#008 –This week, my guest is Olivia Hertzog.  She’s a private chef and coach, focused on a raw-vegan lifestyle.  I am excited to have her on to talk about her top five tips for helping people transition to a healthier way of eating.  While she focuses on eating raw and mostly fruit-based, this show will be helpful if you are looking to transition how you eat, regardless of whether it’s just adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet or making a bigger shift to veganism, vegetarianism or even all-raw.  Her tips are broad enough that it will be beneficial, regardless of what path you’re on.One of the other reasons that I wanted to have Olivia on the show is because she has been traveling full-time around the US in an RV, while eating healthy.  I love traveling, so talking about how to maintain a lifestyle while traveling full time is one of my favorite topics, but she provides a good example of how to eat well while being out and about and enjoying life.  Olivia is a raw vegan private chef and coach. She lives in her RV and travels around the US teaching people how to adopt a fruit-based diet. She has been personally eating a fruit-based diet for over 4 years. Next year she is hosting several Raw Food Retreats around the US. And online "cooking" classes to teach others how to prepare fruit-based, raw-food recipes! You can find Olivia online at Her websiteFacebookInstagramSHOW NOTES:  Note: Some of the links provided here are affiliate links, which means that if you buy using this link, I will receive a small commission at no extra cost for you.
