Nate is a raw vegan chef, author, and educator who has lived a raw, plant-exclusive lifestyle since February 2017. His journey began after a conversation on a ski lift with a long-term raw foodist who had reversed stage-4 colorectal cancer decades earlier…a moment that challenged his assumptions about what was possible and ultimately changed the trajectory of his life.

Having worked in hospital settings including cardiac care, endocrinology, pulmonary clinics, and elder care, Nate had already witnessed firsthand the long-term consequences of lifestyle-related disease. Those experiences, combined with his own health struggles, reshaped how he viewed food…not just as fuel, but as a powerful daily influence on vitality and decline.

What started as personal transformation became a structured, daily commitment. After shedding nearly 70 pounds with raw and living foods and rebuilding his health, Nate committed not only to living this way, but to understanding it deeply and teaching it clearly.

His work centers on practical, sustainable raw living…emphasizing fruits, vegetables, sprouts, fermented foods, while removing confusion and rigidity. He teaches people how to build simple systems in their kitchens, from knife-and-cutting-board basics to tools like dehydrators and freeze dryers that make the lifestyle creative and enjoyable.

Nate is the author of several books spanning sprouting and microgreens, smoothie-based nutrition, savory raw cuisine, plant-based ice cream innovation, and men’s vitality, including Full MAST: The Quiet Loss of Male Vitality and the Conditions That Bring It Back. His writing bridges culinary creativity with structured lifestyle education.

He also leads Full Mast Empire, a men’s vitality community focused on rebuilding structure, discipline, and energy through plant-based nutrition and consistent daily habits.

Nate’s mission is simple: to demonstrate that high-raw living can be practical, powerful, and sustainable…and that when the body is properly nourished, strength, clarity, and vitality come back online.
