Raw Gypsy Not Quite Hippie

In today's episode, I sit down with Gabriel Miller. This young man was a High School Football star. As a matter of fact, he was ranked #2 in his position in the country, coming out of High School. Gabriel had many offers to play at different schools but chose to go to Lincoln, Nebraska and play for The Cornhuskers. A Big 10 powerhouse in the world of College Football.

Started his freshman year and played in many big games, including A Gator Bowl Win VS Georgia! Unfortunately, his dream of playing football in Lincoln would come to an end the following season, leading up. During a workout, just weeks from the beginning of the 2014 season, Gabriel had a severe back injury. It was later determined that some of his vertebrae had fractured and caused several discs to rupture and become herniated. 

After a 6 hour surgery and months of rehabilitation, Gabriel was bale to walk again. What Gabriel also resumed was his eating habits. After exceeding 260lbs, he knew that he had to make a change. Chronic disease ran in his family as it does in almost every family within the United States. 

After listening to a lecture on dietary guidelines from a 300lb plus professor, Gabriel decided to take the bull by the horns and discover a healthier way to eat and live. He adopted a Whole Food Plant-Based Lifestyle and never looked back. 100lbs lighter and a new lease on life, Gabriel now has a beautiful Wife, a baby along the way and the drive to bring awareness to the ongoing issues of chronic disease that could and should easily be addressed with a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet and Lifestyle!

WOW! What an interview! Chris Kendall of "The Raw Advantage" is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher, Raw Chef, Author of several Raw Recipe books, Guest Speaker, Life Coach, Amateur Skate Boarder  as well as a 15+ year Raw Vegan. 

In this episode, Chris talks about how at an early age, he struggled with a poor diet, poor habits and choices. All of which caused him to look with in and make a change. Oddly enough, a "Yoga VHS Tape" purchased at Wal Mart was the catalyst for that change. This practice lit a fire in Chris that has only become brighter and hotter. 

Chis became more aware of his food choices and with the diligent learning and the chance encounter with a legend in Raw Vegan movement, Dr. Doug Graham, He was set on a path of enlightenment and self love! Dr. Doug Graham has now become a mentor and friend to Chris and changed his life forever.

In this episode, I take a break from the RAW and focus on the GYPSY! Come and listen as I have the pleasure and honor to speak with  Dustin, who has recently retired from the Army and his beloved wife, Leslie, who has also retired. You may know them in social media as "THE WAYWARD WAGGS! The Waggs are an adventurous couple, who have raised their only daughter, Lauren. Guided her through high school and now beginning her life in college. 

Instead of worrying about the "Empty Nest" syndrome, Dustin and Leslie decided to sell their house, the majority of their belongings, purchase an RV and hit the open road! 

Along with their pet bearded dragon named "Scout", they have set in motion a plan that will take them all over this great country and on  an adventure that will make most green with envy!
