Judy has struggled with weight her whole life.  She went through drastic means of weight loss including Intestinal By- pass surgery where she indeed did lose weight but almost died as well. She has spent thousands of dollars on every diet that comes along, including having her jaw wired!  She would lose a few pounds and then lose interest….gaining the weight back plus more!! She has lost 100 pound many times.  She even had lap band surgery and lost about 50 pounds.  Eating so little and still the weight loss stopped.  She counted every calorie and never went beyond 1000 calories per day.  Her body went into a starvation mode. The scale wouldn't budge!!  She had failed again! Her self esteem and confidence went right out the window.  She was desperate.  Her daughter Lisa has been a “health nut” since her teen years.  She is a picture of health, vibrant and full of life!  Her raw lifestyle and enthusiasm encouraged Judy to give it a try. Judy has cooked and catered for many years, and loves it!  Her new lifestyle living Raw has opened many doors for her creative side.  She is having a lot of fun preparing and creating new recipes for friends and family to enjoy, no longer counts calories and for the first time in her entire life she can eat all the fresh fruits and veggies that her heart desires.  The weight is literally falling off (over 90 pounds so far) and she has never felt better. The Educational program offered here through The Raw Vegan Network and The Ekaya Institute has allowed her to become more knowledgeable and confident. She is now able to assist others to regain health, lose weight and feel better not in years or months but often in weeks by eating raw foods!

    She is currently doing Raw Food Demo's at "Curves" of Lexington (Michigan) at The Carroll House B&B, Lake Huron Retreat center, and is working out the details to help kick off "Honeycomb" Health Food Store (in Wadhams, Michigan) new organic produce center. She has also been invited for a radio interview with Rhio on the Hooked on Raw radio station. She is excited to share this wonderful new lifestyle and wants to help others in their journey as well!
