YouTube phenomenon “Dave, The Raw Food Trucker,” Conrardy has touched the lives of thousands of people world wide. We were delighted to have him speak at g-zen in June 2011 for the very first time and will soon feature the whole series of videos on this blog devoted to his story. We found Dave to be as remarkable as the story he told us. He’s unrelentingly optimistic, generous, and a real advocate for healthy eating and the raw food movement.
Just a few short years ago, Raw Food Trucker Dave weighed over 400 lbs. and struggled with diabetes and colon cancer. As his picture shows, he could barely squeeze into his arm chair, let alone climb into the cab of his truck. Facing the grim reality of his own mortality, Dave had written himself off and was preparing to die. I will never forget this part of his compelling talk when Dave describes how two fellow truckers convinced him to end his McDonald’s style diet laden with trans-fats and red meat and adopt a radical shift in his eating and thinking.
He began to follow the advice of Dr. Gabriel Cousens and started to eat mostly raw foods, juicing sprouts and fresh vegetables. After just 4 days, Dave was able to get off his diabetes medicine. In six months he was cancer free WITHOUT having chemo or radiation. With more energy than ever, he has lost 230 pounds. Now he’s a dynamo and a faithful crusader for both sprouting and juicing.
I have had the pleasure of having Dave speak 3 consecutive years in a row to a packed house at G-Zen. It is always amazing to see how Dave’s down to earth and no Bullshit approach speaks to and touches so many people. He is able to reach an audience that normally would not be open to hearing about raw foods or juicing- and is able to deliver his message in such a way that everyone can easily relate to his story. Over the last few years, I consider Dave not only a fellow Wellness Warrior but also a soul friend. I look forward to having Dave back this spring to host a more advanced work shop on juicing & raw food prep…..Stay tuned for this incredible event that is in the making!

The fact that he made healing meals while driving a long-distance truck makes Dave’s story all the more impressive.
