I would advise you to pass on anyone who has been eating raw less than 10 solid years. One of the reasons why I stopped posting, for the most part, is the sheer number of people who are clearly novices or who are not dedicated to a raw lifestyle at all but post here prolifically. I started in 2003. Others on here, who also post less frequently, have been at this for similarly long timeframes.
I would disagree. It should be just one more factor in deciding on a coach, other factors being:
- Do your philosophies align? e.g., if you are looking for 100% raw, does your coach eat 100% raw?
- Have they healed any health conditions in the past? e.g., helped someone get pregnant or eliminate acne
- Have they DEVELOPED health conditions? e.g., GCB's wife who was instincto died from cancer. Other folks have too much iron, etc.
Just using ">10 years?" is overly simplistic. Especially since the point of getting coached is to cut down on time-to-mastery.
