In Part Two of this special kitchen conversation on Trauma and Social Work: A Mother and Son Dialogue, KJ Alexander asks the questions many are curious about:
Is raw vegan better than cooked vegan? How do you properly combine foods for optimal digestion?
Tonya Octave, LCSW, shares her insights on the difference between raw and cooked vegan eating, explaining how both can support health depending on your body’s needs, the seasons, and your emotional state.
We also explore the healing power of fruits—how their hydration, fiber, and phytonutrients nourish the body, support digestion, and uplift the mind.
This episode offers simple guidance on how to listen to your body, honor its needs, and make food choices that truly nourish from the inside out.
