A favorite phrase that I love is Health is Wealth something I state quite regularly. Sometimes when the conversation starts to get organic people start to check out. Alkaline water, Vegan food, juicing that’s not Hip Hop or is it? Rappers and liquor companies have partnered for decades Sprite and Taco Bell have used Hip Hop in campaigns also. Times are changing, some artists are promoting exercise and nutrition rather than beers & popping pills. I had the pleasure of speaking with John Lewis better known as BadAss Vegan about Nutrition and business. We also discuss his new partnership with Styles P of the Lox regarding his Vegan Smart product. John is not your typical Vegan so this is not your typical interview. He provides tips on how you can transition into the Vegan lifestyle. Before you ask trust me John knows your struggle he is not some hippie that grew up on nuts and berries. Rather someone who grew up in Ferguson/St. Louis an area known for their Beer & BBQ. He is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi so he knows about college campus eating habits as well. We cover it all and he also provides encouragement about taking that entrepreneurial leap. So now get ready to learn what it takes to be a BadAss Vegan!

FullyRawKristina: “Eating Healthy During the Holidays” [Video]
The Holidays are upon us and a big component of most holidays is the feasting that takes place. Big meals second plates, leftovers that get snacked on throughout the day. With Black Friday going into Christmas a lot of shopping will take place people purchasing high end items. The fact is your health is something that is priceless and should be taken very serious. FullyRawKristina is a vegan who promotes health, fitness, and eating real foods. I enjoy her videos and social media where she gives healthy alternatives. Now I am not expecting everyone to turn full vegan for the holidays but you can take some tips to help you eat better. The fact is in the U.S. there are many more unhealthy choices than healthy ones. So Kristina is challenging you to just eat one fully raw meal a day. Worth giving a try recently I started juicing and eating one raw meal a day. I can feel the difference so watch her fun video and hopefully it helps inspire you to make some healthy choices this Hoilday season. Visit her site FullyRaw.com for more tips, recipes, and details!
