My Los Angeles Raw Vegan Adventure

I went to Los Angeles on acting/producing business last week and I also loved I was able to go check out some of the raw food restaurants near Los Angeles.  I went to three of them:

• Cru Organic Raw Vegan Restaurant
• Juliano's Planet Raw
• Euphoria Loves Rawvolotution

They were all delicious. I tried to taste as much as I could, I got full really quickly so my experience was really limited.  I'm sure they all have SO MANY wonderful dishes I didn't even get to touch.

Here I am with Juliano at Juliano's Planet Raw.

I'm excited because I'm going to be visiting LA a lot more often now so will get to try more soon.  YAY!

I was Featured in Pegasus News: "The State Fair of Texas goes raw (sort of)"

My Story Was featured in the We Like it Raw Blog - "Miranda Before, Miranda After"

Back in May, 2009 I befriended Dhrumil Purohit on Twitter and soon after, he chose for me to be featured in his awesome blog called "We Like It Raw". This blog is a great resource for people seeking to know more about raw foods.  They have a section called "Before and After Photos".  I'm on that page.

Dr. Alejandro Junger's Video: Is Detox Real?

Dr. Alejandro Junger - a cardiologist by trade - talks about detoxing and why is important for optimal health:

Check out Dr. Junger's website http://www.cleanrevolution.tv as well as his brand new book "Clean" available now at bookstores nationwide.

Dr. Alejandro Junger was born in Uruguay. He graduated from medical school there in 1990 and moved to New York City for his postgraduate training. He completed three years of training in Internal Medicine at NYU Downtown Hospital and three more years of fellowship in Cardiovascular Diseases at Lenox Hill Hospital.

His drastic change in lifestyle and diet from his move to New York City soon reflected as irritable bowel syndrome and depression. Becoming a patient of the system he was practicing was such a shock, that it started a journey to search for an alternative solution to his health problems.

His findings are the subject of his first book, Clean. In it, Dr. Junger describes how he became aware of the toxicity of our planet. He also explains how detoxification and cleansing have been around for thousands of years, but knowledge about them has been lost at at time when it is more important than ever before. Most importantly, Clean is a manual for readers to learn how to turn our detoxification systems on full speed while supporting our bodies to maximize their effectiveness.

Dr. Junger now lives in New York City, where he practices at the Eleven Eleven Wellness Center and is also designing an Integrative Medicine Service at Lenox Hill Hospital, for which he was asked to be the Director of Integrative Medicine.
