Two Raw Sisters - How Diet Helped Us Heal From Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Severe Anxiety
Episode Description
Margo and Rosa Flannagan are Two Raw Sisters.
These two South Island siblings have carved a niche for themselves as New Zealand’s go-to when it comes to plant-based meals.
These girls are such fun company: they are driven and successful. And open books. So, I jumped at the chance to have them back on my podcast.
On top of recently starting their own podcast and releasing an app, they have also put out their FIFTH recipe book- More Salad.
This is an update into the lives of Rosa and Margo:
Marriage, pregnancy, a move to Melbourne and even a peep show in Amsterdam.
We also go back and explore the early years-why they hated each other as teens and how they healed severe health issues using food as medicine.
The aesthetic of their books and brand are beautiful and perfect. But their lives, like all of us, are imperfect.
This is part of the Two Raw Sisters story.
