For the past couple weeks, I’ve been challenging myself to eat more raw vegetables. I wanted to see if there was an impact on my digestion and my energy levels. There has been.
In today’s episode I’m going to talk about the pros & cons of raw vegetables, which ones you should eat raw and which ones are best prepared cooked (from a nutritional standpoint).
I’m going to share the changes I’ve made recently, specifically how I’m incorporating raw vegetables and what benefits I’ve noticed.
I hope you enjoy the episode!

In October 2019, our relationship with Thrive Market changed. They decided to put their marketing dollars in avenues outside of podcasting but we still think they’re a good choice if you’re looking to save money on health & personal care products.
Loved this episode! Learned a lot of things I didn’t know.
Is there a chance you can post the lists of what veggies are better raw or cooked that you presented in the episode? Seems like this would be a very helpful guide to have.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Cooked versus raw totally depends on what you’re looking at. The list would vary based on if you were evaluating micronutrients, anti-nutrients, etc. So while I agree that a list would be useful, I think MOST things can’t be categorized in such a black & white way. If you’re referring specifically to this episode & anti-nutrients, I agree that could be helpful. But I’ll be TOTALLY honest because I never want to promise something I can’t deliver: it won’t be on my priority list for a while. I say that with ZERO disrespect for the request, but in light of my priorities of: delivering new, valuable podcasts + serving my clients + writing my book + living my life fully, I will put it on the list but I can’t say it will happen anytime in the near future.
