Description:

Axay Shah was 50 years old when he noticed something unsettling. The energy he had at 30 and 40 was gone. He looked at older friends in their 60s coping with arthritis, obesity, and diabetes, and refused to accept that future as inevitable. On December 5, 2009, at his mother's birthday dinner, he announced he would switch to raw food on January 1. His brother-in-law challenged the delay. The next morning, he started.

In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Axay Shah, founder of Raw Foodiest and author of In Nature We Trust, accepted into the Library of Congress in March 2026. Axay walks through 16 years of 100 percent raw eating, the energy bankruptcy that hits most adults by 5 PM, and the three stages he says every habit change runs through. He breaks down why the protein hype is overblown, how he lifts his 170-pound son at 145 pounds, and what it takes to run 8 marathons at 67 going on 68 without supplements or medications.
