Daniella Hunter and her husband Charlie Stuart Gay are the founders of Real Coconut Kitchens, SANA Foods, the boutique wellness hotel brand, Sanara Tulum. Daniella has an embracing lifestyle brand, By Daniella Hunter. She is constantly working to ensure that her restaurants, recipes, and products encompass her philosophy for sustainable eating and living: to support ourselves, while also caring for the planet.

All it took was a friend saying, \u201cSay hello to Charlie for me. We went to school together at the University of Santa Monica. Tell him I\u2019m still doing the work, helping and healing myself and others.\u201d Charlie Stuart Gay believes the universe is conspiring to bring the healers and, what he calls, \u201cactivators\u201d together for a mission bigger than us\u2014saving the human species by caring for our bodies and the planet we share. You will believe this is the only path too and be inspired to take action the minute you hear his beat-poet voice speaking in a rhythm and mesmerizing tone about human potential and next action steps. He walked straight up to me in Tulum, Mexico where I was oohing and ahhing over the vegan and gluten-free breakfast at The Real Coconut, the groovy, clear-energy beachside restaurant he owns with his wife and co-activator, Daniella Hunter. I never had to find him. He found me and instantly began a poet\u2019s diatribe, sharing a profound amount of powerful information, right then and there, tableside. He said \u201cI already know you. You are here for a reason.\u201d I believe him. You will too and this is one time suspension of disbelief is not just a helpful tool, but a necessity.

\n \nHere are some words from Charlie Stuart Gay soothsayer about why he and Daniella are getting to work in life, splitting the coconut and spreading the good news and options as powerfully and as fast as they can.

\n\n\u201c\u2018What If?\u2019 a creator comes together with a connector in the middle of the road of their lives; they fall in love, and then set about how we all can act differently around food, water and even living environments.

\n \nWhat if the creator had collapsed lungs as a teenager, but learned in the crisis of her life to ask deep personal questions around how to be alive, how to give herself conscious care and nutrition. What if the creator, who had done the opposite to what everyone had advised her, became a scuba instructor in Sinai, met the connector and they fell in love in post-war Liberia fields\u2014 where the connector is supporting the first ever woman President in Africa bringing empowerment to the women of Liberia. This connector had already had his own \u201cWhat If\u201d questions propelling him in his 20\u2019s through a concert-promoting world from the UK to Australia\u2014 to be sponsored to Los Angeles by CHER to manage\u2014 and then to being executive director of a land mine detection NGO with Nelson Mandela and his wife as its patrons.

\n \nLovers throughout time have often asked, \u201cwhere shall we live to best create a new life together?\u201d What if at the turn of the Mayan Calendar, these lovers find themselves in a Yucat\u00e1n Jungle and say, \u201cWhat If we move here.\u201d They did move\u2014 ten days later, and mystery and magic has shown up ever since for them\u2014and really for all who encounter them.

Daniella Hunter, the creator, and her husband, partner, essential support, Charlie Stuart Gay are now driven to create and connect as many people on our planet through a series of over arching \u201cWhat If\u201d Questions with everything connecting through food, water and living environments.

\n \nIt is what has created their international gluten, grain and dairy free food brand SANA foods curated by their Real Coconut Kitchens, now in over 5,000 stores across the States and Canada, and their Real Coconut Conscious Kitchen\u2014 with more restaurants to come birthed from its prime location in Mexico, now also open in Malibu. Daniella\u2019s cook book, \u201cNourish Ourselves and Nurture Our World,\u201d is exactly what occurs when you follow her food philosophies for yourself as you automatically support the economy and honor small farmers all over the world.

\n \n\u201cWhat if?\u201d started in Tulum with a school opening for some of their 5 children and other converging international children and grew with the birthing in 2014 of Sanara Hotel on the Tulum beach. It is a sanctuary that attracts people of like minds and energy who then meet and fall in love with everything that Daniella and Charlie create.

\n \n\u201cThere was a day when our hotel architects said how did we want the kitchen built?\u201d says Daniella, \u201cand we didn\u2019t have a chef to design a menu, so I did it myself.\u201d Daniella conceived her first Real Coconut menu at Sanara around her nutrition understanding, including how important a coconut is(see list below for some of its myriad uses,) making over thirty products in its mature state. Now Daniella is considered a global pioneer in alternative flour healthy recipes and insists with no compromise to only use low impact grain free crops like coconut, plantain, yucca and hemp that require little irrigated water.

These three fundamental \u201cWhat If\u201d questions challenge Charlie and Daniella. \u201cBeing awake to these questions and experiencing how our planet is being challenged by our lack of care for it, gives us our clarity and direction for what we are expanding into.\u201d

\n \n1.What if we do not practice\u2026 \nHEALTHY SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR OURSELVES & OUR LANDS? How do we feed 10 billion by 2050?

\n \n2.What if we ignore\u2026\nTHE DESTRUCTION OF OUR OCEANS & ATMOSPHERE?\nSea algae is solely responsible for 50-85% of EVERY breath. What if unseen fertilizers, toxins and micro plastic silently suffocates our ability to breath, whilst fresh water at the same time becomes increasingly scarce due to our climate reacting to our ignorance. \n \nAs amazing activators Charlie and Daniella seek to Influence us all as we question\u2026\n

\n3.WHAT IF THERE IS NOTHING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IGNORANCE? \n \nCharlie and Daniella are leading the charge towards solutions. They are activators, examples of human potential in action and being of service. Here is a \n\u201cWhat if\u201d we can all answer with our individual footsteps and choices-and WHAT IF WE ACTIVATE OUR QUESTIONS INTO PROJECTS, AS WE INFLUENCE THE HEALTH OF EACH OTHER & HEAL OUR PLANET?\n

\nCOCONUT CAN-DO LIST:
\n1. Coconut meat, pressed, makes oil and cream and from cream makes milk.
\n2. Milk to cheese. The leftover pulp from pressing is ground to make flour.
\n3. Tap coconut palms to get coconut nectar, then to coconut sugar, and also coconut vinegar and aminos.
\n4. The outside shell of coconut makes activated charcoal.
\n5. The husk (coir) is used as fertilizer, mulch and can make mats and ropes.
\n6. Endless products from cream\/milk and flour.\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
