Ok so I'm 14yrs vegetarian and losing hair, tired all the time, anaemic and now starting to lose muscle mass! So glad I found your video as it's given me that final push that I needed. Thank you 🙏 Very informative and honest. Can I ask how you reintroduced meat?
Oh I'm so glad I could help! I reintroduced meat very slowly, and started with fish and eggs, but I recommend researching online the best ways to reintroduce meat as I was vegan for a much shorter time frame
Mare, start by adding bone broth into dishes. Easy recipe is bones baked for 20 minutes in the oven and then put into water to slow cook for at least 24 hours. Just add salt. Leave in the marrow. Strain into bottles and store refrigerated for a few days as you use it. This is a 2 fold good way to start eating animals whether vegetarian, vegan, including never having eaten any animals or animal products. 1. It allows the body to acclimate easily, 2. It will give you the b vitamins, iron, and amino acid sequencing that has been missing in your diet which without has slowly been killing you, along with all of those great minerals! We recommend bison for many reasons. 1. It has overall the MOST nutrients of any animals, 2. It’s humanely raised and if you source it well, humanely harvested, and not allowed grains, fattening agents, hormones, antibiotics, 3. Bison are kin in N. America with a reciprocal relationship to humans that is spiritually powerful. Our part in the reciprocity is to give them a place to roam, eat, and increase their numbers, and so also to treat them with respect and to use all of their bodies for food and other uses without waste. As you get well, add a tiny bit of glandular of different glands to your dishes, especially dishes using ground meats. The first time I had buffalo heart, I felt my heart energy in such a palpable way, I knew I was in tune with earth and was myself becoming much stronger than if I were taking in only plants. I was forced to grow up vegetarian and startled eating animals in my 20’s. I felt so good when I ate some chicken for the first time, even better when I had some beef however nothing has been as good for my body and mind as eating bison. I also visit bison near me and thank them. Presently I eat lamb from NZ, whey from Ireland, Bison from USA and Canada, wild salmon from Alaska, oysters and mussels from PEI, sheep and goat cheese, goat milk (flash pasteurized and not homogenized), organic eggs (fertile preferred), and a wide variety of vegetables, fruits (fresh and dried), nuts, seeds, grains, beans, legumes, sprouts, herbs and roots. Keep in mind that detoxing from toxic chemicals is also needed even if you eat organic. In part healthy eating helps but more may be needed. Always use gentle methods. Enjoy your healing.
@@ToddDouglasFox oh fantastic suggestions, thank you for sharing x
@@VanessaDixon Mountain Valley Spring water and virgin coconut water and oil are other important factors in my diet and recs..
@@VanessaDixon how are you doing?
I got unhealthy trying to go vegan, so I had to add meat back into my diet too. At the same time I was readjusting my diet, I read about a woman who almost died from losing the ability to eat vegtables. Her road back to life was to drink veg broth, the work her way up to cooked veg, the moved onto meat broth, and the meat itself. It was a big alert warning to be careful to care for our bodies' needs, which is to eat proper food. Blessing our food with respectful appreciation for the gift of the food that is being given to us, that we may have life. Is a very good way to thank God for the important sacrifice of food.
Oh I so agree, it's so important to appreciate and be grateful for the food we are blessed with.
My house is surrounded by water and grasslands with cows. In the spring I see plenty of nests with many small birds. I see that within a month few young birds are still alive. They are eaten by fish and birds. Their life is tough. The cows are always grazing happily and without stress. Cows don't have a bad life on their green grasslands.
I so agree, the cows seem very happy out on the grasslands of farms I've had the pleasure of passing
I went vegan for only 1 year and lost half my hair and became insulin resistant. Then I watched “Fat Fiction” and started to turn my health around. Thanks for this video!
Oh wow I'm so glad your health has improved so much! I think like any eating plan, veganism may work for some but it's not for everyone. I haven't seen fat fiction, it sounds really interesting, I must give it a watch 😍
Cool story Wendy
People bodies are not the same when eating a vegan diet, choose a diet that work for you, Animal Products such as meat dairy eggs fish has higher amino acids then plant protein, you have to eat so much more to get those amino acids its more challenging, what matters you look good,
Great video. Keep on learning and sharing.
Keep doing you xx
I was vegan for 7 years....been off it for 2 months.
I got really sick & developed 2 autoimmune disease... unfortunately the vegan diet is not for everyone..
Awww thank you 💕
Oh how have you felt since going off the vegan diet? Has it helped with your health?
@@VanessaDixon feel normal again. My anxiety & depression have minimized, no more aches & pains, no more fatigue & limited energy, hair is growing back etc... I could go on. Funny thing is my blood work was on point & read high in Iron, B12 & Omega-3s. But I lost all my muscle mass & had no energy.
@@teganwarrior wow that's so interesting. I'm really glad to hear you've had so many improvements from the change in diet! That's such great news 😊
@@VanessaDixon thanks Hun, I'm completely blown away also.
Difficult to change ones innermost beliefs, but you have done it. Life is all about learning. Glad to see you don't follow the crowd, but work to better yourself.
Aww thank you so so much, that really means a lot ♥
Doesn't eating meat mean that you're following the crowd? Most people eat meat.
This is absolutely FANTASTIC ness!!!
Awwww thank you so much Meg! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so so so much for watching ❤
You summed up my rabbid hole research on veganism in a signle video.
I hope you're doing well :)
Oh thank you ❤️ I am thanks, I hope you're well too x
Well done!
Everyone is different of course, but research looking at large numbers of people have shown that vegans live, on average, 5 years longer than meat eaters. So it works well for many people.
That's very interesting, what study was this I'd love to read more about it?
Vegans are probably more likely to be health conscious as a result of needing to supplement. If compared to someone eating a standard American diet, of course they'll live longer.
You had a lot of courage making this video and learning about the science. Well done.
Oh thank you ❤️ that means a lot 😍
Fantastic and comprehensive video! Well done
I love how your calm, reasoned research led you to a healthier lifestyle for yourself.
Awww thank you Keeley ❤ I really appreciate that.
Homemade vegetable soup is good for you
I think everybody should reduce their meat intake but not completely remove it from your diet.
I made a nice bowl of chicken soup and wondered why it tasted so awful. Then I realised there was not pieces of chicken in it. 😂
Chicken soup without chicken is bloody horrible. 😋
What worries me about plants and fruits is the types of herbicides, fungacides and other chemicals.
12 in Australia have been banned in America and Europe.
Apparently we still use them which is scary.
Imagine consuming deadly toxic chemicals so powerful farmers have air tight tractors and totally avoid the off gassing of deadly herbicide for weeks.
If you listen to Ted Nugents rant then he explains how he poisons every living animal on his farm.
You dont want rabbits eating your carrots which means they need to die.
I think we should all go back to our own vege gardens.
At least that way we have some choice over how we kill bugs 🐛
Anyway glad to hear you're feeling bettet after switching back to meat, eggs and snaggs.
Gezzez your body must have had an orgasm after a day or two. 😂
I mean a nice steak is just so tasty. 😋
I so agree! It'd be much better if everyone grew their own little garden, just like you said, as you would be in control of what went on the plants 💚
I was vegan for 8 years, been off for 8 months 🙏
Oh wow! Have you noticed any differences since you stopped being vegan?
Same history here, almoast 9,5 years of being vegan strait.. I like that Vanessa is not appologizing for quitting veganism. Please, never apologize for returning to nature, to who we are. Never apologize for eating what our digestive system has adapted to over millions of years of evolution. Consuming plants exclusively has only occurred periodically throughout human history, never for an entire lifetime. Me myself I also ignored basic knowledge that it was the period of many millions of years during which our ancestors began to hunt and evolved into hunters that significantly impacted the development of the human brain. Consuming high-calorie meat and animal fats had a direct influence on our evolution and made us who we are today - humans.
Best video on the subject 🎉
Awwww thank you!
being vegan can cause sooo many issues in the long term. So glad you've come out of it (:
Yes it's amazing how many vegans have had health troubles from eating only plants for too long.
Animals should never be given soy...but, it's given and ultimately creates a terrible quality of animal meat!
Yes! So true!
sausages are too yummy to give up!! 🤤
Very good and informative video. You've done alot of research and it shows. My wife had been a vegetarian for many years before I met her. It inpart took a toll on her health. Her doctor told that she needed to eat meat or it was likely that she would not live. She is doing better, but there's many years of damaging effects from been a vegetarian. If you happen to watch keto/carnivore channels, it seems many former vegans go back to eating meat in the 4-6 year range due to health issues on a vegan diet.
Your bicycle video on "being car free" popped up my suggestions list. "Not Just Bikes" and "Shifter" are a couple of good bike and infrastructure channels.
Yes, so true. I've heard similar about many ex vegans switching to a carnivore diet, and I can understand why, as meat provides many more nutrients in a bioavailable form which the body is able to absorb better. I really hope your wife makes a full recovery and is well again soon. Oh thank you so much for the recommendations on biking channels, I'll check them out!
Meat is good survival food. Once you have choice you choose what is good for the body.
Vegan foods aren’t necessarily bad, if you eat out of nutrient dense land. Also vegan recipies I see are so poor, I feel Indian recipies, especially southern Indian recipies are whata complete vegetarian ot vegan meals should be.
it's about souls not individual self preoccupation being vegan is not a fashion
Beautiful message. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Here's to good health with animal products!
Awww thank you. I really appreciate your support
14% is still a lot of pollution
All the commenters look like they love the video because they are hearing good things about their bad habits😅
You can continue to be upset. Meat has great nutritional value and vegan diets aren't free of animal death.
Watch dominion and understand what you've started paying for again
One should also solder where the supplements come from.. and it’s cost and associated carbon footprint to develop them…
Vanessa, don't you know? You did it wrong!😂
Yo Ness just got onto your vids because I saw you went car free, well done, to me that’s the most interesting thing about you and why I watched your videos.
However I saw in one of your last videos that you were considering buying a car and I have a suggestion….
Instead of buying a car maybe look into hiring one like only when you require it that way you won’t need to pay any of the overheads like rego and maintenance.
Cars are shit, sure they give us a lot of freedom but they also take away a lot of freedoms by giving us too much convenience.
Also I don’t mean to be an asshole but biking will be easier with a balanced diet, when you exercise you need carbs and there’s no vegan diet that can match what you get from meat.
Thank you so much Luke, I really appreciate the advice. Car hiring is something I'm definitely looking into. I agree, nutrients in meat are more bioavailable for us than eating a vegan diet, which is one of the reasons I went back to eating meat again.
The Mediterranean diet is a good idea you do not seem to be following that diet you are eating too much process meat if you are determined to eat meat it should be a small amount of free range chicking or something like that

Don't loose you ability to digest meat, which can happen if one goes vegan too long. It was good of you to become a healthy role model! Thanking God for the food before eating helpedb
Yes, it's so important to appreciate the food we receive beforehand, and to appreciate how it got to our plate
Good work, and you have an open mind. BTW, I'm still a carnivore...doing great.
Haha awww thank you! Oh I'm so glad to hear you're doing well
as far i no our bodies and minds work all the same so if a diet works for one person but not another then that will because theres something going on in the body stress trauma etc all effect our cells which can cause health issues i wish people would stop believing that diet is the only cause of ill health people who eat meat have health probelms and people on a plant based diet have health problems but its a weak video but i respect your decision
Your inability to construct a proper sentence speaks to your lack of education. 74% of vegans abandon the cult and the most cited reason is negative health consequences.
Most vegans go back to meat most carnivores keto turn vegan. Because the body tends to need both. However I believe the body goes through seasons needs … there’s a time when vegan is appropriate and same with meat eating .
So you were vegan for selfish reasons?
That a weird question
@@hassanas.benjamin3818 even though I used a question mark, it was more of a statement than a question. If you’re truly vegan, you do it for the animals. And if you run into any health issues, you are more diligent in finding out the cause, rather than take the easy way out and go back to consuming animal products. If you decide to try a vegan diet for selfish reasons, like for your health, you are way more likely to abandon it if you hit some bumps in the road.
@@perkarmblad I got it.
So disappointing. You've fed into the carnist lies.
Good to hear that you've stepped off the depopulation train. HFLC for the win!👍
Hahaha yes! Love HFLC
L. Video shpuld be titled "Why I'm again paying for animal rights to be abused"
Cry me a river
Love the vegan virtue signaling. There is nothing immoral about eating the foods we were created to eat. BTW, animals don't have rights.
@@tinknal6449 do they feel pain and suffer? Fear of dying? Grieve?
@@mariafamilia5551 Yes, no, and no. What is your point? Even if the answer to all 3 were yes it still doesn't make it immoral. It's also entirely possible to consume meat without causing suffering or pain.
@@tinknal6449 you're delusional.
There are scam elements to the green energy con-job, yes. But even so, you are paying people to hurt animals. I find that very disappointing. You don't care about an animal getting hung upside down and its neck sliced open, so I'm sure you don't care about my disappointment, which is nothing in comparison. With that said, I'm unsubscribing.
Bye. =)
@@NN-oc4nw Thank you. You cared enough to respond, N N (even if you're being dismissive in your reply). I will compliment you on that. She, on the other hand, has only responded to those people who have offered her approval and validation.
if you are selective about where you buy your meat, that is the key to a more humane diet.
Each of us in our own countries need to diligently regain the power of oversight for the safety and well-being of the people and the animals and the foods they consume. Be it plant or animal, a healthy food supply is essential. One of the most unhealthy things to consume would be food from an animal that has been under stress. Our food supply in all its forms became unhealthy when it became big business profit margin focused only, which had no concern for the soil, animals, and the people. Pray and seek ways to take back the responsibility for the well-being of all those concerned. It was a hostile takeover of robber baron money makers that placed us all in a vulnerable position, we were decieved, and became compliant to their unhealthy demands. They used marketing to cover up the huge lack of healthy techniques. Now, we need to clearly define what healthy techniques mean, now we need to reclaim our responsibilities, as best we can.
@@gingerhenna9445 Agree wholeheartedly
Truly the utmost love and respect queen ❤️💛💚😑👊🏾
First I wanna thank U for being such a genuine and beautiful humane being, I love all the natural videos and home made products videos U share! some I have been doing for years, while others I am chomping at the bit to try (I’ve been wanting to make candles 🕯️ for such a long time) 🙏🏾
I hope most people will understand that your choices are your choices, and seemingly U make very “health conscious” decisions based on facts, your heart and what’s best for your life ♥️
Thanks again for sharing your journey and knowledge w/the U n I verse we need that beautiful amazing vibe always 🙌🏾
Oh my goodness thank YOU so much Scott, this message has truly made my whole entire day
