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.

In this Rapid Regeneration episode, Dave Esamia sits down with breathwork coach and fitness educator Brian Mirabella to unpack a question most people never ask: what if you’ve been breathing incorrectly for years—even if your nutrition is dialed in?

Brian shares his personal journey as a lifelong athlete and wrestler, how chronic stress and overtraining shaped his baseline breathing, and why he believes nervous system regulation can be the missing link for sleep, recovery, and sustainable performance. They also dig into nasal vs mouth breathing during workouts, CO2 tolerance, HRV, and why “one-size-fits-all” breathwork protocols don’t work the same for everyone.

The conversation explores seed germination, plant-based nutrition, raw food lifestyle principles, and how freshness plays a role in everyday wellness.

In this episode of Rapid Regeneration, I sit down with Scott Burnhard for a real conversation about discipline, health transformation, and how to rebuild your life when you’ve been knocked down. Scott shares what it was like growing up in the Bronx surrounded by processed food and fast food, how he started connecting the dots between inflammation and what he was eating, and why his journey wasn’t “cold turkey”—it was progression, built step by step.

We also get into the emotional side: trying to help loved ones who aren’t receptive, navigating grief, and learning how to keep your heart open without forcing your path on anyone. Scott talks about the mindset shift that helped him stop making excuses, build self-discipline, and stay consistent—plus how he uses breaks (including social media breaks) to stay grounded and purposeful.

This conversation is for anyone searching for fitness motivation, personal growth, healthier habits, or a plant-based lifestyle approach rooted in real life experience. Nothing here is medical advice—this episode is about perspective, education, and taking ownership of your choices. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes related to fasting, detox protocols, or your diet—especially if you have any medical conditions.
