resonate so strongly with you, Gena. I took the same approach. A grand adventure!

I really credit nutritionist Natalia Rose for making my transition/transformation fun and exciting. I’ve recommended her book “Raw Food Detox Diet” to so many, because of her very sensible, grounded start-where-you-are approach. I know you take that same approach with your clients, Gena.

I’ve had so many folks contact me with questions and seeking advice/answers. I just tell them, “Go talk to Gena. She’s much more knowledgeable (and patient) than me.”

LOVED the interview. What a treat — two of my fave nutrition/health educators in the same place. A good match, Evita + Gena!

I’ve been reading Choosing Raw for several months and I love Gena’s sensible approach to raw. Thank you, Evita, for interviewing her.

Hi, Gena. I’m so happy to learn of your blog, and thank you for sharing your story of gentle and supportive self-change. I felt the permission when you said “I never saw the process of going raw as a challenge,” “see the journey as fun,” and “with a sense of relaxed, anxiety-free curiosity.” Also, you are reiterating what I’ve heard from others, that a raw or mostly raw diet dramatically increases energy and stamina as well as even moods. This all intrigues me very much! I’m looking forward to learning more from you and your site. Thank you for sharing. :)
