Let Food be thy Medicine

Natasha Kyssa is the author of The SimplyRaw Living Foods Detox Manual as well as the founder of SimplyRaw. She is a former International fashion model who graced the pages of many magazines and fashion campaigns including Le Chateau, Flare Magazine and Elle, to name a few. Natasha has been living a raw vegan lifestyle for 20 years and facilitating life-changing food-based cleansing/detoxification programs since 1990.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks

video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED
Let Food be thy Medicine Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Takes a lot of guts to speak from your heart, to share your own story, and a personal one at that, only, ONLY, for one reason - to help others. I know Natasha first hand, and she is the real deal - she walks-the-walk she talks, period. Her desire to help others to restore their health is unique and refreshing. I love you, Nat. You nailed this talk like a real raw star! <3 xxx

Thank you for having the courage to share your story! This video moved me to tears. I am blessed to have you as both a friend and a mentor. You are living proof that living foods save lives. Let's get the message out there :-)
Raw food is real food for real people.

Over the years I have taken many of Natasha's classes, and have learned so much! She lives the raw life and looks much younger than her age. I've read her books and they helped me transition to a cleaner and healthier diet during a rough period in my life. Thank you, Natasha!!

Raw foods, JUICING in particular with some herbs CURED my 10+ years of chronic deep depression which spiralled into serious alcoholism. Within three months i was feeling better, about 1 year i felt completely cured, during which my digestion improved significantly, i no longer need my ears syringed every 6 months, the stretch marks on my back gone. I now run marathon and do triathlon and am studying naturopathy.

[organicsuperman]

Hey Joseph. THANKS ALOT ! I live my life is a total state of gratitude because of what happened to me. I am so grateful to truly feel like I have been saved. I look around the world though and it troubles me, it is a very dark place, the human race has a very low level of conscious operation of which I know about more than most. I try to tell people, inspire if poss with my every waking breath, THERE IS A BETTER WAY. We deserve better, if you feel not right, you usually are seeking a healing.

[organicsuperman]

Patience indeed is a virtue. Great to talk to you Joseph !!

[missmaya]

It's also refreshing to come across a video which attracts mostly positive comments, that's rare!

[chrisbrown]

Great job Natasha! your authenticity shines through. We need more people like you in the health and raw food movement. Way to go!

[francinetolf]

I'm not even half way through and I just have to say how much I admire this woman's honesty! A beautiful person inside and out. Thank you! And now I'll continue to

Looking GREAT for 50! Keep spreading the message of health.

[ChristopherTims]

Great!
Truth spoken from the heart...it will help many. Blessings of success in spreading your message.

[josephwinter]

Hell yes brother. People can only learn things as fast as they learn things, we all want everyone to be happy starting today, but its gonna take time. Keep your patience man, and you'll carry your message for all of your days.

[josephwinter]

Good shit homie. I had a similar thing with narcotics rather than alcohol. Keep on spreading the good word. There's a lot of people stuck in that place that we were at. Life remains a struggle, but its really good to have your physiology on your team.

[jdstep]

Hard to believe she is age 50.  Very encouraging.
