Dr. Will Tuttle
Dr. Will Tuttle is an award-winning speaker, educator, author and musician focused on compassion, intuition, meditation, social justice and creativity. He has been an all organic vegan for over 40 years and used those decades of plant-based living expertise to author the best-selling book The World Peace Diet as well as over a dozen other books and CDs.
Dr. Will Tuttle is a former Zen monk with a fruit orchard in California laden with over 60 fruit trees. He has won the Courage of Conscience Award—awarded to the Dalai Lama in 1991—and is passionate about educating the masses on “how our routine exploitation of animals for food and other products boomerangs in countless ways, affecting both our outer world and the inner landscape of our daily experience. A more conscious way of living is beckoning.”
For those already on the path, he offers the next step toward a more peaceful world: a calmer mind, a clearer heart and a sense of connection with all life.
Chris Kendall
Chris is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and a Raw Food Lifestyle Coach. He has been a raw vegan for 21 years and is focused on living a bliss-centered life as well as skateboarding, yoga and athletics.
A period of poor lifestyle and food choices in his mid to late teens led to injury, difficult recovery and a decline in vitality and vigor. So, at 18 years of age he was inspired to learn more about the intersection of nutrition and fitness and become an RHN. Later, meeting Dr. Douglas Graham at a vegan health festival prompted an overnight switch to a raw vegan lifestyle. Now, Chris’s “passion and purpose is to help others on their path of self-discovery and optimal health to regain and maintain the youthful vitality” that he believes is our birthright.
Sit in on Chris’s sessions for practical steps to restore and sustain youthful vitality and joy through food, movement and mindset.

Get ready to learn how to stay consistent with a fruit-based raw vegan lifestyle no matter where you live and join Jeannette’s challenging workouts!
Eli Martyr
Eli is a world-famous stuntman, natural health expert and fruitarian of almost 10 years. He is passionate about movement and exercise and is the founder of the FreeMelon Society.
Eli is “devoted to the uplift and awakening of human consciousness through the most accessible and understandable avenues available to us in our modern-day society,” which he believes are health and diet. The human soul and spirit can achieve recognition, but, Eli says, chaotic thoughts and emotional landscapes as well as bodies inhibited by the standard diet prevent this enlightenment.
His lectures and workouts weave philosophy with practice, giving you tools to calm reactivity, energize the body and deepen awareness.
Professor Spira
Professor Spira is a mucus-free vegan of over 20 years, author and jazz trombonist. He founded Mucus-free Life LLC in 2014 and is a world-class expert on Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System. He has master’s degrees in jazz studies and African American and African Studies as well as a Ph.D. in musicology.
In his early college years, Professor Spira weighed 300 pounds and was suffering from ailments such as daily migraines, frequent ear infections, sleep apnea, painful acid reflux, allergies, joint pain and more. He learned about Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System from a jazz drummer while at University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music and his life changed. He lost 100 pounds in six months and no longer suffered from the many ailments. Since then, he has coached and inspired thousands of individuals to overcome their health problems through the Mucusless Diet.
