Raw Vegan for 53 Years: Lou Corona on Faith & Purpose

What does it look like to spend more than five decades committed to a raw vegan lifestyle—and to connect that lifestyle with faith, forgiveness, purpose, and personal transformation?

In this episode of Rapid Regeneration, Dave Escamilla sits down with Lou Corona for an in-depth conversation about Lou’s life, spiritual perspective, and approach to raw living foods. Lou shares his personal story of adversity, including difficult early experiences, health struggles he faced as a young adult, and the spiritual turning points that shaped the direction of his life.

For more than 53 years, Lou says he has followed a lifestyle centered on fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, soaked and sprouted nuts and seeds, cultured foods, and other plant-based raw living foods. He explains how his approach differs from simply eating a raw vegan diet, emphasizing food preparation practices such as soaking, germination, sprouting, fermentation, and making cultured nut and seed yogurts.

This conversation is not only about food. It is also about the inner work Lou believes matters most: learning to forgive, releasing resentment, finding a sense of purpose, practicing gratitude, and making intentional choices each day. Lou reflects on prayer, spirituality, personal responsibility, and the importance of staying connected to what gives life meaning.

Throughout the interview, Lou discusses his belief that people can choose to create more peace, love, purpose, and vitality in their lives. He shares his perspective on forgiveness as a process of releasing anger and resentment, not excusing harmful behavior. He also speaks about the role of compassion—for oneself and for others—in building a more meaningful future.
