Hi everybody,

Just a reminder about tonight's "Natural Defense" seminar and post-cleanse get together.  Fellow cleansers, please fell free to bring a potluck, cleanse-friendly food item to share.

It's at 7pm @ Real Raw Live.

I hope everyone is ok with the fires.  I happen to live at Carbon Beach and got evacuated. In a word, it sucks, and we are still not able to go back to our homes.

I will try to come up with some cleanse food as well, but it might be tough for me under the circumstances ... but I will try.  We always have juices here @ the bar regardless, and it will be great to see everyone.

See you tonight!!!!
All the Best in Health!

We are gearing up over here on the West Coast for our group orientation @ Real Raw Live in Hollywood:
Wednesday, October 4th, 7pm
Hosted by Real Raw Live
5913 W Franklin Ave in Hollywood.
We have close to 30 people doing our first annual group cleanse in person and I hope many of you will join us virtually around the world.
Doctor Robert Abatiello is here from NYC where our east coasters have had some amazing results and have sent us incredible feedback from their group cleanse they just completed.

As an example, here is a comment from Jan, written as she was in the middle of it.
Greg:
This process is life changing. The clarity is amazing. Colors look more intense, I can see shadows and dappling light I would have ignored before. There is a definite "high" created by the power trip you're on because you feel in control and not guilty about what you're eating. Energy is great. No change needed in routine or headache, but I was all yoga and decaf to start. Shocked at how I have no cravings except for fruit.
It was an emotional roller coaster day 2-4 - giddy and then so pissed off I was screaming. Literally.
Glad I'm through them, but looking forward to the next phase already. I turned 47 years old during this cleanse. What a gift you gave me! Thanks, Greg.....A new journey begins....

Your are so welcome, Jan!!!!!

So, the doc is here in person and  will introduce the cleanse, break it down and answer questions.

Then, we are going to all go over to Real Raw Live's 35' foot bamboo bar and start juicing!  We will learn how to make the "Liver Flush" and the "Master Cleanser", in case our fellow cleansers want to try out the process on there own.

Real Raw Live will sponsor the  cleanse. We gave each client a discount card for the duration of the cleanse.  We will also try to facilitate beyond the juicing and cleansers by offering a "Local Cleanse Friendly Restaurant Guide" as well as get some cleanse friendly food brought straight into our store from various healthy vendors and local switched on eateries.

It should be a great night with a lot of synergy and support, which will help to make this up-coming experience unforgettable. It's going to be great.

Of course, I am doing the 11 day cleanse right along with everyone in the group, so I will periodically post about it to let you know how it's all going.

Have a great week, everybody!!  All the best in health.

A neighbor of ours, Deborah, left a comment on this blog a couple weeks back welcoming us here at Real Raw Live to the neighborhood.  I wrote back to her by posting another comment, but wanted to call it out to highlight this real world local community to this, our virtual community.

Hey Deborah,
Thank you for the welcome. It has been incredible to me to see how many people are so into making that change to health - to holistify their lives.
Of course it's easy for me - I live it - but out of the woodwork I see we have this strong community of not only healthy people, but un-healthy people who are now totally committed and show up everyday simply to get a fresh juice (their first step).
Next, I see them go one step further and their fresh juice evolves into an E-3 shot or even an EFA shot.
They are totally getting addicted to health because they feel so much better and the environment here at RRL is so supportive.
We have a women on the block who is a nurse but has also been a smoker for 50 years. She started with a juice and is now on the health train. She is joining our group cleanse starting on October 4th and is going to attempt to quit smoking forever!
That, to me, is the reason we are there, of course. Real people and real solutions delivered one person @ a time is the coolest thing in the world to me.
Stay in touch!!
All the best in health.

REAL RAW LIVE IS QUICKLY BECOMING THE AUTHORITY OF WELLNESS IN LOS ANGELES!

How? Not easy:
It's been done through 15 years of "over-night success", proper planning, and incredible support from our peers and associates in the industry.

One of our biggest supporters is a company called "New Chapter".
Please check them out - WOW, do they have it going on!  Since 1982 they have been doing it right and I am continually blown away by their innovations in the health industry .

They have been so supportive of Real Raw Live and last Thursday night, Tarini Bauliya, who is their Western Regional Manager, Jennifer Woods, and Brianne, bought my entire staff dinner, and spent the evening teaching us about "Gut Health" and the healing power of Probiotics.

Tarini came all the way from Arizona and is so switched on, eloquent and informative.  It was such a compliment that such a big company is in support of my movement and efforts in the health world - such a huge confirmation to me that when you embrace what you believe in, you will be noticed and angels of support with always be there to guide you in your commitment.

Anyway, we will continue to collaborate together for you and, as part of our collaboration, we will be highlighting articles from Tarini and New Chapter frequently.

Like I preach: this is a shared collaboration - we are all in this together.  One Body, One Life.

If you want a great book on this subject , pick up "The Life Bridge" by Richard Sarnat M.D., Paul Schulick, and Thomas Newmark. It breaks down probiotics and the world of life sustaining nourishment.  Why not turn your body into the thriving ecology of health it was meant to be?

Thank you, ladies from New Chapter, for such an informative night.  My staff is so fired up and inspired by the insight, advice and support.  We already have added our mega probiotic shake to our menu and we know how impressed you were with our own probiotic innovation:

"Kiefer Madness"
This is a drink our lovely Kristan invented:
Made up of organic date water, ginger, raspberry, mango and lemon , blended with our famous Coconut Kiefer.
It is lemonade with punch!
The coconut kiefer is probiotic coconut water that is out of this world!!!

Just another reason for anyone who is ever in Hollywood, to come check us out @ Real Raw Live on Franlin Ave - click here for a map.

SPECIAL OFFER: Mention this blog - One Body, One Life - and have a shot of our Coconut Kiefer on me, OK?

All the best in Health !!!!  Stay tuned for some more video posts coming soon.

One of the cool things about Real Raw Live is that I have been connecting with a lot of great people.  Sometimes, they are people I already know, but have lost touch with but can now re-establish ties.  One such person is my long-time friend, Nathon Fillion, who has an active My Space page and is a blogger himself.  Let me excerpt this post from his blog entry on Saturday - it talks about how we reconnected at RRL:

Then, ...we took a walk in my old 'hood. Folks in LA may know well the stretch of Franklin between Beachwood Terrace and North Bronson (named after Charles North Bronson) for it's nice restaurants and a wee theater. But seeing a new shake shop, I just had to stop in. Not till the cute lady behind the counter asked me what she could get me did I realize that the name of this place was REAL RAW LIVE. Beyond the shake bar were pleasantly arranged shelves of supplements, vitamins and healthy bits. Oops. Shakes are one thing, but health shakes? Quickly, my brain calculated scenarios wherein I could escape this establishment with the lowest body count. PJ was with me, and having played Halo with him, I knew there was no place for him to lie in wait till someone walked by (his favorite, nay, only tactic) and there was no way I could drag his ass out of there should he get wounded. I opted instead to buy a shake, fake pleasure in drinking it, and leave quietly. Everything was going well until I heard someone call my name. Greg Joujon Roche had emerged from the back of the establishment. This was both very good, and very bad. Very good because Greg is a dear old friend with whom I'd lost contact. He even gave me a surfing lesson way back. He's an "up" person. No. Rather, an "uplifting" person. Greg is a trainer to the stars, and without mentioning names, (has anyone seen TROY?) he is sought not only for his knowledge and expertise, but also for his motivation. I like to use the word guru. It was very bad because acting like something tastes good to a stranger is easy. Greg knows me. He'd know if I faked it. We chatted, caught up, I was sweating a bit, and the shake seemed to be ready in record time. I took a sip, and stopped. I looked at it, and took another sip. I looked at PJ. He was sipping, and giving me the same amazed look I was giving him. I looked back to the ingredients listed on the menu to double check for "Contains Crack". It was so good, I swore off Jamba Juice that very moment. Even PJ's 1 and a ½ year old daughter couldn't get enough.
Greg then agreed to train me for the upcoming Desperate Housewives job I'm so excited about.
After kicking my heart rate all over the gym today, I asked if he'd mind if I mentioned his new place on my Myspace page, he said, "You tell folks to say, "Nathan Fillion sent me", and I'll give them a free shot of Coconut Kefir." I only ask that when you say Nathan sent you, add in there how I saved your life, found your dog, or set your broken arm. You know the drill. Those that don't, read the earlier blogs. Remember: short and sweet keeps it funny. Might I recommend the Protein Power? If you don't like it, I'll eat my blog.

Thank you all so much what a great day it turned out to be.
Real Raw Live is my latest creation - a boutique synergy of organic juices and healthy products like:
- Our "Liquid Lunch Box" or "Forever Green".
- Our one of a kind and first of its kind raw shakes like "Rawkstar" or "The Chocolate Alchemist" - so good it's evil !!
- We have wellness shots like "E3 live" or "Blood Builder".
- We also have Cleansers like "The Original Master Cleanser" or my world famous "Fat Burning Lemonade"!
- We even have, for the people who are a bit new to this concept, some basic yummy things likes a tart green tea or plain frozen Yogurt and a selection of Simply Smoothies.
- We also carry an wide selection of the finest niche brands of supplements, vitamins, skin care, beauty. Brands like New chapter, Blue Bonnette, Evan and Healy, and my own line: Holistify.
- And, we even have Raw cuisine "to go" from the extraordinary "Leaf Cuisine". Finally a quick grab salad or wrap that is healthy, tasty, and fast.

I want to thank everyone who came out to support the opening.

Thank you Rod @ Leaf Cuisine for being so supportive and I look forward to all our exciting cross promotional potential.

My parent company, Holistic Fitness, is in the midst training the leading man during season two of the hit series on Showtime, "Dexter".
Thank you, Micheal Hall, for coming out and having a raw shake and always being there for me. You're truly a great friend and you look fantastic!

To everyone else who came out for our grand opening - from as far as Australia, to just around the corner - it was a magical day and a new beginning ... All the best in Health
