While out and about at the Raw Food Festival this past summer, Chef Tina Jo met up with Kevin Gianni, the host of the Renegade Health Show and the creator of the widely viewed "Rawkathon" series, including in-depth interviews with leading experts in the raw foods movement:


Kevin Gianni is a health advocate, author, interviewer, and film consultant. His expertise includes exercise, energy techniques, nutrition, paradigm shifting, and stress relief. Through his programs and online seminars, he has helped thousands of people from over 21 countries learn more, improve their health, and reach a level of fitness they never thought was possible.


Kevin got his start in graduate school researching holistic modalities at Western Connecticut State University. While doing so, he learned many different non-traditional approaches to solve very traditional fitness and health problems. Since then, he has been studying and putting those techniques and philosophies into practice through one-on-one and group sessions. His techniques are embraced by busy people because they are simple, easy-to-use, and guaranteed to get results in just a few days. He uses a simple, "take action" approach to fitness that is welcomed by many who've been duped by the gadgets, magazine articles, and flavor-of-the-month scientific studies.


Kevin is the creator and co-host of The Renegade Health Show, a fun and informative daily health show that is changing the perception of health across the world; the author of High Raw - A Simple Approach to Health, Eating, and Saving the Planet, which in 5 easy steps helps people transform their bodies and minds naturally and without confusion; and the co-author of "The Busy Person's Fitness Solution." Along with business partner Mike Adams, Kevin created HealthBookSummaries.com, a free service that allows you to stay well informed about health, nutrition and fitness in just a few minutes each week. Kevin also created the widely viewed "Rawkathon" series, including in-depth interviews with leading experts in the raw foods movement.


He has been quoted and interviewed by many national publications including, among others: WebMD, Ediets, Cooking Light, Woman's World, Skiing Magazine, Today's Diet and Nutrition, The Chicago Daily Herald, San Antonio Express-News, NBC 30, My Family Doctor, and STL Today. Kevin has also interviewed many of today's top health and wellness experts, such as Dr. Mark Hyman, Mike Adams, Bob Doyle, David Wolfe, Dr. Michael Breus, Victoria Boutenko, Danny Dreyer, Marion Nestle, and hundreds more.
