    Raw Vegan, Muscle, Masculinity & Fatherhood — The Host Answers Everything | Alex E Lamber | Ep 30

    Wanna hear more about our Raw Chef Trainings? Check: https://www.therawtemple.com/dM4IMO SUMMARY In this episode of Raw Talks, our host sits down with Alex E Lamber — the man usually asking the questions — who takes the guest seat to talk about the eight-year path that took him from a corporate life in Sydney to a mainly raw vegan lifestyle in Bali. Alex shares the reading, documentaries and spiritual awakening that shifted his perspective, and why proving you can build muscle without meat matters so much to the people watching. He speaks candidly about staying open-minded rather than dogmatic, about the forces that profit from people being unwell, and about what veganism has to do with healthy masculinity. He also opens up about stepping into fatherhood, planning a natural home birth with his partner, and why he supports her choices even when they differ from his own. This conversation covers raw veganism and athletic performance, the protein myth, Gen Z and the carnivore movement, predator versus protector masculinity, natural birth, and how to get involved with the Raw Temple community in Bali and online.

He breaks down the four pillars of men's work — physical, mental, sexual, and spiritual — and explains why purpose only arrives once a man becomes internally abundant.

    We Had a Baby on a Raw Vegan Diet — and a Natural Home Birth | Zaia & Carlos | Ep 26

    Wanna hear more about our Raw Chef Trainings? Check: https://www.therawtemple.com/dM4IMO SUMMARY In this episode of Raw Talks, host Alex sits down with Carlos and Zaia, parents of baby Atmanu, for a live audience conversation at The Raw Temple in Ubud about raw vegan pregnancy, birth and parenting. Zaia shares what actually happened when she tried to stay fully raw through pregnancy — the morning sickness, the two months of eating mostly durian, and the postpartum lactation crisis that she traces back to stress rather than food. Carlos explains why diet is always the first thing blamed when a vegan family hits a problem, and how they sourced donor breast milk rather than turning to formula. Together they talk about free birthing in Costa Rica, setting boundaries with grandparents, cravings, and what changed in them once a baby arrived. This conversation covers raw vegan pregnancy, postpartum recovery, fruit-based nutrition, and the real cost of going against the grain.
