    I am reading this book now and have recommended it to many. I went on mostly a meat based carnivore diet for gut health and weightloss , but in addition to those benefits, I did not expect the mental clarity, mood improvement and lack of any anxiety symptoms when worried /concerned about something, especially when I increased my beef fat/collagen intake. I am a female in my 60's. Thanks ladies, your both awesome! Great interview. 😊

    Both my mom and dad’s families came from different parts of Russia (in the early 1900’s) - one from Kiev area and the other from Latvia. I barely got any stories when my grandparents were alive. Never really asked my parents too. Now that they are gone I wish I had. Just like Anita, my dad was very quiet, mom very talkative. I remember the table in our house too. I never had weight issues as a child or a teenager. My mom was always really skinny until she reached menopause and she also had Graves Disease. Dad didn’t find out until he was 60 that he had diabetes. Mom always had him on a diet. She was never on one. So I was always like mom, my sister was like dad in a lot of ways (although she was not heavy, in that way she was like mom.) I didn’t start dieting until I gained weight in college. Mom put me on the I Love NY Diet and the Grapefruit Diet (to this day I hate grapefruit.) I started low carb after childbirth (around 1998??) Still consider myself low carb (lost and gained some of the baby weight over-and-over). I still consider myself a carb addict. Bad thing is I work in a bakery at a supermarket so I am around carbs 5 days a week I try to limit what I buy and eat from there, but I still do eat some of it. Anyway, that is me.

      Thanks for sharing your story with us. Interestingly, my maternal grandmother escaped from the Nazis from Riga, Latvia in 1939 to Canada. My father’s side came from the Kiev area.

  • @helenl7967

    I really enjoyed hearing Anita's story and very much appreciate her willingness to share it and be open with us. I think I had an expectation that the host would be more like a therapist. I wanted to hear more Anita and less from the interviewer. However, I came to realize this was a " conversation" as the channel is titled. Once I had that framework, it was easier to get past what sometimes felt like interruptions. I could very much relate to Anita's experience. Although I am older than she, my mother was a child of immigrants and she experienced family and personal abuse, trauma and poverty in her younger life. Her family were all highly aware of food scarcity and utilized every bit of food. I learned part of her and the family story while my mother was alive but discovered much more about the physical abuse she suffered in her childhood home, after she died. It really explained her anxiety and temper and made me wonder how she could have been as sweet, kind and generous a person as she was, with that past. Understanding her life, helped me have compassion for her and not focus on all the psychological gaps that I felt needed to be filled. My father was 25 yrs older than my mom and he was an immigrant to the US. He lived through WW1 and WW2 though he only served briefly in WW1. He and his family were very entrepreneurial and very close to one another supporting and loving each other. There was a sense of struggle for sure and being grateful for what we had growing up. And we (my siblings and I ) all knew it was a result of our parents very hard work and efforts and strong family ties. We saw it in our entire family. Both my parents' families were loving, hard working, emotional and loved food. Food was celebration as well daily sustenance and it was plentiful. We never felt a sense of scarcity but did receive the message repeatedly that we didn't know what it meant to lack or be hungry. I think what was unsaid or unrecognized was the reality the people need to fed with more than food. Even with love and security, our beings need and or want certain things that we don't get from our parents. That is what becoming an adult is about for me. It means being open to understanding my own feelings and needs and being compassionate and respectful of others. As long as my mind is sharp, I hope to continue to learn and evolve as a person. I often fall flat and go off course, and that is all part of the journey too. I am very grateful for your work here. And wish you every success. I trust many will be helped by your efforts and the open space you are creating for dialogue about the emotional, mental, and spiritual parts of our lives. 🎉

    This was so relatable. I'm grateful Anita was able to reach a point of peace, understanding, and forgiveness. Fortunately, my own parents, now in their mid eighties, are finally able to say the things I longed to hear when I was younger--words of affection and validation. And I've lived long enough to see that we're each doing the best we can at the moment. ❤

    As a HSP, I've been told I might be on the autism or ADHD spectrum because things like sound/light/environment are "too much" at times and I prefer having 1:1's over a group. How are all these things differentiated (HSP, low-spectrum autism/ADHD) and how can one know for sure if it is one and not the other? Might there be there overlaps? I suspect talking to multiple doctors and taking multiple tests might be the best way, but curious if you have any thoughts on this. ❤

    Great conversation! I am also a hsp male. But i don't agree on the fact that masculinity and femininity is social construct. I think it's more of an energy that people have the exists in the nature and whats masculine energy and what's feminine energy can't be changed because it's based in nature. Isn't it possible to be man that accepts that he has a feminine side which is the sensitive side and still have some traditional masculinity like courage, leadership, strenght, independence without surpressing your sensitivity? I think it's possible. I understand though that it can get toxic if you have too much masculinity and no femininity, never allowed to be vulnerable and never seek any healthcare but I still think you can have some traditional masculinity and accept your sensitivity.

    It's hard to exist in a world that's so loud, annoying, smelly, toxic, reactive, harsh - a world driven by competition and capitalism. All I want is for it to be quiet and to not have people bother me....but that in itself seems like avoidant behavior...isolating oneself seems to be a bit unhealthy, no?
