Sorry about your wife. It's admirable how you're doing things at 76! It's difficult going through your loss,,, and keeping the desire to stay strong mentally, physically and emotionally.
Moderation in foods with Oxalates ( eg spinach cooked 1/2 cup 755 mg Oxalate ) ( eg Kale chopped 1 cup 2 mg ) all Beef / Chicken / Pork / Eggs / sugar free Greek Yogurt / cheese / cottage cheese/ Tuna / Salmon / Shrimp / Sardines / Bison / Elk / Venison / Honey and maple syrup in moderation . Pickles/ A treat would be a pasta or rice dish once or twice a month. I grow summer veggies spray free and try to stick to low Oxalate veggies. Basically BBQ most beef and pork everyday and when I order beef and pork from local butcher ( leave the fat on please ). Walk 6 days a week 3-5 miles and free weights 4 days a week. Every body is different and you must find what your body likes and dis likes. I'm learning at 77 yrs and realized a long time ago most of what we have been told on nutrition and medicine around this subject was high jacked along time ago. Just walk through a modern supermarket and try and find healthy food that is not processed and or not sprayed.
I am so relieved to hear you speak of a "carnivorous" way of eating! My husband and i have been carnivor since January 1 this year. He's watched every video you've done from the beginning. When he watched this, he came and said, "Babe, listen to this! You're going to love this". And i do love it. The benefits are amazing! He lost 23lbs first month i lost 8. I'm not good at growing food, bugs/ disease issues. But we can hunt. Immense pressure is gone for when we live in our tiny cabin we built in northern Idaho! 😊
I had high cholesterol and heart attack! After surgery they put me on statin! I found out about Red Rice Yeast along with Co-Q10 and my cholesterol and BP came down! I talked to my Cardiologist, who is from India, and she said! " I can't prescribe it or I'd loose my lisc to practice medicine! But it works and weve used it for hundreds of years in India! Just a FYI!!! This happened in 2020! I also consulted a naturopathic nutritionist and I'm in better shape than ive been in years!!! Also I now rarely get sick 😊!!
Been carnivore almost two years, now 53yo, and feel like I am back in my 20s again. Down 80 lbs and off the little blood pressure pill I was on, so I am off the pharma plantation again!
I'm 65 years young. I have been enjoying a strict carnivore life style for about 2 years. My wife of 40 years told me that I haven't been in better shape since she met me. My body composition drastically improved since I'm carnivore, BTW I haven't eaten fruits for at least 15 years. I feel great and I don't take any medications.
Good day Shawn, I believe I may have missed the update on the illness you where dealing with and was concerned, I wish we could get an update as we could learn from your experience. I am interested in your weight loss and look forward to learning more.
I remember a giardia problem and I think it's from water. I don't know about his weight loss thing but I have another plan than keto. I just bought AG1 so that I would get health focused with increased nutrition, which should help my mindset improve and get me motivated.
You know, it's a good idea to keep your orchards and expand them each year, and your gardens to provide to friends, family, especially to barter, even if you, yourself, don't want to eat those things.
Look, Canada law has come down on yt w/restrictions on Canadians. Don't you know they don't have freedom of speech, a second amendment? Shawn must do what he can, according to Canada law and according to conscience. I'm really speaking to someone who replied to you that Shawn is chasing the money. (YT wouldn't let me comment to his comment) Certainly one reason Shawn is on yt is to make a living. He's been restricted how he can do that, by his federal corrupt government. He's doing the best he can!
Shawn you can't make these democrat happy no matter what you do Just do what's best for you,they can adjust or go cry themselves to sleep. They are miserable people and want to make everyone else miserable. Talk about annoying,THATS LIBERAL & PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS FOR YOU
Carnivore is my diet and has been for 3 months now ...never felt better and stronger too physically. Be interested to hear as u fair on it . I have surfshark already thank u 😊
Yes, BP will and does drop with weight loss. Most (if not all) of our health issues are caused by the bad stuff we eat and by sitting around all day. It's pretty ironic that by trying to make our lives comfortable we made our lives really uncomfortable.
We have been on Carnivore way of eating for about eight months now and our health improvement was amazing. Weight loss, lowered bp, healed digestive issues and reduced inflammation all over. We have transitioned to a more ketovore diet now by adding seasonal fruits and dairy and love our maple syrup also. Like you, we now have very few vegetables, especially those with high oxalates and phytates, which was hard for me, as I loved growing my own vegetables! 😏 We continue to have great health and feel energized. We are in our late 60’s . We call it the proper human diet…..😁
Shawn I've been carnivore for years. Adding honey was a game changer! The health benefits are incredible. I have a friend that just didn't need vascular surgery and had perfect bloodwork due to eating this way for the last year. The healing goes so much more deep than keto. I can't wait to hear more about how this works for you!!!
Hello Shaun and Callie 😊 so nice to see you again blessings to you and family I want to say thank you for your knowledge on your new health change I am a big believer in in eating healthy my grandparents and parents were people that loved gardening everything was fresh also like you I suffer from BP and I’m looking for natural remedy for it I would like to know with your new food change do you still eat fish? 🐠 I appreciate your videos thank on your insights of bettering your health lifestyle take care.
I’m really happy to hear your change in eating. i’ve done the same, kind of off and on, for the last few years and originally lost 40 pounds fairly quickly. I learned that our wheat and other crops are poisoned with glyphosate. Not to mention the harmful makeup of many vegetables. Then there’s the effect that starch vegetables on our glycemic index. So, I limit breads, pastas, cereals, starchy veggies, etc.. Trying to stay with real foods. I’ve slipped lately but getting back on the wagon. Anyway, good on ya, as the Aussies would say.
My nephew owns and operates a huge maple syrup operation in the Lanark Highlands. He uses a certain filter that takes out most of the water from the sap from the tree collected which really shortens the time and cost of boiling. I wonder if a smaller portable version is available to operators like yourself?
When you're having a heart attack all you do is take a little bit of cayenne pepper and water it'll open up your blood veins and immediately it'll kill any pain and stop the heart attack and also do this study and research of what it did back in the wartime the reason why the guys in wartime it'll stop bleeding etcetera etcetera it is also a cancer cure just like garlic
I think a little bit of moderate lettuce and lettuce heads with arugula and onions and garlic and whatever else might not be bad - I wouldn't exclude things i.e. just for the sake of it - however likewise I wouldn't force myself to eat stuff I can't stand either. I can say I have never felt bad having an apple IMHO.
Hey Shawn I will be waiting on the decision of your experience about your blood pressure. I’ve had it since l was 29 and I’m 68 now and hate to take pills. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
vegans seldom have BP problems! I started green smoothies and small vegan meals, or see 'smoothieshred' for people who follow that route to cure inflammation diseases and lose weight in the process. It's anti- inflammatory food and omega-3s. I was always amazed at his health when I saw what and how he eats! Fried. Meat. I'm sure it was ok because he worked so hard.
A couple of things that I have done inside my home for stocking up and such is I bought alot of test tubes with screw on caps and I put a funnel on top of them and put a bunch of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds in them and have an area with a whole bunch of those stocked up. I also bought an extra dresser with drawers, put that together and instead of using that for clothes I use that to store all kinds of foods that are in wrappers. Protein Bars, Candy Bars, Rice Crispees Treats, Fiber One bars, Slim Jims and Boxes of candy because I do feel like having candy from time to time isn't bad for you and actually helps. One other thing I do is I bought a bunch of plastic Tupperware or bowls with plastic lids and I stock up on different kinds of chips and I put them in those instead of keep them in bags. But that's just to cut down on noise if I munch on them at night time. I make more storage space in a smaller area by hanging shelves on doors. Something that you can't do so that's not going to help. I mounted a few baskets on the wall that I keep my loafs of bread in, onions and potatoes stored in. Because I don't have much kitchen space. It all works out quite well for space if you do that stuff to a small area though. My only regret about this place is that there really isn't enough space for all the kitchen appliances I want to keep on the counters. I'd like to have space for an indoor electric pizza oven. Again something you can't use at your Cabin. You could probably get an outdoor gas powered pizza oven. It doesn't look like you're going to make another earthen oven. I don't know. Maybe you just make your pizzas in your regular wood fired ovens now and do deep dish or something.
Good news re your new diet Shawn. I completely agree. Since I changed my diet, including fasting, my blood pressure has never been better in all my 64 years! Good to see you back mate👍🇦🇺
@bojannovkovic8818 Well, I guess it's really not a diet. I intermittently fast from dinner till around 3 pm. I have very little sugar in my diet and like Shawn learning the benefits of animal products. It's the food gap that counts and I eat quite well in the 4-6 hour period when I stop the fast. I'm 5,11 bare foot and 75 kilos. I used to be 96 kilos. I haven't been this weight since in my 20s! It just take a bit of discipline but we'll worth it. Don't trust the pharmaceutical companies and very cautious of the main stream medical fraternity. Do what you can to stay healthy and keep away from them. 👍
Hi James. I've been on a pure carnivore diet for 6 months, and I've lost 30 pounds, and I have more energy and stamina, and so far no downsides. Good luck with your new eating habits. :)
Hi Shaun, loved this video. Re the comment on people taking on your diet, from my limited experience everyone's immune system / body is so bespoke, such that what might work for you might not for someone else. That is - people should try to understand their own body and work their diet from there. I'm interested in how this works for you and I'm hoping you will share as much as possible here too. Take care. Cheers, Mitch
The initial weight loss is a combination of getting the bloat and fiber out of your intestinal tract as well as primarily water loss. A ketogenic metabolism is way more water efficient than a carb based diet. Anyone who like me had a soda addiction and quit sugars will tell you, you go peeps non stop for days. Also the reduction in inflammation means a loss of retained water. After 2 weeks I no longer had symptoms of arthritis that plagued me for a few years. Now at 2 months every issue I had has either gone away or gotten far better.
been Carnivore for a year! absolutely the best decision I've ever made!!! All inflammation, arthritis, skin issues all GONE lost 30lbs back the weight i was at 25, I'm currently 52 :) many other benefits as well!!!
That sounds more like the "Atkins" approach. I was on it and had a considerable amount of weight to loose. I lost 76 pounds in 4 months and felt so good. Sure, loosing weight obviously made me feel better, however my digestive track, energy, blood pressure, sleep significantly improved. What amazed me the most is after the first week or so, my cravings we're gone. You'll find eating this way will give you much more energy. Remember: It's your body and no one knows it better than you.
Yes we did have high winds on the last week of February u just missed it by 2 days maybe gust up 65 Kms depending on where u r located some places worse up 80 klicks we have a basketball net cemented in the ground on a 3 inch metal pipe it was twisting so hard it snapped
I have helped people boil sap before. They used softwood slabs for the 90 percent of the wood and 10 percent hardwood for the coals. The softwood slabs burn really hot. I had high blood pressure for a really long time. Since I found out I have sleep apnea. I am no longer on blood pressure meds.
Animal Based Diet is the way to go! I've been on it for just over a year and have always suffered from gut issues. I now thankfully don't have any and have not only improved my internal and physical wellbeing, but mentally much better also. Good on you Shawn! Will/ can you plant fruit trees there, such as apple tree etc?
Hey Shawn , Kirk here. Have you also tried Pine Sap - for great infernal cleanser. And parasite. Just peel a piece of bark off the make a two inch cut along bare bark and let the sap leek out over a day maybe two. Now cut off and store in small jar. Now yo may make a tea, or just suck on a small piece the size of your finger nail . Do this about once every week . But if you or wife ever get fever make a cup of hot tea . I also use ginger root in the tea.ginger is very powerful . Blessings Always KIRK'OUT'PEACE
Nice video, I also have been trying to start eating more fruit in my diet at 60 years old, and have been trying to start a fruit tree orchard at my property, so I can eat more friuit and supply folks around me with fresh fruit as well. I think my weather is similar to yours as I am just off the Canadian boarder in Washington State so the cold is tough for growing fruit trees I have found. I'm looking at Zone 4 fruit plants and trees, Apples, Berries and such to grow,.Dolga Apples are good to -40 F and I have 4 of them to plant, deer love them and they are good eating as well for us although the size of a plumb, but good taste I here.
Good morning Shawn, you new way of eating is what I started in January this year. Cut out most sugars, coffe w/ cream and more fruits, berries, apples etc. could tell the difference in a short period of time. Too much less than favorable additives in todays foods along with bioengineered products.
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! I am gluten free so with that being said I watch what I eat !!! Have to watch it closely so I don't go into a Hospital !!! Your diet sounds great but I do need the potatoes for Potassium for the Heart !!! It is something how doctors give to you pills to take !!! But I have found a way around it !!! I make my own cheese and cottage cheese for myself Greek Yogurt also eat that with maple syrup in it or Honey with vanilla !!! Love my fruits to eat !!! Buy a bag of apples it is 2-3 bags for me !!! Sweet potatoes are good for you also !!!
😂😂😂 My uncle ate, dranked & smoked anything he wanted & lived healthy till 90 years of age, it’s insane. Never put much weight on either..drank alcohol nearly every day too.
Yep, one-off outlier genetics is a real thing. just like some super lean, strong 25 year olds that eat perfectly clean and train hard......get cancer....
I've been wondering if that's the secret. Quality of life. I've seen so many overweight out of shape people do bad things to their bodies, but still have perfect blood pressure. Their home life is great, not struggling financially, usually get 10k steps, don't seem affected by social media etc etc. It may seem obvious that these things are positive, but it must impact your health in a good way as well.@@elizabethjohnson475
Yes. Shawn says he wants fructose in his diet. Especially from fruits. Must be an extension of carnivore and zero keto. It’s interesting to say the least. But you know Shawn, he does his own research so he must be onto something…. Not sure I could do without cabbage or sprouts. But I can understand not having tomatoes that are horrendous for anyone with gout. I’m slim. But am trying to be more carnivore, zero fructose and more leafy stuff to trim up organ fats. Tis m’age. 😬
@@elizabethjohnson475 Loved his soil building methods too. 🥲. On the bright side, maybe Mr James will build a magnificent bear proof chicken coop and run where the raised bed garden is. One that’ll be self sustaining for weeks at a time. Providing chicken and eggs and their very own leafy greens to encourage caterpillars… and herbs poking through the fence. With a separate area for favourite fruit bushes sectioned off from chickens until harvest. LED lights for the winter and surrounded by electric wires. 😃 Even raise young pheasant to let out for the winter.
Sugar shack Shawn, sugar shack Shawn, sugar shack Shawn. Lol why is that so satisfying to say. See I knew you had gotten more fit after your trip 💪🏻, although I didn’t know you had changed your diet too, that’s interesting. I would recommend you guys take before pictures for your own reference. With lighting you can recreate too for the after pictures. Im really glad I took a before picture as soon as I started working out during the pandemic because it helps remind me of my progress. Keep that bp monitor handy just in case you ever feel off. I wish you success on your new diet, have a good weekend & take care!
Tune into Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr. Jason Fung. Sugar, honey ,maple syrup, fruit are all carbs and cause insulin resistance. Been keto, moving to carnivore. Concerned about all the fructose/sucrose you are including. Would be interested in whose advice you are listening to, I always want to hear the other side!
I agree. All of those physicians have been helpful in my own journey. Maple syrup does contain sucrose, a disaccharide sugar that breaks down slower than monosaccharides like fructose. There sure seems to be a large amount of conflicting opinions regarding diet 🤷♂️
I am the same age as you, and last year my wife was staying with the kids for 7 months so I took advantage of that time and changed my diet, I ate more red meat than usual, but smaller portions, but I also ate a lot of mixed salads consisting of mostly spinach, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, cheese, and ham, and without increasing my daily step count of around 4-5k steps a day, I lost close to 30 lbs. I did give up almost all junk food, all fried foods, and most dairy, and also cut down my caloric intake, and I actually had more energy than I did before making that change. I assume most of the weight loss was just by eating healthier and less junk, but I can't wait to see what you find out about your diet changes, I always thought all of those veggies were good for you, but I would like to know if there are certain veggies I should eat less of.
Well, I certainly can't blame him about getting off meds and big pharma. Thats why Im growing more vegies and organic meat, gotten off more supplements and thyroid med, getting out of big pharma hands and into my hands.
Hey Shawn, I'm curious about your new diet...what is the issue or negativity with vegetables and leafy groups? There is really good nutritional value to them. Why cut them out? I'm genuinely curious. Thanks.
My wife was in the hospital for a year, in a coma for 8 months due to a botched surgery. She is home now and recovering slowly. During that time she was in the hospital, my daughter and I switched diets. We eat less red meats and pork. Plenty of chicken and fish, much vegetables and fruits. Honey and sugar. I went from almost 200 pounds to 164. In between the eats, exercise. And moving, rest for me is canvas painting and sleeping. I threw away all the prescriptions I had during this time and I feel excellent, as does my daughter. My wife’s mind came back after the coma. A true miracle. And we shared what we were doing and she joined us. I feel this diet has aided to her recovery. She had to learn to walk again, and where the docs said she may never again, she is. She used a walker for a while and recently went to the cane getting stronger each day. My point Shawn is I feel this diet we are on has aided to her recovery. Everyone is different. This diet you are on now will work for you, but not for others. It is these people who will constantly give warning about this and that. There is always an opinion. It is their opinion and it does not matter what they say as long as what you are doing, works for you. As for me, I had the same naysayers and I look at my wife and her recovery as proof, that what we have intaked, is working. Best to you Shawn.
Thank you for getting into the proposed diet you spoke about in your last couple of videos... I was very interested in finding out what you've learned. I am lactose and gluten intolerant... so my diet is mostly protein based and I love it. I think you're headed the right way... I've been doing this for over a year now, and I'm happy and healthy. BTW, love your vest... who makes it? Looks to be oilskin? Peace to you from Alaska my friend, ~Tim
I would love to try that diet, but unfortunately, I contracted Alpha Gal syndrome on a hiking trip a few years ago. I can no longer eat and red meat. No pork ,beef ,lamb, or any wild game. It has been a live altering as far as my diet, but also my health has improved dramatically . I wish you all the best and I've been enjoying your content for many years now.
Alpha gal anti-bodies usually only lasts about a year. Make an appointment with your doctor for a day of testing. You would go to the Hospital and eat a steak and wait for eight hours for a reaction. If there is one they can help you. If there is no reaction you can eat meat again!!!
@@joshck93I'm sad to hear that. Keep testing every so often. It may change. I hope it does for you. In my opinion ticks have been weaponized by our "benevolent" gov.
@@karenmcabee7035 Of course they have been. Ive seen ticks with assualt rifles mounted on them. Scary beasts. Crazy what "our goverment" is doing. By the way how do you know we all live in the same country, is it because its a hidden world goverment or because as we all know the internet is amercian including everyone who uses it?
WOW, Shawn... good for you, I am super happy to hear that you and your family are testing out the Carnivore way of life. I have been Carnivore for 2 and a half years... it has taken me from the grave to the land of the living .. haha, so to speak. No more high blood pressure (I had to take 3 different pills for it) no more hip arthritis (I had to take cortisone injections for it, but not anymore) my thyroid has improved so much that I am down by half the amount I used to take in my medication for it. I sleep better, my vision improved so much so that my eye doctor was shocked. I really can not say enough good things about this lifestyle... it's the best!! I am super proud of you... keep up the good work!!
I have eat that for 2 years now. Oh my what a diffrent it does to your healt and body. A lot of energy, and a positiv mind. Skin, sight/eyes, weight, everything is better. Basical Cornevore with some frute and berry. Egg and bacon, sea food and meat. Have a Nice day and keep up the good movies. Soon Summer :)
sounds like you are eliminating grains, rice, beans? If you are doing this long term, what will you do with all your long term food storage items in this case and how will it change in what you CAN store long term? I'm sure you'll speak about this on paetron but I just can't afford extra $$ to participate on those types of platforms.
Good morning Shawn ! Im so glad youre back and Cali too ! Im gonna be 58 next month and thinking of trying this diet out also . Ive been cutting out carbs and am already noticing a difference!
Hi Shawn, i had high blood pressure and was allways tired. I come across Dr Eric Berg on UA-cam 3.5 years ago and he has changed my life. I am on Keto and do an 18hr fast each day. Have never felt better. I to am 53 and have constant energy, clearer mind, no aches and pains. Carbs and sugars are the devil. That said, looking at doing a mix of carnivor and keto each month. All the best Mate. Your invitation to come hunting in Australia still stands....maybe on day.
Shawn, trust your gut. I am 75 in December and overweight and working on the same type of products that you use. I've been off pharmaceuticals for a couple of years. I harbor high blood pressure and cholesterol also. My enemy is "good breads" Sour dough is best for you, I understand. I've started fruits and meats and love them. Mostly chicken and lean beefs. Some porks like loin cuts. I love grapes, but have to be cautious of them getting into the dog's mouth....so no dropsies! The drugs they put me on two years ago gave me a cough (blood pressure) and crippled or messed up my thigh muscles (cholesterol). I like eggs too. I also do almond milk and real butter and pure oils. I am currently working full-time for the State of NH Women's prison in administration. Learning new things every day. Remember deep breathing exercises before sleep...what a difference! Take care! I will be watching you and glad you are back!
When I moved out where I am now, about 5 years ago, my diet has consisted of meat and fat and fruit in season. Some stored veggies, mostly squash, always onions and peppers and tomatoes. I have lost 40 lbs. It was slowly at first and then......whoosh, all the fat was gone. I have since added in carbs for the winter as I ate all my stored fruit. I feel great! Had one cold and even my arthritis (or whatever it is that makes my hands tighten up sometimes) has been alleviated. It's not a diet for everyone but it's pretty good to get rid of excess weight, so you don't have to even consider not eating that occasional piece of pie or cake. Everyone would do better not to eat any processed food though. Those 'trans-fats' and seed oil feed the fat, making the fat grow! lol Your body has no idea what to do with that, so it stores it. And nobody needs that!
Your lifestyle is so cool. The only problem is that you are going to need a lot of food storage for when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate. You are impressively prepared. The amount of exercise you get is unreal. I live in the NorthEast of the USA and it was super windy here and we had all kinds of trees and branches come down.. It was a mess and we lost power quite a bit.
I see older folks with some fat decide to lose weight. They look so gaunt. I want to keep my fat. When people get very close to life's end, their body naturally loses fat and weight. I'll keep mine for right now, thanks. No carnivore diet for me.
Started at 76 after wife's passing 15 mths ago ..215 lbs down to 180. Much fitter and stronger. Mentally much better.
Sorry about your wife. It's admirable how you're doing things at 76! It's difficult going through your loss,,, and keeping the desire to stay strong mentally, physically and emotionally.
What sort of diet so you follow now?
Moderation in foods with Oxalates ( eg spinach cooked 1/2 cup 755 mg Oxalate ) ( eg Kale chopped 1 cup 2 mg ) all Beef / Chicken / Pork / Eggs / sugar free Greek Yogurt / cheese / cottage cheese/ Tuna / Salmon / Shrimp / Sardines / Bison / Elk / Venison / Honey and maple syrup in moderation . Pickles/ A treat would be a pasta or rice dish once or twice a month. I grow summer veggies spray free and try to stick to low Oxalate veggies. Basically BBQ most beef and pork everyday and when I order beef and pork from local butcher ( leave the fat on please ). Walk 6 days a week 3-5 miles and free weights 4 days a week. Every body is different and you must find what your body likes and dis likes. I'm learning at 77 yrs and realized a long time ago most of what we have been told on nutrition and medicine around this subject was high jacked along time ago.

My husband and i have been carnivor since January 1 this year. He's watched every video you've done from the beginning. When he watched this, he came and said, "Babe, listen to this! You're going to love this".
And i do love it. The benefits are amazing! He lost 23lbs first month i lost 8. I'm not good at growing food, bugs/ disease issues. But we can hunt. Immense pressure is gone for when we live in our tiny cabin we built in northern Idaho! 😊

All the amino acids that build muscle are in meat to build muscle in us. That's what plant protein lacks and cannot do.
Looking forward to see that blackmith shop! :-)
I'm 65 years young. I have been enjoying a strict carnivore life style for about 2 years. My wife of 40 years told me that I haven't been in better shape since she met me. My body composition drastically improved since I'm carnivore, BTW I haven't eaten fruits for at least 15 years. I feel great and I don't take any medications.
I lost 34 lbs on a ketogenic diet. Was able to quit blood pressure medication completely.

You know, it's a good idea to keep your orchards and expand them each year, and your gardens to provide to friends, family, especially to barter, even if you, yourself, don't want to eat those things.
Thank you for all you do and sharing your thoughts!
Very interesting on your change in eating. What are you doing on growing in your garden?? Vegetables that you’re staying away from??????
For whatever reason, it was good to have you wandering around our beloved America Mr. James!
i like this style of talking points instead pod cast.
Yeah, me too, but he’s gotta chase that podcast money.
Look, Canada law has come down on yt w/restrictions on Canadians. Don't you know they don't have freedom of speech, a second amendment?

In Poland, hypertension can be treated with garlic tincture and hawthorn preparations, including hawthorn flowers, leaves and fruits.
Well dang, I'll have to go to Poland for that to work? 😢
Thanks for sharing! Hope you and yours stay healthy and blessed!
Yes, BP will and does drop with weight loss. Most (if not all) of our health issues are caused by the bad stuff we eat and by sitting around all day. It's pretty ironic that by trying to make our lives comfortable we made our lives really uncomfortable.
We have been on Carnivore way of eating for about eight months now and our health improvement was amazing. Weight loss, lowered bp, healed digestive issues and reduced inflammation all over. We have transitioned to a more ketovore diet now by adding seasonal fruits and dairy and love our maple syrup also. Like you, we now have very few vegetables, especially those with high oxalates and phytates, which was hard for me, as I loved growing my own vegetables! 😏 We continue to have great health and feel energized. We are in our late 60’s . We call it the proper human diet…..😁
reason to head South for two months, peak Canadian winter.....because you can...pure and simple...ask Canadian geese
Shawn I've been carnivore for years. Adding honey was a game changer! The health benefits are incredible. I have a friend that just didn't need vascular surgery and had perfect bloodwork due to eating this way for the last year. The healing goes so much more deep than keto. I can't wait to hear more about how this works for you!!!
Hello Shaun and Callie 😊 so nice to see you again blessings to you and family I want to say thank you for your knowledge on your new health change I am a big believer in in eating healthy my grandparents and parents were people that loved gardening everything was fresh also like you I suffer from BP and I’m looking for natural remedy for it I would like to know with your new food change do you still eat fish? 🐠 I appreciate your videos thank on your insights of bettering your health lifestyle take care.
I’m really happy to hear your change in eating. i’ve done the same, kind of off and on, for the last few years and originally lost 40 pounds fairly quickly. I learned that our wheat and other crops are poisoned with glyphosate. Not to mention the harmful makeup of many vegetables. Then there’s the effect that starch vegetables on our glycemic index. So, I limit breads, pastas, cereals, starchy veggies, etc.. Trying to stay with real foods. I’ve slipped lately but getting back on the wagon.
Anyway, good on ya, as the Aussies would say.
My nephew owns and operates a huge maple syrup operation in the Lanark Highlands. He uses a certain filter that takes out most of the water from the sap from the tree collected which really shortens the time and cost of boiling. I wonder if a smaller portable version is available to operators like yourself?
The process is called "Reverse Osmosis"
This is a genuine question from a long time subscriber and watcher, but how does a Patreon fit into Self Reliance?
organic cayenne pepper is the best thing for blood pressure and heart issues, take a 1/4 tsp every day
When you're having a heart attack all you do is take a little bit of cayenne pepper and water it'll open up your blood veins and immediately it'll kill any pain and stop the heart attack and also do this study and research of what it did back in the wartime the reason why the guys in wartime it'll stop bleeding etcetera etcetera it is also a cancer cure just like garlic
merci JAMES
I think a little bit of moderate lettuce and lettuce heads with arugula and onions and garlic and whatever else might not be bad - I wouldn't exclude things i.e. just for the sake of it - however likewise I wouldn't force myself to eat stuff I can't stand either.
I can say I have never felt bad having an apple IMHO.
Hey Shawn I will be waiting on the decision of your experience about your blood pressure. I’ve had it since l was 29 and I’m 68 now and hate to take pills. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
vegans seldom have BP problems! I started green smoothies and small vegan meals, or see 'smoothieshred' for people who follow that route to cure inflammation diseases and lose weight in the process. It's anti- inflammatory food and omega-3s. I was always amazed at his health when I saw what and how he eats! Fried. Meat. I'm sure it was ok because he worked so hard.
have you ever tapped birch trees ? the sap is excellent .very high in minerals not quite as much sugars as maple
At least some root vegetables like carrots, beets, turnips as well as potatoes and barley 9n occasion are good for vitamins and minerals as well as
I really don't have the money Shawn.
I will try watch your old videos
A couple of things that I have done inside my home for stocking up and such is I bought alot of test tubes with screw on caps and I put a funnel on top of them and put a bunch of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds in them and have an area with a whole bunch of those stocked up. I also bought an extra dresser with drawers, put that together and instead of using that for clothes I use that to store all kinds of foods that are in wrappers. Protein Bars, Candy Bars, Rice Crispees Treats, Fiber One bars, Slim Jims and Boxes of candy because I do feel like having candy from time to time isn't bad for you and actually helps. One other thing I do is I bought a bunch of plastic Tupperware or bowls with plastic lids and I stock up on different kinds of chips and I put them in those instead of keep them in bags. But that's just to cut down on noise if I munch on them at night time. I make more storage space in a smaller area by hanging shelves on doors. Something that you can't do so that's not going to help. I mounted a few baskets on the wall that I keep my loafs of bread in, onions and potatoes stored in. Because I don't have much kitchen space. It all works out quite well for space if you do that stuff to a small area though. My only regret about this place is that there really isn't enough space for all the kitchen appliances I want to keep on the counters. I'd like to have space for an indoor electric pizza oven. Again something you can't use at your Cabin. You could probably get an outdoor gas powered pizza oven. It doesn't look like you're going to make another earthen oven. I don't know. Maybe you just make your pizzas in your regular wood fired ovens now and do deep dish or something.
Good news re your new diet Shawn. I completely agree. Since I changed my diet, including fasting, my blood pressure has never been better in all my 64 years! Good to see you back mate👍🇦🇺
What diet do you follow now?
@bojannovkovic8818 Well, I guess it's really not a diet. I intermittently fast from dinner till around 3 pm. I have very little sugar in my diet and like Shawn learning the benefits of animal products. It's the food gap that counts and I eat quite well in the 4-6 hour period when I stop the fast. I'm 5,11 bare foot and 75 kilos. I used to be 96 kilos. I haven't been this weight since in my 20s! It just take a bit of discipline but we'll worth it. Don't trust the pharmaceutical companies and very cautious of the main stream medical fraternity. Do what you can to stay healthy and keep away from them. 👍
Hi James. I've been on a pure carnivore diet for 6 months, and I've lost 30 pounds, and I have more energy and stamina, and so far no downsides. Good luck with your new eating habits. :)
Very Interesting. I’ve eliminated Wheat and white flour (wheat belly), refined sugars. Basically as much carbs as possible. 👍🏼
Just sayin', einkorn.
Hi Shaun, loved this video. Re the comment on people taking on your diet, from my limited experience everyone's immune system / body is so bespoke, such that what might work for you might not for someone else. That is - people should try to understand their own body and work their diet from there. I'm interested in how this works for you and I'm hoping you will share as much as possible here too. Take care. Cheers, Mitch
The initial weight loss is a combination of getting the bloat and fiber out of your intestinal tract as well as primarily water loss. A ketogenic metabolism is way more water efficient than a carb based diet. Anyone who like me had a soda addiction and quit sugars will tell you, you go peeps non stop for days. Also the reduction in inflammation means a loss of retained water. After 2 weeks I no longer had symptoms of arthritis that plagued me for a few years. Now at 2 months every issue I had has either gone away or gotten far better.
Hey Sean you guys keep up the healthy track I don't eat a lot of meats at all myself just all vegetables most of the time 😊
been Carnivore for a year! absolutely the best decision I've ever made!!! All inflammation, arthritis, skin issues all GONE lost 30lbs back the weight i was at 25, I'm currently 52 :) many other benefits as well!!!
IVE BEEN KETO 5 YRS NOW AND INTERMITTENT FASTING
That sounds more like the "Atkins" approach. I was on it and had a considerable amount of weight to loose. I lost 76 pounds in 4 months and felt so good. Sure, loosing weight obviously made me feel better, however my digestive track, energy, blood pressure, sleep significantly improved. What amazed me the most is after the first week or so, my cravings we're gone. You'll find eating this way will give you much more energy.
Remember: It's your body and no one knows it better than you.
Cruciferous vegetables are important. I don`t think they are inflamatory.
I canned a pile of mullen tea. I have so much of it growing here. I've been able to drink it all winter.
Northern Wisconsin, tapped Feb 4th, earliest ever. 70 taps could be a record season!
Hoping to get somewhere warm next winter. -44 is a little intense for my small old camper.
Yes we did have high winds on the last week of February u just missed it by 2 days maybe gust up 65 Kms depending on where u r located some places worse up 80 klicks we have a basketball net cemented in the ground on a 3 inch metal pipe it was twisting so hard it snapped
I have helped people boil sap before. They used softwood slabs for the 90 percent of the wood and 10 percent hardwood for the coals. The softwood slabs burn really hot.
I had high blood pressure for a really long time. Since I found out I have sleep apnea. I am no longer on blood pressure meds.
Should put on Cali protective dog shoes.
Animal Based Diet is the way to go! I've been on it for just over a year and have always suffered from gut issues. I now thankfully don't have any and have not only improved my internal and physical wellbeing, but mentally much better also. Good on you Shawn! Will/ can you plant fruit trees there, such as apple tree etc?
Perhaps scrape off a good layer of the new driveway to the new shop to harvest the topsoil for your garden so it's not just buried under gravel...??
Hey Shawn , Kirk here. Have you also tried Pine Sap - for great infernal cleanser. And parasite. Just peel a piece of bark off the make a two inch cut along bare bark and let the sap leek out over a day maybe two. Now cut off and store in small jar. Now yo may make a tea, or just suck on a small piece the size of your finger nail . Do this about once every week . But if you or wife ever get fever make a cup of hot tea . I also use ginger root in the tea.ginger is very powerful . Blessings Always KIRK'OUT'PEACE
Nice video, I also have been trying to start eating more fruit in my diet at 60 years old, and have been trying to start a fruit tree orchard at my property, so I can eat more friuit and supply folks around me with fresh fruit as well. I think my weather is similar to yours as I am just off the Canadian boarder in Washington State so the cold is tough for growing fruit trees I have found. I'm looking at Zone 4 fruit plants and trees, Apples, Berries and such to grow,.Dolga Apples are good to -40 F and I have 4 of them to plant, deer love them and they are good eating as well for us although the size of a plumb, but good taste I here.
Good morning Shawn, you new way of eating is what I started in January this year. Cut out most sugars, coffe w/ cream and more fruits, berries, apples etc. could tell the difference in a short period of time. Too much less than favorable additives in todays foods along with bioengineered products.
Wouldnt growing your own have been enough?
Intermediate fasting really helped me feel better which basically means eating 2 meals a day..lunch and dinner...18 hour fast.
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! I am gluten free so with that being said I watch what I eat !!! Have to watch it closely so I don't go into a Hospital !!! Your diet sounds great but I do need the potatoes for Potassium for the Heart !!! It is something how doctors give to you pills to take !!! But I have found a way around it !!! I make my own cheese and cottage cheese for myself Greek Yogurt also eat that with maple syrup in it or Honey with vanilla !!! Love my fruits to eat !!! Buy a bag of apples it is 2-3 bags for me !!! Sweet potatoes are good for you also !!!
Einkorn isnt gluten free, but is 100% natural, never bred. Never GMOd, ancient. Many w/diabetes and celiac can eat einkorn bread.
😂😂😂 My uncle ate, dranked & smoked anything he wanted & lived healthy till 90 years of age, it’s insane. Never put much weight on either..drank alcohol nearly every day too.
Yep, one-off outlier genetics is a real thing. just like some super lean, strong 25 year olds that eat perfectly clean and train hard......get cancer....
Quality of life, that's what matters to me as I, 67, get older, not longevity.
I've been wondering if that's the secret. Quality of life. I've seen so many overweight out of shape people do bad things to their bodies, but still have perfect blood pressure. Their home life is great, not struggling financially, usually get 10k steps, don't seem affected by social media etc etc. It may seem obvious that these things are positive, but it must impact your health in a good way as well.@@elizabethjohnson475
The sugar in maple syrup is 50% fructose.
Yes. Shawn says he wants fructose in his diet. Especially from fruits. Must be an extension of carnivore and zero keto. It’s interesting to say the least. But you know Shawn, he does his own research so he must be onto something….
Not sure I could do without cabbage or sprouts. But I can understand not having tomatoes that are horrendous for anyone with gout.
I’m slim. But am trying to be more carnivore, zero fructose and more leafy stuff to trim up organ fats. Tis m’age. 😬
I dont get it. His schedule for projects will be quite sped up, he'll have little vegetable garden and orchard anymore to tend to.
Sure wont be giving us anymore garden advice and "how-to" guidance. So much about homesteading is growing food.
@@elizabethjohnson475 Loved his soil building methods too. 🥲. On the bright side, maybe Mr James will build a magnificent bear proof chicken coop and run where the raised bed garden is. One that’ll be self sustaining for weeks at a time. Providing chicken and eggs and their very own leafy greens to encourage caterpillars… and herbs poking through the fence. With a separate area for favourite fruit bushes sectioned off from chickens until harvest. LED lights for the winter and surrounded by electric wires. 😃 Even raise young pheasant to let out for the winter.
@@elizabethjohnson475 Could get a milk cow….? To make cheese and butter. Barter wood for hay.
Sugar shack Shawn, sugar shack Shawn, sugar shack Shawn. Lol why is that so satisfying to say. See I knew you had gotten more fit after your trip 💪🏻, although I didn’t know you had changed your diet too, that’s interesting.
I would recommend you guys take before pictures for your own reference. With lighting you can recreate too for the after pictures. Im really glad I took a before picture as soon as I started working out during the pandemic because it helps remind me of my progress. Keep that bp monitor handy just in case you ever feel off. I wish you success on your new diet, have a good weekend & take care!
Yes, a relative was over 340 and is down to 190 now and in the best shape of his life!!! He's now life coaching others who need help!!
@@donaldhofman5257 That’s awesome! I bet he feels so much better nowadays!
I’m very glad you are back on your shows and looking forward to watch your future goals on shows…
Have good weekend
Good morning
Hope you have a wonderful weekend
Tune into Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr. Jason Fung. Sugar, honey ,maple syrup, fruit are all carbs and cause insulin resistance. Been keto, moving to carnivore. Concerned about all the fructose/sucrose you are including. Would be interested in whose advice you are listening to, I always want to hear the other side!
I agree. All of those physicians have been helpful in my own journey. Maple syrup does contain sucrose, a disaccharide sugar that breaks down slower than monosaccharides like fructose. There sure seems to be a large amount of conflicting opinions regarding diet 🤷♂️
I am the same age as you, and last year my wife was staying with the kids for 7 months so I took advantage of that time and changed my diet, I ate more red meat than usual, but smaller portions, but I also ate a lot of mixed salads consisting of mostly spinach, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, cheese, and ham, and without increasing my daily step count of around 4-5k steps a day, I lost close to 30 lbs. I did give up almost all junk food, all fried foods, and most dairy, and also cut down my caloric intake, and I actually had more energy than I did before making that change. I assume most of the weight loss was just by eating healthier and less junk, but I can't wait to see what you find out about your diet changes, I always thought all of those veggies were good for you, but I would like to know if there are certain veggies I should eat less of.
Great way to eat!! What about mushrooms, been learning a lot about the benefits from them.
Well, I certainly can't blame him about getting off meds and big pharma. Thats why Im growing more vegies and organic meat, gotten off more supplements and thyroid med, getting out of big pharma hands and into my hands.
It's good to see you had a great vacation and the new sugar boilers working great as well .
I.m on the same diet, I weigh 155 lbs., was 205 feel great ! I avoid carbs and sugar , ! use Stevia as a sweetner .
I got confused and thought I'd seen this before but it was just reused video on the front end. And some through it too I see.
Hello, I love watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭
Hey Shawn, I'm curious about your new diet...what is the issue or negativity with vegetables and leafy groups? There is really good nutritional value to them. Why cut them out? I'm genuinely curious. Thanks.
Please tell us what and where during your trip you discovered that your diet should change. Thank you!
My wife was in the hospital for a year, in a coma for 8 months due to a botched surgery. She is home now and recovering slowly. During that time she was in the hospital, my daughter and I switched diets. We eat less red meats and pork. Plenty of chicken and fish, much vegetables and fruits. Honey and sugar. I went from almost 200 pounds to 164. In between the eats, exercise. And moving, rest for me is canvas painting and sleeping. I threw away all the prescriptions I had during this time and I feel excellent, as does my daughter.
My wife’s mind came back after the coma. A true miracle. And we shared what we were doing and she joined us. I feel this diet has aided to her recovery. She had to learn to walk again, and where the docs said she may never again, she is. She used a walker for a while and recently went to the cane getting stronger each day.
My point Shawn is I feel this diet we are on has aided to her recovery. Everyone is different. This diet you are on now will work for you, but not for others. It is these people who will constantly give warning about this and that. There is always an opinion. It is their opinion and it does not matter what they say as long as what you are doing, works for you. As for me, I had the same naysayers and I look at my wife and her recovery as proof, that what we have intaked, is working. Best to you Shawn.
bon week-end à vous et tout mes vœux pour cet longue nuit de travail ⚒ ⚒
sounds like you got a good start to the year
The new diet sounds very healthy. I've heard rabbit meat is healthy too. Getting off meds is so smart! Wish you could sell the maple products!
Be careful going off your meds😟 ...but I understand where your coming from..
Ive stopped supplements. So tired of them. Would rather use good nutrition.
Thank you for getting into the proposed diet you spoke about in your last couple of videos... I was very interested in finding out what you've learned. I am lactose and gluten intolerant... so my diet is mostly protein based and I love it. I think you're headed the right way... I've been doing this for over a year now, and I'm happy and healthy. BTW, love your vest... who makes it? Looks to be oilskin? Peace to you from Alaska my friend, ~Tim
I would love to try that diet, but unfortunately, I contracted Alpha Gal syndrome on a hiking trip a few years ago. I can no longer eat and red meat. No pork ,beef ,lamb, or any wild game. It has been a live altering as far as my diet, but also my health has improved dramatically . I wish you all the best and I've been enjoying your content for many years now.
That is actually what did it for me. I had 4 ticks get dug in during the trip.
Alpha gal anti-bodies usually only lasts about a year. Make an appointment with your doctor for a day of testing. You would go to the Hospital and eat a steak and wait for eight hours for a reaction. If there is one they can help you. If there is no reaction you can eat meat again!!!
I did get tested by my Dr. 3 months ago, and my levels were still high.
@@joshck93I'm sad to hear that. Keep testing every so often. It may change. I hope it does for you. In my opinion ticks have been weaponized by our "benevolent" gov.
@@karenmcabee7035 Of course they have been. Ive seen ticks with assualt rifles mounted on them. Scary beasts. Crazy what "our goverment" is doing. By the way how do you know we all live in the same country, is it because its a hidden world goverment or because as we all know the internet is amercian including everyone who uses it?
WOW, Shawn... good for you, I am super happy to hear that you and your family are testing out the Carnivore way of life. I have been Carnivore for 2 and a half years... it has taken me from the grave to the land of the living .. haha, so to speak. No more high blood pressure (I had to take 3 different pills for it) no more hip arthritis (I had to take cortisone injections for it, but not anymore) my thyroid has improved so much that I am down by half the amount I used to take in my medication for it. I sleep better, my vision improved so much so that my eye doctor was shocked. I really can not say enough good things about this lifestyle... it's the best!! I am super proud of you... keep up the good work!!
I have eat that for 2 years now. Oh my what a diffrent it does to your healt and body. A lot of energy, and a positiv mind. Skin, sight/eyes, weight, everything is better. Basical Cornevore with some frute and berry. Egg and bacon, sea food and meat.
Have a Nice day and keep up the good movies. Soon Summer :)
sounds like you are eliminating grains, rice, beans? If you are doing this long term, what will you do with all your long term food storage items in this case and how will it change in what you CAN store long term? I'm sure you'll speak about this on paetron but I just can't afford extra $$ to participate on those types of platforms.
Good morning Shawn ! Im so glad youre back and Cali too ! Im gonna be 58 next month and thinking of trying this diet out also . Ive been cutting out carbs and am already noticing a difference!
Get Callie some doggie boots ❤ for the cold weather
Hi Shawn big fan I highly encourage you to look into Cayenne pepper to lower your blood pressure.
Thank you , Shawn .
🐺Loupis Canis .
Look forward to your diet results, I'm not on any other platform, keep up the good work
Hi Shawn, i had high blood pressure and was allways tired. I come across Dr Eric Berg on UA-cam 3.5 years ago and he has changed my life. I am on Keto and do an 18hr fast each day. Have never felt better. I to am 53 and have constant energy, clearer mind, no aches and pains. Carbs and sugars are the devil. That said, looking at doing a mix of carnivor and keto each month. All the best Mate. Your invitation to come hunting in Australia still stands....maybe on day.
Shawn, trust your gut. I am 75 in December and overweight and working on the same type of products that you use. I've been off pharmaceuticals for a couple of years. I harbor high blood pressure and cholesterol also. My enemy is "good breads" Sour dough is best for you, I understand. I've started fruits and meats and love them. Mostly chicken and lean beefs. Some porks like loin cuts. I love grapes, but have to be cautious of them getting into the dog's mouth....so no dropsies! The drugs they put me on two years ago gave me a cough (blood pressure) and crippled or messed up my thigh muscles (cholesterol). I like eggs too. I also do almond milk and real butter and pure oils. I am currently working full-time for the State of NH Women's prison in administration. Learning new things every day. Remember deep breathing exercises before sleep...what a difference! Take care! I will be watching you and glad you are back!
So lovely to see you back on and busy doing your seasonal activities. Congratulations on the success of your diet corrections. All the best.
When I moved out where I am now, about 5 years ago, my diet has consisted of meat and fat and fruit in season. Some stored veggies, mostly squash, always onions and peppers and tomatoes. I have lost 40 lbs. It was slowly at first and then......whoosh, all the fat was gone. I have since added in carbs for the winter as I ate all my stored fruit. I feel great! Had one cold and even my arthritis (or whatever it is that makes my hands tighten up sometimes) has been alleviated. It's not a diet for everyone but it's pretty good to get rid of excess weight, so you don't have to even consider not eating that occasional piece of pie or cake. Everyone would do better not to eat any processed food though. Those 'trans-fats' and seed oil feed the fat, making the fat grow! lol Your body has no idea what to do with that, so it stores it. And nobody needs that!
Down 85 pounds first on Keto and then to Carnivore. All labs are perfect and I am no longer diabetic.
Quality is not expensive ...
Your lifestyle is so cool. The only problem is that you are going to need a lot of food storage for when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate. You are impressively prepared. The amount of exercise you get is unreal. I live in the NorthEast of the USA and it was super windy here and we had all kinds of trees and branches come down.. It was a mess and we lost power quite a bit.
I see older folks with some fat decide to lose weight. They look so gaunt. I want to keep my fat. When people get very close to life's end, their body naturally loses fat and weight. I'll keep mine for right now, thanks. No carnivore diet for me.
So, what are you going to do with the Gardens?
Hello from Pickwick Mn !
Shawn where did you talk about your diet? I missed that one.
