Aging on Raw Energy: Plant-Based Nutrition, Energy Systems, and Living Medication-Free at 66 | Ep. 371

from The Aging Well Podcast · host Jeff Armstrong

What if aging well is less about fighting decline—and more about restoring the body’s natural energy systems?In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong talks with the founder of RawFoodiest.com, a lifelong experimenter in raw, plant-based living who, at age 66, is medication-free, free of chronic disease, and in marathon-training shape. For over 21 years, he has documented how raw, natural nutrition and energy-centered living can radically reshape health, vitality, and aging.Drawing from medical records, optimal blood work, and real-world outcomes, our guest explains how dysfunction in the body’s energy systems underlies chronic disease—and how reconnecting with nature through nutrition can restore biological and psychological well-being. Grounded in the philosophy “In Nature We Trust: Life is Energy & Energy is Life,” this conversation offers practical insights for anyone seeking a more vibrant, resilient path through aging.Learn more at https://www.RawFoodiest.comPlease, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like’ button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!
