About Me: Deborah Marsh's Journey to Plant-Based Flexitarian Health
Transform Your Health with a Plant-Based Flexitarian Lifestyle
​
Hello! I'm Deborah Marsh, but please call me Debbie. My life is a rich tapestry woven with vibrant colors of art and the textures of health and wellness. As an artist, corporate professional, author, and health enthusiast, I blend creativity and well-being into every aspect of my life.
​
Early Inspirations and Discoveries
​
My journey to optimal health began in 1984 with Frances Moore Lappé's book "Diet for a Small Planet." Although my initial attempt at vegetarianism was short-lived, it set the stage for my lifelong commitment to healthy living. In 2003, I was introduced to raw foods, and by 2007, I fully embraced a raw food lifestyle, transforming my health dramatically.
​
The Turning Point
In 2006, I was suffering from various health issues when a co-worker's hair analysis revealed dietary deficiencies. This discovery led me to eliminate problematic foods, resulting in significant health improvements, including weight loss and increased energy.
​
Becoming an Author and Advocate
​
Inspired by my transformation, I published my first recipe book in 2007, followed by another in 2008. My blog, "Raw-Riffic Food," became a valuable resource for the raw food community.
​
Challenges and Resilience
​
Despite facing significant personal and health challenges, my passion for a mostly plant-based diet and lifestyle always brought me back. These experiences reinforced my commitment to health and well-being.
​
Family Transformation and Embracing a New Lifestyle
​
Transitioning to a mostly plant-based diet has significantly improved my family's health. My husband and I are now free from dependency on medications and enjoy a balanced lifestyle that includes hiking and embracing nature.
​
Evolution to a Plant-Based Flexitarian Diet
​
Today, at over 60 years old, I find that a plant-based flexitarian diet is the most beneficial for my health. This diet includes mostly plant-based foods with occasional animal products. Through my blog and books, I share my experiences to inspire others.
