Philip McCluskey is a sought-after motivational speaker, author, and raw food expert who inspires and educates thousands worldwide about the raw food lifestyle.
After thirty failed diet attempts and the looming prospect of gastric bypass surgery, raw food saved Philip’s life. By eating only living foods, he shed nearly 100 kilos from his morbidly obese 180 kilogram frame and uncovered a fitter version of his former self.
Passionate about the vibrant health and energy he gained when he lost his poor eating habits and emotional hang-ups, Philip has made it his mission to spread hope and health to others.
He has appeared as a keynote speaker throughout the US, has been featured on the CBS show The Doctors as well as Jack LaLanne commercials, and has inspired nearly a million viewers who follow his journey on YouTube.
He is the founder of PhilipMcCluskey.com, a source of advice and inspiration about the raw food lifestyle, and is also the author of four books, including Raw Food Fast Food and Raw Food Juice Bar as well as The Worlds’ Sexiest Diet Weight Loss Program.
When Philip switched to a 100% raw food lifestyle in 2006, he lost a lot of weight. But he also lost the depression, anxiety, embarrassment, lethargy, and illness that had nagged him most of his life. In their place, he found renewed energy, vitality, and happiness.
He now inspires others to begin their own healing journey and not only lose extra weight, but gain vibrant health, mental clarity, a sense of purpose, and a renewed passion for life.
His message to them is: “I believe in you.” When he’s not writing, speaking, or concocting fresh raw recipes, Philip enjoys spending time outdoors in the sun, hiking, exercising, and practicing presence.
