    No problem, Tish! I remember early on when I began watching your vids that you stated clearly you were exploring intuitive cooking/eating. At the time you happened to be plant based, but you are continually listening to what your body/intuition are telling you! This decision is completely in alignment with that. Respect!

    I really appreciate finding a channel and person promoting plant-based cooking and nutrition that isn’t promoting an all-or-nothing approach. It’s very refreshing and I appreciate you giving those of us disinterested in strict eating regimes and diets a permission slip to do what feels best for us. I’m a new subscriber and I’m off to buy your e-books. Thanks Tish!!

    First I have to say, BEEN THERE. My teeth were falling apart (among may other things, my depression was UNREAL) and even then I didn’t clock in because of my denial. When I did clock in it was a little too late because it was so much damage already done. But what I will say, better late than never. Still grateful to have come to the realisation that life isn’t black and white and BALANCE is the underlying concept in all things. We love you, let whatever haters go elsewhere. They didn’t care about YOU if in such a difficult time they’ll argue how wrong you are. Let them go elsewhere, there are people here who love and support you, regardless.

    The abuse in some of these comments is inappropriate. Tish is having very serious health issues. I too had a serious B12 deficiency at the end of 2015. I was severely anaemic. I had issues with cognitive impairment. I almost died. Literally. I still have issues with malabsorption due to having no stomach acid. I'm also lactose intolerant. I broke two molars and had issues with bleeding gums. My doctor told me to eat organ meats and red meat regularly, as well as taking supplements. I have no Intrinsic Factor so I have to have my B12 injected every 7 weeks. *Supplements can only do so much*. Tish is still eating a predominantly plant based diet. She has added in limited amounts of animal products to address her health issues. Not everyone can metabolise alternative sources of B12 and calcium. Is she supposed to die or lose all her teeth or development osteoporosis to keep you all happy? Obviously some of you don't care why she has made the changes. If you hate what she is doing, unsubscribe. Leave. But keep your vitriol to yourself.

    I was vegan for almost one year, after a 10 day fast I did that really cleared up my skin and seemed to make my body glow. However, I got sick, my skin got worst, I was dancing and walking all over the place because of living in New York and I was chronically fatigued and really really exhausted. I had a health book on going Vegan and I too thought I was doing it right and getting all I needed. Fast forward, my right toe started to feel numb and my health was actually worst. I met this guy in Brooklyn and we randomly talked about Veganism and he proceeded to tell me, he got viscerally sick and was following the "Eating Right 4 Your Body" diet. It was amazing because deep down I knew my diet was making me sick. So I started with fish, and the day I ate it I literally felt every cell in my body explode and thank me with gratitude. It was like my body was saying "Yes." But it was a blessing that I was vegan because I found out my acne was caused by gluten. I also found out I was allergic to the hormones in chicken and for that reason don't take the flu shot. I'm gluten free now, my acne is balanced. I use Colloidal Silver soap and drink lots of water. I also have been able to stop taking acne medication. I mean it's just amazing the journey and how God has allowed me to see what to do and what not to do in connection to my body. I was able to get pregnant without any complications. All-in-all, plant-based can work for many due to their blood type. But everyone can't follow the same diet. I think at the end of it all you said it right, "Listen to your body."

      There are so many factors to consider with diet... I've been eating plant based for 2 years and had poor digestion with terrible gas. Every vegan was saying this was normal and that it would disappear. It didn't so I switched to a low carb, moderate protein and high fat way of eating. As soon as I cut out fruit (which I ate loads of on a daily basis) all gas problems disappeared. I also think too much fruit contributed to the poor health of my teeth because I ate so much. I had more energy and was getting rid of waste literally 3 to 5 times a day. The inflammation in my body disappeared I felt really good. I also know that heavy metal toxicity has a lot to answer for especially when it comes to brain fog and memory issues... A lot of people who eat meat are also vitamin deficient in B12, D3, Iron, Iodine to name a few which are all essential for balanced health.

    I am vegan and have been for 10 years. My body loves it and I run marathons so it’s even helped me have more energy with my running. I still cook meat for the rest of my family who are meat eaters (mostly white meat) and I don’t care to judge or convert them to my way of living because it works for me so the best thing is to do what works for you honey.
    I am in my 20s as well and I am just happy that I was able to start my vegan lifestyle in my teens to learn so much about it especially as someone with low blood sugar levels on any type of diet.
    I occasionally cook vegan food for my family who are meat eaters and they love it and never notice the difference but I don’t mind cooking the meat they love either because it is usually just organic and halal fish, lamb and chicken.
    I just don’t eat it but I would never force them into my lifestyle which has worked for me most of my life.
    All the best 💕

    Wow!
    I had been plant based for 5 years. I went to the dentist in 2017 with pain in my molar and discovered I had a crack in my tooth! I couldn’t get it fixed because my blood pressure was too low! I made an appointment with my physician only to learn, I was hypotensive, my blood count had plummeted to 7.2, I was B12 and Vitamin D deficient! I began adding some animal products to my diet and all of this went away.
    And like you Tish, I too began forgetting simple things. Heavy periods. Intense pain in my left leg to the point I could no longer run.

    Kudos to you for having the courage to share this change, as you potentially could have faced backlash from so many of your dedicated subscribers...again, kudos!
    This is just as good as any time to also mention that more than a disproportionate amount of my patients that have developed MS have either had a long stretch of time being plant based or vegan or still are ...operating word; disproportionate (not everyone)
    There are very specific cholesterols that ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM ANIMAL and that is (1,25 dihydroxycholicalciferol)
    This is a precursor to MANY hormones but most importantly is the foundation that created the myelin sheath ...the protective fatty layer of the nerve system ...when this isn’t present, it recedes and causes MS like symptoms or MS
    It’s important that we eat a good portion of plants but I always tell my patients, even if you’re vegan… You should get a piece of meat at least once per month… Just to avoid those conditions… Thank you so much you’re amazing and I hope this helps

    Tish, yes you have to follow what your body positively responds to. NO JUDGEMENT HERE SISTER. I hate labels. And when people asked me if I am a Vegan. My response is: I am a conscious eater with 80 or 90 percent plant base. As it was if you grew up in the Caribbean as my parents. Occasionally I would have an egg dish with vegetable. If I choose to eat a savory curry dish with chicken. Then I will eat very little rice with it. A lot people do no understand the science of food. Animal protein, no carbs. Mixing different fruit with vegetables are a no no and so on. You are still finding your space. It's okay! Also, one last thing. Because the way food is grown and process I don't rely on food for my source of nutrition. again, as a child of Caribbean parents I drink a lot of herbs (bush)teas which give me the health supplement that I don't get from food. Keep making those wonderful dishes. I' m a bigger fan then ever and look forward to watching what delicious creative food you come up with in your new found revelation.

    Have been following you for a little while and your honesty is genuinely admirable. The important factor as you've mentioned is listening to your body which I don't think a lot of people who start to have health issues where diet is concerned, do. I can totally relate to this video as I know a lot of people that have gone through this transition. A lot of them (had) to go back to introducing some animal based products but not to their bodies detriment. At the end of the day we can only work with the physical structure given to us and no one should push themselves unnecessarily unless trying to eliminate serious illness. Looking forward to your new recipes. Stay strong in your journey and continue to be the best you can be. I can't see anyone disrespecting such honesty but if they do it's out of shear ignorance. Bless

    Thank you, Tish. I am 69 years old and instinctively I have never gone vegetarian. I love fresh vegetables which are a major portion of my diet but I need meat protein - I know that instinctively. Thank you for pointing out that it is up to each of us to discover what foods are the best choice for our individual needs. Once in a great while I need to have a steak (ribeye) sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms - don’t ask me why- and a little baked potato, and I literally FEEL better. I can’t explain it. I do eat organic chicken and turkey and occasionally salmon. You are right that people need to “listen” to their bodies. Everyone’s needs are different. I wish that nutritionists would catch up and come from a wholistic, spiritual, and common sense approach to diet. Blessing/thanking Source, what or whoever that is for individuals, makes a difference. Thank you for sharing, Tish. ♥️

    Good for you Tish. It takes a lot of courage to do this. This video resonates with me so well right now because I am like you, plant based. And i’ve been having a few health problems so I had some blood work done. I am incredibly deficient in B12 and Iron. My monthly cycle is all over the place, really heavy and i’ve just not been feeling as great as I can be feeling at my age. My teeth would break but I thought that was down to having braces younger and them just being weaker.
    I’ve always loved your vibe, aura and you have been my food hero and will always be -- this is just part of your journey to be the best you can be for yourself ❤️

    I don't remember unsubcribing but must have during one of my subscription culls. This came up as a suggested video & I'm really glad. So much respect for you being true and forthright about your journey. I followed you before because I'm interested in all types of cooking and wanted to know more about plant based cuisine. I have been a cook book editor in the past so I wanted to broaden my understanding and you helped with that. I look forward to seeing new recipes from you with some of the animal nutrition you have reintegrated into your diet. Please don't let the naysayers deter you from continuing to make great content and evolving your channel to reflect your current relationship with food and cooking. Hugs from SE London x

    What an eye opener!! I have been mostly plant based for 7years (I eat egg) and a few weeks ago a piece of my front teeth cracked and crumbled while I was eating. It wasn't even anything particularly hard (grain of rock-salt). I was horrified and never made the link until now... thank God I was sent here. So random as I don't typically watch your videos, just stumbled across this. I am not rigid about my veganism. I started due to an intolerance to cheese. I don't drink sodas so I know its not that. I am definitely, going to reintroduce dairy (minus cheese) back into my diet and learn more about remineralising. Thanks Tish so much 🙏🏾

    Weston A Price is another dentist who spoke about animal foods and dental health, his book ‘nutrition and physical degeneration’ is a treasure. Wishing you all the success on your healing journey ❤️

    Hey Tish, thanks for your honesty in this video. Just thought I’d add a different perspective as I’m a dentist. I spent 6 months training on an oral medicine clinic- which is a discipline of medicine and dentistry- and this aspect of dentistry specifically focuses on manifestions that occur in the mouth. You would be surprised what our mouth tells us about the condition of our bodies.
    The thing I was fascinated with, was how important diet and the elimination of certain foods affected peoples overall health - which either manifested in brittle teeth, dry mouths, ulcers in the mouth, fungal infections etc.
    In saying all this, although I work in dentistry and will always advise evidence based dentistry - I do believe that we can adopt some holistic approaches to health also. But there must be a balance. So for example for those who swear by and love ACV the damage it can do long term to the enamel on our teeth could be fatal- yet I understand that ACV has great benefits for the body. Just everything in moderation.
    The more in tune we are with our bodies the better for us long term.
    I am glad that you are doing what is best for you.
    If your interested I would recommend a book called The Dental Diet by Dr Steven Lin - highly informative book. Also, I would also recommend a toothpaste called Zendium ( available on Amazon) from what you described in the video it seems like it would be a great help given your symptoms.
    If you’d like me to send you some free samples of the toothpaste just let me know- I’d be more than happy to.
    I’m still gonna watch your videos and support just as much as before. You have my full support xx
