Almost at 200k! You deserve it Derek. You have the healthiest advice to offer that I’ve seen on UA-cam! Very balanced and healthy lifestyle 😊
Derek, thank you so very much for answering the question about what made you want to become a nutritionist. It was so important to hear your words for me now. I lost my dad from cancer when i was 24, it was too early. And i started thinking the same things about food like you said. Also i quit kinda respected office job which i had according to my education (I mean come on, i was taught that i have to work if i spent time and money for the education) few years ago and I've done so many things since then and i still didn't find what i want to do exactly. Sometimes i wanna give up and just be like "normal people" and go back to office job, but I know it's not for me and I'll be seriously unhappy, so i continue to look for my way and your words were right on time. So thank you again for everything you do and for your amazingly beautiful montage.
I am glad that it helped you! Thanks for your comment. Keep pushing, it will all be worth it in the end. :D
I just gave up a dream job making more money then I ever thought I would make but everyone was miserable and never saw their loved ones and most importantly their health was horrible no one understood but you have to have the courage to follow your gut!!
Dan B mad props to you for recognizing that! I hope you find something that is a good fit for you. :)
These "AMM" be so amazing! I look forward to them every Monday!😀👍👍
Honestly you are the best youtuber EVER. You have the best advice and you are so down to earth. Your videos are so good!! Don't stop!
Simnett you post some of the very best content on UA-cam. Great info as always 👍🏽
I'm of a similar background, I lost my Dad from cancer when I was 11, and my Mom just four years ago of cancer, heart disease, & diabetes. What a wake up. Made me totally rethink my diet & lifestyle and get on a healthy track. Thanks for sharing. Love the videos as always.
5:48 I really needed to hear that cuz I'm at a job now where it just feels like it's at a dead end for me and I'm a nice and humble guy and the job is just plain out stressful most of the times... And mostly from the people
ARKANG3L T0PFLIGHT go and find a job that you love! Im currently writing my master thesis in cancer epidemiology. And everyone asks me “How much money will you make?“. And Im like “Not that much. But on sundays I get excited because tommorow is monday :)“
You can use a bad job to build character. Few have a job they love, but do the best you can, always. Don't define yourself by what you do, rather, how well you do it. Don't do it for anyone else, do it for yourself. Trust me, people will notice, even if no one shows you gratitude, doors will open for you. When they do, you have to ready to recognize them, so never miss an opportunity to make a friend, even its just a casual acquaintance. I know, sounds like some Tony Robbins non sense, just consider it, and good luck to you.
Joseph1NJ great advice ty😌
I started when I was 13 as well, back in 2006. Back then, many people told me I'd get sick, not grow up properly and end up in a hospital. My parents didn't support me and were constantly challenging my beliefs, saying I thought I knew more than doctors and even God.
Luckily I stood up through it all with the help of Mother Internet, got thinner, grew up, had more energy than all my friends (specially when they started drinking alcohol and smoking) and now that veganism is everywhere here in Brasil I'm considered some kind of young sage by a lot of people.
The advice I can give to people receiving hate out there is: to many people your choice and beliefs will represent a challenge and remind them of what they hate about themselves. Don't let it harm you. Find the others, we are out there going through the same.
Loved your answer to "What made you want to become a nutritionist?", and the idea of doing things that are in alignment to your values and goals. People often consider "quitting" to be a bad thing - but oftentimes, it can be the best thing we can do, especially if we're quitting something that isn't fulfilling us.
Bamboo seems like a nice material that's less conductive to temperature swings compared to metals. Sweet!
You live in such a beautiful place! Love seeing the scenery!
Thanks for the “alignment” talk 5:10. I’m dealing with some really heavy life changes and depression/anxiety.
I’m trying VERY hard to stay true to my inner morals and follow that path, which is really new experience for me.
I’m out of work right now and don’t want to continue my old career. And the more I meditate and journal about honesty and my morals, the more it’s pointing me to do something in public service, and specifically helping the homeless population in my area.
Anyway, thanks again for the motivation!
I'm so happy that you have a drone. That intro was great!
Yay! yes, I'm having fun with it!
each time you upload a video i get a smile duude
Those falls are amazing! Also thanks a lot for you response about how you became a nutritionist; I graduated a year ago and have been working retail and now finally got a job that is a move in the right direction but not something that I want to do forever. It's really nice to hear, and it might be obvious, that your journey through life as long as you stay driven to pursue something you want to do you can eventually find your self near that or may be in something that you never knew you wanted to do. Thanks again for the awesome video; keep up the great work!
Hey Derek! Beautiful area, thanks for sharing! Ask Me Monday is the only reason I've ever thought to myself "Yes, it's Monday!" I found your channel last year and you've been a huge influence in my vegan journey (I transitioned to vegetarian last summer and went vegan by October with no support except documentaries, UA-cam, and books). Thank you for what you do! You're an awesome human :)
Melissa Spillane I hope you find supportive friends! I know how hard it can be to transition to veganism without them. 💖
Laura Jean Thanks!!! My family and friends are more supportive/less skeptical now, but it was tough in the beginning. Surprisingly I got my mom eating less meat and dairy and she admits she feels better. But I still love UA-cam for making me feel like I have supportive vegan friends, no one I know is vegan!
Hey Derek! I'm glad someone asked you about how you became a nutritionist because I really resonate with what you said about seeking the "truth". For a while I was confused, overwhelmed and really frustrated about all of the conflicting info out there and all I wanted was to know the truth. I'm not passionate about being a nutritionist but I'm glad you are and now that I know we are on a similar wave length, I'll always be following your content! So thanks for doing what you do! 🙂💜
haha by your definition I am revegetating.
Great video!! Loved the drone shots of the waterfall. I have heard you talk about your Mom in videos in the past and I sorta wondered about your Dad. Sorry to hear he passed from cancer when you were so young. I'm sure he'd be very proud of your great work to help people eat vegan and be physically active. Thanks for your amazing positivity too! Love your channel. Oh, and nice to see you leave the hat off in this one.
Thank you for the nice comment.
Fact: Microwaves don't make your food unhealthy.
It's simple paranoia that makes people afraid of them.
I AM 14 AND VEGAN!!
Respect!
Derek, I love everything that you and please keep spreading positive information. Now let's have fun with some questions!
Q1: Let's say you rescued a chicken, raised it like any other pet and continue to do so even after the hen stopped producing eggs. Would you still consider yourself a vegan if you ate the eggs?
Q2: Cats are strictly carnivores and they currently cannot thrive on a plant-based diet. How do you feel knowing that an animal is killed in order to produce cat food? If all humans were vegan, would it be ethical to still raise animals for slaughter for our meat-eating pets?
Am i crazy if i laught when i see derek smile all the time , idk is like you are sending happyness to me , love you
Our microwave broke about 5 or 6 years ago. I love that we can’t use it. My family wasn’t a fan but have gotten use to this. We still have it and use it for the light and fan that is over the stove. Lol Thanks for the great content and beautiful views.
you look so lively here! I love the waterfall footage! it takes me back to my summers in upstate NY
Love your videos 😘 blessings from San Antonio Texas 😘
Hey Derek, what’s your thinking on rest days? Do you schedule regular rest days? How often? Do you skip rest days occasionally?
I remember him saying that he does Push, Pull, Push, Pull, Legs then Rest. But seems like he's mixing things up a little more lately
LOVING These ask me mondays outside in beautiful nature 😍!!
Wow to that 13 year old vegan, you are ammmazing super inspiring 👏👏👏👊
Katie Pecotich So inspiring! I wish I became vegan that early ❤
I´m 16 and im trying but alot of people are talking shit about my food
+GroenSkillz im 15 and more people are finding out that im vegan ,same problems here
To you younger peeps, just remember, you’ve done way more research on what you’re eating than they have. They just don’t understand. Try to let it slide off you and throw kindness back at them. 😊
+Adrian Centoni thanks bro!!!!
Dude the video is awesome, the music worked well with the wild nature drone tour, i could be mesmerised in that footage for hours!
Waterfall AMA was epic, the water added power to your message :P
Thanks for your shared passion, your talks, footage and environment is epic!
What amazing drone footage. Thanks so much. I live on the coast of Oregon which looks very similar. Being outdoors is the best therapy. Appreciate all your good advice and candor. Love you're videos.
was wondering what your thoughts are on the idea of combining a vegan diet with a ketogenic diet? making my fats and proteins higher but limiting my carbs.
Really appreciate this channel, it’s been a great help in me going veggie.
Hi Derek, great video! I loved the part where you showed your vulnerability (again) and talked from your heart. Keep meditating and keep doing that! The notion that there were a hairline issue, never crossed my mind until you mentioned it. So... If you ask me: show your hair as long as you have it - It looks great!
Love Mondays!! Great to hear about why you studied holistic nutrition!
After watching at least 50 of your videos over the past year or so, I have come to the solid conclusion that you are a genuine and good guy, Derek. Please stay that way, and thanks for your perspective. You have much more influence than you probably think. On another note, what do you think of Mic the Vegan's video on the possible dangers of protein powder?
11:12 best smallmouth bass fishing spot!!
When you buy the bamboo.drill a hole in each section and squeeze cement lime or cement liquid or sauce form let it dry and it will stay much longer
Someone else recommended this. Is this a proven practice?
If you inject self expanding foam inside the bamboo that will increase the strength of the bamboo several fold. The foam keeps the walls of the bamboo from buckling. One way to do this is to drill a hole the size of the straw on the spray foam can into one end of each cell in the bamboo. Do all the holes in a line. Then with the pole vertical and the hole at the top spray foam in. Probably hard to know exactly when you have sprayed in enough liquid, but I don't think overfilling will be a problem. Some foam should be forced back out of the hole. After the foam has set, just use a sharp blade to cut the foam off flush. Then mount the pole so that all the holes you drilled so that they are on the top since top of the pole is in compression and the bottom is in tension. Holes don't reduce the strength as much when they are on the compression side than if they were on the bottom. Sorry I am a mechanical engineer and this triggered my problem solving/engineering side.
Don't be sorry. I appreciate the help. Hmmm, really? Increasing the strength by putting holes in the top? Would water eventually seep in or would the foam seal that out? And thanks for the explanation on what side to put up or down. I love stuff like that. Makes sense in my head. :D
The foam should seal it out. The way it makes it stronger is that the foam keeps the bamboo sides from buckling. The effect is the same as a soda can. Before it is opened with high pressure inside you can easily stand on the can without it crumpling because the pressure and the liquid inside keep the thin metal walls straight so that your weight passes straight down to the ground. Now if you open and drink the soda and try to stand on the empty can there is nothing keeping the thin walls straight and so they easily buckle and the can gets flattened. So in the same way the foam should help keep the walls of the bamboo rod straight so the bending forces from you hanging on it either press straight through the top (as compression) and the bottom (as tension).
As for why have the holes in a line on the top, I think I want to revise my recommendation that the holes align on top to instead recommend that the holes align so that they are on the side (or sides since you could alternate them from one side to the other. The top and the bottom are the parts of the rod that carry the most force (compression on the top and tension on the bottom). The sides by comparison carry little force and so the weakening due to the holes shouldn't have as much an effect. Also, while the foam should seal out any water, having the holes on the sides will keep also help keep the water out.
Hi Derek, great channel. Just wondering if calisthenics is enough to correct posture. Should I be focusing on posture first or just allow it to sort itself out?
Question: what do you think about cold showers for various health reasons (weight loss, boosting metabolism, waking you up in the AM, good for skin/hair). lve heard a lot of the benefits but wondering what your take is on It?
Love your channel btw, always look forward to coming home on Monday and watching your AMM vid!
Maria i would just try it , for some people it helps and for some it doesn’t.
I bet it's awesome! I just can't get into it... Literally. Sorry, bad joke. Lol.
Hi Derek! here again. I`ve seen a lot of your videos, and actually some of them a few times to refresh the info. I noticed you haven´t talk about wheat. I would like to hear what you got to say about, rye, wheat, oat, etc. Regards from Argentina!
I've seen him avoid gluten. Went bread free for a time, then started eating gluten free. Something like that
I know, like the corn torillas for example. But I wanna know the reason why. *And I would like to know if his oat is gluten free or regular oat contaminated with other grains.
I think it made him feel bloated and heavy, so he stopped and liked the results. But lets see if he answers!
You didn't ask for my opinion, but I'll say it anyway =]. I'm against the gluten hunt that's been going on lately. I've been eating home-made sourdough bread for a while now and it is WONDERFUL. For me the problem is the way bread is made nowadays, not with its 3 ingredients, but with 30+; and not with natural fermentation but with processed stuff that doesn't break things down enough.
Well yes, I read about that too. But on the other hand I found some doctors finding that gluten is really bad. Since I developed a bowel disorder, I have to moderate the intake of gluten or avoid it suting some periods. I just want to hear another opinion about it.
Yeah I get it, could be bad for people with intolerance. But what I can't understand is how a food that's been the foundation of many societies is really bad. It's like saying that starch is bad for our digestive tract =]
I really appreciated the last question, so much. I have gone and come back to veganism purely because i know it's the right thing to do but there is so much contradictory advice! I believe in a very slow transition personally otherwise you risk alienating yourself from what could be an amazing lifestyle and healthy body.
You have beautiful hair ❤️🌌
Thanks for answering my question! Love your nature walks!!!!
you are the light. Thank you for offering abundance of your knowledge! Lots of love and respect from Japan 🍠
Your vlogs always make me smile.
Question for the next AMM: What are your opinions on lab grown meat? Would you be opposed to eating lab grown meat like chicken etc and why? I get this question a lot as a vegan and I can't see myself ever eating meat or something grown in a lab, although if people are going to eat meat I personally would prefer they ate lab grown meat so there isn't any animal suffering and less environmental impact. Love the AMM series!!
That part of the world you live in...looks like paradise! - hope I get to visit some day. Keep up the inspirational work mate!
Thanks for creating such excellent content, I love the nature backgrounds!
Question! I’m new to the channel but have been absolutely loving it! I am from New England in the US so we do get cold winters as well. I’ve noticed that you have a cool setup in your backyard for your calisthenics... how do you adapt in the winter months? It seems like it would be too cold or snowy! Also btw I just love the Canadian accent and lingo since I have ancestry from Quebec. Love your channel! It’s binge-worthy! 💚
I personally dont have a mircowave. I dont like the way they make food heated in it taste different. I heat my food up in a pot on the stove or I just eat my food cold. People think I'm werid but I dont care.
Dr. Greger suggests not to consume flaxseed oil but ground flaxseed for an optimal omega 3-6 balance. In 2007 vegan athlete Brendan Brazier suggested in his book 'The Thrive Diet' to take 80% hemp oil, 10% flaxseed oil and 10% pumpkin seed oil for salad dressings for an optimal balance of essential fatty acids. Two contradictory opinions... What is your take on this?
My oldest daughter and I have been vegan/WFPB exclusively since Jan but have tinkered with it since 2006. My question is my daughter has made me a proud grandma of a one year old grand baby who is being raised vegan. How can we carefully incorporate and teach him why others in our family and other friends aren’t vegan. How do we explain why and prepare him for all the questions he is going to be faced with?? Thanks for all the great vlogs!
Thank you for aiming for the masses 👍
Hey Derek, love your videos. You're a huge inspiration and one of the reasons i went vegan a year ago. Do you ever find yourself overeating or craving fruit more than you should? If so, what are some ways you help tone down these two things?
Question for next AMM: Are you keeping up with your meditation practice? If so, what method or technique have you found that works best for you? (active meditation still counts)
Your energy is great in this episode!
Hey Derek, for a future AAM, what is the difference between Holistic nutrition and conventional nutrition? What made you choose one over the other? I want to pursue the nutritionist pathway as well and some wisdom from you would come handy! Thanks Derek, you're the best!
Plus bamboo is environmental friendly! 😊
No Derek, we love the longer videos! More questions answered means happier fans and a better chance of connecting someone to a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for all that you do! 💖🌱
Your energy is amazing! Love it. Keep going 😍
Great content Derek. Question : do you do barbecues? If yes then what foods do you use for it? Season is coming and all I can smell is meat from grill. What to do on a barbecue where everyone eats meat and not look like a weirdo? It's my first time as a vegan, gonna be tough...
This is awesome simnett!🖒 I have actually recently been thinking about also becoming a nutritionist as I would love to learn more about food and our body and to actually help people. And maybe one day I can be like you also helping people on youtube and making the world a better place.😊
Question for everyone: when you first went vegan did you find anything difficult or get anything wrong? What advise would have helped you when starting out?
For me it was not cooking enough (I was in the final year of my law degree so pretty lazy at cooking) so I relied a lot on processed foods or rubbish protein sources and it did feel like I was compromising on taste to go vegan.
Great video Derek and really strong of you to share your personal life. Go 200k!!
I was concerned about these microwave rumors too, ever since Iam on the road traveling a lot again right now i find myself using it a lot...and i don't mind at all.
I love to "really" cook when Iam in my own kitchen, while traveling...right now its just comfortable tho. And I still keep on eating what i want (healthy, vegan meals) so...works fine for me :-)
And yea...about the gentle way, kinda makes sense as well. I sort of stream my veggies/foods in there (putting a plate on top) and for tofu - tempeh or such i just leave the lid of and its getting crisp.
cheers & thanks for the video
My 2-yo (vegan) daughter loves watching your intros, she sits there and says “woooooowwww!” Over and over.
Derek, I am 2yrs a vegan but havent noticed significant body fat loss. Currently 30yr 5ft6in and 167lbs. I workout 5to6 days a week (45mins at least) and eat mostly whole foods. I can't break past this weight. Don't want to be labeled as the "Fat Vegan". Any suggestion or insight would be much appreciated. Want to be a positive light for vegan lifestyle. Thanks, great vids as always and can definitely relate to why you went plant based.
Great channel! I have been vegan for a few months now. What is your favourite source of plant protein? Apart from protein powder, what is your next staple source of protein?
Thanks for your great work Derek. My question is: do you think it makes any difference gains-wise to workout in the morning or in the evening? Thank you! Love you
Great video, Derek! You've visited the UK and I know you love California, but have you ever thought of visiting some other places around the world like Africa, Asia or South America? We have some great calisthenics gyms here in Cape Town and veganism is growing strong. I'm sure lots of people would love to show you around, myself included.
Your artsy drone shots are giving me liiiiife!
We use the metric system in ireland but still use the imperial for construction and other uses sometimes!
Today’s my birthdayEnjoying your videos. I’ve always been interested in nutrition. Hate animals suffering Today is my first day I’ve never going back to eating animal anything. I have it mostly raw veggies and fruit before and felt amazing but I need to learn how to cook and prepare some satisfying vegan dishes. That is going to be key and help me to lose a ton of weight that I packed on just eating what other people were eating. To the tune of 170 pounds. I would say on 320 pounds I have a good amount of muscle always being active and continuing to try to work out. I can probably say my goal weight would be 150 pounds at 5 foot seven female. I will send up till age 23 . I’m excited To make the change and it helps knowing there’s a large community out there that have so much in common with the vegan lifestyle. Health and fitness enjoying life. Saving the animals and our earth.. I worked as a hospice Nurse for a couple years and I know all the suffering that I saw the most part was preventable. Thank you for sharing and being there. I I think maybe I should take some before pictures because I’m planning an amazing transformation.👍🏻🌸
No need to promise a shorter video. Perfect from start till end :)
Great content. Wise council. Beautiful scenery.
Derek, your energy is so freakin infectious. Please keep doing what you're doing :) I can't wait to meet you one day!
Which foods, exercises, routines and products do you recommend for someone who is trying to optimize their sleep? Thank you Derek for all of your amazing content! 👍🏻
Great video in a great location as always! Loved every second of it!
Firstly, I love your page!! Your videos are packed with great info! I may have missed you covering this, but, what are your thoughts on things like homemade cheeze sauces? The recipe I use is oil free.
Thanks for what you do man this keeps me going ! Keep it up
lol!!! you were soooo hyper in this video. Loved it :) and don't worry about the length, 20+ minutes of watching you is the best part of my day!
Great job on the B-roll man! That drone footage is so good! 👏
HOLY MUSHROOM VIBES!!!
Informative as always! Thank you ✌🏻
Ergonomic is the word you're looking for! For the bamboo feel in your that is
Hey Derek, Love your videos you have been such a help in my vegan fitness journey. I am a big fan of body weight exercises but end up getting painful calluses. Do you have any advice on dealing with calluses? or preventing calluses?
Hi Derick, really enjoying watching your videos after my workout routines! Do you have any recommendation on joint supplement or any plant base foods that can support our joint?
My first car came from Canada. Never had a clue how fast I was going 😂 it was a cool car though. It was a Chrysler Neon. Never saw another one that was actually labeled Chrysler and not Dodge or Plymouth. Confused mechanics and parts places
It feels good to be there. Waterfall is better than beach. The water is cool and the air is fresh. :)
Have you tried reinforcing a bamboo pull-up bar with a rod or pipe inside it? Finding a good fit might be more trouble than it's worth, but it could buy you an extra season or two.
Hi Derek! 2 quick questions: what are the ingredients of nutritional yeast? are quinoa and amaranth whole grains if not specified?
About the "not eating the animal even though it's dead" part. If I went with that line of thought, then i shouldn't mind eating it if it's already served by another person to you (which is different from buying it yourself from the store). This is why, if I were to go vegan, it would be because it would feel more natural to eat what grows straight from the ground. So, I prefer a vegan diet, and I enjoy it more, and it feels natural, it's colorful, exciting to me, and I wouldn't hurt an animal, but I will eat (or taste) what someone has prepared by love and is excited to serve after a lot of thought, and it does not affect the "store demand". To me personally, I would eat meat as a blessing if this is what was available, but I would not want to mindlessly and impulsively eat it as a hunter who would hunt for more than meat and as a game.
Hey Derek, AMM are pretty much my favourite thing on youtube. Keep up the good work!
Do you have any tips on craving sugar/sweet stuff. I've been trying to lean out a bit, so I cut out the sugary stuff from my diet and since then I've been craving even more sweets. Distracting myself or eating fruit doesn't really substitute the chocolate craving...
Crazy good B-roll man! Appreciete it!
Your AMMs are the best! I missed the "Bink. Binkbink. Bonk. Bonk." though :) WRT nutrition confusion -- I was obsessed, constantly looking things up, but of course the best thing is to experiment on oneself which is what I'm doing now. The things is it takes time, patience, & prolonged focus to learn from the experimentation process! I've found it easier since I've gotten rid of Facebook and am taking an indefinite break from instagram -- rewiring my brain for focus rather than distraction! I have a 7 month old baby, that's distracting enough... haha. Anyway, as always, thanks for the great content ♡
Oh and I am so heartened by your selfless nature, helps maintain my faith in humanity. We're all like "dude where yo patreon at, take our money!" & you're just so humble & wholesome. It's admirable. I'm so glad you have such a huge platform here. Also please post the garden video, so many would benefit from it! I always say "Growing your own food is like printing your own money".
As always Derek I love your videos, when I was a kid I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that we had to eat animals to survive my goal was to be vegetarian and now vegan. Thank you for being inspiring. 🌼
