66 & Running Marathons on a Raw Food Diet?! 16 Years of 100% Raw Living with Axay Shah

What happens when you eat 100% raw, plant-based food for 16 years?

In this episode of Ignite Your Power: The Kathy Mou Podcast, I’m joined by Axay Shah, a raw food educator, author, marathon runner, and health transformation coach who has spent more than 16 years committed to a 100% raw, plant-based lifestyle.

At 66, Axay continues to run marathons and teaches people around the world about raw food, plant-based nutrition, energy, longevity, mindset, and natural health through his work at RawFoodiest.com.

Axay shares the story behind his transformation, what he discovered after transitioning to raw food, the mindset shifts that helped him stay committed for more than a decade, and what he believes people often misunderstand about healthy living.
