Linda Kordich grew up in a natural foods family dating back to 1965 when her mother became very ill. Being a vegetarian at the age of 12 stood her apart from most people in those times. In her late teens, she fell into a life threatening disease known now as anorexia/bulemia, but learned through studying and observing the natural healing qualities of fresh vegetable juices and living foods, that this was something she could heal, given the right environment and food choices. Recovering from this disease marked her life as a compassionate teacher to help those unfortunate to have fallen into a food addiction. Recovered now for 28 years, Linda attests living foods and virtuous living a major part of her complete healing.Linda then became an undergraduate student in primary eduation, specializing in understanding children’s psychological and emotional challenges. In college, Linda trained as an elemenary school teacher for several years, and soon afterwards met Jay. By the time she was 25 she married Jay and started teaching vegetarian food classes along with fresh vegetable juicing classes in 1981. In 1986, she trademarked their name, JUICEMAN, and by 1992, Jay Kordich became a household name, due to their vision of spreading their message through television, live seminars, and radio shows. In 1992, she helped Jay co-write the Juiceman’s Power of Juicing, selling over 2 million books. In 2006 Linda produced, art directed, wrote and was the vision behind Live Foods Live Bodies, their Multi-Media Living Foods Program. She now accompanies Jay around the world teaching, inspiring and motivating people to eat a predominating living foods diet. Live foods ‘build’ live cells, says Linda. As part of thier Live Foods Live Bodies program, Linda created “Our Living Kitchen” because coming from a strong background of natural foods and natural food appliances, Linda feels that if you don’t have the appliances that support Living Health, then how can one feel supported, alive and well, in your kitchen? When you create the space in your kitchen for living foods, your mind creates the space to hold and apply these wonderful and virtuous ways of living. Linda is now 54 and happily lives with her husband, Jay of 29 years, and their children, John and Jayson.
"Your vitality is so inspiring. It's incredible. I usually mention you and your story every time someone tries to discredit raw foods and juicing. You are truly living proof, no matter what anybody says, and you are my hero!"
