Welcome my friends!
My name is Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram, and many online know me as FullyRaw Kristina.
I’m a writer, speaker, and raw vegan activist. I am the founder and creator of FullyRaw, the Rawfully Organic cooperative, FullyRaw Juice, the FullyRaw App,FullyRaw Retreats, and author of the best-selling book The FullyRaw Diet: 21 Days to Better Health. My YouTube channel, has more than 100 million views. My social media platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat) have 3 million viewers. I have been on the Greatist.com list of "100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness" every year since 2015. I am based in Houston, Texas.
My journey started with overcoming illness in my teens. In 2003, when I realized that I was sick and tired of being “sick…and tired,” I decided to make drastic lifestyle changes. With the coaching and mentoring of prominent raw food experts I started following a “raw food diet.” I went FullyRaw vegan in one day and never looked back.
I ate simply for my first few years of going raw vegan, and this included mono-mealing on fruits, smoothies, salads, some juices, eating various fruits, with few nuts and seeds. I saw drastic changes in my body’s chemistry. My overall skin and complexion improved, and most importantly, my symptoms of diabetes disappeared.
By 2005, when I was 18 years old, I officially won my battle against Type-2 diabetes and hyperglycemia eating a fullyraw vegan diet. A fullyraw vegan diet is widely recognized as a lifestyle that only consumes fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It’s a compassionate lifestyle. Changing what I ate, changed my life. At that time, I decided to dedicate my life to sharing a message of health and wellness that could also help many others.
