Lou Corona joins Dave Escamilla for a personal conversation about 53 years of raw vegan living, raw foods, faith, forgiveness, purpose, and personal transformation.

Lou shares his story of early adversity, a difficult health chapter as a young adult, and the spiritual experiences he believes redirected his life. He and Dave discuss prayer, surrender, compassion, gratitude, and the daily choices that can shape a more intentional life.

The conversation also explores Lou’s approach to raw living foods: fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs, green juice, soaked and sprouted nuts and seeds, cultured foods, and plant-based yogurt. He explains why he distinguishes his own practices from simply following a raw vegan diet.

In this episode of Rapid Regeneration, Dave sits down with John Bordonero (raw_alchemy) to explore his 15-year journey with a high-raw, fruit-centered plant-based lifestyle.

John shares how burnout, fatigue, and thyroid concerns led him to search for natural solutions, eventually discovering the raw vegan and fruit-based approach promoted by figures like Durianrider, Freelee, and Dr. Doug Graham. What followed was a dramatic shift toward a diet centered on whole fruits, smoothies, juices, and low-fat plant foods.

The conversation explores practical topics people frequently ask about when researching raw vegan diets and fruit-based nutrition, including calorie intake, raw-till-dinner eating patterns, smoothies vs whole fruit, hydration, and intuitive eating. John also discusses the mindset and spiritual shifts that accompanied his lifestyle change.

Dave and John also talk about community gatherings like Texas Fruit Festival and Vegan Wellness Retreat, where people interested in plant-based living, detoxification discussions, and holistic health come together.
