We have been on tour for a week now and have collected over 10 interviews from some of the most incredible women I have met in my life. Today we add another of those women to the list! It was only after a day of changing schedules, possible cancelled interviews and some video snafus that we were able to clear the path and head out to meet with Jinjee Talifero. She and her husband Storm shot and produced the documentary, Breakthrough. This incredible film is about their family’s experience and changes eating a raw, vegan diet. I was moved by this film the first time I saw it. As a naturopathic physician, there is still much skepticism about women consuming a raw vegan diet during pregnancy in the natural medicine world. My colleagues have also expressed caution about children consuming an all raw and vegan diet. Where will enough calcium come from? Iron? Will these children grow properly? Will they suffer from what is called “failure to thrive”? We were able to discuss this openly with Jinjee and also hear the story of her introduction to raw foods, raw pregnancy, childbirth and more! Jinjee’s presence comes across as deeply grounded, powerful, gentle and very loving. You can find out more about Jinjee and her family at www.thegardendiet.com. Thank you Jinjee!
