When you listen to Khalil Rafati's story you'll likely be in disbelief. At 33, he was broke and broken. At 109lbs, he had spent the past several years battling a serious drug problem, which ultimately derailed him and left him on the streets of California. His battle with drug addiction sent him on a downward spiral with no end in sight. It wasn't until June 18th, 2003, when Khalil finally snapped. He had reached the end of the road and decided enough was enough: he had to get sober. He tossed all of his prescriptions in the trash and left the hospital, accepting an impending struggle. The next few days left him in the darkest place of his life. The absence of the prescriptions and heroin left him on his knees - in the darkest place of his life. It was the beginning of his turnaround, but it didn't come without a cost. The pain he suffered through those withdrawals propelled him forward. He surrendered to God and began making some serious changes in his life. After getting sober, Khalil began to reconstruct his life and now he's a successful entrepreneur, owning the smoothie bar, Sunlife Organics, author of the book I Forgot to Die, and angel investor in several incredible brands. Our conversation with Khalil was moving. It's a powerful story of overcoming adversity and committing to a healthy life. We talk about how he incorporated animal-based nutrition into his diet to anchor his health as he began to rebuild his life into one he could never have dreamed of just a few years prior.

Khalil has an incredibly inspiring life story. He went from working with Hollywood stars and rock musicians to hitting rock bottom at 33. Homeless, addicted to heroin and cocaine, living on the streets of Los Angeles, a high school dropout, and convicted felon. His prospects seemed pretty slim. In 2003 he decided to get sober. A friend of his introduced him to juicing and superfoods and the results for him were instant. He felt life coming back to him and into his body. Wanting more of that, this gave him a purpose, which became his passion. Fast forward, after being able to travel the world discovering and learning everything he could about the best that nature could offer regarding nutritional ingredients he and his business partner in 2011 opened their first SunLife Organics location in southern California. A place that Khalil could share everything he's learned. Today they have multiple locations throughout the LA area and with another in Austin, TX. He tells his story in his first best-selling book "I Forgot To Die", which is available on Amazon. Khalil proves without a doubt that anything is possible with determination, purpose, passion, and a desire to make your life better than it was before. He's carved out a pretty sweet life for himself and continues to inspire people daily on his Instagram page and through his business accounts. It was my pleasure having Khalil on the podcast.

“I’m a high school dropout. I’m a convicted felon. I can’t spell. I can’t type. I was homeless. I shot dope into my veins and I am not ashamed of any of that stuff because that’s what I had to do to survive… Whatever it is that you are suffering from, you can change. And you can change in such a profound way that within a short period of time you wont even recognize yourself anymore.”Khalil RafatiToday my good friend Khalil Rafati returns to the podcast.Most would call Khalil a successful wellness entrepreneur. SunLife Organics, his growing chain of organic juice bar cafés, can be seen popping up all over Southern California with more on the horizon.But it wasn't that long ago that the only thing Khalil was successful at was getting high in the dark underbelly of the City of Angels.Addicted to shooting heroin and smoking crack, Khalil was soon overtaken by paranoia and psychosis and written off by friends and family. When he finally hit bottom, Khalil was 33 years old and 109 pounds, a convicted felon, high school dropout, and homeless junkie living in a cardboard box on the infamous Skid Row in downtown L.A.At the time, Khalil was hell bent on dying. But God, the Universe or whatever you want to call it had different plans. He didn't just live — he repaired his life wholesale. A miracle of sobriety. Miracle.So how does someone with nothing, who feels like they deserve nothing, and who just wants to end it all turn their life around?Khalil’s story is nothing short of astounding, trumped only by his ability to tell it. So if you missed his first appearance on the show, listen up here.Today he drops by the podcast studio to pick up where we left off — a tale recently canonized in his recently released memoir I Forgot To Die* — an incredible true story of pain, suffering, addiction and redemption and how one man ultimately conquered his demons and wrote himself a new life story.So let's hear all about it.
