Hi Joelle, and thank you for such an honest and open video. I struggled with eating disorders as a young woman (now 74, and long past it, thank God), always, always, always thought I was fat, even when I was bordering on anorexia. Back when I was a teenager, Twiggy was the ideal for a model! She was 5'7" and weighed about 95 lbs. I identified the psychological reasons for my obsession with appearance, which I will not share here, and dealt with them over many years. It saddens me to know that doctors don't address this more routinely, considering our culture's unhealthy relationship with food and the objectification of women. That you suffered for so long with so little help from the medical world is just wrong. Thank goodness you took the smart route, the slower route, but the one that ultimately helps long term. Food is medicine, and you found that out with your own experience, and now are passing it along to others! *I am not a liver lover either, but I keep having this niggling idea that I need to be eating it more than just ground up in my burger. The BEST thing--you're passing this knowledge and love of self on to your kiddos! Bravo!! 🌻
60-year-old man here. None of this has ever been part of my life, yet still fascinating. So glad for your recovery and grateful for all you are sharing! Stay well and thrive!
I was 95lbs at 19. I was obsessed with dieting.. obsessed with exercise..I couldn't eat anything without running for an hour or more..it was awful..I justified..oh yeah healthy you know..but it crippled me..I couldn't enjoy anything because I was so obsessed with the scale. I became pregnant right before I turned 20 and most likely this saved my life. My husband was so supportive but he knew I was deeply struggling with letting myself gain weight in a healthy way..now 17 years and 3 babies later..that obsession has no hold on me..but I do find some of the obsessive compulsive behavior is still present. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
You’re such a sweetheart. This was not your fault. I went to school with your father, I knew him also when you and Jaimie were kids. He was always making comments about his sister who was a larger woman. He used to call her the 3F’s. Fat, fatal and fifty. Made comments about the weight of others, and said he made you and your sister run up and down the stairs to help your speed and so you wouldn’t get fat like his family. I know what you grew up hearing. I’m so sorry to hear it affected you like this. Hopefully Jaime is ok. You girls are the best. When I stumbled upon this, I had to tell you it’s not your fault. It’s what you grew up hearing. I’m so glad you’re ok.
Wow, thank you for sharing this. I found your channel while looking for budgeting videos (totally unrelated!) and saw this video in your feed. My 13 yo daughter is currently recovering from anorexia. As a dancer she went through a very similar progression - super thin, constantly exercising, amenorrhea, always cold, irritable and depressed, terrified of getting fat. Everyone thought she looked great (a reflection of our cultural obsession with thinness) but I saw it happening over 2 years and finally got her into an amazing treatment program for several months. She is in a much better place now, she reached her goal weight and is having a period again and we’re on a rigid meal plan that similarly involves only whole, unprocessed foods. My heart goes out to you - I’m so sorry it took 10 years for you to find a pathway to health, but so glad you regained your fertility and that your story has a happy ending!
Oh wow! So glad your daughter has been able to recover. I really can’t imagine the pressure young girls face today with social media, it was already hard 20 years ago! Thanks for watching!
Thank you really for sharing this wonderful story. I'm gonna share the video with the girl that I'm dating. Her extreme low weight, though probably contributing in part in giving her a slim look that I found attractive at first, is now worrying me. She eats very little. I know she has issue with menstruation, her head is often dizzy, she falls sick easily. Added to that I realized she had a difficult childhood, some abuse and now she has to work long hours to pay her bills alongside studying. She is very kind. I hope I can help her change, become more healthy and feel better about herself.
Thanks to your video. I went from underweight to robust health as well. I've gotten 6 periods since starting my journey in November of 2023. It's starting to become more regular. Thank you.
@tenzin8580 I got my period pretty fast considering I hadn't had it for years. It took about 3 months. Once I started eating more, the extreme hunger kicked in and basically took over. I was about 95lbs when I started eating more and gained probably 30lbs. It sounds scary but life is much better now. You gotta remember those aren't all body fat pounds, it's the weight of new bones, muscles, organs back in healthy size, hair growth, and yes...some fat. But if you can trust the journey, it will end well. You can definitely do this! Healthy hormones change the brain for the better and the energy levels are great, allowing me to be active in a fun way (yes feelimg fit again), and no longer being cold all the time is amazing. The weight gain sucks at first until your body heals completely. My one word of advice, DON'T confuse the process of recovery as what life will be like forever, it's temporary until you stabilize at a truly happy healthy body.
Thank you for your testimony, it is very encouraging! I'm on the process of recovery from hypothalamic amenorrhea and it is indeed very hard even though I don't have any eating disorder, I have it because of stress and being undernourished during my last pregnancy because I was told by doctors to be on a diet to prevent overweight! I was so naive! Thanks God he protected me and my baby and we survived with lots of complications for me. We are working so hard to have a homesteading life in the near future and your channel is our favorite one to be inspired and learn, tje simplicity and humility that you project are so valuable! God bless you! Mariana😊
Hi Mariana! Oh my! I'm so sorry for what you've been through. Praying that you will be able to make a full recovery here and for your sweet little one to be completely healthy. Thanks for sharing your story too. All the best in your homesteading journey. It's such a fulfilling lifestyle! Thanks so much for watching and all of your encouragement!
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m doing a lot of research as my wife is struggling with FHA caused by LEA. Trying to convince her to stop weighting food, counting calories and exercising too much. Again thanks for sharing.
I think it's really great that you are wanting to encourage and support your wife in this! It is so hard and having that support, especially from your spouse is huge! I worked with Dr. David Bilstrom (drdavidbilstrom.com), that was over a decade ago when he had a functional medical practice in our area. It looks like he is doing quite a bit online now.
OMG you are an angel and a real strong woman. I went through anorexia a few years in my teenage years, with, more or less the same hurdles as you. I wish I could talk to you as I don't want to write too much about myself here. Anorexia is part of life, I struggle with it in my head it doesn't show, have to be careful. It unfortunately damaged my vision. You are awesome for sharing and I'm sure it will help many women, and young girls.
It's such a real issue for so many! Thanks for mentioning your struggle too. I think it's huge when people realize they aren't the only one. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Recently just found y’all’s channel while looking for milking cow videos! And after binge watching a ton I came across this one. I’m also struggling with infertility. After coming off birthcontrol over a year and a half ago I haven’t been able to get my cycle going normally. And after going to doctors and specialists and receiving no answer other than we can force a cycle with this pill, I’ve started on my journey to wholistic health and living. Love your story and you’ve definitely encouraged me today. So thank you🤗
Thanks for watching! That’s awesome how your journey has led you to this lifestyle of more natural living! Honestly our infertility journey ended up being such a blessing (after the fact) but it taught us SO much and we are SO much better off for it. If you have ever have questions, feel free to reach out. Your body knows what it’s doing. Cheering you on!
I came across this segment purely by accident. But I want to thank you for sharing your story❤. Remember you are strong & beautiful. Maybe you can friend me on messenger. I have more to say & ask, but I don't think the person that I'm concerned about would like it 💔💙. Thank you & may the good Lord keep you & your family safe from harm ❤. God Bless
Thank you for sharing your story. After 26 years of a intermittent restrictive eating disorder through an anorexia diagnosis, alongs8de a compulsive exercise disorder I am finally ready to heal once and for all.... but everything you look for in terms of this speaks about "all in recovery" meaning eating things such as processed and ultra processed foods. This didn't align with me, as I don't see how this would be nourishing your body in anyway (and probably why my recovery attempts had never worked before!) There's little out there supporting recovery with a whole food diet, but it makes the most logical sense. Thank you... its the confirmation and motivation needed and its lovely to see you so happy and healthful now ✨️
So, so glad this was helpful for you!! I wish you all the best on your journey and recovery. It is SO worth it. And yes, doing it with real, whole foods - your body will know how to respond.
Sarah-I have been praying for the Lord to guide me as well. He led me to the HAsociety. Ashley is a Biblical counselor as well as recovered from HA. Just as this video was talking about supportive doctors, they have really been the support and knowledge that I needed as I am in the recovery stage. I will pray for your daughter today, too. 🙏🙏
Thank you for this video and the other videos too. They are inspiring and confirms my yearning for a more simple, self sufficient lifestyle. I'm doing it my way with what I have as a person living in a city in the north. - One question though. How old were you when you changed your diet to Whole Foods and how long did it take before your body started to respond in a positive way? I'm 30 now and struggle to find motivation to restore my fertility because I feel I'm too late at it. 12 years of anorexia prior to this.
So glad our videos have been helpful! I was around 24-25 when I started making changes and it took a year (and a good amount of weight gain) to get my cycle back. It took another couple of years for things to really regulate. It's definitely not too late!!
Ugh! 100%. It is SO hard when you are in it. I'm so sorry that is where you find yourself. But, I promise, it is worth it! Your health and livelihood are worth it! Hard is definitely not the same thing as bad and I think there are SO many opportunities for growth through hard things! Cheering you on!!
You and Allie Ostrander should connect. She’s a professional runner who has been through a lot with EDs and is in recovery. It would be cool to see a combo video with you two where she is in recovery and you are on the other side of it. Thanks for your story!
You're welcome - glad it was helpful! I ate a lot of starchy vegetables (sweet potatoes especially), avocado, full fat dairy, meat, some nuts and lots of other fruits and veggies.
Thank you so much for giving me hope . I recently stopped my period after I moved because of emotional stress and I lost my appetite. I relate to your story a lot and I'm so glad I got to hear your story. I'm working on rebuilding my diet. What's your favorite food to eat?
I’m so glad this was helpful for you! I do lots of eggs, meat, veggies (cooked), full fat dairy, fruit…some grains but not a large part of my diet! All the best to you!
This has been so comforting to watch. I’m both a model and a full time university student there’s a huge amount of pressure to maintain a tiny size in the fashion industry, so much so that I developed anorexia and HA. Now two months into recovery, and seeing that someone older has gone through the exact same thing and recovered from that old restrictive mindset is so inspiring. Creators like yourself make recovery so much easier for others. Thank you for sharing 🤍
I did the same thing as you!! But I’m still looking for healing and for a doctor who can help me… do you know where I can find an integrative doctor? My gut tells me this is not right and I love living healthy. Also I want you to know it truly means a lot to know that I am not alone in this journey
I’m so glad you found this helpful and I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I’m sure your intuition is right. You could try the directory at the institute of functional medicine (ifm.org) to see if there’s anyone who might be a good fit in your area! All the best to you. ❤️
Good question! Honestly, I’ve never tracked calories but I can guarantee you it’s well over 2,000. I’d guess more in the 2,500-3,000 range (I’m also pregnant now). Thanks for watching!
Wow. I needed this, wow. You sound so wise and measured. I needed to hear that: "It is possible" to fix this. Thank you so so so much. God bless you for sharing your wisdom so patiently and generously. I wrote down your observations and gentle suggestions. I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can't imagine how you felt. So great that you and your husband focused on nourishing your body and life. I'm in the opposite situation re: weight. We have similar diets (prior to your making a change: low fat, processed, etc) and I don't move my body much (opposite of you). So it's unhealthy diet and lack of movement in my case; overweight, stressed, etc. I'm going to follow your points about doing anti-inflammatory diet, going on walks, healthy exercise and nothing extreme, and being patient. Inshallah it will help. Thank you so much again. Bless you.

Could you please share like how you got it back?? How much weight did you put on and how long into recovery till you got your period back?

Gracias por comparti tu testimonio, es muy valioso y alentador para mí. Podrías decirnos qué alimentos consumías en el tiempo que ganaste peso?
You're welcome - glad it was helpful! I ate a lot of starchy vegetables (sweet potatoes especially), avocado, full fat dairy, meat, some nuts and lots of other fruits and veggies.

Lots of women lose their first baby. I did, and I didn't have health problems. I had 2 more children.
Thanks for watching! I’m sorry for your loss.
Thank you!! 🤗❤️
Thanks for watching!
Approximately how many calories are you eating now? I recently developed amenorrhea from restricting calories.
Good question! Honestly, I’ve never tracked calories but I can guarantee you it’s well over 2,000. I’d guess more in the 2,500-3,000 range (I’m also pregnant now). Thanks for watching!
Wow. I needed this, wow. You sound so wise and measured. I needed to hear that: "It is possible" to fix this. Thank you so so so much. God bless you for sharing your wisdom so patiently and generously. I wrote down your observations and gentle suggestions. I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can't imagine how you felt.

I'm in the opposite situation re: weight. We have similar diets (prior to your making a change: low fat, processed, etc) and I don't move my body much (opposite of you).

Thanks for your kind and thoughtful comment! I’m so glad this is helpful for you and can help in your journey! All the best to you! ❤️
