Khalil Rafati is an American motivational speaker, author, and Health and wellness Entrepreneur. He is the Founder of SunLife Organics and author of I Forgot to Die, the tale of his descent into drug addiction while working with Celebrities in Hollywood in the 1990s.

Khalil Rafati went to Los Angeles, California in the 1990s and had it all. He was working with Hollywood movie stars and legendary rock musicians, but it wasn't long before he found his way into the dark underbelly of the City of Angels. When he hit rock bottom addicted to heroin and cocaine, overtaken by paranoia and psychosis, written off by his friends and family he grabbed a shovel and kept digging. At 33, Khalil was 109 pounds, a convicted felon, high school dropout, and homeless junkie living on the infamous Skid row in downtown Los Angeles, California.

Rafati became dedicated to his health and sobriety, but the real moment his life changed was when a friend introduced him to juicing and superfoods.

Rafati then began making his own juices for patients and staff at the Riviera Recovery Center, a sober living house he opened in Malibu in 2007.

It was there he created a smoothie he dubbed the Wolverine, a date and banana concoction that would eventually become Sun Life's signature drink.
