Why Raw Vegan Alone Isn’t Enough (Doctor Explains Real Healing)

John Kohler from http://www.okraw.com, a raw food educator and advocate with 30 years of personal experience, sits down with Dr. Tim Trader—a naturopathic doctor with a PhD in clinical nutrition and 35 years of fully raw vegan living—to unpack one of the most pressing yet overlooked questions in the raw food world: Why don’t some people heal on a raw vegan diet?

In this eye-opening and thought-provoking episode, Dr. Tim exposes the common misconceptions that surround raw veganism as a cure-all. From unhealed chronic illness to genetic and epigenetic roadblocks, he dives deep into the real reasons many long-term raw vegans still suffer with fatigue, inflammation, and unresolved health issues—despite eating “perfectly.” John challenges Dr. Tim with practical insights and questions that many in the community have silently wondered, sparking a rich discussion that balances science, lived experience, and common sense.

Dr. Tim reveals why healing doesn’t always happen through diet alone—and how hidden factors like generational nutrient deficiencies, toxic exposures, improper food combining, and even shower water chemicals could be sabotaging your results. He shares case studies of patients who didn’t get better… and explains how they finally made progress by testing, tweaking, and taking a holistic approach that goes far beyond food.

You’ll also hear why one raw diet doesn’t fit all, how fat and fruit ratios can impact healing, and the truth behind enzyme production, nutrient absorption, and digestive stress. If you’re stuck in your healing journey—or questioning whether you’re “doing raw right”—this conversation will give you the clarity, tools, and hope to move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re a veteran raw foodist, a curious beginner, or someone who hasn’t gotten the results you were promised, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip. Watch now, share it with your community, and don’t forget to subscribe for more deep dives into the real raw vegan experience.
