David Wolfe On Future Plans, Sungazing, And Elements For Life
Lenette: So what does the rest of 2009 hold for David Wolfe, personally or professionally?
David: Oh, it’s going to be a big year. It’s going to be a big year. I start out in South Florida on April 6th and I’m going to be on the road…this is after I come back from Peru, so the whole month of March I’ll be in Peru. April 6th I’ll be in South Florida and I’ll come up the entire East Coast of the United States, fly over to Los Angeles, go up the entire West Coast of the United States, come back down again and do a couple of jaunts around…I might even make it to Salt Lake City and possibly even Chicago by the summer?
Lenette: Possibly?
David: Yeah, I know. I’d like to get there sooner but it’s just a busy schedule. But we’re looking at, already, 100 events booked for the whole year, but it could potentially go to like 150 or even 200 events this year. It’s possible.
Lenette: And these events are all in the name of the book, like a book tour or what else are these events going to be about?
David: They’re pretty much about everything. It’s about "Save your town now!" [laughing] When we used to drive around in our bus, we would have these conversations at the end of the event and it was like, "What are we doing here?" We’re in this little town, wherever it was, some place in Kansas and basically we’re having a town hall meeting on how to save yourself and save your town. That’s the fundamental message. That’s pretty much what we’re talking about. What is the technology that’s out there that you can access immediately to save yourself and save your town? Superfoods and raw foods is one of the easiest buttons to push to get there.
Lenette: What percentage of your diet is comprised of superfoods now?
David: It’s probably 75%.
Lenette: Is there a ceiling limit that you would recommend for people?
David: That would be completely absurd for me to try to even guess. I don’t know. This is what I believe that everyone should explore. That is, raw foods, all of them, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, seaweed, sprouts, grasses, herbs and superfoods and, of course, fermented foods…explore all of that in-depth. Do the 60-day juice fast. Do the water fast. Do the things you need to do including eating copious amounts of vegetables on these giant salads. And you’re going, "How come I’m not full? I’m eating massive amounts of vegetables and all this food but I’m still not full." Go through all of that process and start to refine your diet down by volume by increasing the amount of superfoods that are in your diet from, say, one superfood smoothie a day to two and then eventually to three. When I first did that I actually did the three-month liquid blended fast on just cacao drinks and that was totally, totally amazing. That was years ago. I had already been a raw foodist for ten years at that point maybe.
Lenette: That’s awesome. It just puts some new ideas in my head. I always like trying out new things with the diet.
Lenette: Thank you so much, David. This has been awesome. Is there anything else you want to share with us?
David: I just hope that everybody out there is having the best day ever. I wanted to share a little bit about sungazing because this has been in the field now for quite some time, probably eight to ten years in the raw food world. I’ve been doing something up here at my house that I haven’t been able to do. I wasn’t able to really calibrate it very well. I’ve been sungazing outside on the snow barefoot and I have been calibrating what that’s all about and what the effectiveness of it is. It’s pretty darn powerful, I have to say. Sungazing barefoot on the snow at the end of the day. It’s something to do with this idea that if you’re out on wet grass and you’re sungazing, the energy that comes in through your eyes is pulled right through you through the wet of the grass and it goes right back into the Earth. I always wanted to sungaze on a dry surface like stone, and when I sungaze on snow, once I melt into the snow and I’m totally solid on my feet, then there’s a similar effect to being on stone. That’s something I’ve been playing around with and it’s really been interesting. I’ve been trying to calibrate what the limits of sungazing are and apparently in any condition, even in the snow, it’s totally perfect.
Lenette: Yeah, I gotta find a way [to do this in Chicago]. Maybe I could get on my roof. I just want to say I’m really grateful to be on the same team that you’re on and all the joys. I usually like telling people I’m working on a national project with David Wolfe and that seems like the most fun way to say it. I don’t think I would have gotten this opportunity if it hadn’t been for being in Elements for Life. I can’t say that if this opportunity is calling you that you will get a chance to talk to David Wolfe one-on-one but if you work this business hard and hold it in your vision to hang out with David Wolfe and hang out with all the Elements for Life leaders and go to retreats with us, that could happen. That possibility is there. David, I remember you saying so many people have asked you, "How can I work for you? How can I work with you?" and you’ve had to turn everyone down saying, "There’s only so many people I can hire, guys!" and this is the only channel now for anybody to work alongside you and to meet you.
David: It’s such a gift. You know, I’ve been involved in Elements for Life for five or six years. It’s been a long time. Finally, it’s got a whole thing going. It’s got a lot of traction, a lot of momentum and it solves that issue at every event that I do where there are people in the audience where they go, "This whole angle of nutrition makes sense to me. This is what I want to do for my career. I want to turn all my people onto it." Elements for Life is that opportunity that delivers those people to what their goal is. It’s totally amazing to have that in the cornucopia of what is being offered every night at an event. A lot of times five or more people come to me and say, "How do I get these things to my massage therapist friends? How do I get this to my chiropractor friends? I want to get in this as a business." Now I can go, "Here. Here’s how you do it." Turnkey. And Elements for Life has provided that opportunity. It’s awesome.

Humans suffer from a myriad of health problems, the frequency of which increases as we age. We tend to say, "It’s just a part of getting older," and medicate the symptoms. However, it is now becoming increasingly evident that the key to our health lies in what we are eating and that the path to better health and longer life lies in eating living foods.
