Hey, my name is Yuri Elkaim.
I’m the author of Eating for Energy and passionate about helping you live your healthiest and most energetic life ever!
Amongst other things, I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and firm believer that adding more raw foods into your diet is extremely helpful.
You see, I lost my hair at the age of 17 to a condition called Alopecia. This is was caused by years of bombarding my body with dead foods that my body was sensitive to. Specifically, I ate tons of bread, pasta, and dairy – and barely any fruits and vegetables.
Fast-forward a few years. After adopting a mainly raw food diet, I restored my full head of hair (although I still keep it shaved) and have way more energy than most kids on a sugar high.
In my book and on this blog I will be sharing many time-tested nutrition principles to help you live with more energy, lose weight, and enjoy life-long vitality!
Sound good?
Also, if you have yet to read my book, that’s ok – I won’t hold it against you. However, in the meantime, this blog is geared toward to providing you with great raw food and overall nutrition information, tips, and tools to take you health to the next step.
I’ll also be asking some of my “raw food” friends to add a post periodically to give you some different perspectives and more great tools.
In the meantime, if there’s anything you’d like us to cover or if you have any nutrition or raw food-related questions please feel free to post them in the comments section below. We’ll be sure to answer them as soon as we can.
I’ll talk to you soon.

Hi Yuri,
Not sure if you spend much time in San Francisco, but we have an amazing raw food restaurant here called Cafe Gratitude. They have published recipe books as well, that include nearly everything on their menu. I highly recommend their books – and if you are ever visiting, defintely add lunch or dinner at the restaurant to your itinerary!

Thanks Sharon.
San Fran is on my places to visit. And I’ve heard really good things about cafe gratitude.
We’ll do lunch when I come to the bay area! Thanks.
Hi Yuri!
I just wanted to say how awesome your podcasts are! And now I see this blog!
You’ve definitely motivated me to include a larger percentage of raw foods into my diet, just today I bought some dates (never had them before!) so that I could make a date-cashew mix to have with fresh fruit.I don’t intend on going 100% raw as of yet, but am planning on gradually making the percentage in favour of raw foods compared to cooked.
I can’t wait to take a look at your book, and am going to be doing a short review of your podcasts when I get the chance to.
Anyways, great work on all of this, you are a good motivation! Maybe I can even encourage my husband to get more into the raw
do you know of any really good raw food restaurants in Toronto? I want to visit one, but am a bit lost on which one would be best.
Hey Nikki,
Thank for your kind comments and wanting to spread the message about my podcast. I know you’ll enjoy Eating for Energy as well. A really good raw food restaurant in Toronto is called “Live”. It’s located at Dupont and Spadina. Very good food!
