Calling All Food Revolutionaries
Exciting news! Bestselling author John Robbins is personally interviewing 21 people who are leaders in movements for healthy, sustainable, humane and delicious food. From April 28 – May 6, there will be 3 interviews broadcast daily, and you can listen in – for free. You’ll get cutting edge disease-beating, health-activating, age-reversing information. These tools can help you and your family to thrive and to make a difference in the world.
After seeing John Robbins speak LIVE at the LongevityNOW Conference in 2010, I am interested in hearing all that he has to say. His presentation was so genuine, heart-felt, and profound that I, and much of the conference room, was tearing up at the powerful stories he shared. WOW. I was deeply moved with how open he was and the sincere message he brings forth. I’m even more of a fan now than I was when I initially read his books, Diet for a New America and The Food Revolution several years ago – which I highly recommend. They are the catalyst for many people on their health journey!
In case you want to see part of his presentation from that conference, you can catch quite a bit of it here on YouTube (there’s a part 1, 2, and 3).
This summit that he and his son, Ocean Robbins, have put together offers up-to-date, highly useful information from an amazing array of inspiring voices including expert doctors and acclaimed researchers such as Dean Ornish, MD (Preventive Medicine Research Institute) and T. Colin Cambell, Ph.D (The China Study); NY Times best-selling authors Marianne Williamson (Spiritual Principles for Weight Loss) and Kathy Freston (Quantum Wellness); Culture-changers and icons such as Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me) and Rory Freedman (Skinny Bitch); Natural health pioneers such as Joseph Mercola (Mercola.com) and David Wolfe (Radiant Health Now); Food system innovators such as Vandana Shiva (How to Stop Big Ag) and Ronnie Cummins (Organic Consumers Association), and many more inspiring visionaries. This will be EPIC!
The Summit offers training, inspiration and practical know-how from modern day heroes of health and sustainability. Participants are promised answers to burning questions, tools for dealing with family and peers, and practically useful insights, ideas, motivation and tips, all from the comfort and convenience of your phone and computer. Stay at home… listen in… and learn how to make an extremely positive impact.
The summit will include focus on the latest thinking on preventing and reversing heart disease, cancer and diabetes; the truth about GMOs, soy, raw foods, and grass-fed beef; the social, ethical and environmental impact of what you eat; and how to inspire your family to join you in making healthy choices.
Learn more and register for free, here: The Food Revolution Summit. I’ll be listening to the calls with you. This is something we all need to hear!
Homemade Raw Superfood Granola
Homemade raw superfood granola
For those that love a nice crunchy texture bursting with multiple flavors, you’ll adore this homemade granola recipe. Granola used to be one of my favorite snack foods when I ate more processed, packaged organic foods and wasn’t as clean with my food choices. This is a very flexible recipe that can be adapted based upon what ingredients you currently have in your conscious kitchen and I advise making more than you expect you’ll want to since it’s a pretty addictive healthy snack for your entire family.
The Raw Superfood Granola makes a wonderful travel food and is ideal for people who are super busy with crazy schedules (or many kids) who typically grab whatever is easy when they’re out grabbing a bite to eat on their lunch break.
The base of the recipe is buckwheat, nuts and seeds of choice, raw honey, and organic superfood and/or tonic herbal powders of choice. I used multiple sweeteners (raw honey, lucuma and stevia extract), and many of the superfoods I have in my superwoman stash. It doesn’t have to be as many ingredients as I list; I just wanted to load it up with as much as I could as an experiment to see if it would still be tasty – and, it was! I love simple foods too, yet I do enjoy loading up recipes like this with as much goodness as possible so each bite is packed with nutrition.
The amounts you use aren’t really that important, but I’ve given you a general sense of the amounts I used below. I didn’t measure anything and used my intuition; the base is soaked and rinsed buckwheat and nuts + seeds (so it wasn’t just buckwheat granola) with small amounts of everything else. If you want a lighter granola, use more buckwheat and if you want a more dense, heavy, and nutty granola, use more nuts and seeds. Play around and make a different version each time!
Buckwheat directions: soak a few cups of organic buckwheat (bought in the bulk food section at natural health food stores) in spring water overnight. Rinse thoroughly the next morning – the gooey-ness will go away if rinsed well enough. Let it drip in the sink for a while and then sit on the counter to dry (same process as making sprouts). You can use the buckwheat right away or sprout them for a several more hours or again, overnight.
In making the recipe this way (with a diverse selection of ingredients and choices), I took a chance that it would turn out better than the raw food granola at natural health food stores. This recipe is WAY beyond anything that can be purchased in the raw food section of stores and is incredibly more nutritious and cost-effective.
Pre-dehydrated granola mixture spread evenly on tray
Ingredients (100% raw + organic)
Your Granola Base (approximate measurements):
1+ cup sprouted buckwheat
1/2-1 cup soaked pumpkin seeds
1/2 -1 cup soaked sunflower seeds
1/2 cup cashews or macadamia nuts (truly raw, please!)
1 T homemade almond butter (really nice delicious addition to bind ingredients if you want that)
OR – do primarily buckwheat with just a couple small handfuls of nuts and/or seeds. I did this in my 2nd batch & it’s awesome.
* nuts and seeds do not need to be dehydrated, but they certainly can be – I took them right out of the bowl they were soaking in
Dried Fruit:
- goji berries (I only use the Dragon Herbs Heaven Mountain or Bija brands)
- dried cherries
- raisins (not nearly as nutritious as goji berries, but an good option especially for kids)
Superfoods of Choice (possibilities are endless – I’ve just listed here what I made in the batch that’s pictured; use select ingredients in amounts desired; make a different batch each time and experiment!):
- maca (energy, stamina and hormone balancing)
- cacao (powder and/or sweetened or plain nibs)
- mucuna (natural mood-booster)
- noni powder (super immunity)
- wild blue green algae, spirulina, and/or chlorella (by HealthForce)*
- marine phytoplankton (another epic algae)*
- hand-harvested local pine pollen (or bought online)
- Chocolate or Vanilla Phycocyanin Warrior Food (raw vegan protein powder)
* I consider algae to be very important in a nutritional program and put it in everything.
Sweeteners:
- approx 1 T vanilla or cinnamon infused raw honey (or your favorite raw honey!)
- 1 teaspoon lucuma
- pinches of stevia extract powder (Kal brand), (optional)
* If you’d rather not use raw honey and prefer to keep it super low-glycemic, add more lucuma and stevia to taste. It can be done and really taste dee-lish! You can always add other sweeteners, but the ones I list are my personal favorites.
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon wildcrafted vanilla bean
- pinches of sea salt
Directions: Mix your ingredients all together in the food processor. Pulse until mixed well – do not over pulse (unless you want to turn this into granola bars which I’ll share a recipe for in another post)! Spread mixture onto teflex dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for several hours or overnight. Check on your granola and flip once the one side is dry and crunchy, and dehydrate for another few hours until it’s the way you want it.
Package some up and feed it to your kids, keep it around as a healthy snack to nibble on, and bring it with you on road trips so there’s something nutrient-dense that you can eat in lieu of pre-packaged products made with less love than this chewy granola recipe I’ve shared here!

Postponing Your Health is a Death Sentence
How do you respond when you read the title of this article? Based on what you have experienced with loved ones or acquaintances in your blessed life, have you found it to be true? I do realize it’s a bold statement and I know it’s 100% true in my own experience having seen this brutal reality. I wish it wasn’t true…
Why is postponing your health a death sentence? Because procrastination tends to set in if you take too long to think things over and consider all the possibilities, options, and what’s involved. If you keep putting things off, when will you ever start? Unconsciously, self-sabotaging behavior slowly creeps in (deep subject as to why, but it does happen). Then, guilt settles in because you know you should have done something sooner. Before you know it, it’s months or years later and you’re in the same position or even worse off because you haven’t taken action. Taking action – REALLY taking forward-moving action – takes an inner drive so powerful because on a deep level within you desperately want to look or feel different and are sick and tired of looking or feeling like you do.
Why do people postpone living a healthier lifestyle? 3 top reasons why I believe this happens (I’m very honest, beware):
1) There is a lack of belief in oneself due to a lack of self-love. If you believe you are worth it, why would you postpone doing everything you can to make your life what you want it to be? Getting to the very core (and this can be a sensitive issue for many), it’s because you don’t think you deserve it. This inevitably creates self-sabotaging behavior (known or unknown and whether you accept it or not) that makes it easy for you to rattle off excuse after excuse for why you haven’t taken action on the targeted strategy that could help you. The answers ARE available and in a world full of possibility and unlimited opportunity, it really is at your fingertips if you want it.
2) There is a feeling that you cannot reach the goal you want for yourself, or you’re so overwhelmed with how to get there that you don’t even start because you’re not sure even where to begin. So, you don’t start, and each week, month, or year you continue to set similar goals for yourself with an underlying feeling of guilt that you haven’t already just bit the bullet and taken control and done what you said you wanted to do.
3) It’s so much easier to stay in your comfort zone rather than adopt new habits and consciously create a better life for yourself. Change can be hard to accept and it takes a deep commitment to succeed. You have to be super clear on why you want this for yourself. It’s takes a major amount of courage to go against the grain and to live unconventionally (sadly, being on a super progressive diet and lifestyle is considered to be so). “There is never a crowd on the leading edge.” ~ Abraham-Hicks
These are the reasons that I see come up again and again in my work with clients. If you want to shorten the learning curve for eating more healthfully and living a cleaner lifestyle, check out this article I wrote on “how to shorten the learning curve for anything“.
My advice is to take things bite by bite. The right simple changes can bring profound and miraculous results! This is my favorite strategy in coaching others to gain control of their health so we cut overwhelm out of the equation and really focus on the few things that they/you/I will actually do initially… and then do them each with 1000% commitment. It works. You gain positive momentum after you’ve achieved even small successes and this carries you to adopt healthier nutrition and lifestyle choices – choice by choice. Start with where you are – get really clear on where that is and don’t kid yourself. Then, either work with someone who can truly help you, or go as far as you can on your own and never stop learning, soaking in new knowledge, and finding ways to inspire yourself.
You have to know that you ARE worth it. No matter who you are and even with all the mistakes you’ve made, you deserve to be healthier. You really have a bright future ahead of you and it can be exponentially better if you’re feeling amazing much more often than not. Release the same story you’ve been telling yourself and just do something to make your life different! I’m here giving you permission if you need it and to reinforce that you have to do this for yourself to save your life!
We are bombarded with toxins, pollutants, and harsh realities. Do everything you can to reverse the damage that’s been done (we all need a bit of damage control) and take your health to the next level. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF … keep coming back to this. It’s the #1 mindset you need to have to design a healthy life that rewards you beyond your wildest dreams.
What is the fuel that makes you take action with regard to your health?

The 5 Must Know Steps About Growing Food
Homegrown cabbage
In my experience of growing my own food, there are 5 primary steps that I’ve found to be the most important. They may be obvious steps to some, yet notice the simple upgrades I’ve made to each. I want to share these with you because I’ve found that growing some of my own food, having an edible garden, and going above standards options for gardening by using amendments as discussed below, has been the best health decision I’ve EVER made.

The Good Karma Giveaway Fiesta
7 days ago, I watched a video that I linked to from my friends Peter Ragnar & Katrina Mayer as part of their work with The Pro-Youthing Summit. This summit includes 3 free training videos for anti-aging, abundance, and spiritual wisdom that I highly recommend (you’ll see why). The first video I watched with Joe Vitale was very inspiring and really struck a cord within me. Read more

Wow! What a great class last week. I learned a great deal and want to know more. I was surprised and impressed at the depth of knowledge that both Bethanne and Christian have! Thanks again for everything. I felt transformed leaving your class. My energy was back to where it was 25 years ago.
~ Amey Shaw
Thank you, Bethanne and Christian!!! The Chocolate Superfood Workshop was a top-notch event, packed with useful information, helpful demonstrations, and of course, delicious chocolate creations. You and Christian are a wealth of information and wisdom, and I especially appreciate your attitude of allowing and kindness. It is evident that you are passionate about bringing health, harmony, and beauty to our lives and to the world, and it appears that you are well on your way to accomplishing just that 
~ Love & Blessings, Jasmine Shanti David
I recently attended Bethanne & Christian’s chocolate-making workshop. I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy the recipes were and Bethanne & Christian generously shared their superfoods knowledge and made it simple enough for me to go home with the confidence to try it myself. Can I just say I am sitting here right now eating some of the best tasting chocolate ever! Not only did I learn how to make this amazingly satisfying chocolate, I learned how to sneak some superfoods into my daily recipes… Thank you Bethanne & Christian for sharing your creations with us!
~ Daina Selph
Yum, the treats were absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try out these recipes on my own. I plan to give the gift of healthy chocolates to everyone on my list and share them wherever I can. Sharing super healthy foods instead of toxic food with others during the holidays is always my goal. Now I know I can share something everyone will love, chocolate! Thank you Bethanne and Christian for an informative workshop. I love that you shared so much information about the ingredients in your recipes and empowered us to try to personalize and experiment with them.
~ Ramona Beville, Health Coach
Thank you so much!!! I really loved my experience with you two! I’ve been drinking my shake everyday since the talk… I could live on it actually… sooo yummy! I found the class informative and great fun! I loved the nutritional info in the class, packed with great sources and background on the super foods. Everything was yummy and great to know I can now make tasty treats that are actually good for me and my family! Great setting too! Highly recommend this class. Keep up the great work!
~ Fredda Psaltis
I REALLY enjoyed the Chocolate Superfood and Dessert making class by Christian and Bethanne. It was inspirational, educational, and fun! I made the superfood chocolate fudge at home the very next day and it was easy – even my husband and kids loved it. This is definitely something I will bring to wow my friends and family at future gatherings, raw foodies and SAD eaters alike.
~ Cindy Yacob
As a raw vegan who experiments with a variety of foods, it was fun for me to get new and creative ways to use raw chocolate mixed with superfoods. All the samples were delicious! Bethanne and Christian have a wealth of information to share and I highly recommend the Chocolate Making class or any other class or event that they host. Thanks!

2011′s Top 10 Grateful List
I haven’t posted in months and yet have been making notes of blog ideas for potential upcoming posts. Which topic do I write on 1st? Gratitude is always a good place to start and with 2011 melting into the past and 2012 upon us, what could be more relevant than a years overview of gratitude?
This has been an “interesting” (aka: challenging) year for some and whether or not you consider yourself 1 of them, there are always plenty of reasons to count your blessings and show some appreciation for what ya have.
My Top 10 Grateful List for 2011 (“I am grateful for…”)
1) Formulating the best version of my Chocolate Goldies to date. They have reached a milestone in terms of quality, flavor, texture, and outrageously positive feedback. I’m very proud and excited for their future. I created what I wanted myself, and everyone else cannot get enough!
2) My ability to show & speak my love without resistance. Even when my super strong 75 lb dog was in a heated stand-off with 2 disgruntled & defensive 1200-1500 lb cows on Christmas day at the beach (I know, very random LOL), I ran to his defense to save him from what was an imminent disaster. Scary as hell, but all out of love. Real love overrides, I’m convinced.
3) All the people I learn from: self-development gurus / authors / speakers, women entrepreneurs making a big difference, cutting edge nutrition superstars & colleagues, and those that continue to spread the message they are here to share. Shine your light; I am listening. 
4) Listening to my inner guidance which of course resulted in a saving grace at the last possible second when looking for a new place to live earlier this summer. The synchronicity & goodness of it all is absurd; as it turns out, my new next door neighbor is the man behind the #1 nutritional bar in history (and continues to be today); his experience and generous insights have given us valuable perspective. And, we have a cozy space to live & an ideal space to grow food, for now. Yay!
5) My organic edible vegetable garden, which has changed my life for the better forever. It’s the best health decision I have ever made. I had no idea how much of an impact it would have on my emotional and physical health.
6) The body I have, the health I’ve earned, the mindset I’ve adopted, the attitude I’ve embraced, the life I’m creating, the positive impact I’ve had, and the continual discoveries I make about myself.
7) The immense support I received after a big & hairy change took place in my professional life at the very beginning of this year. Emails, messages & letters poured in with love, gratitude, positive mojo, blessings, and shifts in perspective. Thank you! I came to a deeper understanding w/ more clarity of all that I’m here to contribute and how I can best serve others (aiming to have a positive global impact seeking to uplift mankind). Much more on this in 2012…
8) The thoughtful email I received from a friend which led to a series of mini-miracles and extraordinary experiences ultimately connecting me with the inspiring mentor & coach I’ve been seeking for years. All because I trusted my intuition and acted on it. No coincidences folks!
9) The clients I’ve attracted into my life. Ideal would be the best word to describe these women. If you’re a coach or practitioner, you know how important it is to work with those you WANT to work with. I love their commitment to themselves & that they inspire me, too!
10) My faith and trust in this next year to be exploding with ridiculous synchronicities, abundance, magic, miracles, love, peace, joy, well-being, unity, transformation, and transcendence. 2012 is the year it comes together my friends!

Bethanne’s Personal Exercise Routine For Radiant Health
Is there a specific strategy to keep a girl really toned, trim, and fit? Other than the obvious – eat a clean diet and exercise regularly – what specifically can be done to whittle down the waist, slim down the thighs, and get rid of cellulite? I’ve been experimenting in the past several months with my exercise routine and have put together a list of my favorite activities that also happen to give me the best results.
My confession is that consistent and regular exercise is the 1 thing that has not always been consistent and regular. When I’m “on” – I’m ON. And when I’m in a phase of lacking self motivation – my body, energy levels, mood & thighs show me I’ve been slacking.
I’m happy to say that this summer I’ve been very inspired and motivated and know my commitment is paying off because I FEEL GOOD! Isn’t that what we’re all reaching for anyway?
Beautiful Marin County w/ hiking trails galore
Hiking: Trails are everywhere in Marin County, CA – so much so, that I could potentially find new trails to explore nearly every week. I love being so connected with Nature hiking in the woods and open country, it’s like a moving meditation for me. There are lots of hills with breath-taking panoramic views to enjoy while getting a great booty workout.
Rebounding: Typically 5-30 minutes per day, at times split throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening. I love doing jumping jacks and jogging on the rebounder. Just get on, jump up & down, twist, and hop around to move your lymph and detoxify the fun way! Then, I get off and do tricep pushups against the rebounder – my fav way to tone up that area.
Jogging: I’ve got a big sweet dog who never tires and his pace for walking/prancing is a nice jog for me. I usually go for a minimum of 30 minutes when I jog and at times up to 75 (of which I’ll jog about 1/2 to 2/3 of the route depending upon how hot it is and walk the rest). Jogging has to be 1 of the quickest ways I know of to get leaner thighs, but it’s not something I’m committed to every day. I go in spurts.
I love my bike!
Biking: Got my bike tuned up after 2 years of it being more or less in storage and I’m riding 35-60 mins a day, everyday now since the cobwebs got dusted off earlier last month. I ride in flip flops, a tank top, and feel the breeze whiz by my skin. There’s no shortage of hills, and they are quite tolerable yet still offer a wicked leg workout.
Walking: 5+ years ago when I got my high energy dog, Java, I lost almost 10 lbs just from walking, playing, and running around with him. Get a dog that doesn’t tire easily if you need to lose weight – seriously – it forces you to commit and works like nothing else! And, take your furry love on long walks to allow yourself time to decompress, be with yourself, and think. The results for your body and mind are amazing.
Rollerblading is so much fun!
Rollerblading: I’m obsessed with rollerblading. There’s something about it that’s thrilling and exhilarating for me! It’s also a bad ass workout to slim down legs that have trouble losing excess fat. I recently moved into a neighborhood that is perfect for blading and although I could go everyday, there’s so much else I do that I blade whenever the mood strikes. In Seattle, where I lived until I moved to Marin Cty the fall of 2009, there’s an amazing trail called the Burke Gilman that I’d blade on for 1-2 hrs. There’s a paved trail just 30 mins away where I live now so I can get back on my rollerblading joy ride! I just started taking my dog with me to burn his excess energy, too – good times!
Yoga: I’m a fan of Bikram and Power Yoga. Again, this is a moving meditation for me and I love the focus and determination it takes to make my way through a class. At home, I do yoga on the patio in the Sun w/ my boyfriend, which I love 
MY OBSERVATION: I notice that I enjoy the types of exercise that feel freeing and even exhilarating to me – and therefore, I can maintain a more consistent and regular routine. I’m the type of person who HAS TO love the activity I do, otherwise it won’t happen. This is why I switch between all of the above and I keep my body guessing so it doesn’t become the same hum-drum exercise every day.
MY ADVICE: Find activities you cannot get enough of, rotate them, and do whatever it takes to get into the momentum and carry it forward!
The Ultimate Beauty Elixir with MSM & Pearl
Combining MSM, pearl, and whole food vitamin C is one of the most powerful ways to get the radiant glow and glowing skin that makes you appear 10 years younger than you are. MSM and vitamin C (lemon is used in the elixir below), work in synergy and allow for greater absorption and assimilation when used together. They create such a smooth finish on the skin that hardly anything else can touch… until you add PEARL to the mix! Pearl is a renowned herb that takes the basic elixir concept to the next level.
MSM + Pearl + Fresh Lemon = MAGICAL Combination
The Ultimate Beauty Elixir w/ MSM & Pearl
The Ultimate Beauty Elixir
4.5 cups spring water
1 teaspoon plant-derived MSM
1/2 teaspoon pearl powder
2 freshly squeezed organic lemons
1/4 teaspoon organic white stevia extract
1-2 big pinches sea salt
several ice cubes (made w/ spring water)
Blend on high for 20 seconds. Drink daily to clear skin conditions, and feed your body the nourishment it desires and needs for flawless beauty.
WHY PEARL?
The benefits of using pearl consistently and constantly are endless. Pearl is the beauty secret behind the beautiful women of the Orient, who are known for looking young for what seems like – forever. It is rich in minerals, amino acids, and co-factors. These are the top reasons a women wants pearl in her regular beauty regimen:
Pearl
- Lower blood pressure
- Benefits reproduction
- Relieve “wandering arthritis,” and internal fever
- Remove visual obstacles and improve eyesight
- Ability to relieve uneasiness of the heart and mind
- Prevents skin from looking old, wrinkled, and from sagging
- Maintain energy, vitality; increase endurance; overcome fatigue
- Promote muscle development and to invigorate blood circulation
- Age slowly and avoid being easily harmed by time or the elements
- Relieve uneasiness, nervousness, anxiety and tension (stress shows on your face)
- Provides the minerals necessary to possibly prevent osteoporosis and to strengthen the cardiovascular system
(benefits re-written from Dragon Herbs)
You can get Pearl online – 1 of my favorite places to source Chinese Tonic Herbs is from Dragon Herbs: www.DragonHerbs.com.
