Many thanks to Karen Ranzi, author of the book Creating Healthy Children, for hosting us at her home in October for our 4-hour raw food class "Great News about Raw Food Nutrition".
In the class, we reviewed several scientific studies of long term raw food populations. We also covered several thorough and enlightening nutrient analyses from different popular raw food approaches, and a discussed the potential pros and cons of each. It was really revealing to break things down and see what nutrients are found on each of the raw food plans.
As always, we enjoyed connecting with raw food enthusiasts, sharing information, and answering questions. If you or your group would like to host us for an event in your area, please get in touch with us through the "contact us" page on this website.

Hippocrates Health Institute Presentation
We had dinner and gave a presentation to students at Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, one of the nights we were in south Florida. The dinner spread was beautiful:
And the food was delicious! I loved the salad and dressing, greens, and the variety of prepared raw plant dishes. Our presentation was enjoyable and many attendees stayed after the presentation and talked to us about various raw food topics. We always appreciate connecting with raw food enthusiasts! Here is Dr. Rick Dina, D.C. presenting at Hippocrates in Wigmore Hall, named after the late raw food educator Ann Wigmore:
We will be presenting in Connecticut and New Jersey in October! Please see our events page for venue details.

Ultra Wellness Conference in Florida
In late June, Rick and I spoke at the Ultra Wellness conference at the Regency Health Resort and Spa in Hallandale Beach, Florida. I know this was two months ago, but hey, better late than never! The conference was great, it is always fun presenting to and spending time with like-minded people interested in health. In addition to the conference, we also did an evening talk at Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach and visited an exceptional raw food restaurant in Miami.
I’ll cover our experience at Hippocrates and the raw restaurant in upcoming posts, so stay tuned! Today, let’s talk about the Regency and Ultra Wellness Conference. The Regency Health Resort and Spa is located right ON THE BEACH and would be an incredible winter vacation destination. Here is a view of the ocean from the back deck:
The beach setting of the Regency is one of the most attractive features of the resort, along with the pool and the fabulous food! The fare at the Regency is a combination of both cooked and raw plant based dishes. Rick and I like to eat relatively simply, so the generous salad bar at lunch was totally up our alley. Here is the lunch salad bar:
Breakfast was fresh fruit with non-fruit options and dinner was usually a delicious cooked meal with a raw option. At the conference, Rick and I presented on "New Science of Raw Food Nutrition" to enthusiastic conference attendees and spent time answering their thoughtful questions. One of my favorite aspects of teaching is the question and answer session, which gives us a chance to help our students have a better understanding of nutrition and how the body works!
Here is a picture of the Regency:
And the beautiful beach behind it:
