Christian was born and raised in Marin county, CA. Before dabbling into conscious organic foods and herbs, Christian went through public high school. He started at Tam High 50 pounds overweight and one of the shortest boys in his class. However by his junior year, he had lost 50 pounds in six months by “eating less of my San Francisco sourdough bread addiction and biking every weekend,” and gained a few inches in height as well. Still, he got very depressed and wasn’t able to deal with high school expectations and stress and for many long moments, lost the will to live.
However, by senior year, he had begun to add in yoga, his first herb ginseng, an assortment of green superfood powders, and an organic diet into his life and began to find his passion for living again. He started to discover himself and his mission to the world.
He then traveled to Olympia, WA to spend four years at the Evergreen State College, and earned a BA in raw food nutrition. In that time and the 3 years after, he has catered for Organic superfood centered retreats and conferences with the talents David Wolfe, Woody Harrelson, Bruce Horowitz, Daniel Vitalis, Laura Fox, Sean Lee Gardner, Gabrielle Brick, Truth Calkins, and many others who share his success with eating high quality foods and herbs all day long.
Christian Bates partnered with Yogi Suzi and Ancient Sun to create the WildBar, a superfood cacao bar that has been on natural food stores’ shelves nationally for 7 years. “The WildBar is a great way to teach people how to eat and live in a way that is both completely delicious, really fun and densely healthful!”
Christian lives a full life as the man behind Longevity Power, and is a highly engaged & knowledgeable speaker as well as a healthy role model for men and women of all ages. Keep up with him as he lays out “the most uncompromised, highest quality, results-driven, outrageously fun conscious food lifestyle education ever!“

Biomasschuck,
Good work! Of my products I would totally add Maca Bliss and Goji Joy. I’ve made many ferments with them 🙂 Shilajit would also be great. Amount is totally up to your expertise. Check out those products: http://longevitypower.com/products/ Happy fermenting! -Christian
When will the asparagus root be back in stock?
Kindra,
Plan A is mid-May! Just have to get paperwork done on it. Thank you for your patience!

Hi I really would love to know where you got your huge glass jugs for the collecting the spring water. I cannot find these… Thanks so much!
Wow! Need to know more! Thank you.
Mallory, contact your local water store or brew supply shop. Get the 3 gallon glass carboys 🙂
Hi Christian,
I’m writing to ask you about the spring at Stitson Beach.
Would be so grateful to know what you know about it.
My husband told me he read that you tested it. When did you test it? And what were your findings?
Also, can you please tell me where the best/cleanest source and place to fill up is?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
With love xx Sky
Hi Sky!
Here are all the testing details: http://longevitypower.com/red-rock-beach-spring-testing-2013/ Findings were excellent!
It’s the best place to fill up in Marin county, and for a huge portion of the Bay Area is the closest spring. Just filled up 2 days ago!
Enjoy!
What does a typical day of eating look like for u??
hi what method do you use for cleaning the bottles you use to gather spring water? thanks so much
Fiona,
I have 2 carboy cleaning brushes that are easy to find on Amazon or at a hardware store or brew supply shop. During the warm months I’ll occasionally get some algae growing in my jugs so I’ll give ’em a quick scrub with Dr. Bronner’s soap and they’re good to go!
For me, all ketogenic food. Half sweet recipes, half savory meals, with lots of spring water based herbal tonic elixirs! 😀
Hey Christian
Any news if the Red Rock spring is accessible again?
Thanks so much
Madhuri, still a one lane construction zone. You might be able to do a heist somehow. 😉
