Passion Conquers Poison. How Juice Changed My Life: Annie Lawless at TEDxLaJolla

Many of the concerns we have with food and health today weren't as prevalent when we were growing up. Such as, is it organic? Is it gluten free? Where was it made? Does it contain hormones? Etc. Annie Lawless talks about her journey from peanut butter sandwiches to eczema to discovering how juice could change her life, for the better.

Annie Lawless, Co-Founder of Suja Juice, a health and wellness guru, embodies Suja's underlying message that promotes a long, beautiful life. Annie developed a passion for health and nutrition as a teenager after years of managing her own food sensitivities. She saw her health vastly improve when she began juicing and following a modified organic diet. Annie strengthened her knowledge for health and nutrition through her work as a yoga instructor, while studying the health benefits of dietary and physical influences on the body and mind. When not in the kitchen, Annie spearheads consumer education for Suja.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
