Hi guys! I'm excited to answer some frequently asked questions today and share some fun family photos and video clips from traveling Antarctica, Thailand, Bali and Kenya. Making this video now lit a fire under me to book my next adventure. Where should I go next?? And good luck on the giveaway. xo - Lisa
Thank you so much Lisa for your effort you put into all your videos. I really look forward to them. My favourite one so far was your kitchen gadgets that you can't live without. That was fun. Love seeing your clean, neat and tidy kitchen and wish, some day, my kitchen could be clean, neat and tidy haha :) I'm trying, ok?!? :)
Literally born 1 year apart. Thank you for inspiring me. It's not possible for me to achieve what you have with your health *at the moment* but it gives me hope. I have multiple autoimmune diseases and in fact nearly everything you listed as well. I truly believe nourishing my body in every sense is THE only answer. And I cannot wait to be able to slowly adapt my kitchen and lifestyle to better serve my body and spirit x
Ps Maldives? I know it's cliche but at some point it will be under water. It's so beautiful. Or the Greek Isles.
Best of luck Marzigeisha and wonderful suggestions re. the Maldives or Greek islands. I'd like to suggest Canada and specifically Quebec and the Laurentiens, just because I'm from Quebec :) and partial to my area. It's really beautiful. But the mosquitoes are fierce in the summer.
Debbie Staneland Quebec sounds wonderful x
Happy to hear you enjoyed that kitchen gadgets video Debbie! And yes, slowly but surely you'll get there. ;)
Yesss we stan a single woman who is happy and confident on her own!!
I was about to unsubscribe then I listened to this vid and realized we have alot in common that's live at 41 you are doing what's needed , thank you. be well.
To “stan” is to idolize.
Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
Colossians 3:8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
@@lilyjr.1384 what is to stan?
Why do you choose to be single
Hi Lisa, I was searching for spice drawer organization and watched your video. Since then, (2 weeks ago), I've watched dozens and dozens of your videos. Well, I've done a major organization, tossed away plastics and non-stick, bought All Clad, glass lock and stasher bags. I've tried several of your recipes, did meal prep and took a 30 foot trailer of stuff to the dump. You have honestly inspired me and my life is changing quickly. I've started a Pilates program too. I'm very grateful for your channel Lisa. I'm 62 and was feeling so frustrated in my disorganized life but didn't have the will to change - it's been so freeing to me. Thank you!
You are what I imagine a real life Greek goddess Hera to be like
I’m 36 I’m single I’m happy I’m more conscious about my body and diet from this point, so much to learn from you, thank you
Inspirational !
A google search for 'perfect boiled eggs' and 2 hrs later getting to know you. Productive day for me !
Sarath J I searched chia pudding and here I am, too! 😊
Same LOL I watched the poached eggs video
Watched waffle videos and here i am
She's amazing ! She has helped me so much to keep healthy and learn so much
That's so funny because I did exactly the same this morning and found her too. Big kiss to Google algorithm 😂
You are horrible when it comes to any sort of beauty routine.......??
You must be kidding,not only your personality,You look ABSOLUTELY gorgeous 💛!!!!
I even like how you speak (I am Japanese and your English is so clear and easy to understand foreign subscribers like me❤)
BTW thank you for drinking Maccha in proper way as we do,I am so happy!!! Arigato💛
Oh, you are too kind! But thank you so much! And yes, I much prefer to make matcha with the bamboo whisk than in my blender. It's almost meditative....and it helps me slow down in the morning. :) x
Great video! I’m 31, about to start nursing school (I aim to be a travel nurse), and I couldn’t be more appreciative to come across another successful, independent, single woman who values life, travel, self care, and health. You are such an inspiration! Also, I just so happened to watch this video in 2021 when my cousin is turning 40 and her birthday is August 31st ☺️ She’s independent, successful, and beautiful like you. I’m a new subscriber to your channel and have yet to see a video I haven’t saved to my “recipes” or “health” playlist. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing life changing information! ❤️
I adore your content and your class and transparency !! Thank you for giving this gift.
Nice! I always enjoy listening to experiences. This one felt like a TED talk actually. I love the sophistication in your videos and the fact that you literally reply to all your comments.
Ah, and congratulations for the 100k mark! Way to go. Cheers!
Thanks so much Hemant for your kind words! And wow, I'll take that TED compliment (especially as I'd be petrified to ever do a TED talk - ha!). ;)
Lisa is my sorority sister and she is just an amazing person.
So nice to get to know you better, Lisa! Have a lovely week!
Thanks so much Marina! You too!
You lead a beautiful life ❤
I work in corporate marketing and live in Manhattan. Before accidentally watching one of your meal prep videos a couple weeks ago, I don't think I'd ever used my kitchen. Texted my friend the other day saying I'm making cashew milk and she thought my phone was stolen. You've definitively helped me become less reliant on Seamless and now I'm actually thinking about what it means to eat healthily. Your recipes are so appealing and simple it's hard not to try. Real life is messy and not all food channels acknowledge that enough. Keep up the good work, Lisa!
Yay, congrats on your first batch of cashew milk Avi! That's wonderful you're trying new things and thinking about what it means to be healthy. Truly, it's just about taking lots of baby steps that add up over time. So keep at it! And so funny about your friend thinking your phone got stolen as well! 😂 It's good to keep our friends on their toes. Ha!
it’s been 3days since i found your channel and i’m binge watching all day!! you have a quality and great content!! and you being 41(now 42) is amazing 😭😭 you look like you are 30 wow!
I like every single bit of this video and I'm so happy you're happy ☺ and the love that fills up your family shows up so much in your words and your eyes ☺
You are such an inspiration. 😭 I love you.
I love how you show your human side and I can totally relate to you. This is a lifestyle not a diet. I love a lot of your tips.
It's so nice to get to know you on a more personal level. Thank you for sharing. I love your channel for its aesthetically pleasing and informative content, but most importantly it's your charismatic and humble personality that makes it so unique. Looking forward to your new posts, Lisa!
Thanks so much Anna! You're too kind. :) x
What a beautiful life you have lived and are living! Yas, loved that you bought yourself your own ring :)
It was so great to learn more about you and your family! Thanks for sharing. 😊
I love your story. It is wonderful. I do agree that a kitchen is never clean and no one can keep it clean as it might look on youtube, just by puting things away after you cook is what generally works. Thank you for your story and tips
It's so nice to get to know you, Lisa :) You are so happy and energetic person ...
It's always so cool to learn more about the people i'm subscribed to on youtube! Loved this video!
Yay! Happy you loved it. :) x
You are so relatable and I am grateful you found your way to your blogs and UA-cam channel. Your information is invaluable to me as I navigate a few medical issues myself.
Thank you sooo much for sharing your story!! Its so wonderful of you to put your life out there for others to know. I’ve always felt that it creates a sense of community so people don’t feel alone in their journeys.
Thanks so much for your kind words Suzy! I'm very fortunate with this community that's developed here on Downshiftology. :) x
Love the meal prep videos of all this healthy, fresh food! As a single 32 year old I also love that you are enjoying life & who you are. What a great reminder to us all. I also spent a year in Indonesia, my favorite place on the planet. 😉Thanks for opening up!
I literally so happy that I found your channel. I love it
I'm so glad you're enjoying all my content so far!
I've been following your blog for a while now and absolutely love your videos. Thanks for the positivity.
Thanks so much!
Woop woop so exciting! Congrats on 100k you so deserve it! I’ve learned so much from you!
Thanks so much! And yay, so happy to hear that!
You are such a beautiful inspiration! Thank you. 👏👌💯💐
I’m so glad to have found you! I’m off of gluten and all inflammatory foods right now (just for 3 weeks) to give my gut a rest, and I’m endeavoring to adopt a healthier lifestyle and meal plan! My biggest concern is getting my 2 toddlers on board. If you have any advice to that point... let me know!
You have such a positive vibe, thanks so much for sharing and for all you do!!! 😊🤗
Thanks so much Suzette! :) x
I’m new to your channel but super inspired by you. Your travels and struggles with food are very relatable to me. I’m very thankful for all the info you are providing!
Thanks so much Jessica for your kind words! And glad that my story resonated. Welcome to the community! :) x
I love your channel! All your videos have a strangely calming effect and I could listen to you talk for hours. I also really love your meal prep videos! Definitely gonna start eating healthier. Thanks so much for making these wonderful and amazing videos. Sending love from Singapore!
Thanks so much Lynette! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos. :) x
I am in love with your channel. I just found you yesterday, immediately subscribed, and started binge watching. Thank you for what you do. I was diagnosed with celiacs about a month ago and am still learning about it and relearning how to cook. Everything I’ve tried to make gluten free so far has tasted awful but seeing your videos gives me hope. I can’t wait to try them out.
This was beyond inspirational, thank you for all your hard work and kindness to share your knowledge!!
Thanks so much Taylor!!
This is one of my favorite videos! I loved learning more about you and seeing pics of your family. You look a lot like your Mom. Your Dad looked like the sweetest man and if I could I would have reached through this screen and given him a huge hug!
I loved hearing about your traveling adventures. You are really an inspiration to me. You have worked hard, overcome huge obstacles and used them as an opportunity to learn, grow, and help others!!
Sending good thoughts to you and your family from South Carolina. Thanks for sharing all your awesome videos, tips, recipes, and kindness!! 🌸🏵️🌻🥑🍅🍍🌎🌞💖💙💜
Aww, thank so much - I truly appreciate that! And yes, my parents are pretty special people. Big hugs to you as well! :) x

Thank you for believing in the channel (and me) when it was smaller. :) So happy to have you in the community for this wonderful journey. ❤️
I love this video!!! I appreciate your honesty and how you don’t describe yourself to a specific diet, just what works for you and your symptoms! I have been watching your videos to get ideas for healthier snacks and meal prepping.
Everyone's body is different so I never want to specify on a specific diet. But just to always use clean and wholesome ingredients when cooking 😊
I just found your channel this week and I so appreciate you and your authenticity. You’ve given me new ideas with my kitchen and recipe. Thank you for being you
Thanks so much Noreen for your kind words! And glad you have some new ideas. :) x
YAY! You're welcome, thanks to you. I've been enjoying your videos, but most of all the things I've learned, what I loved it more was the video you did recently, about how to preserve the avocado for longer. Thanks for your recommendations and advice on simple and healthy meals! You motivate me to keep eating healthy. I hope I can win the Vitamin blender and keep making you amazing recipes! 😊
So glad you enjoyed that video! Best of luck to you on the giveaway! :) x
It's been AMAZING to watch your journey and see you build this thing! Congrats, Lisa!
Thanks so much Chad! It's amazing how the journey has morphed over the last couple of year, huh? ;)
You tube introduced me to you and I am so glad! I have always struggled physically with mysterious symptoms and while I have never been diagnosed with anything autoimmune, once I changed my diet the symptoms went away. Your eating habits mirror mine as well as give me new ideas of cooking the ingredients I love. Thank you!
You totally inspire me 🤗 👏🏻👏🏻 I want to be like you! 🙏🏻 love your videos.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Goodness...I have so many things to say. First of all, like always, this video is stunning. It's like each video gets better and better. Secondly, I love you even more now after getting to know you (hope that's not weird lol). I love how down to earth you are, so intelligent, well-rounded and creative. You've built this community of equally wonderful people that are so supportive of you and each other. I'm SO glad that I found your channel. It's honestly just a matter of time before you hit 500k and we are all celebrating that with you. Thank you so much for all of your fabulous and original content. Cheers to 100k (and soon to be 500k) 👏🥂😊
Oh gosh Tia, I don't even know what to say in reply to your kind words, except thank you THANK YOU! I truly appreciate your support and I'm bursting with gratitude for your positivity on my channel. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that 500K mark and then we can definitely celebrate together! 🙏💕
Downshiftology Absolutely! I think it's important for us to givd you feedback. I hope that just like you, we can also inspire you to keep pushing, doing exceptional things, and following your wellness journey. I give it about six months until you get to 500k 😊
If I hit 500K in 6 months I'll definitely ship you a bottle of wine. Ha! Or a jar of matcha. Your choice. ;) x
@@Downshiftology getting there with the 500K!
Tia Barnes same as me , I feel it also , right person
Thank you so much for opening up and sharing your journey. I really enjoyed this video and all your videos!
Happy to hear that Arian!
I was so excited to come home and see you posted a new video! Such an amazing giveaway! Thanks for posting what was in your matcha at the beginning of the video! Can't wait for your next video! Keep up the amazing work! You are such a wonderful inspiration!
Yay - I'm happy that you're excited! Thanks so much Ashley!
Not a lot of people would share thier personal story to complete strangers, but I'm glad that you did. A little spark of admiration ignited a flame of passion and curiosity I thought I had lost, and for that I thank you. I admire your honesty and bravery, and I wish you the best in your future, you truly deserve it.
P.S. although I just reached 30, I still act like a 10 year old with my brothers and sisters, it's just fun that way hahaha!
Thanks so much Fahad! And yes, siblings always bring out the best in us. Haha. ;)
I'm a new subscriber and you've already stole my heart :') you're so adorable! Have a blessed day!! 🙏💖
Aww, thanks so much Letty! :) x
Your energy is so beautiful. Thank you for all your videos- you are a true inspiration to us all. Much love to you. ❤️
Zoo glad I've found your channel. You're obviously an amazing person and your channel is a great inspiration!
Aww, thanks so much! I really appreciate that!
Loved your recent meal prep video!
Thank you! I've got another one coming soon. :)
Me too, this is by far my most favourite video on the chanel, have watched it at least 10 times.
I know it's strange but watching this video made me want to seat with you drinking coffee at some cafe and listen to all your travel stories. And I do want to win, already enter too 😘😘😘 thanks for doing this.
And I love meeting up in cafes around the world! ;) Best of luck on the giveaway!
Thank you for sharing your stories!! Discovered this channel today and now I'm in love hahaha
So happy to hear that! Thanks Sarah! :) x
You've inspired me to organize my kitchen and meal prep💖Your videos are so beautifully done I find them therapeutic..thank you!
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
I’m a new subscriber so this was a great intro to meet you, thank you. I’m sure I’m not the first to say it... but I hope you meet someone soon or have met someone (if that’s what you want of course)! Whoever they are will be so lucky to have such an intelligent and naturally beautiful woman. I am the same age as you and married at 38 And now I’m perimenopausal with no children. I never thought I’d not have children! Best wishes to you 💖💖
I came here today after watching your 9 ingredient meal prep vlog....I would love to see more esp vegetarian and winter type meals...I find it difficult to find tasty recipe ideas, esp without mushrooms (allergy)
I've got another meal prep coming up very soon!
Girl power!!! You are amazing and so inspiring.
I feel in love with your channel and your channel has helped me keep in encourage to eating healthy and keep meal prep!! Thank you so much for the videos!!!! Your a very beautiful and confident woman!!!!
It was such a pleasure to know you better. Love your videos. I've already entered the international giveaway, the price is just what I need (and my birthday just around the corner :).
Thanks so much Natasa! Good luck. And happy early birthday! x
Thank you for sharing your story :) What an amazing and inspiring woman!
Thanks so much! :) x
Thanks for sharing your story! Life has its own way of putting us where we should be despite our efforts to be elsewhere. A health issue two years ago forced me to change my life and I couldn't be more thankful it happened to me. Thanks for inspiring us!
It sure does! Thanks Graciela!
You are such a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing and for being an inspiration!
Aww, thank YOU for being part of this wonderful community. :) x
OK you got me at "no special diet for all" part. I subscribed looking forward to all your videoz
Yes, absolutely! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Wow, you’re such an inspiration!
Congrats on your 100k! 👏🏼
Thanks so much Ana! :) x
I relate to your story. Mine was the same curve, on a shorter timeline. I worked hard in school, I burned out, I developed an illness, I travelled while healing my symptoms, and I came back to begin my new lifestyle of eating clean, exercising daily and sleeping much more
I just found you and you’ve inspired me so much! I have a serious autoimmune with psoriatic arthritis and it’s ravaging my whole body. I’m not going to get on meds yet I’m going to try following your recipes for 30 days to see how I feel. Thank you so much and God bless you today
i’d really like you to talk about your time in afghanistan :)
And can you please make a afghan cooking video?
Perhaps in a future video. ;)
please talk more about the endo and how diet change affected it
You’re admirable and such an inspiration. I have Hashimoto’s and while I know that watching my food is the best way to feel good, I frequently fall off the wagon. Your videos and Instagram account are becoming a great help for me. Much love to you from Colombia
You are so lovable, the prep videos had been so helpful
Enjoy your videos. Hope to win the knife set. Keep up the awesome work. XO from Toronto, Canada.
Thanks so much Sharon! :) x
I have a daughter that's allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (actually all nuts). Could you possibly do a video with a few recipes as I would really appreciate that. Thank you!!
I'll add that to my list. Also, make sure to check out my website as you can sort by nut-free recipes. :)
Ok thank you!!
You seem such a lovely, intelligent and educated lady. I wish you to have someone equally special like you in your life to enjoy adventures together.
It was so inspiring to watch this video. I am always so proud of being a woman because of women like you. Thank you for all you do. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝
Loving your content from Auckland NZ!!! Absolutely over the moon apon finding your channel and love how humble and sweet you are!! Excited to see more and get to know you better :) keep up the amazing work
Thanks so much Michaela! And you're from my motherland - yay! Hope you continue to enjoy my recipes and videos. :) x
You look a lot younger and brite 👏💦 I love your recipes and I can't wait to see a video of a birthday cake on your channel 🎂
Where have you been all my life? Complete admiration for you. When I grow up I want to be like you. ♥️
Aww, thanks so much!
You are inspiring! 💜
So nice to get to know you a little better, Lisa! I so enjoy your videos and recipes!
Thanks so much Gail! Happy to hear you enjoy my recipes and videos - yay!
100% respect
It looks like you have interesting karma and purpose here on earth!
Thank you for sharing of yourself with us. You're so inspiring!
Thank you so much! x
It was so fun learning about you. Great Q&A vlog. I also love the fact that you live not all that far from me. We are blessed in CA with great produce. Loving what I'm learning from you.
You’re 41! I thought you were in your early 30s 😫😍😙
Hi my 13th birthday is on may10
Happy birthday!!
Downshiftology thank you
Happy birthday! Turning 13 is a special milestone - enjoy your year! 🎂🎁🎈🎉
Hapie bday🎂🎂
Gbu.. enjoy
You are so beautiful, inspiring and intelligent. I look up to you in so many ways and I’m so happy you’re doing well here on UA-cam. You deserve everything good that happens for you. Cheers on 100k, Lisa!
Thanks so much Soraya for your kind words! Big hugs. :) x
I'm loving all your videos, very inspiring. I hope you do another Q&A video soon. Blessings.
Thank you! Will do!
You are an inspiration. Keep going, Lisa!
Aw, thanks so much Stephanie!
You have lived the dream life! Traveling also sets my soul on fire ☺️🔥
I am so happy to find your channel Lisa. I am also dealing with Hashimoto's so I'm always looking for good gluten free meal options. I love your videos.
Thanks so much Astha! :) x
Obsessed with your channel!!!!! The answer to your question about which diet is best is what makes me believe you are very genuine on what you preach. There are so many people out there promoting this or that diet, but everything in life is a balance and we are all unique. Love it!!!!!
Thanks so much Daryl! 😊Here at Downshiftology, we're all about balance and to understand that everybody's body is different.
