Meet Our Founder - Lara Karakasevic

---

As a mother of 4,  I've been a  'health detective' for many years - navigating our food + lifestyle and trying to learn the connection between the choices we make and the results we get on this amazing journey.  Kids bring lots of practice! 

However, my interest in the role of nutrition took a massive leap in 2017 when I discovered a tattered old book: The UnCook Book (1972). 

Enzymes? Proteins are destroyed by cooking?!? 

I spent the following year cooking non-stop to become a  Certified Advanced Level Living Food chef. 

As I learned this new way of eating, my springtime allergies 'magically' disappeared. My skin began glowing, and I needed less sleep!  

Along the way, I studied regenerative, veganic (no animal-based fertilizer) farming and dove deep into the role of glysophate, wheat and dairy in our planetary woes, both physical AND mental. 

I spent the next 2 years becoming a Functional Nutrition Wellness Coach to begin helping others, but there was a nagging incompleteness:  

I still wanted to know what ultimately CAUSES illness. 

I continued researching for yet another year, which took me to a certification in Live Blood Analysis & Oxidative Stress (where I can see blood cells in real-time) as well as personal studies in enzyme therapy and nutritional biochemistry. 

I continued reading. What continued to be a common theme was living foods. 

Detoxing/cleansing...the body healing...  

Wherever and whenever in history that I could find a reference, whether it was a religious reference to fasting, a 1920's doctor in S. Africa or a modern European wellness center, they all agreed: it is eating our natural food, consumed in its raw state (just as every other animal does), that allows the body the energy, time and building blocks to heal itself.   

But to what degree?

Yet another chance encounter occurred with a book in Ft. Bragg, CA: The  Detox Miracle Sourcebook by Robert Morse ND.  Within 20 minutes, the FULL picture of human health clicked into place with utter clarity.

It is with my respect and love that I offer my Advanced level certification in  Regenerative Detoxification and Iridology to you. 

 
I invite you to join the journey with me.
