In this episode of Rapid Regeneration, Dave sits down with Ellen Livingston to unpack what it really takes to transition into a raw vegan, high-fruit lifestyle over decades—without rigidity, guilt, or chasing perfection. Ellen shares her personal healing arc (injury, digestion struggles, mindset shifts), how she discovered natural hygiene and fruit-based eating, and why a clean diet can “reveal everything” emotionally.

They go deeper than food: how digestion and emotional reactivity drain energy, the difference between “power vs force” living, why people bond through complaint, and how to stay grounded when your choices (raw foods, personal growth, lifestyle design) don’t match the norms around you. Ellen also opens up about navigating relationships, parenting across two households, nervous system regulation for highly sensitive people, and building a “river-person” life with flexibility, values, and self-trust.
