A Man on FIRE - Super Raw Life Magazine

Mark A. Eisenhart
in the Portland metro area as well as spots on local TV news stations. In late December of 2013 or early January of 2014
Mark will climb Aconcagua, a 7,000 meter peak in Argentina. The process and training leading up to the climb and
the expedition itself will be the subject of a documentary film titled Rattle The Cages (stay tuned for the launch of the
website www.rattlethecagesthemovie.com) that will feature Mark's journey to the summit of this beautiful peak but,
more importantly, it will chronicle the steps Mark takes inwardly to find the truth inside himself.
Among the members of Mark's team will be Tony Priddle. Tony is a Whole Brain Coach that specializes in working
with athletes, and together with his partner and wife Eliza they will help Mark tunnel inward to his subconscious
mind, to the depths of who he really is, to what is driving his motivation, and to discover his true and authentic self by
first peeling the layers of the onion that make up the ego-based identity Mark has created for himself over the course
of the last 43 years. Andrea Nakayama, a Functional Nutritionist who works out of Portland, Oregon, is one of the
most important members of Mark's team. She has created a diet and meal plan, after doing a full panel of labs and
tests, which allows Mark to reach the top of his game and meet the nutritional needs his body requires to achieve and
maintain not only vibrant health but peak athletic performance. She also established an eating protocol for him to
follow that helps him to maximize the absorption of vital nutrients, phyto-chemicals, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and all
of the other nourishing factors the food in his diet has to offer.
Mark begins every meal with Braggs Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, then a series of Digestive and Supportive Enzymes by
Enzymedica, flushed down with Volcanic Mineral Refresher (a mineral refresher in alkalinized water sourced from a
dormant volcano in Southern Oregon). Mark makes sure fat, fiber, and protein are present in each meal, making certain
to eat for satiety and really listen to what his body is telling him. He finishes with Raw Fermented Sauerkraut or Kimchi
from Pickled Planet for additional probiotics, enzymes, and as an adjunct to facilitate digestion and metabolism. The
enzymes in their products catalyze cellular activity of all sorts and have effects ranging from improved circulation,
weight loss, improved digestion, increased flexibility and reportedly it has helped joint pain and arthritis. The bacteria
themselves are also quite beneficial. They colonize the gut when eaten daily, and help regulate the metabolism and
activity in your intestines. They also regulate populations of pathogens and unwanted micro-organisms in the shared
space by killing them. They are like a super hero force in your GI tract. They created vitamins, like K, and increase
36
the absorption of nutrients by occupying receptors in the
intestinal wall. This serves a duel function of ensuring
the proper size nutrient molecules get into the blood and
keeping unwanted pathogens out of the blood stream.
The organic acids created by the bacteria are also great
for regulating stomach ph. They also directly break down
protein strains into amino acids, and they give you a little
rush and alkalize the blood when consumed on an empty
stomach.
Mark eats six to eight times a day, every two hours and
practices mindful and conscious eating. In other words
Mark goes into a meditative state focusing his attention
inward to be fully present and enjoy the richness of the
eating experience. The taste, texture, and smell truly
comes alive when he does this, and Mark feels so much
more satisfied by integrating this part of his spiritual
practice into his diet and lifestyle. Vega, the company
created by professional triathlete Brendan Brazier (one
of Mark's biggest sources of inspiration) is one of the
most important keys to Mark's success. Mark integrates
Vega One, Performance Protein, EFA Oil, Energizing
Smoothies, Pre Workout Energizer and Post Workout
Recovery Accelerator into his daily routine. He averages
two to three smoothies a day, which are made up of the
clean, plant based nutrition that is the cornerstone for
this incredible company. Mark likes to use So Delicious
Unsweetened Coconut Milk as a base along with Volcanic
Mineral Refresher in his smoothies. His busy lifestyle and
training 2- 3 times a day 4- 6 days a week makes Vega One
smoothies with Performance Protein and EFA Oil added
as well as Chocolate Coconut or Savi Seed Protein Bars
a staple in his diet. In fact the KURE Juice Bar (based in
Portland Oregon), made a signature smoothie after him
which features Vega products. Mark is a regular there in
the Hawthorne District of SE Portland when he is not in
Los Angeles.
After his fasting cardio workout in the morning Mark
turns to his Vitamix and makes a green smoothie with
Vega Post Workout Recovery Accelerator and mixed
organic greens, carrots, berries, Maca, Raw Hemp
Protein, Flax, and Chia Oil by Foods Alive as well as
Twister Mix, Lucuma Powder, and Acai from Navitas
Naturals, a dollop of either Coconut Butter or Almond
Butter from Artisana, and a scoop of Vega Performance
Protein combined with Volcanic Mineral Refresher. <strong>Man</strong>y
people ask Mark whether or not he has had to give up his
sweet tooth on his new diet. The truth is the desserts he
eats now are not only stupid good they are packed full of
nutrition. Whether it is LuLu's Chocolate Love, a vegan,
gluten-free cookie or cupcake made with Raw Superfood
Mix and Chocolate Hazelnut frosting or Cinnamon Maca
Drizzle from JEM's Raw Nut Butters it is sure to please his
taste for something yummy! What are his favorite "snack
foods" you ask? Vampire Killer's by Brad's Raw Chips
and Pina Kale-ada- absolutely to die for! Mark has been
known to devour an entire bag at one time!
Flax Crackers by Foods Alive have replaced bread in his
diet and their nutritional yeast and dressings are a staple
over quinoa, lentils, mung beans, and salads. Ambaya
Gold, a family owned and operated business in Sedona,
provide both nutritional supplements like Liquid Super
Conductive Vitamins and Minerals but also mon-atomic
gold rich products like Orme Zeolite, Hydration Gold,
Fusion Gold, Orme Oxygen, and others to assist with
hydration, detoxification, digestion, metabolism, and
uptake of vital nutrients. They also round out his personal
care and hygiene program with Zeolite Soap, Facial
Cream, Lotion, and Dentist in a Bottle.
Even Mark's personal life is vibrant and healthier than
ever before, thanks in large part to Hot Rawks, a plantbased,
raw, organic, superfood-injected supplement he
takes twice a day to supercharge his life after his work
day is done. Mark believes in a balanced, healthy, vibrant
life that includes safe, discreet, intimacy, and Hot Rawks
is at the core. To learn more about Mark's journey please
