I had the opposite happen to me. Since being vegan I no longer have PMS or PCOS. My hair is healthier and longer and so is my skin. Moral of the story is to do what is best for you. Please do not do a diet because someone else is doing it. Everyone is different.
Same! Allergies went away. Daily nose bleeds were a thing of the past. Large and painful cysts on my thighs were completely gone. My only thing is now I gained weight and the skin on my face is more textured. But other than that, this vegan lifestyle has brought me more good than harm.
@@mylifelivedlovely same I was also able to conceive and have a baby. My cycle regulated as well. This lifestyle has done only positive things for me personally.
Yasssss! I'm tired of influencers" influencing" others everytime they change what they want to do.Its guilt for preaching and being an extremist. Money has to be made I guess
@@mylifelivedlovely do you take vegan omega 3 it might help with the textured skin
Agree! I lost 70 pounds, blood pressure went down, anxiety/ depression went away, skin started glowing. Everyone should listen to their own body!
I have no problem with folks switching their diet for what works for them. I was vegan and now am not. The only thing that seems questionable in this video for me is the all-or-nothing belief in different identities and systems. For instance, you've gone from championing the health of veganism to now claiming that there are "no scientific studies" that back up meat as a cancer causing agent...I know people who eat meat and STILL acknowledge it as a probable cause for cancer. It is a red flag for me when we warp reality to fit our own path rather than just owning our path despite what may be contradictory. I say this in the spirit of healthy debate, because I believe as long as we are so attached to different thought systems, swinging from one to the other, we will find ourselves far from peace.
The only sane comment on this comment section.
Exactly!! She is full of shit plus the "facts" are b.s and made up smh
She is admitting that she was wrong. Nothing wrong with that.
It’s simple. She wants to eat animal products. But she knows she was against it before and talked a great deal about that, so now she has to make up and dig for reasons to tell why she’s eating meat again.
Notice how she said she was better after having eggs and butter alone. But then she still started eating beef. Why? If you’re better and don’t need it, what was the point? Well there isn’t one other than it tastes good and she wants it.
There have been past videos of her admitting to being easily swayed by doctors lectures and books. She’s never had a stable opinion on food for being a “nutritionist”
Just really goes to show how much your OWN body determines what you need and not other people’s bodies.
i’m literally crying. i’ve been vegan for the animals for 4 years. this past year or so i’ve 1) lost like 50% of my hair 2) developed that cystic cheek acne 3) had a hard time losing weight & also gained a lot of weight from binge eating 4) brain fog, dizziness, and irritability has just become my norm. this was extremely eye opening and it’s such a hard decision for me to make but at this point my body is failing at 21 and i think i need a change in diet to help, i was just too blind to see. thank u so so so much for this insight and your sincerity :)
@@TheBookOfEliSha at first i was a junk food vegan. but this year i’ve been really big on health food and excersize to lose weight, eating mostly veggies like leafy greens , fruits, legumes, tofu, grains, and trying to be whole food based. it’s just been really frustrating bc i feel like i’m doing everything right, no fast food/processed food/soda yet my body is still telling me something is wrong:(
Be sure you get enough vit D. Sun.
Listen to your body and not anyone on the internet telling you “you did it wrong”. I suffered for 5 years on the vegan diet and had all the same issues you are experiencing. Nothing helped. I tried EVERY vegan alternative. I spent literally thousands on supplements and powders and this and that trying to find a vegan solution. I exercise and get outside daily and I covered all my basis on a vegan diet. I ate so clean and all whole plant foods eating lots of fat and protein and carbs. Wasn’t enough. I tried different macros, I tried it all. I was suffering. Within weeks of introducing high quality animal foods into my diet my health came back. My acne went away but now I’m left with awful acne scars. My hair is finally back to how it was before I went vegan. Seriously DO NOT listen to people on the internet telling you to try this or that vegan solution. Give your body what it needs. Beef liver saved my health!
Eat fish & egg !!! It helped me
@@TheBookOfEliSha I never told them to do anything other than listen to their body and if it’s falling apart, you’ll know. If it needs animal foods, you’ll know. I only said taking beef liver saved MY health.
I am 48. My husband was recently diagnosed with virus induced heart failure. Not ONE cardiologist, nutritionist, or doctor has told him to eat meat and butter. On the contrary. He has gone plant based and I cannot believe the positive results and how this has turned his life around in such a short amount of time. It is amazing!❤
Yes, when she said that lard is good for the body, I had to pause. She's completely off the hinges.
@@thetruthhurts599 It's easy to think that when you're not up to date on the science & evolution of mankind or the many indigenous cultures who consumed such fats and were in perfect health.
Exactly! I’m glad your husband is doing better
@@Noreason2bvegan Actually I am indigenous and these cultures suffer the same issues of heart disease and plaque. They are happier and healthier because of community and spiritual connection, but life expectancy is the same as any other culture that consumes animal products, it lowers in direct proportion to how much you eat
The world's healthiest population eat 90 percent plant based. Not 100.
Sometimes people get addicted to the idea of… it becomes part of one’s identity to be this or that, I am glad you found what works for you and your body.
This is so true.
This🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
100% true!!!
It´s epigenetics. If your anchestors did eat a lot of greens, you will be much more healthy if you follow a plantbased diet. If your anchestors ate mostly meat, your body might be having a lot of problems if you try a completely vegan diet.
For me personally, and in that you are right with your thought process, it´s not only where we as humans came from but where we want to go evolutionary.
Your age also matters. If children and teenagers eat a diet, their body and gut develop through the diet you eat. So if you start out veganism early on your body will be much more likely to have the right hormonal and bacterial starting point to live and thrive on a plantbased diet.
When people get older, they can also digest plants more easily. Their gut is much more diverse and the nutrients old mammals can absorb will decrease a bit, since your bodily functions become slower. That´s probably because in the grand scheme of things, it was important for older beings to live on less nutrients, so their offspring could survive and with them their genes.
Yes, people do get addicted to the idea of becoming vegan, vegetarian, raw foodist, keto, paleo, etc. It’s not about identity it should be about eating healthy and taking good care of your body. People may say they want to do a certain diet but the heart is not really there for various reason. Also, we have to take care of the mind, body and soul not just the body. If we eat healthy yet stress out, stress will basically undo the good you are doing. Also, people need to cleanse and improve gut health so your body can better absorb nutrients. Also, people eat certain ways but do not get blood work done to see what you are lacking or if you are doing something excessive. I was vegan 10 years ago but stopped because I realized I did not have complete understanding of how to efficiently prepare vegan meals. Now, I eat plant base but add salmon and try to eat rainbow of colors. Limit nits and legumes. I eat various foods in moderation. Basically I combine plant base/ Mediterranean / anti inflammatory diet.
I actually had the opposite experience with animal fats. I had TERRIBLE acne for 15 years. I cut out all dairy and went low oil and my skin has been clear since! My body feels amazing. I believe that we all have different bodies. We must listen and truly hear our bodies. What works for me may not work for you and that’s okay. I think I could never get past the ethical dilemma of consuming animal products though, but that’s just me. Sending you love and I’m happy you’re feeling better!
Yea similar experience with animal products
That because she is spouting utter nonsense. ua-cam.com/video/xkIhXafrYek/v-deo.html
@@shawns4354 yes I know. I come across many study that suggest whole food plant base diet is made for morden humans
Yes similar experience once I cut out all animals fat and said I felt soo much better☺️☺️☺️
Same
I went through something very similar. Veganism helped me so much in the first 3 years, after that, I slowly deteriorated and crashed going into year 7. I started dreaming of and craving animal foods, which felt like a betrayal to my ethics, but my vegan ego was actually betraying my body. I now eat intuitively, and feel so much better! Thank you for sharing your story, let's us previous vegans know we weren't imagining these health issues, and we're not alone in the healing process.
This is what I experienced as well. Even taking the proper supplements and meticulously counting macros I found with plant based eating I hit a wall about 2-3 years in. I've done plant based on 4 separate occasions. I admire people who can make it work for them and they are vibrant and feel great, and I admire people who are willing to sacrifice their personal health for a cause they believe in, but I knew my body was sick and I needed it to heal. I was so invested in veganism as such a huge part of my identity that I wasn't sure what to do with myself once I transitioned away.
You healed yourself so that you could become balanced! 😌
My story was similar I just think to each our own because we are all different I went back to eating meat but not as much as before I became vegan I will never go back to that but for my individual health eating organ meat is healthier but this isn’t going to be the case for everyone.
My thoughts exactly I don't know how I can do it though I feel so bad to eat animals, I darent but I feel so horrid..
Exact same thing happened to me as well! First 3 years I lost weight and felt amazing and at age 27 (7 years vegan) I developed a hormonal imbalance, hair loss , very pcos like symptoms etc
You were the first person that sparked my curiosity and eventually aided in my transition to veganism and for that I’ll be forever grateful for you. I am writing this before I watch the whole video bc these thanks will be there no matter what
Very well said. I agree. And I appreciate you having the courage to tell us this
Absolutely 💯
I agree with everything you said.
@@niaimanicooper7757 it takes no courage to tell people why we no longer pay for tortured animal flesh. What takes courage is admitting wrong it is and sometimes stopping, due to its addictive nature
She is an evil narcissist
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO TRANSPARENT AND MAKING THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO! I've been struggling with this for sooo long!! It started getting really bad in my second pregnancy. I did not eat meat, rarely used cheese or butter and drank almond milk. Around the second half of my pregnancy my health started to decline horribly. I looked exauhsted my skin was losing color and i had no energy. That fourth of July, my family and I went to a friends and they made steak. I remember looking at that steak for a long time with such guilt before I cut into it. When I tell you, even the HOURS following the digestion of that meat made a HUGE difference. I already started feeling much better. I can't say all this time I haven't been guilty though. And I'll go through periods where I make myself not eat animal product as well as I.F. and it's been really hard lately. You speaking on this is a huge relief, and I've got so much gratitude for you for doing so. Have a beautiful weekend my love, you are so appreciated!! ✌️ 💜
I love that you mentioned genetics, ppl tend to think that the human body is the same for everyone. What works for one person may not work for another. We don’t have to follow one particular ideology because it’s mainstream, just do what your body NEEDS. And I really appreciate your honesty☺️ ❤️
The human body is indeed virtually the exact same for everyone. There's less genetic variation across every single human on the planet than in even single populations of our closest relative species. The idea that one human body needs something other than another is total nonsense with zero basis in reality, and everyone can not just achieve perfect health on a 100% plant-based diet, but it's literally the only way to achieve optimal healthy for humans.
It's hilarious that people like try to speak about ideology, and yet you're constantly spewing the same delusional carnist death cultist ideology yourselves.
I was vegan for 4 years. 1st year the best year of my life. 2nd year i felt my body had cleanse and now began to deteriorate. 2nd year of veganism i got gut problems, acne acne joint paint, started losing hair, 3rd year all my molars needed root canal and started to have mental issues. Year 4 I compared my photos and I was a completely a different shade of skin very yellow, very flat, my kidney developed stones, my sunken eyes were really noticeable, my face structure had changed. I gave it up. The healing process with meat, eggs, and good quality dairy has healed it all.
How long did it take to see good recovery
@@donoyster5309 skin, mental health sunken eyes, and acne about 6 months. I then i had come off completely from greens and that improve my kidneys and digestive issues. I would say full recovery about 2 years. My molar were forever ruined so I fixing and doing them as they become a priority and my insurance/FSA allows
A balanced diet is what a human requires, I think some of the ingredients they put into vegan food is questionable and inevitably bad for us.
Oh snap
Wow! You suffered so much in such a short period of time. I wonder if you were nutrient deficient before you even started the vegan death diet?
We’re all living a human experience. Constantly changing and evolving is just apart of life. I observe people’s story and truths but I don’t get entangled in them.
Facts.
*a part not apart

this right here.
so true!
This RIGHT here!!
I did vegan for 6 years, I ditched it for eating "Intuitively" for my body's needs. Added "some" fish and "some" pasture-raised eggs and butter. Feel loads stronger. Doubt I'll go back to beef, turkey, or chicken; however, I swear by bone broth by Kettle and Fire. I'm interested in getting a recommendation for the liver supps. Great video, V ~
I love the one from vital proteins!
I got to try that bone broth, thanks.
Love your message. I was vegan for years until I got pregnant. I started having meat cravings/ salmon cravings, etc and realized this was intuitive eating. I was missing key minerals and proteins while growing a human and decided to indulge in those cravings and felt IMMEDIATELY better. After pregnancy I want to continue eating for my body’s needs.
Beef, chicken and turkey are great, go for it. Happy you left the vegan losers
I relate. After being vegan for years I started eating fish, eggs and bone broth and it has helped me feel so much better!
Thank you for your authenticity EMM 💚💚💚💚 My holistic health journey has brought me currently to a place of what I like to call vegan-ish. I am meatless, fish-less and open; meat is no longer a part of my journey, atm. Along with intermittent fasting (which has been an epiphany for me), I have begun to garden. I know that the Spirits sent you to deliver these words you spoke in this video as I was just contemplating regenerative farming. So, again, thank you and be blessed 💚💚💚💚
I appreciate you being brave enough to make this video. I had to make a similar one a couple of years ago after being vegan for 2 years. The beginning was amazing! But after about 9 months my health started declining. WBC count dropped, brain fog, no sleep/or oversleep, fatigue to where I couldn’t even work out anymore, loss of period, skin started breaking out bad, the list goes on. All that and my labs were damn near normal…but I knew something wasn’t right. I caved in and gave salmon a try, and eventually eggs and animal products and my health has improved tremendously since! Also got a test called Nutraeval to get me back on track!
I’m happy for you 👏🏽👏🏽❤️
I volunteer at a raw dairy micro-farm. Our raw milk, cheese, butter, cream, and whey taste NOTHING like the crap in the grocery stores. Raw dairy tastes alive and vibrant. I can feel in my body that it is a high-vibrational food. The most important thing is to make sure the cow has an organic, majority grass fed diet. We give our cows grass, alfalfa, hay, a couple scoops of grain, and leftover organic veggies from the garden. You can taste the essence of the cow in the raw dairy. It sounds crazy, but high quality raw dairy is truly magical and healing.
SMH. When I started eating those foods I ended up in the worst health of my life, worse than when I ate a SAD diet.
It is also baby calf growth food. Not human food. What happens to the babies?
What do you do with the babies?
do you have any knowledge or information about raw dairy while pregnant? i’ve seen so many things that pregnant people need to only consume pasteurized products like milk and juices so i’m curious about raw dairy now!
@@dhsredhead Were they raw or pasteurized products? The entire point is that raw is completely different from pasteurized. I also have health issues from pasteurized dairy which is why I switched to raw and never felt healthier!
Thank you for doing this. I was vegan for about 5yrs then added salmon back to my diet but not fully last year. I noticed doing that my “thin hair” was now much fuller. About 2-3 months ago I started adding chicken,eggs and butter back to my diet. Boom! Complete difference along with incorporating exercise. Excess weight falling off, regular periods, no more brain fog, no anxiety and very minor pms. My skin even has a better glow. I still have meatless meals but a few times out the week I add meat in. I make sure to purchase quality eggs and chicken. It costs more but it's so worth it. ❤️
Earth Mama Medicine seem to touch a nerve with some people. It's sad that people get so defensive when a person makes a decision that is best for them. I feel that people have choices, and it's ok to make a choice that suits your needs. If you don't like what Earth Mama Medicine said, then don't watch her videos. Attacking her is so unecessary.
That's sad that people would attack someone over
THEIR decision Whats best for them
Some of y’all didn’t hear the part where she said get your gut tested to see what YOUR BODY IN PARTICULAR needs and it shows. She is telling us out of her own mouth what was going on with HER body. It’s amazing if YOU didn’t/don’t have the same experience, but she (and a lot of other folks) have this same or similar experiences. Get YOUR gut checked and see how YOUR body is doing and go from there. I’m sorry but that “I had to pause when she told us lard is good for us” comment had really got me tight asf. Her message is “getting your gut tested and having a balanced diet is beneficial and you should try it.” and some of y’all are acting holier than thou and ion likeeee det.
Annie people like to hang onto certain words in order to use them like a sword to tear apart a person. Like you said her message was to make sure one is tuned into their own body, have checks & know what is best for self......but we know folks don't know how to properly listen & it always shows! 🤦🏿♀️
She does say do whatever feels right for your body but then she contradicts herself by saying that she doesn't reccomend a vegan diet for anyone especially women- so what she's really saying is veganism isn't healthy. Also she probably just had a poorly planned plant based diet (as she stated she was on a raw diet) so attributing this to veganism as a whole is wrong.
Veganism isn't healthy long term, especially for women. That's an opinion she shared, along with also encouraging people to do what's right for their own bodies ❤️
the most sustainable/least harm diet is a local, seasonal, non-globalized diet. end of story. i am vegetarian myself. but that goes for any diet that you choose. factory farmed ANYTHING isn't good for the environment or for you energetically. the closer you are to your consumption the better. that goes for everythingggg you surround yourself with, not just food.
False.
Doesn't matter, if the Animal was factory farmed or raised on a green pasture, their final destination is a slaughter house ( Hell on Earth) filled with fear, anxiety, stress, sadness, anger, blood and death
Cool, so eat local non globalised WITHOUT the products that come from suffering, rape and torturing of other beings. I was vegetarian for 4 years, I know it’s hard, but you know the right thing. Just do it. We don’t need animal products to live. Compassion is more important than your taste buds.
@@romerome87 are you vegan now? 🤔
@@romerome87 The right thing to do according to who?? I wasn’t aware there was a human play book. Not everyone thinks the same way. Not everyone is meant to be vegan. Everyone has different paths.
Sis if you wanted to be ready for Thanksgiving turkey just say that 😂😂🤣 but on a serious note, do what’s best for you 🤷🏽♀️ I’ve been on my holistic journey for 16 years and vegan for 10 years. I didn’t think I would ever be meat free considering the way I ate prior to this. My skin is flawless, I have normal bowel movements, my recovery is faster if I hurt myself, etc. etc. Best wishes on your new journey
hahaha
Well according to her she stopped being vegan when she found out she was pregnant, so she been gobbling.
@@thetruthhurts599 It was a joke 😳
@@adventureswithadrienne and my response was a response to your joke. Did I say otherwise?
10 years is not actually that long, for some it takes 20+ before they see the permanent damage caused by veganism - things like degenerative disc disease, etc which are irreversible.
There’s nothing superficial about wanting animals to live and thrive without being killed. It’s freaking profound that we are probably the first species to say “hey, even though I could kill you, I won’t because I don’t have to.” Our empathy is our divine gift and it’s not superficial it’s PROFOUND!
Do you not care about all the helpless plants that die every day?! Sick
@@user-qt8zt6zg6w Plants have no central nervous system so they aren’t capable of feeling pain. It’s cute that you’re pretending to care though!
@@kwraback plants feel dumb dumb.
@@kwraback how do you know have you ever ben a plant?
@@marlonmoore5000When someone is injured, pain receptors are stimulated, which releases chemicals that are sent to the spinal chord, which carries the message to the brain where the thalamus receives it and relays the information to the cerebral cortex (pain-processing center of the brain). Plants have no nerves, spinal chord, or brain therefore there’s no way for them to process pain. They take in stimuli in their own unique way, but they aren’t able to feel things in the way we do because they don’t have a brain (hence why they aren’t sentient). If we didn’t have brains we wouldn’t be able to feel pain, love, anger, fear, etc. I learned these things in my anatomy and psychology classes (taught to me by teachers who are not vegan) but if you think there’s more accurate information out there I’d love to see a study from a reputable source (peer-reviewed).
Watch the follow up video, here: ua-cam.com/video/QZr1V0RwBy8/v-deo.html
I LOVE THIS! Currently on my 3rd pregnancy & began eating intuitively (animal products, 0 processed foods, very very low processed sugar) after many years vegan & vegetarian.
It has been my BEST pregnancy. I have never felt so balanced!
Love, congrats to you and ya bundle of joy
I ate a lot of meat, fruit smoothies, dark green veggies while pregnant - felt great. Congratulations!
This video resonates so much, like you I started to experience acne, cystic painful acne. I had up until that point in my life never had more than one pimple on my face at once. Then, the debilitating anxiety and depression...my hormones was going through it and I refused to believe it was my diet. Doctors, even family members would suggest I try to implement some animal products back into my diet yet I refused because I was so committed to this lifestyle and cause. I had to literally reach rock bottom before I honored myself and body and made the obvious change it was asking for. Since I made the switch about five months ago the acne is now very faint dark spots, anxiety and depression has subsided but most importantly I just feel better. To anyone reading this vegan or not please do not box yourself into any one thing, give yourself permission to change your mind.
“Give yourself permission to change your mind” 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Can you be more self centered and egoistic? If plant based food is not working for you but working for Olympic champions, maybe you need to learn a few things? Stop being so egoistic. Animals are suffering because of your ignorance and your entitlement. If you don’t do it for compassion for the animals, do it for the environment. You all spiritual people that eat dead animals, that pay people to murder beautiful loving beeings.. start the real journey to love and knowledge.
I'm a master skin care specialist with 22 years experience. Every single customer with cystic acne that I've treated was not vegan.
Humans eat the flesh of defenceless animals for NOTHING more than pleasure. No human alive needs flesh for anything, only some think their taste buds need it unaware that plants create the flavour
@@bbccensored4122 true. My cystic acne vanished along with all zits, pimples after the transition to veganism
Thank you so MUCH! I thought I was losing my mind. I have every symptoms as you. Thanks for the confirmation, concerning getting the GUT checked. I need part 2 thru 10, Thanks again💜!
If this human experience is about love why are we eating tortured animals ? That isn't love.
Humans have been eating meat since the beginning of time. It’s part of who we are at this point.
@Hello It's K wrong, we are not Biologically designed to consume meat, there is no debating the truth, unless ignorance is involved
@Hello It's K I worded that wrong I should of said we are not supposed to be consuming meat, read a book called mans higher consciousness, it’ll open your eyes if that’s what you want, or ignore me lol
Not all animals were tortured. Jewish people do not eat tortured animals, so stop assuming that.
KOSHER MEAT US OF ANIMALS WHO WERENT TORTURED. I HAVE ate fish we caught and didn't torture them.
As human beings we never stop learning, evolving and becoming who we are meant to be. It should be a constant evolution and we should be free to change courses in our lives whenever we feel the need to do so. Do what is best for you, eat what is good for you and makes you happy😉
🙏🏽 thank you!!!!!!

Eat plants or your hurting animals for taste pleasure and nothing more, that's fucking sick
@@ornenow4703 some of us care. only sick, dumb, ignorant people care not about this very important abuse caused to defenceless, sentient beings for taste pleasure
Girl, do you! We have the right to change our minds about life choices. Don't go from one extreme to the next by first being anti meat, to now being anti vegetables. Dont bash the vegan you used to be.. Be pro YOU! Have balance and do what's best for your own body. Don't worry about what others are or are not doing. That would help all of humanity 💯
I honestly couldn't agree more, Coffee Girl! "Be pro YOU" 👏 Mama, eat what resonates with you but now it feels like you're going from one extreme to the next. The down talk to your past ideals is really telling. Anything can become harmful if we make it dogmatic. If you need references for vegan pregnant moms, check out Sweet Potato Soul and Ellen Fischer's channels. Wishing you the best on your healing journey 💝
@@aohamer you are spot on! I was agreeing with her up to the point that it felt like, in order to justify eating meat again, she began bashing veganism. No need to do that. The vegan police aren't real, lol. I also used to be vegan until I got pregnant. I still incorporate vegan meals in my diet but I don't claim to be anything other than ME! I'm still a huge fan of this lovely woman and I hope this comment will be constructive criticism for the future💕
Imagine convincing yourself that vegetables are bad for you. Amazing.
🙏🏽❤️👏🏽👏🏽
Someone in the comments says they switched from vegans to eating intuitively. I co-sign that! Listen to your own personal body! Once you treat your addiction to sugar/salt/ etc (usually through fasting) it’s so EASY to tell exactly what your body is asking you for. And sometimes, it might be PROTEIN.
Please do a follow up video! This was so good and informative. I've slowly been integrating animal products, mainly eggs and some cheese from the village, and my body feels so much better. And I'm almost feeling shameful for feeling better by eating like this, but the body knows what it needs even if the head says otherwise.
I completely respect your transparency & listening to your body. I believe everyone should do what is best for them, I personally STRUGGLED with hyperthyroid & Graves’ disease since I was 18.
Personally a plant based diet reversed many of my horrible symptoms, plant based has given me my life back & been rocking with it for 9 years.
I will def be ordering a gut health test tho 🙏🏽
So has holistic teachings on nutrition and then goes have a scientific normal exam on a doctor? Ok. So she is spiritual and then goes and eats beautiful beings amethyst are on this planet to being love. You spiritual people that eat dead animals, that pay people to murder beautiful loving beeings.. start the real journey to love and knowledge. Go do the exam but then don’t blame it on veganism if you don’t like the results, blame it on your ignorance of plant based food. Olímpic champions are vegan. Glad you are cured now. But if you changed your diet for health reasons you are an egoistic self centered person as well.
You respect abuse of defenceless animals? That's fucked
She's not listening to her body but the parasites inside and the beef farmers money

Believe me, there is not a single ex-ethical vegan out there that did not have extreme guilt about switching back. We don't choose this lifestyle because it's fun or quirky, but there is a reason most people stop being vegan at some point. The human body is omnivorous, but as we both know, meat should not be consumed in the amounts it is today. Back in ye olden days, meat was an emergency food source in the winter. It was what you ate in January when the dried beans and wheat wasn't enough to fuel you and the ground was frozen. The modern diet uses animal products for breakfast lunch and dinner. That is definitely not what we were designed for. Ethical vegans like yourself and myself, choose not to consume these products even if they do have some health benefit for us. That is the end of what being an ethical vegan means, choosing not to consume out of the belief that no animal is lesser than us and all animals deserve to live and not be tortured. Your discussions about the contents of meat and animal products fall under health veganism.
@@genevievegreene1595 you are misinformed.. get educated and stop following people like her.
Shame on You V for spreading false information because the Vegan lifestyle doesn’t suit you any longer. You can just say you’re not vegan anymore and leave it at that. I forgot it’s all about views, subscribers and buying your s--. I admit it’s hard to transition but once you do like many vegans said here they feel so much better. I did it for ETHICAL reasons because I saw how the animals that we eat are treated more like furniture than sentient beings who breathe, feel PAIN, have families, give birth and who love like we do. It’s not okay to spread LIES about the vegan lifestyle. We aren’t a cult nor do we spread HATE. We are passionate and want to save the animals and the planet so we come across as being frustrated and hateful at times. I’ve been an ethical vegan for 8 years now and can’t ever imagine going back to eating dead carcasses, pus and hen periods. There is such a variety of healthy foods and also processed foods and so much information out there with reputable vegan doctors, vegan nutritionists..
BTW- look up Brian Turner and how his acne cleared up by transitioning to veganism 5 years ago. He has some great recipes and he is also a bodybuilder. Look up Nimai Delgado who has been vegan for decades and Bianca Taylor both bodybuilders loving the lifestyle. Look up Earthling Ed, Gary Yaroufsky, Joey Carbstrong a few activists if you’re interested in learning more how animals are treated before they end up on your plate. Chef AJ who tried every diet imaginable and vegan for decades. Look up Surviving Vegan, BadAss Vegan, Dominick Thompson, Shine with Plants, High Carb Hannah, Hench Herbivore who is also a nutritionist. Look up Dr. McDougall, Dr. Lisle, Dr. Essylstyn, Dr. Garth Davis, Dr. Angela Sadeghi and she will give you great advice because she is a gastroenterologist. Gojiman a vegan nutritionist and gives great gut advice.. Teal Swan, We have so many great vegans on You Tube that have been vegan not a day, a month or two but decades. There are great recipes that use almond and oat milk not milk meant for a baby calf.. no adult should be drinking milk. Flaxseeds and applesauce for baking instead of hen periods. Tempe, Seiten, Portabello Mushrooms, Tofu instead of dead carcasses. You can find so many meat alternatives if you miss it..
No excuses.. not in 2021 anymore.. Let’s Save the Animals and The Planet and do the RIGHT THING..
Watch Earthlings, What the Health, Dominion, Gamechangers, Cowspiracy documentaries on NETFLIX and a New documentary coming out this month called MILKED exposing the dairy industry. ALL FACTS..
Wake up people it’s 2021 we can live without eggs, milk and meat..
SHAME ON YOU for using veganism to exploit animals, use the movement to get more subscribers and views.
@UCGfXmBSfIbttsZUyYWy0wKA baby, if you have to insult people to get your point across, it's a weak point 👌. I've been vegan for over 2 years now. If your lifestyle is killing you, you have the right to stop following it. When does it become an act of self-harm or hatred?
Great video! I appreciate your honestly & insight. I've been playing around with different diets the past couple years and can totally relate.
Veganism is not a diet!
I appreciate you stepping up and being authentic with your incredibly important life choice! So many people worry about “how they look” rather than sharing very important messages. I appreciate you ♥️🙏🏻✨
i love u sm 🥺 im so glad you’re doing what’s best for you 💗💗 i love hearing about your story & i resonate so much with your experience! i was vegan from 2018-2020 and i had non stop vaginal infections that were awful and so hard on my self esteem. i stopped being vegan in april 2020 and it’s been great for my health and i no longer get the infections! thank you for sharing :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Quite literally since my 25th birthday my gut health has been the WORST and I struggle with PCOS! I haven’t been able to narrow down the info. I’m so excited to learn this from you!🧡
@Ellen Lane Yeah, a lot of people don’t realize that when are switching to a 100% plant based diet some people have to prepare their body to be able to eat that way because you have been eating meat for so many years. Lots of water and exercise helps a lot too for your gut as well.
People. This is why you have to trust your OWN research and your own information. Learn to dissect studies for your self. For. Your. Self.
I commend you for sharing where you are at! I have always enjoyed your videos. I love your energy and your honesty and integrity. I am 43 years old and have changed my mind many times as I learn and as my body changes. You are a beautiful light on UA-cam! I have learned a lot from you and appreciate your willingness to share! We are all human just doing the best that we can, with what we know at that moment! YOU HAVE MY CONTINUED SUPPORT!!✌🙏💖
I’m so glad to see this video. Just yesterday I was saying since I’ve stopped eating meat and dairy in 2015 my health has been on a steady decline. Acne, ovarian cysts, sleep apnea, anxiety and the list goes on. I will definitely be looking into a gut test. Thank you so much, I knew there was some truth to what was going on with my body.
I'll never forget a similar sit down talk you did when you were in the van. You were visibly beating yourself up over indulging in a non-raw meal, and you came to terms with how it was affecting you. When you had that heart to heart, I was so proud and that's was the moment I realized you're someone who I'd continue to follow. There is nothing more beautiful than someone who can be honest with themselves about their need to evolve. I can't imagine how difficult that might be to do under the lens of so many people with their irrelevant opinions, but you continue to do it again and again and it's so inspiring. I've loved seeing you make room for yourself in this way, and expanding in your compassion and understanding for others because of it. Keep letting yourself dig for truer truths, and loving yourself exactly as your spirit demands in the moment. You've got many people who support you for that divine quality, not for what you do or don't do, but for you are as you figure all that out. Peace and love, you beautiful being 💕
Wow. So well written. I hope V sees this one.
How can you be peace and loving if you eat death and suffering? If plant based food is not working for you but working for Olympic champions, maybe you need to learn a few things? Stop being so egoistic. Animals are suffering because of your ignorance and your self centered entitlement. If you don’t do it for compassion for the animals, do it for the environment. You all spiritual people that eat dead animals, that pay people to murder beautiful loving beeings.. start the real journey to love and knowledge.
@@romerome87 Thank you! Well Said. It amazes me how she and others don’t care about Animal suffering. I wish I could post some photos here of cows running after there babies when they are taken away at birth. The chickens in cramped cages and pumped full of hormones. The over-sized pigs in gestation crates who can’t move for years and blow up to 500 pounds for these peoples taste buds. It’s so f-- up. The piglets thrown against walls and castrated without painkillers lying in there own blood and feces. I’m the bad one because I decided to be vegan and stay vegan for the animals and I’m the bad one saving animals every day from abusive house-holds. There are countless documentaries she and others probably never watched because they are scared to face the truth. If athletes can stay vegan and be healthy for decades and decades, Chef AJ stayed Vegan for decades and decades and she originally went for health reasons. There is scientific Proof that this is the healthiest diet even though I call it a lifestyle. I get frustrated and angry at times because I see what happens to these poor sentient beings. Humans just aren’t connected. No connection whatsoever.. peace your way..
LA G 💚 absolutely!
@@lag1851 some of us are making connections, that's why we're here
Thank you for sharing your space, vulnerability, honesty and simply sharing human experience and lessons. Our perspectives change daily due to ever-evolving, new knowledge and awareness. This truly reminds me, us, we are to walk our own journey, take from what's around us to build us along the way, and just simply be, and those we are meant to connect with due to our own human experiences of "being", it will be, let it be, and let it do what it does, no approval from anyone but self, which is liberating. I have PCOS and it has been a very long journey of trial and error learning my body. This was hugely helpful for me in digging deeper. Much love. ❤
I’m happy that you’re happy. Most importantly, I’m happy that you’re healthy. Thank you for sharing your journey and helping others like me who have been back and forth with “to be or not to be” vegan. This is a tremendous help to me and my journey, understanding what my body has been communicating and giving me great insight in how to grow forward in the future. Please post more about your journey as well as what women can do to prepare a healthy life for motherhood. Peace 🌻
Thank you for this video. I used to be vegetarian and felt so fatigue and had brain fog all the time and eventually went back to eating meat and feel much better and my periods are regular now.
It does take just an ounce of reading effort to make sure you're getting your micros when you're eating plant-based. Laziness comes at a steep and bloody cost when it comes to food choices, unfortunate.
@@GandalfTheSilver It is impossible, because plants do not contain the adequate nutrition to sustain a human body. Ignorance is unfortunate.
@@cassandrasmom Could you elaborate on how exactly a vegan diet is lacking?
@@GandalfTheSilver that’s 100% not true. Plants do have all you need. If it didn’t work for you okay, but most of the proteins you get from animal products come from the plants they eat. Just saying.
Veganism is unhealthy. Cope
I was Vegan then RAW Vegan for a long time. I went back to meat and at first i felt more energy but then went down hill. Now i am back to plant based and feel better again. You have to drink lots of water get your herbs etc. If you have acne then something is wrong. We ened toknow what she was actually eating.
No, we don’t need to know what she actually eats. She need to do what’s best for her and not overly justify why.
@@girlanonymous Obviously what she is doing is not working if she is leaving a plant based diet. Sometimes it takes a community of caring people to assist. There are many great minds and spirits out there.... Some we will never know about due to our broken community and isolated lives. In the end it is all love and all things will be what they are meant to BE 333
Cause you didn't do low fat
Girl, I see and I feel you!!! I used to be vegan for almost 7 years, all those years I was struggling with:
- acne
- pms
- irregular menstruation
- lethargy
- problem with concentration
- non stop BLOATING which was making me feel hopeless, furious, and hating my body image
- sounds from my colon
- water and blood in my stool (which was never perfect, always yellow and loose)
- new and new food allergies
- premature aging (I’m similar age as you)
Etc etc etc
First I added eggs what made a difference, but still not healed me as I was basically eating vegan still. As long as I didn’t eliminate veggies, seed oils, beans (only chickpeas are suitable for me), kale, spinach and another vegan processed foods, I was still having really poor digestion and acne, lethargy was worse and worse.
I ended with a pregnancy bloated belly, depression, candida overgrowth. It was just too much, I decided to do something.
I started from low carb diet, added bone broth. It helped almost immediately to get rid of most of my bloating.
Then I tried… almost 90%… fruitarian diet to clean the waste in my colon, which really helped me normalize my stools and microbiota. (During that time I was eating eggs and salmon from time to time due to strong protein cravings).
After some time I experienced again low energy levels, increasing lethargy. I really felt intuitively that something is really missing in my body and diet. So I made a decision.
Switching to eating meat, broth, fish, lots of eggs, diary, supplementing buffalo liver pills and some amounts of fruits eaten separately made me feel like a brand new human being. Such a rejuvenation I am experiencing, heat coming from the inside of my body, high energy level, power for workouts, the skin is getting young and clear and more thick, metabolism is amazing and no cravings, no weight gain (even though I eat lots of saturated fats), no more messing up with my insulin.
That’s my shortly told story, happy to hear people like you, brave enough to speak the truth ♥️🙏🏻
Blessings!🌸🕊
Why do you eat fruits etc on different time from meat etc? If I may ask
I experienced hair loss and glucose fluctuations after being vegetarian (only eggs, no cheese) for 8 years. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic while I was a skinny, active, 28 year old woman. I was broken hearted when I found out I should eat meat again, but as soon as I did my entire body changed and my blood sugars are back to normal and my hair is slowly growing back to the thickness it used to be. Thank you so much for this video, I hope it sheds light on many people, it's not an easy one to make...
I appreciate her expressing what is important to her. Let’s just say…vegan just wasn’t for her. I do not encourage anyone to just go eat saturated fats and butter without get blood work/tests done. What works for one may not work for another. Know what is best for you. Don’t want anyone to start eating butter and then end up having a heart attack. More importantly, if your gut is not healthy you will not assimilate nutrition very well.. You could be eating a good diet but not assimilating the nutrients.
Know your body and what is best for your body! Don’t just go by how you feel…get blood work done to see if what you are doing is effective.
in a first moment I though just like you about the guts, but, by the video, it seemed to me that the bacteria in the gut was balanced because of the food change, so how would she balance the bacteria by eating the food that wasn't recomended to her gut health? it seemed that the diet was already wrong by the results of the test...
Yes we want all the details sis! If there’s one thing I learned from the cleansing that we all are going through throughout the planet, it’s that we need to stop lying ourselves and listen to our bodies more.
Edit: Some of y’all need to chill. The world doesn’t revolve around you, and you can’t force other people to follow your beliefs. Exactly why I left the so-called “conscious/spiritual community” after 12 years and haven’t looked back since! ✌🏾
Thank you thank you thank you for this❤ I use to watch your veggie videos because I followed the same diet. I had been veggie (mainly plant based) for 3 years, and despite feeling super energised and slim… I noticed my hair has thinning out massively and my face was just a mess… so much texture and spots everywhere. No matter how slim I was, I always seemed to have “belly fat”…. I made the decision to start eating eggs and dairy and I honestly felt so guilty… but I’ve learned that life is short! And we have to do what’s best for us. Everything in moderation. I do eat meat now… It’s taken me around 6 months to transition back to a meat diet and I’ve honestly haven’t felt this great and lean in ages... I look super defined and can lift the heaviest weight at the gym…
New subscriber 👋 this is the second video I watched as "I am done" came up in yt recommended yesterday. This video is what I needed to hear today. Ty for sharing. I look forward to watching more of your content. This video is not only helping me, but many others!!
This video came at such a perfect time for me because months ago I decided to stop labelling myself by what I eat (vegan, plant-based, etc.) and just eat what I want always, but still I kept feeling so much guilt around the animal products that I ate, and still do honestly. Thank you so much for this. I don't even have the words right now to even comment any of my own thoughts or questions haha but please, I would love a part 2, part 3, part 56 of this video. And thank you for the resources, I can't wait to go down the rabbit hole.
This is why I don't like embracing titles- bec then I'd feel like I'd have to live up to them, lol. I dont eat meat but i respect that other people do and i also respect that there is value in [nontoxic] meat. My Guidance has shown me that there are times when it is ok for me to eat [nontoxic] meat when the spirit moves me to. I also remember that certain types of chicken is healing for me over the years when I did eat meat. I prefer to simply go with the flow and I agree that since our bodies change, its best to change with it. I dont eat eggs for different reasons but for months Ive wondered if free roaming eggs might be conscience free for me. I think it is, I just havent gotten around to it yet although the Universe has delivered up several free roam eggs in my community. So... Yes, everyone should eat according to how they feel and that will look different for every person and may also change with the seasons. I Love this video and I thank you for making it and raising awareness that the only committment we have is to Ourselves and Honoring our body in any given moment is Appreciation. Much Love to You 💜
Lol, I feel like eating babies, I guess that's cool now, and what you are is a flexiterian and eating whatever moves you is a bad plan. With your statement about respecting people choice to eat meat I can eat babies just because it move me, I'm not monster I don't like labels.
Let go of guilt. You are right, our bodies change and so do our requirements. Get what you need, to be healthy. Be yourself. None of us needs to please anyone else. Good luck. Now go scramble some of those free range eggs in butter lol. Hugs.
💙
I love how we are always evolving and changing, kudos to you for being open about your journey 💜
Thank you for sharing this heartfelt wisdom! As a vegan with acne, as well as a person delving into the realm of regenerative farming, I've been on the fence about veganism for a while, noticing that my hormones have not been alignment for a long time (I've been on and off full veganism for seven years, starting at age 16). I have refused to entertain the idea of my vegan diet being a factor of poor hormonal health in the past, but now I am beginning to honestly look at my feelings towards animal protein, without flinching. These videos are an amazing resource to have during this time of transition that is tied up with health, morals and climate! I appreciated your video "This is Where your Food Comes From" for the same reasons.
I'm grateful for this internet community for allowing like-minded connections to be shared, and for your transparency and honesty with respect to the Earth and all of its creatures! 🙏
There is NO one way to living or existing and we should all be encouraged to do what's best for our conscience and our health. Great video V. 🇬🇾
Great because she says it's okay to continue this unhealthy, unnatural, cruel animal abuse for taste pleasure
Amen🎯🎯🎯🎯
@@Sassypantsinpink There's a lot of information on what foods can cause different diseases - for example raw spinach contains oxalates, causes kidney stones. Allergies are a different story of course. Organic foods don't have an advantage or it's minimal. You can't die of being vegan unless you're uneducated on well established nutrition. This video is a showcase of placebo and fake science, it goes against well established consensus and she's making literally false claims, like you can't digest plant protein at all - wtf?
This is completely synergistic 😌 Thank you for being bold enough to share your change! It's beautiful and such an inspiration!♾
I am so glad I found you, I've been watching your videos and I love the energy!
I tried veganism as well. Whole foods only and honestly, it just wasn't for me. I don't do well with a majority of the staples of vegan diets (oats, cereals, rice, beans, legumes...pretty much any type of grain). I have PCOS and doing it made my hair fall out and I was bloated all of the time (even with vitamins). It really isn't for everyone, and that's not a bad thing at all. I do best on beef, fish, veggies, and fruit. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Hi Veladya thanks for the video, I always learn so much from you. I really want to learn more about TCM can you please tell me of any good books, videos or other resources to learn from. Thanks. Glad to see you and Matt are still getting along. Much love to you all.
I’m not going to lie, I had almost the exact same thing happen to me. I was vegan for 4.5 years throughout college and then I moved to Atlanta. I was still vegan, but my entire lifestyle changed. There was no more miles and miles of walking to class, going to the gym everyday, and it wasn’t even me cooking all of my own meals anymore. Once my lifestyle changed, I started to feel that veganism wasn’t cooperating with my body any longer. So I switched back to animal products. I ate animal products for 3 years, until I eventually came back to veganism. Honestly, I feel like proclaiming this and that is a waste of time when it comes to someone’s diet. I got my degree in health sciences with a minor in chemistry and to be real the issue is how our food is being handled and produced on a global scale and how we consume it. ALL OF IT IS BAD, unless you’re growing/raising it yourself and even then you have to be conscious of where you’re purchasing your seeds/animals from. All of the companies are bad from Perdue to Vium. And this is not to bash anyones diet or choices. But with consumerism and the level in which humans consume not only foods, but skin care and beauty products, essential oils, nutritional powders, etc. How do we even know what’s really causing the damage? I’m sorry but no person or company is going to convince me that kale and sweet potatoes aren’t better for me than butter or a pork chop. lol it literally doesn’t add up. I think it’s okay for people to just say, I want to eat meat and/or animal byproducts. And it just be that and everyone will just have to accept it. At this point UA-camrs should be careful on diet advice in general, bc no one truly knows. And telling women we need things like animal fats in order to be healthy is a dangerous proclamation. But good luck on your meat journey my dear! I hope it restores the balance within your body. I think we will all continue to support no matter what you decide to eat at this point!
Love this ! People are still learning but teaching like they are satisfied where they are at.She use to research down why being raw vegan was the way .now doing the same energy with her transition. Just stop preaching what is right when she herself said she is still learning.

@@bbccensored4122 Exactly. Veganism is not just a diet and as plant based diets become more popular I'm seeing a lot more of a misunderstanding on what veganism is actually about, especially from youtubers.
Have you ever considered taking like a year long break from social media? INCLUDING UA-cam? I just don’t see how anyone can truly be focus on healing and be on social media so often.
This is something I’ve just come to terms with myself.
Take only what resonates of course. 💚✨
I did it last year! It was seriously life changing. I did Keep UA-cam. I would like to do it again with no UA-cam.
@MrsT1992 yeah I’m doing it this year, I’ve already noticed so much more mental clearing and way less anxiety.
@Angel Gutierrez one of the ways. But like I said “If It Resonates”
Wow I agree with this so much! She’s going through A LOT right now it’s not the time for her to be broadcasting her highs and lows but bc it’s her income broadcasting her life… Here we are. I really feel bad for her bc she feels like she can’t just be honest and say she misses animal products she has to back it up with a bunch of bs “science” it’s just embarrassing to watch. 🤦🏾♀️
@@ori5222 Yeah the “sources” she provided truly are BS. Like a plant based diet is completely backed by real science. I’ve went backed to eating meat many times. My situation changed and being plant based just got harder I was pregnant and to lazy to cook so I caved. It is what it is. We aren’t perfect. I just kept it real with myself… I had nothing to prove. But I see it’s different when your on a platform like this.
Every single vegan youtuber I used to watch are no longer vegan. Including me ❤️ I realised I haven't seen a single really long term vegan. That has to mean something....
Wow neither have I…
There really are plenty out there 🌱💚🌱
There's a reason our ancestors were never full time vegans. Like it or not, we evolved to need animal protein to full function. Nothing wrong with being vegan here and there but in the long run it's been proven risky- especially for women's health.

I agree with everything you've said. Thank you so much!!
Oh, I should add that I've been vegan/vegetarian for about 9 years now.
i am so conflicted. because as a vegan i clearly never want to go back to animal products. but ive heard many times before that vegans go back to a „normal“ diet after around a 5 year mark. God i want it to work. i appreciate your honesty!✌🏽
Stop looking up to these influencers. keep doing what you're doing .Alot of people went vegan because of popularity. You can find any research to support what you want.Trust God will lead you in the right direction and give you the necessary tools along the way! Also know you're not. Bad person if you don't !
Listen to your body. You will know. Some stay and some go. It is true of many diets for many reasons for many people. Do whatever is best for you.
I've been vegan for 14 years. Restricting yourself and only eating 'healthy' foods is what makes most go back to eating animal products.
Well at the 5 year mark I found out I was pregnant with my son who is now a healthy 6 year old and never has had any animal products. I had a healthy pregnancy and breastfed my son for 4 years. I've connected with other parents who've had the same experience and been vegan for longer than I have, one is a marathon runner, the other one is a belly dancer and still looks like she is in her mid-twenties.
iam vegan as well but i’m open to letting my body eat what it wants and not restricted diet
Mom of 4 here and intermittent fasting & cardio has help me lose a ton of weight. Also eating meat has wreak havoc on my body. Acne, gerd, boils, heart palpitations, headache, depression, acid reflex ect. I would just say this, do what works for you as a blk women my ancestors didn't always eat meat. I know rastafarians who's been vegan for over 20 years. Ill let my ancestors guide me!
The human body is naturally frugivorous, this earth mama medicine lady is talking absolute nonsense. Vegan power, ital is vital 🌱
@@jimhaughey2017 agriculture is only 10,000 years old. What nonsense you spew! Fruit and veg is rarely accessible and is mainly indigestible fibre and nutrition wrapped in cellulose, its seeds are usually poisonous and contain antinutrients. Seems this lady was eating aweful processed meats.
Your ancestors weren’t hunting for trees and plants to survive, they were hunting for animals and eating organs and meat which are nutritious for the body and contains everything the body needs. Why eat all that fibre and carb to have you bloated. I’m so confused #carnivoregang stop eating toxic plants
@@supermario1006 that’s incorrect unfortunately for you. Humans have & always will be a frugivorous organism. Starches & fruit forms the main basis of our diet, like every other primate species, like our closest living relative - the chimpanzee.
I just walked away from meat for the 99th time in my life.I clean out out my cabinets and freezer and gave my son all. My meat.He needs it.He is 5’9 and 130lbs.I’m 200lbs and 5’4.I’m off meat and fish.I’m going to do beans and rice or beans and veggies.I have consumed enough meat in the pandemic and I am done. I plan not to buy meat in 2022 and supplement my meat budget for alkaline water and organic food.
Keep going!!! I find 75% of being vegan is food prep. Make 3C rice whenever you make any. Instant pot good for beans. [Soak a 1lb a bag over night and put in pot for 20-40mins depending on the bean (Pinto get too soft at 40mins while kidneys get 🤌). More than 1lb beans will make a mess when you release pressure. And I recommend releasing for 20min or longer.]
I gave up veganism after 7 years and started eating dairy, fish, and eggs again. I lost 15 pounds slowly and without much effort. I am now considering adding meat back into my diet too. I look at my friends who are still vegan and they are all malnourished or having an unhealthy relationship with food in their own ways. So many of them rely on many highly processed foods. So did I when I was vegan. I think I’ll always do my best to incorporate lots of plant foods in my diet but I think I need to start eating meat once in a whole.
I had acne when I was vegan the first time because was eating too much soy. I try to live the alkaline lifestyle now though and cook everything with Whole Foods instead of processed foods
great point
No you should eat raw all the time and do daily intermittent fasting. lmao
I myself was vegetarian for about 5 years. It's crazy that my A1C was high and I was prediabetic. I am now back to eating meat and have gained a lot of my lost weight back, but my body feels better.
Sorry to see all this misinformation on your channel. You are far away from having a scientific background. You can have your opinion but don´t try to sell this as the truth. Looking forward to see your videos at Goji Man.
Me and my children been vegan for 6 years and we decided to transition! This is very helpful!
Interesting….my acne and gut healed on a plant based lifestyle and I had the worst issues eating animals and animal byproducts. I guess everyone is different. There are also metaphysical reasons as to why acne and other health issues manifest. I do feel everyone needs to do what’s best for them and follow their intuition. Also toxic penis and sexual partners can imbalance our guts. There are many many factors. Lots of love 💗
Metaphysical reasons !!! That’s the one
I healed my liver cirrhosis on a raw vegan diet in only six months. That was eight years ago. Since then I've became an ultra marathon runner. . .. I've burned tens of thousands of calories over these past five years of ultra marathon running. I feel awesome.. ... I really would like to know what these vegans that go back to eating dead, burnt, corpse (meat) were doing. I find them to be mentally ill. I feel all people that eat burnt flesh are mentally ill. Especially the ones that were once vegan (they are especially schizophrenic). Not trying to be rude, just my honest and scientific opinion.
@@dionnalaneshaa2021 yes and I will say not all vegans know how to eat properly. She may have been one of them. Also looks like she was in a toxic relationship and suffering From deeper self esteem and worth issues. Healers need healing as us all. She’s a very intelligent woman but none of us know everything. It’s important to do what’s best for each of us. But I do know the manifestation of disease also goes beyond what we eat 💖

Because I’ve suffered with acne my whole life, what metaphysical reasons you think manifest to acne? I’m so curious!
Thank you for your honestly ! We love you so much. Do what’s best for you. I remembering having a dream about eating chicken 😂 I think it’s more ancestral though. We shall see. About to rewatch the video for more information! Again thank you for being vulnerable with us and taking accountable and making this video to share information you have found!
This video is an insight I'm excited to dive into more, I'd absolutely love a Q&A about this! I haven't eaten meat in coming on 3 years now and have been noticing the difficulty of me gaining weight and being aware of a pretty consistent mental fog. I'll definitely be watching that film, thank you for this video!
You rock! Keep being transparent and living your best life. People are lucky to have someone like you that loves to share your stories and experiences.
Peace. I never went vegan. At one time in my life was a strict vegetarian. Today I eat a Majority plant based life with occasional fish and chicken. The political and economic system is the real reason for animal, people and land abuse. We need a system of the WE. Veganism food industry is only popular because it can make money. ...let me get off this rant.. Peace and Success to you And Family
🎯
I also want to note, as someone who struggled with an ED for many years....feeling a fear of any food or food group is often a sign of an eating disorder. So if you're plant-based and you want to switch back to animal products but you are SCARED to, this may be a sign that it's not about the food. It might be something deeper. I wish you all peace & healing.
Just...no. Veganism is not a fear of meat
@@Glowritz1 never said it was. I said a fear of meat could be a sign of an eating disorder
@@Glowritz1 they have a point. When I attempted to go vegan I would starve myself and call it “fasting” and was scared to eat food that wasn’t vegan
@@nsoromma9505 that's quite different than what was stated in replies
@@kaseyklein2555 ok? And vegans don't have a fear of meat. It's a choice not to eat it not a disorder...most vegans did not start vegan but rather omni
I really appreciate your perspective! I am currently going through hormonal issues and I have done these crazy things thinking it was right for me. I’m just going to be normal 😉 and take it one day at a time!
Even the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society recommend a plant-based diet. Most people are not vegan and eating animal products is morally acceptable in today’s society, so be comfortable with your choice without passing along nutritional misinformation to support it. You seem to be in a tough place in your life right now and I wish you the very best.
Katherine, neither of those organizations are consumer advocate or patient advocate organizations, they are business organizations like the sugar association, the oil producers association, the association of stock brokers etc. They're not going to say things that prevent them from having patients.
Heart Dizease is caused by inflammation and cholester0l is an extreme healer so abuse your body you'll pay for it. Almost all Americans are already on a 80-90% plant based diet, a burger is mostly plants and then you have fries, onions and a sugary drink. In the UK where Im from , 60% of people who have attacks don't even have high cholester0l.
You need to understand that depopulation is necessary but at the same time you can't stop progress and of course traditions must die out to create a set standard. Pills are the future once they've invented the perfect human. Plants destroy fertility and create a population easier to control restrained by mental and physical health issues.
@@RB-qq4hx two nonprofit organizations pushing the plant-based diet in order to make Americans sick with heart disease and cancer, and fill the pockets of Big Broccoli 😲🥦
@@bmc9504 yesss that’s what the USDA Dietary Guidelines tell us to eat, a plant-based diet of burgers, fries, and sugary drinks 🍔🍟🥤They intend to kill us all off with onions and ketchup in order to take control over the population 🧅😢
@@kathivy Not big broccoli, big grain, corn, soy and sugar, all ten times larger than all the meat industries combined. And fyi they are not "non-profit" charities Katherine. They are BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS. They are a club of business owners working together to PROMOTE THEIR BUSINESS. If people don't have cancer there is no cancer association. If people don't have heart disease there are no heart doctors getting paid. Grow up.
Fully support you sis 👏 So happy you made this video. I was vegan for 8 years and this year, finally fed up of experiencing gut issues, fatigue, anxiety and PMS, I started implementing a more balanced diet consisting of organic produce, pasture raised animals, bone broth, local pasture raised eggs, wild caught fish and ghee. I also have dehydrated beef liver. Best I've ever felt in my life 💚 Can't wait for more educational vids from you about diet and would love to see what you eat in a day!
Where do you get your bone broth from
So happy for you!
@@cookie7241 Make your own! Save all bones in your freezer. Beef, pork, chicken, turkey, whatever. When you have a big batch boil it for days. The smaller bones will soften to the point you can crush them in your hand. Season to taste.
I believe that as we grow, we learn, explore and change from one thing to the next and as long as we are true to ourselves and love ourselves we will find what's right for us.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! I've also been coming back to eating more meat after cutting it out of my diet for 2 years--my body was craving and that seemed like a sign to start incorporating it again. You mentioned you didn't enjoy the at home gut testing company you used. Do you have another recommendation? I'm looking to get mine tested! Thank you
I've been trying to figure out why my acne is so bad around the jawline/cheeks and now I have an answer. Thank you for sharing. Definitely getting a food sensitivity test.
I realized this several years ago. When I woke up spiritually, I was very sick with anemia, gut issues, mental and emotional sickness. At that point I started intermittent fasting, colon cleansing, and cutting a lot of things out of my diet. But over time I introduced more and more foods because I intuitively felt that it’s better to have a diverse biome. As my gut healed I was able to eat more and more foods that were irritants previously.
This is a huge controversy within the spiritual community. But not all enlightened beings were vegetarians/vegans. It’s harmful to equate veganism to compassion and enlightenment. I believe it’s apart of the polarity that we are here to find our own balance within. What is truly good and what is bad?
Of course I do not agree with the industrial agricultural index. However, the carbon footprint caused by importing foods, the people who are paid poor wages for that food, and the things mentioned about the animals who are effected by farming. Those are issues too. To me balance is more important. I’m blessed to live somewhere I can eat locally. But no one is truly faultless if you think about it that way.
this comment is resonating with me heavily, I’m currently extremely anemic and my periods are horrible. I struggle with consistently taking my iron vitamins but I’ve recently become pescatarian so no meat, only dairy and fish. however anytime I’m stressed or feeling nostalgic, I regress back into chicken. also I notice when my energy and blood levels are bad I crave beef but I feel awful within 2-3 days of eating it. still trying to find my way. do you have any advice based on your journey? I also have a 2 year old and I breastfed for 18 mos.
Thank you for sharing this! I used to be vegetarian/vegan for 5 years as well and I was very malnourished. When I went completely vegan, I lost 50 pounds in just 3 months and my eczema was the worst it has ever been in my life. I swore at the time I lost all that weight because fat was unhealthy and that my eczema flare up was all the toxins releasing lol. When I got pregnant with my daughter, my cravings for meat and dairy were skyrocketing and something told me that I needed to listen to this calling because intuitively I felt I needed more nourishment. Thankful for my daughter for helping me transition back to eating eggs, dairy, meat, etc. I currently would consider myself an intuitive eater or even animal based. My family is from Guyana and used to live on a farm where they ate their own cows, chickens, eggs, etc. I'm realizing that this is what I'm working towards returning to. I go out of my way to grocery shop for grassfed beef, cow milks, cheeses, etc. pasture raised eggs, and things like that. I realized my gut was messed up via my eczema as well and that's where I focused my healing. I cut out all the processed crap and included kefir and grassfed yogurts into my diet to help my microbiome improve. It's so important that people hear this message because so many have been falsely informed about how "healthy" veganism really is. Definitely gonna try to get a gut test and watch the videos you linked as well. Again, thank you for your honesty and transparency. This is what true growth looks like✨
thank you for this, loved your take on it. i had been in the fence about going plant based (not vegan) i still want to incorporate more vegetables in my diet but now i don’t feel as “unhealthy” for consuming meat
wholeness lovey! thanks so much for sharing your experience.💖
question: what gut tests do you recommend?
thanks for sharing! for me i was alerted to my hormonal imbalances through learning to chart my cycle. through using my body's cues like temperature and cervical mucus etc which quite clearly shows if you're producing the right hormones throughout the cycle. at this point id been charting for a few months and just started incorporating animal foods. i noticed i didnt ovulate one month and from there was way more motivated to include a wider variety of foods. i also felt weird about buying eggs and meat but now i go to local places for meat and eggs. i only had positive results. i try to eat more now because under eating is easy while vegan and just in general if youre not intention. bone broth is my favorite first thing in the morning and now a complete breakfast always has eggs and local meats. im soooo happy to be eating more protein and fat now. i thought i was doing soemthing positive for my health and so when i realized it wasnt working i was open to switching it up. because i want to have a vibrant body. as i study fertility i hope folks are aware of what nutrients it takes to keep yourself going. grass fed liver also increased my energy soooo much omg.
I've been going through the same thing!! I was vegan for almost two years and realized that it was making my relationship with food somewhat more unhealthy. I still haven't transitioned to eating meats again as I'm a little nervous for how my body will react, but I've been eating butter and cheeses again, and just learning how to have a more balanced diet rather than being known for being a vegan.
Just eat vegetarian then?
It's your mentality. Not the diet. Seek help from professionals with college certified educations. Not random women on the internet, please. Save yourself the confusion and suffering. Veganism is not responsible for your mental health struggles. I empathize with you greatly. Please do not fall for the woowoo logic of the woefully misinformed.
@@ifihadfriends437 lol thank you for the advice. I eat how I feel comfortable eating :)
@@silentfriend369 I never said veganism was responsible for any mental health struggles. Reading is fundamental. I was just sharing my experience. Thank you though.
Y’all be on go in these comments for no reason lol
Ex vegan of 3+ years here! The cystic acne lasted most of the entire 3 years for me on top of all of the other horrible issues I was having from the diet/lifestyle. When I transitioned back to meat, fish, and eggs it cleared up within 3 months. I don’t need foundation or any makeup at all anymore 🥲
Life has phases I’ve been plant based and have moved away from it only to be moving toward it again. I believe you know what’s best for you and I respect that you’ve shared your perspective.
Please can you call your former diet "plant based" so not to confuse it with veganism which is a stance against animal abuse.
No true Scotsman fallacy and abuse tho
Hypocrite
This was a powerful video. As a nurse you are not lying about the importance of breakfast. When I skipped breakfast before my shift started, I sometimes wouldn’t eat for another 6-8 hrs and would be starving and flustered on my unit. Listen to your body ladies!💕💕
Thank you queen. I am very much in the same boat. Ive been vegetarian some vegan for 6+ years now. Really just havent been feeling good at all. So many headaches & migraines, many menstrual problems, losing weight even tho i’m eating more “protein” than ever. Constantly cold, lips pale.. sometimes blue… Crying cause i don’t want to eat animals again but it seems my body needs it. Ive started with incorporating lobster… excited to see how it helps. My energy has been too low fr 😞 i started passing out over the past year, or just getting really dizzy to where i have to sit down & catch my balance. 🤦🏽♀️ mind you i’m only 20 years old. Everytime after i eat the lobster i feel so much better & ive only had it 3 times in the past 2 months.. so i think it’s time to add more🥲 ❤️ thinking about taking a liver pill is making me go crazy!! But these vegan vitamins not cutting it no more ☹️ good to know i wasnt the only one!!!!!!
Why is everybody trying to blame all their health issues on the lack of meat??? Just because this ignorant selfish self centered misinformed woman said it doesn’t mean it’s true!
TEst still for things, like B12, healthy fats like omegas are still in plants too, try the nutrients that are in vegetables, nuts etc.
Get you some omegas, b12, b complex and vitamin D3. I can link the ones I take if you want me to. I research my vitamins and herbs thoroughly before I buy them.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I am a vegan for i think round about 4 years now, i started for health reasons & animal protection.. but i do admit that i now struggle with ZERO iron left in my body, struggling with skin & dermatitis, and feeling just not energized anymore… i am starting to losen my vegan diet & try out to add step by step animal products again
Thank you for this video and sharing your story. About 2 years ago I switched to vegetarian then to a veganism because of watching vegans on UA-cam and because I thought it was the right thing for the environment and the animals themselves . Even though I was eating a decent amount and copying other vegan recipes I felt oddly weak. A little after, my body started to go downhill after about half a year so badly that I was basically bedridden. I couldn’t get up and shower without passing out. I got tested by my doctor and found out that I was severely low in most of my vitamins but that my vitamin b12 was pretty much nonexistent and my doctor basically told me that if I started a new diet that I should stop otherwise my body would never go back to normal. I would have never thought that my body would have responded that way towards a plant based diet but after switching back I feel amazing and I was actually able to get pregnant earlier this year after my body finally started to feel normal again. I respect others for their decision to be vegan but after my experience I can definitely say that it isn’t for everyone and that everyone’s body is different. My husband didn’t have the same reaction as I did to a plant based diet but like I said, everyone’s body has different needs we are not the same ♥️
Also meat-wise I never buy my meat from Walmarts or any stores like that I only get my meat from local meat-markets which helped my gut so much. We also raise our own chickens and ducks that we have harvested in the past. I don’t take animals for granted I appreciate every single bite of animal I eat and know that it is essential for my body. I recommend watching “what I’ve learned” on UA-cam on reasons why we need to eat animal fat and how it is not eating meat that causes environmental distress.
This was my same experience! My vitamin deficiencies almost took me out. I was almost bedridden too. I take b 12, b complex, vitamin D3 and eat chicken and Turkey abs of course eggs and cheese…no milk though and I feel so much better!
@@Theherbalempress I wish we had a local meat market in my area.
Yesssss !! I’m so happy for you ! I was also vegan for almost 5 years. I finally stopped towards the end of 2019 Bc my health was declining so bad. Now that I’m eating animal foods sourced from the best places I can find I am thriving. I was honestly waiting to see when you were gonna make the switch. Idk why. I felt like you were gonna do this !
And yes the first week I started liver supps my energy was through the roof. I’ve since transitioned to eating raw liver and the benefits are freaking amazing !!
I’m confused about people getting over a year of following a diet before realizing their health is declining. You should notice or at least know when a diet is working for you or not within the first 3-6 months. I’m not 100% vegan but I know I noticed a difference within the first month when I went back to my doctor and my vitals looked better and my energy was better. I eat plant based 90% of the time now because not everyone in my household eats vegan so it’s hard trying to make 2 different meals, but I went 100% after I was hospitalized for health issues for 3 months and it improved my health and jump started me to eat mostly plant based for better health.
@@trynvegan what is there to be confused about. ?
@@trynvegan it works for awhile and then it doesn’t. Some people when 10 years. Symptoms are diff for everyone and their lifestyles. And Veganism is very much a cult where people ignore what what they’re body is telling them Bc they don’t want to hurt animals. Great that it’s working for you. Not sure what else to tell you.
@@cacaoandcannabis8641 I’m confused about why some people take longer than a year to realize eating a plant based diet or vegan is not for them due to deteriorating health that should show up sooner in how you feel and blood tests within the first 3 months. I guess it depends on the type of people you follow who eat vegan. If the people you follow are making you feel like you’re in a cult that’s a red flag. Moderation is key, eat more of what’s good for you and a lot less of what’s not good for you.
Woman, you have turned my perspectives about clean eating upside down. Your findings and sharing of them are very much appreciated. I tend to follow my innate inner compass and at times I do feel bad for slipping and eating fish eggs and chicken and turkey, but something inside also helps me cope with the guilt and now I understand why. I’m glad I follow the beat of my own drumming.
Looking forward to the PCOS video. Just like you accepted your acne condition and loved yourself unconditionally and then started to work on your inner body to heal...I'm taking the same route.
