peace infinite waters diving deep once
again we have a very special guest a
dear friend of mine someone who is
changing the world in the most
incredible way I don’t know where you’ve
been
if you don’t know who she is fully raw
Cristina fully raw is the creation of
Cristina Carillo Buca Ram a pioneer in
the local organic food cooperative
movement the founder of the largest raw
organic produce cooperative in the u.s.
she has been a hundred percent raw for
almost seven years an exemplification of
all that she wishes to create she is a
leading visionary
in the raw movement especially in
Houston Texas we’re not gonna waste time
we have a lot to talk about
thank you Thank You Ralph I just want to
say that I’m so excited to be here today
I absolutely love you I adore you thank
you for doing what you do and for
spreading a beautiful message and I do
want to say that it’s been over nine
years that I’ve been fully raw so not
seven it’s it’s been such an amazing
journey I don’t even know where to begin
like there’s more than we can possibly
cover in this interview but it’s
wonderful you are inspiring I love
seeing how you are helping people eat
better live better feel better about
themselves most of all love themselves a
hundred percent where did it where did
it all start for you thank you for that
compliment it started for me um I would
say maybe about 12 years ago when I was
16 I was diagnosed with hyperglycemia
and I was very sick very sick meaning
that I was extremely emaciated
underweight I was 87 pounds and five
seven and
I mean most people walk around on a
day-to-day basis having these types of
symptoms and not realizing that they’re
even sick at all but they were
overwhelming for my body everything from
having a migrating being um depleted of
everything not being able to sleep
frequent vomiting and dehydration I’d be
hospitalized every few weeks to get IVs
and to get insulin injections and
basically I was being weaned onto
insulin at the time because I was just
having been diagnosed with hyperglycemia
which is the type is the onset of type 2
diabetes and my body seemed to have been
rejecting all of it and through through
a stranger in a grocery store and a
blessing of God he began to talk to me
about eating a raw foods lifestyle
eating a raw foods diet and you know the
first time somebody walks up to you and
tells you about this your first initial
reaction to them what is this you don’t
cook your food you only eat fruits and
vegetables what that’s crazy
and I remember meeting him and I just I
remember being open and I remember going
home that I’m telling my family about it
and that I’d met a rabbit man that I
wasn’t quite sure what it just happened
but that I wasn’t treating and I’ve
never gotten out of the hospital and
gone back in the next day and that’s
exactly what had happened at that time
and you know I always say if you’ve ever
hit rock bottom you only have to hit it
a few times before there’s some type of
a change that happens in your life and
that was one of the lowest points for me
and I remember calling them up as soon
as I got out of the hospital a few days
later and I said look I’ve never tried
anything alternative before but I’d
really be interested to hear what you
have to say and he met me at Whole Foods
every day that week just telling me
about what my body was doing why food
was important
why not eating processed packaged foods
can really help turn my body around and
at the time I was eating nothing but
sugar-free this diabetic solution this
and anything the doctors were telling me
to do which was food in
package and it was just awful for me I
went raw in one night and never went
back and I started by eating nothing but
peaches for two weeks straight and it’s
amazing that even after three days of
just eating peaches I was seeing my
blood sugar level stabilized I was
feeling more energy it was sleeping
better my weight wasn’t like totally
making myself wither away and it was an
amazing amazing experience to have that
type of new breath of fresh air kind of
just in your body well since you’ve been
doing it for over nine years a lot of
people may want to embark on this
journey but they’ve got friends and
family telling them where are you gonna
get your protein yeah but what do you
say to these kinds of people who may be
a bit skeptical that they’re not getting
the right nutrients you know where do I
get my protein seems to be the most
frequently asked question that I get on
this lifestyle I notice that I say
lifestyle and not diet because it is a
lifestyle and it’s not just a diet
there’s more than one component that’s
involved here whether that be exercise
sleep
sunshine hugging loving the emotional
components people ask me all the time of
feeding fully raw is extreme and my
typical response is that I think that
eating McDonald’s and processed foods
and pizzas and hamburgers all day long I
think that that’s extreme never take
another life to feed your own I think
that this is absolutely the kindest way
to live not just not just for the planet
but for the animals and the environment
and also for yourself which is something
that’s overlooked quite a bit you can
absolutely get the protein that you need
and living this lifestyle there’s
actually more protein in two pounds of
leafy greens and there isn’t a whole
filet of steak for many reasons number
one the animal-based meat
only 40% of that is going to be absorbed
into your bloodstream too whereas if
you’re eating greens 99.9% of that
plant-based protein is going to be
circulated throughout your system and
absorbed literally just breathing life
into every cell of your being and not
only that but it really helps with
digestion and elimination because
there’s fiber in it or there’s no fiber
in meat and I mean I can’t even begin to
tell you the benefits of a plant-based
lifestyle plant-based diet but it’s it’s
truly powerful can you get enough
protein absolutely I mean just just with
me I know this because I’m a numbers
person I used to be a calculus and a
science tutor and all this and so when I
first went raw I would literally plug in
all of the numbers because I wanted to
see what I was getting I wanted to see
what was going in I wanted to see what
was going out even to this day I’m
getting about 62 grams of protein in my
diet every day and that’s just from
eating fruit and vegetables because I
don’t eat fat every day I mean I do
sometimes but for the most part I’m
getting about 62 grams of protein in my
diet every day one but it’s amazing and
just to kind of give people a comparison
a fillet of chicken only has about 25
grams of fat and most people are eating
like one of those a day sometimes – I’m
still getting in just as much protein as
I need from the average meat-eater and
another thing to note is that we really
don’t need as much protein as people
think we need if you’ve ever been
familiar with the book 80/10/10 it only
recommends 10 percent of your daily
caloric intake that needs to come from
protein well guess what you can get that
from fruits and vegetables because any
excess is only going to be eliminated
from your body so there’s a lot to be
said about protein about how much you
need the myths that are around it how
plants are better for you for protein
sources I always tell people not to be
scared you know you know in my family
it’s funny when we sit around and
there’s kids eating pizza or whatever
you know it’s funny when people like oh
you have to eat this you know and you
got to make sure you get everything that
you need but I don’t understand how the
most highly nutrient dense diet on the
planet is one that consists of primarily
fruits and vegetables and if people
aren’t doing that
then they’re really not getting
everything that they need and they’re
not going to get it from eating fast
food or junk food they’re gonna get it
from eating nutritionally dense foods
and the most powerful foods on the
planet which are fruits and vegetables
in their natural States 100% fresh ripe
organic raw that’s it it’s the way to go
well I love watching your YouTube videos
and you have so much information there
it is like a grand library people yeah
less than that it kind of is yeah and
what I love is that you always bring
positivity and some people may be asking
is this you and I know you and this is
you 100% and you’re Pisces like me we
are givers we give out and how has your
confidence levels grown by just eating a
healthier diet and also changing your
mindset the way you think about life
altogether thank you for those beautiful
compliments and yes you and me we are
Pisces we’re sensitive we’re spiritual
beings were givers we get joy out of
helping others and that’s definitely
something that fuels my fire every
single day is being able to help people
and oh my gosh the confidence question
really I just I can’t even tell you that
when I was 16 if you would have asked me
if I had confidence I would have just
said no because I could barely walk I
was emaciated I felt like I had no
support in my life even though I did the
real issue was that I didn’t have
self-love I didn’t support myself and my
endeavors and what I was doing and a
huge reason for that was that I didn’t
have health in my life I didn’t look the
part I didn’t feel the part I couldn’t
even get out of bed I almost didn’t
graduate high school because I had so
many sick days
how can you feel confident when you’re
not healthy and happy in your skin so
when I went full Iran I started to feel
good
you know the foods that I was eating
we’re literally changing me from the
inside out
it changed not only the way that I acted
in front of people and the way that I
had energy or how I was just able to
accomplish more but all of that played
in role with me having confidence and
the way that I felt about myself being
able to have composure in front of
people being able to have something to
be excited about to share with them and
then it became something totally
different right and so then my
confidence over the years has developed
into something from being a girl to
being a woman and that’s one aspect but
then there’s also being unhealthy to
being healthy to not really confident my
body to being 100% like loved being in
my skin no matter what I look like and
it’s it’s also kind of developed into
the spiritual component right because
then you become stronger in your faith
no matter what that may be and my gosh I
just think all around it just feeds your
confidence and that’s something that I
love to plug not just to everybody but
to women two girls two young girls who
are trying to feel like they’re okay in
their body because everybody knows that
having self-confidence is a huge issue
today especially when it comes to body
image or body shaming anything like that
it’s just so important and I really feel
like food can fuel that type of
confidence or it can at least foster it
and help you feel good about yourself
and your choices well I know that you
love your body and it’s wonderful just
to see that you embrace yourself a
hundred percent a lot of people might be
saying have you looked at the prices
lately how is it sustainable for you and
how can it be sustainable for other
people for the long-term for those who
want to reference this I made a video
called how to afford eating fully raw
and I basically go through like my top
twelve things that I’ve done over the
pass
years to help me to be able to for this
lifestyle and before I say anything else
I just want to say that where there’s a
will there’s a way anything’s possible
I ate fully raw from when I was I
started when I was 18 when I was right
before I was about to go to college when
I was in high school and then I went I
made it through college eating raw and
an a by foot dorm room on like $80 a
week and no kids like I would wash my
vegetables in the girls bathroom in my
college dorm ok want to talk about
dedication I’ve been there I paid my
dues ok but it like they’re always ways
door possible I did make a video about
how I wrong college I’d store my food
under my bed I buy things in case in
bulk discounts I would always make sure
to go to my farmers markets make
relationships with your farmers you know
working work in exchange for food and go
to donation banks grow your own food I
mean there are some really amazing
people out there like John Kohler who
have channels that are teaching people
how to grow their own food people may
not believe that money grows on trees
but heck fruit grows on trees and it’s
kind of like the same thing and I in
regards to how expensive the lifestyle
is I really do believe that can be as
expensive or as inexpensive as you make
it to be because everybody knows that
they’re going to be things like berries
and other things that you can spend a
pretty penny on and then there’s also
bargain shopping that you can do where
you can get fruit buy discount and do
that as well you just have to know where
to get your produce how to be smart
about it and start buying in bulk and it
really does help so you know what to be
what a well for it can you put a price
on your health as the other real thing
something else that I want to say is
that my medical bills used to be
anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 a year
and now there’s zero there’s zero and
there’s no amount that I can put on my
health there’s me spending an extra few
amount of dollars to get something
that’s you know
expensive a few extra dollars more is is
going to be okay because I know in the
long haul I’m going to be saving money
and everything else and that is
partially what allowed me to start my
co-op and but you just asked me what
what questions did you just ask what did
you eat today what did I eat today okay
well let’s see I woke up this morning
and I had every morning I wake up and I
have 32 ounces of water sometimes I’ll
put fruit in it because it makes it
taste so much more delicious so I’ll
have like a fruit infused water so I had
32 ounces of water and then I had 32
ounces of watermelon juice which I love
and sometimes I’ll soak mint in it
overnight so that it tastes super fresh
in the morning and that’s it it’s only
noon here so I’ll probably have lunch in
a bit and usually for lunch I have a
giant platter of fruit whatever that may
be I have some really ripe mangoes right
now and some strawberries that I’ll
probably be having today and for dinner
usually it’s a small pot or fruit
followed by a giant salad so I’ll
probably have some peaches or nectarines
and then I will have a beautiful rainbow
salad and I always tell people to eat
the rainbow because that’s where you get
your color and your life and your
vibrancy and it makes you feel good
right and you’ve accomplished so much so
fast does it ever get overwhelming for
you because you’re a YouTube superstar
not only that you’ve changed so many
people’s lives how do you deal with a
Fame aspect of it how do you stay
grounded I want to say thank you but
it’s it’s kind of funny you never see
yourself and not light like I don’t even
feel like I’ve accomplished a quarter of
what I want to accomplish yet and I feel
like I’m just now starting and it’s been
nine years you know people always say oh
you’ve achieved this so fast but I mean
for every single day for the past nine
years I’ve been living this lifestyle
I’ve been giving my heart back to people
I’ve been running the coop that I run
I’ve been doing that for seven years now
and I am interactive with all the
farmers in this community and oh man
I just love helping people I really do
otherwise I think you know I would get
bored and it would be you know oh I’ve
made one video it did good enough and
just let it go but no this is my life
this is a part of my lifestyle living
this way living as an inspiration it’s
just what I do what keeps me grounded I
would say is being at the coop being
around the people helping them getting
to talk with them getting getting them
recipes getting them fresh food it’s
being able to interact with these people
face to face every single day and I love
love spending time with my family and my
friends I love going to farms I love
hugging trees I love reading anything
that brings me joy and anything that
brings me joy that lets me follow my
heart makes me feel good and it kind of
just like fuels fills the tank you know
all right right well I definitely see
that this is a time for co-creation
imagine what would happen if we all got
together and started co-creating
together once we can move beyond our
petty disputes we can all do so much and
and that’s why I love what you’re doing
is similar to what I’m doing just in a
different way and what’s the most
important thing you’ve learned along
this journey in a nutshell most
important thing that I have learned in
this journey in a nutshell live as an
example and I say that because not
everybody is going to be on the same
page not everybody’s going to see it the
same way but there are certain languages
that people see and that they speak that
you can reach them with and maybe
perhaps it’s just something as simple as
being healthy and happy and truly
emanating that light allowing them to
see that because everybody wants that
everybody wants happiness they may not
understand how you got there what’s
involved
but you just being there to help them by
living as an example not pushing them
not pulling them but just loving them
and loving them unconditionally is so
unbelievably powerful I mean I love both
that if you don’t take care of your body
where will you live right and if we want
to change the world we have to first
start with ourselves couldn’t have said
it better well you’re doing phenomenal
work I’m just glad that we connect and
that also you share yourself so freely
20 years ago we had to – but definitely
check out Christina at fully raw calm go
into YouTube type in fully raw and be
blown away I want to thank you so much

schedule we’ve all got things to do but
at the same time this is a treat thank

doing for enlightening people and
bringing love into this world we need
more people like you and send the hook

definitely feel the more we can all
become more authentic the more we can

put a smile on your face we are here
infinite waters diving deep once again stay well stay healthy peace

then you become stronger in your faith
no matter what that may be and my gosh I
just think all around it just feeds your

love to plug not just to everybody but
to women two girls two young girls who

having self-confidence is a huge issue
today especially when it comes to body

it’s just so important and I really feel

dedication I’ve been there I paid my
dues ok but it like they’re always ways
door possible I did make a video about
how I wrong college I’d store my food
under my bed I buy things in case in
bulk discounts I would always make sure
to go to my farmers markets make
relationships with your farmers you know
working work in exchange for food and go
to donation banks grow your own food I
mean there are some really amazing
people out there like John Kohler who
have channels that are teaching people
how to grow their own food people may
not believe that money grows on trees
but heck fruit grows on trees and it’s
kind of like the same thing and I in
regards to how expensive the lifestyle
is I really do believe that can be as
expensive or as inexpensive as you make
it to be because everybody knows that
they’re going to be things like berries
and other things that you can spend a
pretty penny on and then there’s also
bargain shopping that you can do where
you can get fruit buy discount and do
that as well you just have to know where
to get your produce how to be smart
about it and start buying in bulk and it
really does help so you know what to be
what a well for it can you put a price
on your health as the other real thing
something else that I want to say is
that my medical bills used to be
anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 a year
and now there’s zero there’s zero and
there’s no amount that I can put on my
health there’s me spending an extra few
amount of dollars to get something
that’s you know
expensive a few extra dollars more is is
going to be okay because I know in the
long haul I’m going to be saving money
and everything else and that is
partially what allowed me to start my
co-op and but you just asked me what
what questions did you just ask what did
you eat today what did I eat today okay
well let’s see I woke up this morning
and I had every morning I wake up and I
have 32 ounces of water sometimes I’ll
put fruit in it because it makes it
taste so much more delicious so I’ll
have like a fruit infused water so I had
32 ounces of water and then I had 32
ounces of watermelon juice which I love
and sometimes I’ll soak mint in it
overnight so that it tastes super fresh
in the morning and that’s it it’s only
noon here so I’ll probably have lunch in
a bit and usually for lunch I have a
giant platter of fruit whatever that may
be I have some really ripe mangoes right
now and some strawberries that I’ll
probably be having today and for dinner
usually it’s a small pot or fruit
followed by a giant salad so I’ll
probably have some peaches or nectarines
and then I will have a beautiful rainbow
salad and I always tell people to eat
the rainbow because that’s where you get
your color and your life and your
vibrancy and it makes you feel good
right and you’ve accomplished so much so
fast does it ever get overwhelming for
you because you’re a YouTube superstar
not only that you’ve changed so many
people’s lives how do you deal with a
Fame aspect of it how do you stay
grounded I want to say thank you but
it’s it’s kind of funny you never see
yourself and not light like I don’t even
feel like I’ve accomplished a quarter of
what I want to accomplish yet and I feel
like I’m just now starting and it’s been
nine years you know people always say oh
you’ve achieved this so fast but I mean
for every single day for the past nine
years I’ve been living this lifestyle
I’ve been giving my heart back to people
I’ve been running the coop that I run
I’ve been doing that for seven years now
and I am interactive with all the
farmers in this community and oh man
I just love helping people I really do
otherwise I think you know I would get
bored and it would be you know oh I’ve
made one video it did good enough and
just let it go but no this is my life
this is a part of my lifestyle living
this way living as an inspiration it’s
just what I do what keeps me grounded I
would say is being at the coop being
around the people helping them getting
to talk with them getting getting them
recipes getting them fresh food it’s
being able to interact with these people
face to face every single day and I love
love spending time with my family and my
friends I love going to farms I love
hugging trees I love reading anything
that brings me joy and anything that
brings me joy that lets me follow my
heart makes me feel good and it kind of
just like fuels fills the tank you know
all right right well I definitely see
that this is a time for co-creation
imagine what would happen if we all got
together and started co-creating
together once we can move beyond our
petty disputes we can all do so much and
and that’s why I love what you’re doing
is similar to what I’m doing just in a
different way and what’s the most
important thing you’ve learned along
this journey in a nutshell most
important thing that I have learned in
this journey in a nutshell live as an
example and I say that because not
everybody is going to be on the same
page not everybody’s going to see it the
same way but there are certain languages
that people see and that they speak that
you can reach them with and maybe
perhaps it’s just something as simple as
being healthy and happy and truly
emanating that light allowing them to
see that because everybody wants that
everybody wants happiness they may not
understand how you got there what’s
involved
but you just being there to help them by
living as an example not pushing them
not pulling them but just loving them
and loving them unconditionally is so
unbelievably powerful I mean I love both
that if you don’t take care of your body
where will you live right and if we want
to change the world we have to first
start with ourselves couldn’t have said
it better well you’re doing phenomenal
work I’m just glad that we connect and
that also you share yourself so freely
