Online Resources

Below, you will find links to BLOGS, DIRECTORIES, FORUMS, RECIPES, and other RESOURCES to help you on your personal wellness journey. I have been careful to screen (and not include) sites which are more promotion than information, and also sites that have sexual or other contact. Please do look at your own risk, however, because I am not operating or officially endorsing any of the listed sites!

The blogs and websites below are in no particular order. Please do contact me if you have a great resource to add to the list.

I do want to note that if you have a website that is self-promoting but does not have a great amount of information on it, I would love to see it but will not be able to feature it on this list. Thank you!

FORUMS

• Raw Food Talk This site is run by Alissa Cohen and is based on her ideas about raw food; basically, as long as it’s raw, it’s fair game to talk about. But no discussing “old” dieting ideas like counting carbs, fat, calories, or anything else. This site is pretty active.

• Living-Foods This forum has been around for FOREVER and has quite a lot of information up.
