Jonny Morelli, better known as Jonny Juicer, joins Dave at the Vegan Wellness Retreat in Northern Michigan for an honest conversation about raw veganism, juicing, grief, emotional eating, personal transformation, and finding his way back after losing momentum.

Jonny shares how growing up in an Italian family in Chicago shaped his early relationship with food. He recounts experiencing digestive problems from childhood, receiving an IBS diagnosis in high school, and eventually reaching a personal turning point in his early 30s.

Inspired to change his habits, Jonny began making green juice, transitioned from vegetarian to vegan, and eventually adopted a predominantly raw-food lifestyle. He discusses the ethical motivation behind becoming vegan, the social pressures involved, and the personal changes he says he experienced along the way.

The conversation also explores the more difficult side of transformation. After losing his mother in 2020, Jonny says cooked vegan food became a coping mechanism and a way of numbing grief. Over time, he felt disconnected from the lifestyle and sense of purpose he had previously built.

Jonny explains what motivated him to start again, why maintaining a raw vegan lifestyle is personally important to him, and how boxing, basketball, and regular movement helped him process grief. He also reflects on completing his first amateur boxing match at age 44.

More than a conversation about food, this episode explores resilience, identity, grief, rebuilding healthy habits, and what it means to come back after losing your way.

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.
