Raw Chef Secrets with @RawChefYin

In this video, @RawChefYin and I dive deep into the fascinating world of raw food cheffing, sharing all of our raw chef secrets, tips, and insights from our time in the raw food scene. I talk about what it’s like to be a chef for raw food retreats and festivals—what happens behind the scenes, how to balance creativity and practicality, and the realities of feeding large groups with different dietary needs. We also discuss pop-ups, smaller live events, and festivals, providing key tips to make the whole process easier and more manageable. It’s not always easy, but it’s an incredibly rewarding part of this lifestyle!

We also touch on the topic of food combining, a major focus for anyone looking to optimize digestion and well-being. But here’s the twist: not all food combining concepts are fully accurate. We break down some of the common misconceptions and discuss how your mindset plays a significant role in how your body processes food. In fact, the way you mentally approach your meals can be just as important as what’s on your plate.

If you’ve ever considered running or attending a raw food retreat, we’ve got you covered exposing all of our raw che secrets. We go into how to start and manage a raw food retreat, sharing insights on what it takes to pull everything together. Whether you’re a host or a guest, this discussion will give you a real sense of the effort and passion that goes into creating an immersive raw food experience.

Then we dive into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, where I share a bit of a controversial take. While I don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, I do think it’s essential to consider the differences between a nature-based raw food approach and the more intellectual check-and-balance systems like TCM and Ayurveda. These ancient traditions offer valuable insights, but there are also key factors to weigh when comparing them with the simplicity and directness of raw, nature-based living.

For anyone unsure of how to start their raw food journey, we also break down how to make the most of the Vibrant Health Bundle. With so many amazing resources, it’s a real treasure trove for anyone looking to deepen their raw food knowledge. We guide you through navigating the bundle and starting to use it in a way that will truly elevate your raw food lifestyle.

Whether you’re interested in the behind-the-scenes of raw food cheffing or want to explore deeper topics like food combining, retreats, or ancient health systems, this video offers plenty of insights. It’s a fun, honest conversation packed with practical tips and new perspectives, exposing all of our raw chef secrets.
