Benefits of a Raw Food Diet: Improving Energy, Clarity, Liver Function and Quality of Life
Episode 165
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
We sit down with Axay Shah, a longtime 100% plant-based raw foodist who has tracked more than 21 years of medical data while building a life that looks the way many of us say we want to feel: energized, clear-minded, and free from daily medications. We get specific about what “raw food” actually means in real life, how he built his routine without following a single guru, and why he believes you should make your own rules and evolve them over time. Axay shares how he adapted socially and physically, how he thinks about cravings and willpower, and how a spontaneous New Year’s challenge turned into multiple marathons and big outdoor goals, including backpacking at elevation with his sons. Then we dive into the numbers and the lessons: ALT liver enzymes improving, cholesterol and triglycerides as feedback signals, and a candid story where he asked his doctor for 90 days to improve his A1C instead of a prescription, and brought the marker down by changing one particular habit. We also talk about testing for inflammation, nutrient absorption, gum health, and his “five poisons” framework, plus how raw, whole-food, plant-based eating can be simpler and cheaper than people assume. Axay also introduces his book, In Nature We Trust: A Raw Food Manifesto for Energy, Healing, and Longevity, and where to find him online.
