Lea, thank you so much for this. I am second week into GAPS diet and I feel so much better already. And I can relate to what you say about "surviving". You are great encouragement. Thank you for making yourself vulnerable for us❤ May Yah reward you😘
All through my 30’s I had so many hormonal issues. 3 unsuccessful DNC surgeries. The bleeding would last for months and months. The doctor can only give me birth control. If I ever forgot to take it, then it would mess everything up again. I relied on medication. I asked my OBGYN, is there any type of food I should stop eating or start eating to get better. She said no. As you say, I should forgive. Just be thankful that God has freed me from the slavery being dependent on medication. I praise God that I do not take any more birth controls and i have light menstrual cycles now.
When you finally learn about the food industry and SEE 👀 what's really going on, it really does change you. My entire life changed in 2016. I removed all sugar, removed processed foods, removed seed oils, quit ALL restaurants, and take out coffees. I went extremely meat based. I healed a Laundry list of problems. As I was healing, I lost 145 pounds. My cycle is regular, off all my thyroid medications, no more pain medications, etc. Praise God 🙏
This woman is an ANGEL…..she is very wise for her age and I can get away with saying this because I’m 74 years old. Lea, please keep your channel, I’ve learned so much from you. May the LORD bless you with grace, guidance and wisdom too. Sending hugs and prayers from a creative 🙌❤️
This is perfect timing. Just made the decision yesterday to stop eating what I’ve always known is hurting my body. Beginning to look for things I can eat to heal my hormones.
This is wonderful, Lea! Thank you! Have you ever considered making a "Little House on the Mountain" cookbook with full color photos? Some of your recipes look so good and healthy that I'd love to have a cookbook!
I agree! I’ve always said I would love to have a beautiful cookbook with beautiful pictures and inspirational quotes, made by Lea, to have sitting out on my counter or coffee table.
I watched this video twice and plan on watching it again. This video gave me so much to think about on so many levels! I did not realize that intentional living really cannot be achieved without intentional eating. I almost went through McDonald's drive thru this morning and stopped myself in the parking lot! Wait, there is nothing intentional about any drive thru anywhere! I love these videos and being challenged to keep improving. Thank You Lea!
Oh this made me so happy! You did what most people are unwilling to do.. you examined your actions and made a conscious decision to go a different way. This is how we build an abundant life. Kudos!
This video made my heart sing. I am so thrilled to hear how an animal and high fat diet is helping you. Today is DAY 29 for me going carnivore, and I can honestly say I have never felt better, emotionally mentally, and spiritually. I too, was a vegan, a vegetarian, pescatarian, you name it. Although my body has been very healthy, the brain fog in the past 15 years has been distressing… But it is lifting, and I cannot adequately express my gratitude to all the channels that have helped me see the truth about food. God bless you and keep you. It is just phenomenal to hear about your breakthrough Lea - so happy to hear this.
You speak so eloquently and intentionally , I thank you for that. Learning to trust God’s word and that he will provide all our needs can be a struggle when you listen to the world’s agenda. This is another fantastic topic, thank you!
Soooooo glad to hear you are leaning into animal fats and meat, eggs to heal your body. So many lean away into low fat and vegan and things go from bad to worse and it breaks my heart. Cheers to your wellness and healing!
Thanks, Lea, for your program. I came across you on an Epoch Times article about how God broke into your life, and changed your priorities form modeling to a modest lifestyle. I'm so happy for you! I, too, have had health issues (ulcerative colitis) and have had to eat in a way that promotes healing for over 24 years. I am feeling better than when I was in my teens! Look forward to reviewing more of your videos. May God bless you with ever increasing wisdom and discernment.
Thank you Lea! I have dealt with Diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol for 23 years. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and a racing heart condition in 2019. There are times when I get so overwhelmed by food that I shut down emotionally. I have maintained my numbers all these years but it is so incredibly hard and if you don't have chronic illness you don't understand. Thank you for sharing your life. Be blessed, my friend!
Lea, TY for sharing. Love love your beautiful hair! I appreciate all you share, food and faith. I am a single 60 year old woman and I too am learning how to be a good and wise Steward of health and finances. My oil has never run out! God is good! Blessings!
I really appreciate you saying that if God gives you the wisdom and knowledge of healthy living He will give you the ability to live it out. I have struggled with that and did not believe that so it lead to a lot of striving. I needed to hear that. I’m still struggling with my health, although there has been a lot of progress thanks to the Lord🙌🏻 If you could make a video about what it looks like to be faithful to the Lord when dealing with sickness/chronic illness, it would be so useful to me and likely others as well. The Lord bless you Lea, your channel is a blessing to me❤
So grateful you have shared your nourishing journey. I had been plant based and my health was failing, liver issues, high blood sugar arthritis and depression. After an MRI on my liver (I don't do alcohol) and some concerning blood work I started researching and found that folks that ate a meat based diet were healing of all kinds of issues. I went to 2 meals a day of very low carb food with lots of animal fat. In 3 months I was halfway healed, in a year my bloodwork was normal and interestingly cholesterol went down, blood sugar normal, arthritis gone, and depression gone. Now I do fall off the wagon occasionally and symptoms come back so I always climb back on. By the way I'm not young I'm a Great Grandmother. I am also an animal lover and have chickens and dairy goats.
This feels like such a safe place and I just wish I could hug you sis, because I know how challenging the healing journey can be and I can only imagine how far you’ve come 🫂❤ I’ve been on a 10 year journey with healng my skin, and a 2 year journey helping my body navigate H. pylori, Leaky Gut, and Haley-Haley disease. I’m also indigenous Lakota and was vegetarian for 9 years. Slowly as I began leaning into the teachings and culture of my people, honoring animals and plants as medicine and shifting my perspective to focus on intuitive eating and going for pure foods, I have began to heal in ways that go much deeper than I even intended. I hope that more people find your channel/this video and are able to receive the profound wisdom in it. To me, money is a resource and in this day and age it is worth every penny to protect the well being of our precious vessels and invest in quality living/foods.
I was choked up while you were sharing your journey back to health. I have been in this journey for 3 decades. Chronic illness IS such a struggle. Every time I think “oh, finally, I’ve got this figured out” something changes or shows up again. Like you though I’m a fighter, a figure- outer, and a conquerer, adapter. This IS a personal journey and I soo appreciate that you shared your story. It’s nice to know a fellow believer in Jesus goes through this too. And it has nothing to do with our faith or lack here of, it just is what it is…although helping drawus back to our source of strength (Jesus - who is most gracious) each day. It would be so nice if we could share all this “Immunity Strength” our bodies have with someone who needs more immunity strength and then we all could be “Immunity Leveled Out”. You are such a blessing! I’m glad I re-found your channel. 💐🦋💐
I wish I could give you a big hug! Thank you for sharing your gift of resilient faith, it gives me courage. Reminds me of the verse about even if we outwardly waste away, inwardly we grow stronger day by day. 💖 Keep on shining!
I have known for a few years about the lies we have been fed about foods. The SAD, (standard American diet), is just that SAD ...😢 In 2017 I went keto. Dropped 60 lbs and came off all bp meds. Tried sharing with my family but they choose the convenience of processed food. It takes time and thoughtful processes to eat right/healthy. I too have recently begun to make my dogs food homemade because of skin allergies and food recalls. I have high inflammation markers but still continuing to try to find ways to heal. God is so good because I could still be under the old food system. Lea you should post some of your recipes as well. Praying for continued healing for you. Have a blessed day. ❤
I haven't commented in a while. I wanted to tell you how much I love this video. Real food is so important. We have many food sensitivities in our family. Five of our six children have at least one sensitivity. Thankfully, we have learned what works best for all of us. It is important to let others know how much our food affects our health. It surprises me how many people have no idea. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
I’ve been waiting for you to discuss this more in depth! I’ve been following you for well over a year and I’ve searched your videos for more In depth on how you changed your eating habits! I’ll be 31 and I can tell now that I’m a little older that my body responds a lot differently to the foods I eat. I can’t wait for this to post! ❤
Thank you for sharing Lea. Yes, we have been misled for so long and so many have paid a dear price in their health because of it....I'm so sorry that you have suffered for many years but very thankful you are doing much better now. God is lifting the dark veil on so many lies on many different things we have been told....perhaps some unintentional ...perhaps some intentional. Keep sharing....there are people that care and are thankful for your channel....like me!❤
Absolutely wonderful video. So very much appreciated. I am a Coeliac and have IBS too. I reached out for help again a few years ago after suffering for 30 plus years and I am now on the right track with what I eat. It has taken time to perfect my diet but it is so worth it. To feel well and be able to function and know what you should and shouldn’t eat is everything! I’m a very positive person like yourself and had to be very pro active with my Chronic illness. Lots of research too. Love to you both. Xx
Lea, good for you!!! This topic, your message that you started around minute 12:41, is so needed to be taught. Teach, teach, teach! This message was great. And you are spot on. The Lord is working through you!!! Teach how to be able to cook and live on what you have and how to make it last. Spread into other meals. Save for other meals. Whole foods are so wonderful! I sound crazy. But, I'm just so happy you picked this topic. When I saw your premiere pop up. I almost couldn't wait for today!!!
Thank you for this video Lea. As an ex vegan who is now animal based, I cannot even begin to explain how much this switch has changed my life. My digestion , mental health, menstrual cycle and clarity. We shop local farms as well and drive an hour away to get our “ living milk”. Wishing you continued healing and abundance 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing about your faith and intentional living. Did you say you have a recipe book? I would love to see how you eat from breakfast to lunch to dinner and how to change it up to offer diversity week to week and as you mentioned season to season. I have been pretty much a vegetarian for over 20 years. It worked for weight loss in my younger years but now that I am older struggle with insulin resistance and inflammation. Thankfully no high blood or blood sugars but I need to eat as you do to turn my body around. I like how you are meat based but not necessarily carnivore. You are able to incorporate healthy fruit and vegetables. Love your videos. Hope to learn as much about health as I can from you who are living that healing journey.
I have stage III endometriosis. It's tough some day. I finally found a faith based endometriosis specialist and hope to have excision surgery soon. I'll be praying for you and your recovery
I am so sorry you have had to struggle with endometriosis. I struggled with endometriosis for 4 decades. The last surgery I went through to end the miserable pain almost took my life as I had complications from it. Thankfully the surgery did end the pain, but at a big cost. Just this year I discovered the work of a lady named Sally K. Norton who wrote the book "Toxic Superfoods". The book has been a blessing and given insight into my health issues and a path to healing. You definitely are on the right track to with your animal based diet. Sally's book would be a good companion. You can also look her up on YT and enjoy her many interviews.
Hi Lea! Just came back to watch this near the end of the year. I have struggled with health issues my whole life. And many seasons of life were very busy and consisted of me saying 'I will take better care of myself when I have time...' Well, I am done telling myself that lie. And, I am also newly married, so my own health isn't the only thing I'm responsible for now when planning and making meals. So, I wanted to thank you for sharing this video. Especially since it's a personal topic, and something I'm sure many people can have differentiating opinions on; I really appreciate you stepping out, and sharing this anyway! I will definitely be using your wisdom to help in my own journey toward intentional and holistic health living. God's blessings to you, your husband, and all your animal babies!❤️ -Rebecca
Love your videos! I grew up reading Little House on the Prairie and was always inspired by Laura Ingalls life and courage. Your videos give me the same reconnection feeling to wholesomeness and values around hard work, health and faith. Thank you!❤
Amen! Sister! I'm a first-time viewer. Loved your video. Yes! Faith without works is dead! I've had a few health problems too and God clearly showed me these 2 awesome people who have beautiful testimonies. If you didn't hear of them already one is Lou Corona and the other is Cherie Calbom aka ' The juice lady ', their juice recipes heal you in a few days.❤❤❤
first of all let me say and I love your channel I'm not a person that usually comments but two years ago made the decision to go about 80% carnivore so just pretty much meat based I'm off all my meds I no longer have inflamation in my body couldn't hardly go up and downstairs because of my knees now I just bounced up and down I'm no problem I'm 62 I feel like I reversed age 20 years in two years meet is definitely healing! God is good all the time
Excellent video! My husband and I have started being more intentional in our diet. My husband’s blood sugar was really high. He is type 2 diabetic and I was afraid he would have to go on insulin injections. We started a low carb diet with real food and his blood sugar is now great!! And we lost weight and bonus so much more energy and we feel great! Thank you, Lord for Your provision!! ❤
Thank you for your video today. I have followed 4-5 women on UA-cam for some time. One by one I have unsubscribed for various reasons. You will never, God willing, go anywhere. I love your content. It's varied, it's interesting, it makes my life and the lives of your other subscribers better, healthier and happier. You are a blessing.
I have battled a chronic cough every time I eat and a histamine overload with just things like a store bought oatmeal cookie. I soooo need this right now and I know God led me to your channel a couple of weeks ago. Love from Texas🥰
I struggled with my body reacting to many things…either chronic cough, rash, joints hurting. I went to an allergist and had allergy testing. I am only allergic to dust mites. However, through trial and error and soooo much research, I realized that I react to the glyphosate pesticide that they are now spraying on our grains to dry them out faster. It is an off label use of glyphosate ( round up). I can have organic oats, rice, wheat, corn but react very strongly to nonorganic. The allergist said he is seeing lots of this. I also can’t eat anything with seed oils like canola oil or my mouth swells up. Olive oil is fine. I only write this to try to help anyone who is going through this. It took me a few years to totally figure it out.
I know I don't know you... But from where I'm sitting, probably hundreds of miles away, you are beauty, authenticity and wisdom on a platform that just doesn't offer much of those qualities.... Thank you for continuing to share your stories... I'm sure it takes so much courage to expose so much vulnerability and it helps so many people. Thank you 😊
Very inspired and grateful for this video! Our family has also seen amazing health results from eating an animal based/whole foods based diet. I spotted your Family Cow raw heavy cream bottle. We have been getting our milk, cream, and cheese from The Family Cow for over 8 years now and our family is thriving. I would love for you to share your recipes, especially your pancakes using beef gelatin. Thank you for this video! ❤
Thank you for this video. I appreciate your vulnerability when speaking about it. I am diabetic, my daughter has crohn''s, and now my 21 year old grand-daughter has been hospitalized with severe colitis. Knowing others are struggling with chronic illness makes one feel less alone. I am praying for you, and ask you to pray for us too. Sending love from Nova Scotia
I can relate your feelings as I suffer from gluten intolerance and IBS. It is very painful and hard to handle it especially when you get no help from the doctors just promises that you get better if you are being careful what you eat. But these empty promises makes you upset and feel let down. Thank you for showing that there is a way out. It's nice to get some hope from somewhere. ❤
I found a functional medicine doctor who has been helpful because they look at the whole body but I have still had to self advocate for my healing and ask for wisdom from above. Doctors do what they know which unfortunately many times comes from bias bad information
@LittleHouseOnTheMountain I am glad you have got help. I must search someone in the area where I live. There is an Australian lady called Barbara O'Neill who said that the Bible is the best medical book what's ever been written. I think she is right and you too about seeking advice from above. This is what I do too but I need to be more patient I guess. We all need to go through difficult times to learn something or realise that God wants us to move to the right direction.
Thank you. I cried with you because I suffer from chronic illness myself. Food has changed my life. I've been gluten and sugar free and animal based as well. God will heal our bodies, we just have to help! Would love to see more videos about your health journey. You inspire me!
I’ve been dealing with chronic illness for 20 years as well. I’m 40 this year and have made most of the changes you have as well. I’ve just been struggling figuring out how to effectively purchase what is needed to sustain this diet with the high prices we’ve been experiencing. Thank you for this. It was SO encouraging. God will make a way! ❤
Thankyou so much Lea. This video was wonderful. I get so angry about the vast amount of unhealthy ‘false food’ and the deliberate manipulation of people’s eating habits. The only way we can possibly defeat it is not to eat it, but for many there is little alternative. Your hard work has given you access to an awful lot of people. Please keep telling everyone how your healthy diet has changed your life. I’m sorry that it is such an emotive subject for you, but you are to be admired and respected for putting it out there. People need to know.
Good morning Lea, you are totally on point with this video! Keep sharing because it is such great info and total confirmation to things I’ve been considering in my own life and home for me and my husband! Blessings!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I recently was diagnosed with Graves disease, an autoimmune disease. I have had to changed my diet by going gluten free and really learning what foods are best for my overall health. It's been an emotional time, since I thought I was already doing so many things right when it came to my diet and exercise. The food we eat is so very important. I feel like I am on the right track, but you made me feel less alone with my struggles. I appreciate you and this message that you are sharing.
Hi! I am vegan since 3 or 4 years, but I like listening to all the opinions. I absolutely love your videos, your way to share, how much you are open (open heart, open minded), how you express and explain, your energy in general. I wish you a wonderful day ✨🌻
With there being such a rise in cancer among young people, this is of huge importance. I’m 45, but have two boys, 18 yrs and 9 yrs. And staying as healthy as we can for as long as we can is priority. Although, our hectic lives at this time, make it hard to know where to start, this video is a wonderful guide.
I would love another updated video like this. I’ve been doing an animal based diet for a bit, I eat a lot of the foods you mentioned but learned about a few from you ❤ my endometriosis is almost nonexistent now. IBS getting better but got triggered by some spices recently, which were not animal based anyways but I like to push boundaries 😅 still healing. I feel like this topic is very helpful ❤ and I enjoy being in your kitchen 😊
My health changed amazingly after really praying to the Father for help and got my answer through going carnivore about 4 years ago. I lost a lot of weight and have kept it off, I now naturally fast a lot and only eat when I am hungry. The pill messed me up years ago but my cycle and everything has been like clockwork for well over the 12 years since I have been off it. I am healthier now in my 40s then I ever was in my 30s. My headaches and migraines have drastically reduced. I seem to be very susceptible to stuff that can trigger them and I also have to have the celtic salt and electrolytes every day and this really helps. Its amazing how many people have truly changed their health eating this way. Thanks for the video Lea! ❤❤ P.S. you literally glow Lea. I have followed you for a very long time and you can clearly the changes in your health. You are beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us. My husband and I are also on a journey in seeking the Lord's wisdom on a daily basis (James 1:5). We eat about 90% organic. We are 60 years old and neither of us are on prescription meds! Praise God! We truly are "what we eat" and our health reflects it. My husband has stopped eating sugar and has lost 60 pounds. I am (and have for 2 years now) doing intermittent fasting and have lost 70 pounds. I still eat sugar, but I'm working on cutting it back in 2024.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Would it be possible if you could one day show us how to make beef bone broth? It would be very much appreciated 🙂
Thank you for sharing! One thing I’ve been really poor at is reading labels and just gravitating to what I like. Not overweight or having any health issues, I just want to be a good steward of my body! God has been so gracious to me and I too am SO grateful! Love you little sister in Christ! 🙏🏽♥️✝️
Thanks Lea! I have been an emotional eater and going through a difficult time, so have been stress eating too much junk. This helped me realize again that it's not just about my figure, it's about my health and I have to take good care of myself. Thank you!
Subscribed! I love your heartfelt honesty of the battle I totally agree with you on control over what goes in and saving and using everything not even wasting the bones! You save so much. I too had a change in my eating since surviving sepsis miraculously. In order to rebuild what had been destroyed by sepsis clean eating was necessary. I fully understand just the level of gratitude and affection you have towards God and not wanting to take anything for granted by being intentional. God bless you. I too had God put it on my heart and in my path to get rid of convenient packaged foods from our diets. Clean eating has healed damage done by sepsis my energy is better my cells feel healed. Thank God!
I LOVE THE ENDING AND NEEDED TO HEAR THAT... IF GOD IS SHOWING YOU THE WAY TO HEAL, HE WILL provide it and help you maintain it :) this videos IS so so helpful and much needed for me in this new transition in my life :) THANK YOU !!!!!!
I love this Lea. Thank you so much for not only opening your home but also your heart. I know people can get be nit gritty and poke and prod at those who open so I pray for protection and peace over you. Thank you so much, I love seeing intentional food “hauls”. Gives me ideas on where to improve. Praise the great Almighty Jehovah Rapha! I love to hear of His faithfulness to those who follow Him. So so happy for you on your healing journey! Shalom 🙏🏼💙
Thank you for sharing! I would love to hear more about what you feed your dogs. I try to keep everyone nutritionally fed around here whether they have feathers, fur, or skin 😅. I appreciate your openness to share the intimate parts of your life and home. It's a wonderful form of fellowship in an unexpected place ❤.
Love this one. I was vegan 6 years and vegetarian for 10 and also Experienced a TON of health issues. The high carbs, lack of good fats and fake foods caused liver issues, hormonal issues, kidney issues you name it. The last few years have been Quite the journey and im so grateful as well for God showing me the way out of it. It is like peeling back layer after layer but Its so amazing and glorified to find answers that make me feel better. I pray anyone struggling finds their way. ❤
Praying for you as we speak. I have a chronic illness as well as having ADHD and the aspect of life just being my survival sucks. I will be trying some of these items for myself ❤️
Hi Lea 😊 So glad I've found this channel. Could you possibly share some nutrition resources that you've found to be helpful. I am trying to eat healthy, whole foods but there is so much conflicting info out there. I noticed that your menu in this video doesn't include grains so I was wondering if you could recommend where we might find more info on that. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Also healed my endometriosis and the majority of my other ailments with Gods ancient paths of healing through His perfect creation. Took about 7 years to get rid of my pain and then 7 more to transform other things but I’m so much better now and have been able to cook and provide this type of lifestyle for my husband and 4 children as well. HalleluYah Abba is so good ❤ healing is a life long journey that transforms us not only physically but more importantly spiritually as we learn to rely on the Father for His healing hand, His guidance and wisdom, and the passage of time to restore us more and more to His perfect image. ❤
So well said ...I believe listening to your body , will direct you to the wholesome way you need to live and nourish yourself . In a world where we are driven to listen to others , be it celebrities or fitness gurus ...Maybe we should take more time to listen to ourselves ....Who knows better really 🙂
Love lightly used clothes, boots, most items...garage sales, thrift stores have unique things...simple living...old black Bible's love them...food haul episode great...most of my meals each day begins with eggs, now pasture raised and now A2 milk delicious...thrilled you are feeling healthier....blessings.
yup! the food industry is only interested in profits. Slow food is real food and the more you can buy from a farmer the better!! This was a great topic! Happy January! :)
I think it's interesting how even our bodies and what they need are unique. I followed Nourishing Traditions and a low carb way of eating for years. In the short term (although it was years but I consider it short anyway) it worked but eventually, as I aged I got more sick and needed to figure it out. Now I follow a whole food plant based, no dairy or animal products or oils, high starch way of eating and it's finally doing the trick for me. There are lots of resources but I followed Dr. McDougall to start and it really helped. So if this ever quits working for you give him a read.
Im so glad you're feeling better. I am way too sensitive to plant defense chemicals and grains to go plant based ever again. I also cant eat corn, soy, most nuts or seeds, but im glad its working right now for you.
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain But the fear and pain hormone filled dead animal is ok and healthy? We are humans, omnivores (and is made to eat mainly plants) and can choose to get our B12 etc. from eggs alone if one does not want to take a pill. Please don't romanticize the torture and killing of our fellow earthlings all the other animals dear to God. We were given plant and herbs to eat.
Hi I know I'm a few months late to this video but thank you for this. I've dealt with chronic illness for most of my life about 20 years. I have pcos, fibromyalgia, and more. Yes I've seen so many doctors and been on so many different medications and so much more looking for answers, but i always come back to God made us naturally to heal and not put foreign stuff in our bodies. I don't live alone or cook for myself so it's so hard to get everyone on board to eat like this. No one in my family understands how I feel or my chronic illness or the way I think, so watching your videos helps so much. I just don't know where to start
Chronic illness can be such a lonely place. I totally relate to that! I think the first step is doing simple add ins and swaps. Adding the routine of meat stock or beef organs to the diet or swapping seed oils for things like butter or tallow. Doing one step at a time makes it feels much less overwhelming. Slowly upping the protein or removing a portion of grains. Things like that. It's motivating when you start to feel stronger.
Love this video. I'm always curious how others are eating and how they use it up so there is no waste. You are right groceries are so expensive these days. So many are struggling so much with it. We all do our best with what we have. I would love to buy organic but it's just not in our budget. Instead we grow as much as we can threw the summer in our gardens. I freeze and can as much as I can to help with the winter. We grow everything organic. I love knowing how my food is grown and what was added to the soil to help it grow. Thank you for sharing with us.
Aw yes, the food journey. It's a path you either take willingly as preventative or you're going to have to take it unwillingly to gain or keep what health you do have. Thanks again for sharing this part of your life with us. It seems very personal to you and it seems like you feel very blessed.
Love this video! I was wondering if you eat vegetables? How you feel about them? So many people I know now are eating carnivore code, but I have such a hard time believing God wouldn’t want us to eat vegetables. I have battled with my weight and chronic pain in my back, also had a hysterectomy in April of 23 due to horrific periods and found out I had severe endometriosis that had grown into my bladder and intestines. I am praying for you sister🙏🏻 💜
I currently am not eating many vegetables and definitely not raw. I do some fermented foods and maybe cooked carrots in soup. I stick to mostly the botanical fruits that people think are vegetables.
I cant wait to watch! Ive been really struggling with healing my hormones since having my baby 10 months ago. The timing of the premiere of this video we will be in church, so I'll be watching it later in the day.❤
Thank you for this video, it's very inspiring. I am a homeschool mama of three, and try my best to feed my family nourishing food. Unfortunately though, this time last year my family got the most awful food poisoning from raw milk (particularly my poor husband who was ill for weeks). It was a popular, trusted farm, but we still got ill. So after that my husband said never to buy raw milk again. I do make milk kefir and Greek yogurt to hopefully add in more probiotics to our dairy instead. It's just a shame about thr raw milk!
I know this video is 7 months old, and I’m just viewing it now. But I need to say that I am 100% certain that God led me here so that I can learn from you. I’ve had chronic illness for a long time, currently having so many different things going on. Over the years I have modified my life/food….and I’m learning to be a better cook. I’m beyond weary of not feeling well. I also want to make my cats’ food in the near future as my 13 year old is having trouble with what he used to be able to eat. What an inspiration you are, and I cannot wait to learn more from you! Thank you for your channel and all the work that goes into it. I’m blessed by the wisdom and education here!!😊
I loved this and it was very motivating for me to keep trying to keep a cleaner pantry and cook from scratch. I wish I could've seen the meals you cooked with your haul! Thank you and blessings ;-)
Hi Lea, I discovered your UA-cam channel just a few days ago. I feel so blessed and hopeful after watching several of your videos. I had five surgeries in 2023 and two last month in January 2024. My body is struggling to heal from the surgeries. In 2009 I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. I really feel like my body has struggled to heal and get strong ever since then. After watching your video on herbs, I have decided to take the first step and start growing my own herbs. I ordered a raised bed to plant the herbs in. I really want to be intentional about what we eat. I thank God for you and your wisdom that you share with us and always directing us back to Him. Blessings to you.
I love you so much, and I thank God that I came across your videos many years ago. Thank you so much for making these videos because I know that there are many sisters like myself that battle with the same exact things that you do health wise and we don't know who to talk to or even where to start to heal. And I truly find hope and joy seeing your videos and your transition. It gives me hope that I can achieve the same. Please continue to post these kinds of videos. And please pray about it, but it would be awesome for your channel and us who struggle as well if you could make some detailed recipe videos and also think about making a recipe book if once again you feel lead to do so. God bless you, James, and the puppers always. Thank you for being genuine and transparent with us. You are truly changing lives for the better. ❤🙏🏼
I can truly understand your battles with chronic illness. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at 30 years old, and for about 10 years it was sometimes debilitating. Then after doing lots of praying, research and crying, I decided to change my diet. I eliminated gluten and most sugar, and my life changed. Most of the pain and exhaustion lifted. As the journey continued i changed to organic foods, lots of probiotic foods and raising a large garden and chickens. At 50 i feel a million times better than 20 years ago, but its always a work in progress. You are a blessing and may God continue to bless you!!! And I'm also glad to know that im not the only one who talks to my chickens, they are the sweetest!!
I love how you care about the animals. I feel so guilty eating meat and pray for forgiveness for eating meat before consuming it because I feel so bad that living creatures have to eat each other to survive.
This was a very inspirational video. I have dealt with chronic illness for some time. I went to doctors for years and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I decided at that moment (almost 4 years ago) to take my health in my own hands. I have done so much research. And that has been a journey, and I’m still on it. My husband has been so supportive. Food can be medicine or it can be the problem. I’m from the millennial generation and I have had to change so much that I was raised to do. I’m also so glad that I have a relationship with God. I have a mug that says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13. This verse is a good reminder of where my strength comes from. I am also trying to be an example for my daughter. I pray she won’t have to deal with the same problems I have, but if she does I want to make sure she knows what to do. Again thank you for sharing.
I understand completely I am 64 and have suffered for 40 years with various illnesses, chronic pain, and feelings of complete despair. Two years ago I was diagnosed with MCAS. I suggest you research this if you haven't already. I discovered that I was not crazy nor was I making up this illnesses. I want to shout to the world about this so that others do not go through what I or you have gone through for years. Unfortunately it's an autoimmune condition but knowing has helped so much. I value what you discuss and am trying hard to incorporate more of intentional living in my life. It's never too late. God bless ❤❤
Thank you, Lea, for this video and sharing your experience with health issues with us. I have been battling digestive issues for many, many years and it has controlled my life negatively. I would be so grateful to see more videos on health and food from you.
Thank you! I am currently in the process of letting go of that anger towards the world after educating myself on proper nutrition and that was so important for me to hear. Clearly the Lord does not want me to be as frustrated I am about it😅

Thank you very much for making this video!!! Very helpful 💗 now I even have more ideas to feed our little doxie Pennie 🙂
Praying for you my sweet sister 🙋🏻♀️
Lea, thank you so much for this. I am second week into GAPS diet and I feel so much better already. And I can relate to what you say about "surviving". You are great encouragement. Thank you for making yourself vulnerable for us❤ May Yah reward you😘
All through my 30’s I had so many hormonal issues. 3 unsuccessful DNC surgeries. The bleeding would last for months and months. The doctor can only give me birth control. If I ever forgot to take it, then it would mess everything up again. I relied on medication. I asked my OBGYN, is there any type of food I should stop eating or start eating to get better. She said no. As you say, I should forgive. Just be thankful that God has freed me from the slavery being dependent on medication. I praise God that I do not take any more birth controls and i have light menstrual cycles now.
Loved this video ❤
When you finally learn about the food industry and SEE 👀 what's really going on, it really does change you. My entire life changed in 2016. I removed all sugar, removed processed foods, removed seed oils, quit ALL restaurants, and take out coffees. I went extremely meat based. I healed a Laundry list of problems. As I was healing, I lost 145 pounds. My cycle is regular, off all my thyroid medications, no more pain medications, etc. Praise God 🙏
How's your heart health? Eating nothing but meat is not good for heart health
Praise God indeed!
@@BBBB-nd8plthat’s not true. But it’s hard to go against what you were taught by the powers that be.
That’s amazing!! Are you able to give any advice to me? I just posted above ❤
How were you able to reverse your thyroid issues? I believe that I can reverse mine, thank you for your insight
This woman is an ANGEL…..she is very wise for her age and I can get away with saying this because I’m 74 years old. Lea, please keep your channel, I’ve learned so much from you. May the LORD bless you with grace, guidance and wisdom too. Sending hugs and prayers from a creative 🙌❤️
You are so kind and you are the same age as my beloved daddy, my kindred soul.
@LittleHouseOnTheMountain That's awesome. Sounds like you adore your Daddy!!
Love hearing that....🙏🙏🙏❤️
Amen ❤
Did the lord didn't bless those animals you murdered?
This is perfect timing. Just made the decision yesterday to stop eating what I’ve always known is hurting my body. Beginning to look for things I can eat to heal my hormones.
It would be fun to see a food haul for each of the four seasons.
Yes yes yes!!!
This is wonderful, Lea! Thank you! Have you ever considered making a "Little House on the Mountain" cookbook with full color photos? Some of your recipes look so good and healthy that I'd love to have a cookbook!
Great idea!!!!!
I have been slowly working on it :)
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain do you think eating dead, cooked food is going to heal you?
Oh Lea! I would so love if you put all this info into a book! Including the pet info. ❤
Thank you Barbara ❤ i have actually been working on one for a while now 😊
Oh how wonderful!! Looking forward to it. And thank you! ❤
I agree! I’ve always said I would love to have a beautiful cookbook with beautiful pictures and inspirational quotes, made by Lea, to have sitting out on my counter or coffee table.
Yes ❤Would love one too!!
I too,would love a cook book and a book about good health ❤️
I watched this video twice and plan on watching it again. This video gave me so much to think about on so many levels! I did not realize that intentional living really cannot be achieved without intentional eating. I almost went through McDonald's drive thru this morning and stopped myself in the parking lot! Wait, there is nothing intentional about any drive thru anywhere! I love these videos and being challenged to keep improving. Thank You Lea!
Oh this made me so happy! You did what most people are unwilling to do.. you examined your actions and made a conscious decision to go a different way. This is how we build an abundant life. Kudos!
This video made my heart sing. I am so thrilled to hear how an animal and high fat diet is helping you. Today is DAY 29 for me going carnivore, and I can honestly say I have never felt better, emotionally mentally, and spiritually. I too, was a vegan, a vegetarian, pescatarian, you name it. Although my body has been very healthy, the brain fog in the past 15 years has been distressing… But it is lifting, and I cannot adequately express my gratitude to all the channels that have helped me see the truth about food. God bless you and keep you. It is just phenomenal to hear about your breakthrough Lea - so happy to hear this.
I am so blessed precious sister that you are thriving. It makes my heart so glad.
I just started the carnivore diet! ❤
You speak so eloquently and intentionally , I thank you for that. Learning to trust God’s word and that he will provide all our needs can be a struggle when you listen to the world’s agenda. This is another fantastic topic, thank you!
Soooooo glad to hear you are leaning into animal fats and meat, eggs to heal your body. So many lean away into low fat and vegan and things go from bad to worse and it breaks my heart. Cheers to your wellness and healing!
Thanks, Lea, for your program. I came across you on an Epoch Times article about how God broke into your life, and changed your priorities form modeling to a modest lifestyle. I'm so happy for you! I, too, have had health issues (ulcerative colitis) and have had to eat in a way that promotes healing for over 24 years. I am feeling better than when I was in my teens! Look forward to reviewing more of your videos. May God bless you with ever increasing wisdom and discernment.
That's so wonderful brother! I do pray you walk in abundant healing and wholeness. Thank you for stopping by and watching!
I love this video and really hope that you do one for each season. It's so nice to be able to gather inspiration from others.
Would love a recipe for that pumpkin custard .. sounds soo good :)
Thank you Lea! I have dealt with Diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol for 23 years. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and a racing heart condition in 2019. There are times when I get so overwhelmed by food that I shut down emotionally. I have maintained my numbers all these years but it is so incredibly hard and if you don't have chronic illness you don't understand. Thank you for sharing your life. Be blessed, my friend!
Thank you for sharing this. Im struggling with diabetes.
Lea, TY for sharing. Love love your beautiful hair! I appreciate all you share, food and faith. I am a single 60 year old woman and I too am learning how to be a good and wise Steward of health and finances. My oil has never run out! God is good! Blessings!
I really appreciate you saying that if God gives you the wisdom and knowledge of healthy living He will give you the ability to live it out. I have struggled with that and did not believe that so it lead to a lot of striving. I needed to hear that. I’m still struggling with my health, although there has been a lot of progress thanks to the Lord🙌🏻 If you could make a video about what it looks like to be faithful to the Lord when dealing with sickness/chronic illness, it would be so useful to me and likely others as well. The Lord bless you Lea, your channel is a blessing to me❤
So grateful you have shared your nourishing journey. I had been plant based and my health was failing, liver issues, high blood sugar arthritis and depression. After an MRI on my liver (I don't do alcohol) and some concerning blood work I started researching and found that folks that ate a meat based diet were healing of all kinds of issues. I went to 2 meals a day of very low carb food with lots of animal fat. In 3 months I was halfway healed, in a year my bloodwork was normal and interestingly cholesterol went down, blood sugar normal, arthritis gone, and depression gone. Now I do fall off the wagon occasionally and symptoms come back so I always climb back on. By the way I'm not young I'm a Great Grandmother. I am also an animal lover and have chickens and dairy goats.
This feels like such a safe place and I just wish I could hug you sis, because I know how challenging the healing journey can be and I can only imagine how far you’ve come 🫂❤ I’ve been on a 10 year journey with healng my skin, and a 2 year journey helping my body navigate H. pylori, Leaky Gut, and Haley-Haley disease. I’m also indigenous Lakota and was vegetarian for 9 years. Slowly as I began leaning into the teachings and culture of my people, honoring animals and plants as medicine and shifting my perspective to focus on intuitive eating and going for pure foods, I have began to heal in ways that go much deeper than I even intended.
I hope that more people find your channel/this video and are able to receive the profound wisdom in it.
To me, money is a resource and in this day and age it is worth every penny to protect the well being of our precious vessels and invest in quality living/foods.
I was choked up while you were sharing your journey back to health. I have been in this journey for 3 decades. Chronic illness IS such a struggle. Every time I think “oh, finally, I’ve got this figured out” something changes or shows up again. Like you though I’m a fighter, a figure- outer, and a conquerer, adapter. This IS a personal journey and I soo appreciate that you shared your story. It’s nice to know a fellow believer in Jesus goes through this too. And it has nothing to do with our faith or lack here of, it just is what it is…although helping drawus back to our source of strength (Jesus - who is most gracious) each day. It would be so nice if we could share all this “Immunity Strength” our bodies have with someone who needs more immunity strength and then we all could be “Immunity Leveled Out”. You are such a blessing! I’m glad I re-found your channel. 💐🦋💐
I wish I could give you a big hug! Thank you for sharing your gift of resilient faith, it gives me courage.
Reminds me of the verse about even if we outwardly waste away, inwardly we grow stronger day by day.
💖 Keep on shining!
I have known for a few years about the lies we have been fed about foods. The SAD, (standard American diet), is just that SAD ...😢
In 2017 I went keto. Dropped 60 lbs and came off all bp meds. Tried sharing with my family but they choose the convenience of processed food. It takes time and thoughtful processes to eat right/healthy. I too have recently begun to make my dogs food homemade because of skin allergies and food recalls. I have high inflammation markers but still continuing to try to find ways to heal. God is so good because I could still be under the old food system. Lea you should post some of your recipes as well. Praying for continued healing for you. Have a blessed day. ❤
I haven't commented in a while. I wanted to tell you how much I love this video. Real food is so important. We have many food sensitivities in our family. Five of our six children have at least one sensitivity. Thankfully, we have learned what works best for all of us. It is important to let others know how much our food affects our health. It surprises me how many people have no idea. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
Thank you so much for the comment and for watching!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you so much!!🎉❤
I’ve been waiting for you to discuss this more in depth! I’ve been following you for well over a year and I’ve searched your videos for more In depth on how you changed your eating habits! I’ll be 31 and I can tell now that I’m a little older that my body responds a lot differently to the foods I eat. I can’t wait for this to post! ❤
Thank you for sharing Lea.
Yes, we have been misled for so long and so many have paid a dear price in their health because of it....I'm so sorry that you have suffered for many years but very thankful you are doing much better now.
God is lifting the dark veil on so many lies on many different things we have been told....perhaps some unintentional ...perhaps some intentional.
Keep sharing....there are people that care and are thankful for your channel....like me!❤
Absolutely wonderful video. So very much appreciated. I am a Coeliac and have IBS too. I reached out for help again a few years ago after suffering for 30 plus years and I am now on the right track with what I eat. It has taken time to perfect my diet but it is so worth it. To feel well and be able to function and know what you should and shouldn’t eat is everything! I’m a very positive person like yourself and had to be very pro active with my Chronic illness. Lots of research too. Love to you both. Xx
Lea, good for you!!! This topic, your message that you started around minute 12:41, is so needed to be taught. Teach, teach, teach! This message was great. And you are spot on. The Lord is working through you!!! Teach how to be able to cook and live on what you have and how to make it last. Spread into other meals. Save for other meals. Whole foods are so wonderful! I sound crazy. But, I'm just so happy you picked this topic. When I saw your premiere pop up. I almost couldn't wait for today!!!
Thank you for this video Lea.
As an ex vegan who is now animal based, I cannot even begin to explain how much this switch has changed my life. My digestion , mental health, menstrual cycle and clarity. We shop local farms as well and drive an hour away to get our “ living milk”. Wishing you continued healing and abundance 🙏🏼
Melissa, this brings me joy to hear of your health abundance ❤ 🎉
Thank you for sharing about your faith and intentional living. Did you say you have a recipe book? I would love to see how you eat from breakfast to lunch to dinner and how to change it up to offer diversity week to week and as you mentioned season to season.
I have been pretty much a vegetarian for over 20 years. It worked for weight loss in my younger years but now that I am older struggle with insulin resistance and inflammation. Thankfully no high blood or blood sugars but I need to eat as you do to turn my body around. I like how you are meat based but not necessarily carnivore. You are able to incorporate healthy fruit and vegetables. Love your videos. Hope to learn as much about health as I can from you who are living that healing journey.
What can you say about yogurt? Greek yogurt ... Do you incorporate it into your diet?
I have stage III endometriosis. It's tough some day. I finally found a faith based endometriosis specialist and hope to have excision surgery soon. I'll be praying for you and your recovery
I am so sorry you have had to struggle with endometriosis. I struggled with endometriosis for 4 decades. The last surgery I went through to end the miserable pain almost took my life as I had complications from it. Thankfully the surgery did end the pain, but at a big cost. Just this year I discovered the work of a lady named Sally K. Norton who wrote the book "Toxic Superfoods". The book has been a blessing and given insight into my health issues and a path to healing. You definitely are on the right track to with your animal based diet. Sally's book would be a good companion. You can also look her up on YT and enjoy her many interviews.
Hi Lea!
Just came back to watch this near the end of the year.
I have struggled with health issues my whole life. And many seasons of life were very busy and consisted of me saying 'I will take better care of myself when I have time...' Well, I am done telling myself that lie. And, I am also newly married, so my own health isn't the only thing I'm responsible for now when planning and making meals.
So, I wanted to thank you for sharing this video. Especially since it's a personal topic, and something I'm sure many people can have differentiating opinions on; I really appreciate you stepping out, and sharing this anyway! I will definitely be using your wisdom to help in my own journey toward intentional and holistic health living.
God's blessings to you, your husband, and all your animal babies!❤️
-Rebecca
@@beckyphillipsPNW thank you so much! Now is definitely the time! It will make you a better wife when you thrive 🧡🧡
Love your videos! I grew up reading Little House on the Prairie and was always inspired by Laura Ingalls life and courage. Your videos give me the same reconnection feeling to wholesomeness and values around hard work, health and faith. Thank you!❤
Amen! Sister! I'm a first-time viewer. Loved your video. Yes! Faith without works is dead! I've had a few health problems too and God clearly showed me these 2 awesome people who have beautiful testimonies. If you didn't hear of them already one is Lou Corona and the other is Cherie Calbom aka ' The juice lady ', their juice recipes heal you in a few days.❤❤❤
first of all let me say and I love your channel I'm not a person that usually comments but two years ago made the decision to go about 80% carnivore so just pretty much meat based I'm off all my meds I no longer have inflamation in my body couldn't hardly go up and downstairs because of my knees now I just bounced up and down I'm no problem I'm 62 I feel like I reversed age 20 years in two years meet is definitely healing!
God is good all the time
So happy to hear this!
Excellent video! My husband and I have started being more intentional in our diet. My husband’s blood sugar was really high. He is type 2 diabetic and I was afraid he would have to go on insulin injections. We started a low carb diet with real food and his blood sugar is now great!! And we lost weight and bonus so much more energy and we feel great! Thank you, Lord for Your provision!! ❤
Thank you for your video today. I have followed 4-5 women on UA-cam for some time. One by one I have unsubscribed for various reasons. You will never, God willing, go anywhere. I love your content. It's varied, it's interesting, it makes my life and the lives of your other subscribers better, healthier and happier. You are a blessing.
I'm truly honored Connie. Thank you for stopping over again :)
I have battled a chronic cough every time I eat and a histamine overload with just things like a store bought oatmeal cookie. I soooo need this right now and I know God led me to your channel a couple of weeks ago. Love from Texas🥰
I can't eat oats at all. Last time I ate any oats I had a 2 day migraine. It was so awful that I will never touch it again
I struggled with my body reacting to many things…either chronic cough, rash, joints hurting. I went to an allergist and had allergy testing. I am only allergic to dust mites. However, through trial and error and soooo much research, I realized that I react to the glyphosate pesticide that they are now spraying on our grains to dry them out faster. It is an off label use of glyphosate ( round up). I can have organic oats, rice, wheat, corn but react very strongly to nonorganic. The allergist said he is seeing lots of this. I also can’t eat anything with seed oils like canola oil or my mouth swells up. Olive oil is fine. I only write this to try to help anyone who is going through this. It took me a few years to totally figure it out.
Three autoimmune disorders here, and this is confirmation that I need to clean up my diet. Thank you for your transparency and willingness to share
The body was definitely designed to heal! That gives us the hope :)
I know I don't know you... But from where I'm sitting, probably hundreds of miles away, you are beauty, authenticity and wisdom on a platform that just doesn't offer much of those qualities.... Thank you for continuing to share your stories... I'm sure it takes so much courage to expose so much vulnerability and it helps so many people. Thank you 😊
That's so very kind to take the time to say. Thank you 😊
Very inspired and grateful for this video! Our family has also seen amazing health results from eating an animal based/whole foods based diet. I spotted your Family Cow raw heavy cream bottle. We have been getting our milk, cream, and cheese from The Family Cow for over 8 years now and our family is thriving. I would love for you to share your recipes, especially your pancakes using beef gelatin. Thank you for this video! ❤
Oh how wonderful! Im so glad you are able to access such healing food ❤
Thank you for this video. I appreciate your vulnerability when speaking about it. I am diabetic, my daughter has crohn''s, and now my 21 year old grand-daughter has been hospitalized with severe colitis. Knowing others are struggling with chronic illness makes one feel less alone. I am praying for you, and ask you to pray for us too. Sending love from Nova Scotia
The body was definitely designed to heal! That gives us the hope :)
I can relate your feelings as I suffer from gluten intolerance and IBS. It is very painful and hard to handle it especially when you get no help from the doctors just promises that you get better if you are being careful what you eat. But these empty promises makes you upset and feel let down. Thank you for showing that there is a way out. It's nice to get some hope from somewhere. ❤
I found a functional medicine doctor who has been helpful because they look at the whole body but I have still had to self advocate for my healing and ask for wisdom from above. Doctors do what they know which unfortunately many times comes from bias bad information
@LittleHouseOnTheMountain I am glad you have got help. I must search someone in the area where I live. There is an Australian lady called Barbara O'Neill who said that the Bible is the best medical book what's ever been written. I think she is right and you too about seeking advice from above. This is what I do too but I need to be more patient I guess. We all need to go through difficult times to learn something or realise that God wants us to move to the right direction.
Thank you. I cried with you because I suffer from chronic illness myself. Food has changed my life. I've been gluten and sugar free and animal based as well. God will heal our bodies, we just have to help! Would love to see more videos about your health journey. You inspire me!
How wonderful to hear of your healing friend.
I loved the happy dance doggy did when his dinner was coming!! So cute.
Your skin and hair are amazing by the way.
I’ve been dealing with chronic illness for 20 years as well. I’m 40 this year and have made most of the changes you have as well. I’ve just been struggling figuring out how to effectively purchase what is needed to sustain this diet with the high prices we’ve been experiencing. Thank you for this. It was SO encouraging. God will make a way! ❤
Thankyou so much Lea. This video was wonderful. I get so angry about the vast amount of unhealthy ‘false food’ and the deliberate manipulation of people’s eating habits. The only way we can possibly defeat it is not to eat it, but for many there is little alternative. Your hard work has given you access to an awful lot of people. Please keep telling everyone how your healthy diet has changed your life. I’m sorry that it is such an emotive subject for you, but you are to be admired and respected for putting it out there. People need to know.
Good morning Lea, you are totally on point with this video! Keep sharing because it is such great info and total confirmation to things I’ve been considering in my own life and home for me and my husband! Blessings!
Im so glad Rebecca 😊
Thank you so much for doing this video. I recently was diagnosed with Graves disease, an autoimmune disease. I have had to changed my diet by going gluten free and really learning what foods are best for my overall health. It's been an emotional time, since I thought I was already doing so many things right when it came to my diet and exercise. The food we eat is so very important. I feel like I am on the right track, but you made me feel less alone with my struggles. I appreciate you and this message that you are sharing.
Hi! I am vegan since 3 or 4 years, but I like listening to all the opinions. I absolutely love your videos, your way to share, how much you are open (open heart, open minded), how you express and explain, your energy in general. I wish you a wonderful day ✨🌻
With there being such a rise in cancer among young people, this is of huge importance. I’m 45, but have two boys, 18 yrs and 9 yrs. And staying as healthy as we can for as long as we can is priority. Although, our hectic lives at this time, make it hard to know where to start, this video is a wonderful guide.
I would love another updated video like this. I’ve been doing an animal based diet for a bit, I eat a lot of the foods you mentioned but learned about a few from you ❤ my endometriosis is almost nonexistent now. IBS getting better but got triggered by some spices recently, which were not animal based anyways but I like to push boundaries 😅 still healing. I feel like this topic is very helpful ❤ and I enjoy being in your kitchen 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this part of your healing journey. I would love to hear what your haul looks like in spring, summer, and fall.
My health changed amazingly after really praying to the Father for help and got my answer through going carnivore about 4 years ago. I lost a lot of weight and have kept it off, I now naturally fast a lot and only eat when I am hungry. The pill messed me up years ago but my cycle and everything has been like clockwork for well over the 12 years since I have been off it. I am healthier now in my 40s then I ever was in my 30s. My headaches and migraines have drastically reduced. I seem to be very susceptible to stuff that can trigger them and I also have to have the celtic salt and electrolytes every day and this really helps. Its amazing how many people have truly changed their health eating this way. Thanks for the video Lea! ❤❤ P.S. you literally glow Lea. I have followed you for a very long time and you can clearly the changes in your health. You are beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!
I love your depth and authenticity and reverence to our Father in heaven.
I cannot wait! Thank you for this sister ❤ You are a delight
Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us. My husband and I are also on a journey in seeking the Lord's wisdom on a daily basis (James 1:5). We eat about 90% organic. We are 60 years old and neither of us are on prescription meds! Praise God! We truly are "what we eat" and our health reflects it. My husband has stopped eating sugar and has lost 60 pounds. I am (and have for 2 years now) doing intermittent fasting and have lost 70 pounds. I still eat sugar, but I'm working on cutting it back in 2024.
Wonderful! Great job sticking it out :)
I absolutely love your videos! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Would it be possible if you could one day show us how to make beef bone broth?
It would be very much appreciated 🙂
Thank you for sharing! One thing I’ve been really poor at is reading labels and just gravitating to what I like. Not overweight or having any health issues, I just want to be a good steward of my body! God has been so gracious to me and I too am SO grateful! Love you little sister in Christ! 🙏🏽♥️✝️
Thanks Lea! I have been an emotional eater and going through a difficult time, so have been stress eating too much junk. This helped me realize again that it's not just about my figure, it's about my health and I have to take good care of myself. Thank you!
Love this! Please do more, if you’re comfortable. 😘
Can’t wait for this one. One of my goals is to start eating more intentionally. This will give me a great starting point.
Olá por favor perdoe a ignorância mas o que quer dizer comer de forma intencional que significa 🙂
Subscribed! I love your heartfelt honesty of the battle I totally agree with you on control over what goes in and saving and using everything not even wasting the bones! You save so much. I too had a change in my eating since surviving sepsis miraculously. In order to rebuild what had been destroyed by sepsis clean eating was necessary. I fully understand just the level of gratitude and affection you have towards God and not wanting to take anything for granted by being intentional. God bless you. I too had God put it on my heart and in my path to get rid of convenient packaged foods from our diets. Clean eating has healed damage done by sepsis my energy is better my cells feel healed. Thank God!
I'm so happy to have you and so very glad you are also healing 💕
I LOVE THE ENDING AND NEEDED TO HEAR THAT... IF GOD IS SHOWING YOU THE WAY TO HEAL, HE WILL provide it and help you maintain it :) this videos IS so so helpful and much needed for me in this new transition in my life :) THANK YOU !!!!!!
There IS hope. And God is more than able to provide you with all the wisdom and all the resources needed ❤ sending hugs
I love this Lea. Thank you so much for not only opening your home but also your heart. I know people can get be nit gritty and poke and prod at those who open so I pray for protection and peace over you. Thank you so much, I love seeing intentional food “hauls”. Gives me ideas on where to improve. Praise the great Almighty Jehovah Rapha! I love to hear of His faithfulness to those who follow Him. So so happy for you on your healing journey! Shalom 🙏🏼💙
My Aunt gives her Chickens warm water in the winter months. She gets eggs all winter long.
I give my girls warm herbal tea
Thank you for sharing! I would love to hear more about what you feed your dogs. I try to keep everyone nutritionally fed around here whether they have feathers, fur, or skin 😅. I appreciate your openness to share the intimate parts of your life and home. It's a wonderful form of fellowship in an unexpected place ❤.
Love this one. I was vegan 6 years and vegetarian for 10 and also Experienced a TON of health issues. The high carbs, lack of good fats and fake foods caused liver issues, hormonal issues, kidney issues you name it. The last few years have been Quite the journey and im so grateful as well for God showing me the way out of it. It is like peeling back layer after layer but Its so amazing and glorified to find answers that make me feel better. I pray anyone struggling finds their way. ❤
I'm so blessed to hear that you are healing.
Praying for you as we speak. I have a chronic illness as well as having ADHD and the aspect of life just being my survival sucks.
I will be trying some of these items for myself ❤️
I am honored. Thank you so much.
Hi Lea 😊 So glad I've found this channel. Could you possibly share some nutrition resources that you've found to be helpful. I am trying to eat healthy, whole foods but there is so much conflicting info out there. I noticed that your menu in this video doesn't include grains so I was wondering if you could recommend where we might find more info on that. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Also healed my endometriosis and the majority of my other ailments with Gods ancient paths of healing through His perfect creation. Took about 7 years to get rid of my pain and then 7 more to transform other things but I’m so much better now and have been able to cook and provide this type of lifestyle for my husband and 4 children as well. HalleluYah Abba is so good ❤ healing is a life long journey that transforms us not only physically but more importantly spiritually as we learn to rely on the Father for His healing hand, His guidance and wisdom, and the passage of time to restore us more and more to His perfect image. ❤
Amen I'm so glad to hear this.
So well said ...I believe listening to your body , will direct you to the wholesome way you need to live and nourish yourself . In a world where we are driven to listen to others , be it celebrities or fitness gurus ...Maybe we should take more time to listen to ourselves ....Who knows better really 🙂
Love lightly used clothes, boots, most items...garage sales, thrift stores have unique things...simple living...old black Bible's love them...food haul episode great...most of my meals each day begins with eggs, now pasture raised and now A2 milk delicious...thrilled you are feeling healthier....blessings.
yup! the food industry is only interested in profits. Slow food is real food and the more you can buy from a farmer the better!! This was a great topic! Happy January! :)
I think it's interesting how even our bodies and what they need are unique. I followed Nourishing Traditions and a low carb way of eating for years. In the short term (although it was years but I consider it short anyway) it worked but eventually, as I aged I got more sick and needed to figure it out. Now I follow a whole food plant based, no dairy or animal products or oils, high starch way of eating and it's finally doing the trick for me. There are lots of resources but I followed Dr. McDougall to start and it really helped. So if this ever quits working for you give him a read.
Im so glad you're feeling better. I am way too sensitive to plant defense chemicals and grains to go plant based ever again. I also cant eat corn, soy, most nuts or seeds, but im glad its working right now for you.
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain But the fear and pain hormone filled dead animal is ok and healthy? We are humans, omnivores (and is made to eat mainly plants) and can choose to get our B12 etc. from eggs alone if one does not want to take a pill. Please don't romanticize the torture and killing of our fellow earthlings all the other animals dear to God. We were given plant and herbs to eat.
Hi I know I'm a few months late to this video but thank you for this. I've dealt with chronic illness for most of my life about 20 years. I have pcos, fibromyalgia, and more. Yes I've seen so many doctors and been on so many different medications and so much more looking for answers, but i always come back to God made us naturally to heal and not put foreign stuff in our bodies. I don't live alone or cook for myself so it's so hard to get everyone on board to eat like this. No one in my family understands how I feel or my chronic illness or the way I think, so watching your videos helps so much. I just don't know where to start
Chronic illness can be such a lonely place. I totally relate to that! I think the first step is doing simple add ins and swaps. Adding the routine of meat stock or beef organs to the diet or swapping seed oils for things like butter or tallow. Doing one step at a time makes it feels much less overwhelming. Slowly upping the protein or removing a portion of grains. Things like that. It's motivating when you start to feel stronger.
Love this video. I'm always curious how others are eating and how they use it up so there is no waste. You are right groceries are so expensive these days. So many are struggling so much with it. We all do our best with what we have. I would love to buy organic but it's just not in our budget. Instead we grow as much as we can threw the summer in our gardens. I freeze and can as much as I can to help with the winter. We grow everything organic. I love knowing how my food is grown and what was added to the soil to help it grow. Thank you for sharing with us.
What a beautiful spirit you have! Thank you for your time and wisdom. 💛
Aw yes, the food journey. It's a path you either take willingly as preventative or you're going to have to take it unwillingly to gain or keep what health you do have. Thanks again for sharing this part of your life with us. It seems very personal to you and it seems like you feel very blessed.
Love this video! I was wondering if you eat vegetables? How you feel about them? So many people I know now are eating carnivore code, but I have such a hard time believing God wouldn’t want us to eat vegetables. I have battled with my weight and chronic pain in my back, also had a hysterectomy in April of 23 due to horrific periods and found out I had severe endometriosis that had grown into my bladder and intestines. I am praying for you sister🙏🏻 💜
I currently am not eating many vegetables and definitely not raw. I do some fermented foods and maybe cooked carrots in soup. I stick to mostly the botanical fruits that people think are vegetables.
I cant wait to watch! Ive been really struggling with healing my hormones since having my baby 10 months ago. The timing of the premiere of this video we will be in church, so I'll be watching it later in the day.❤
Thank you for this video, it's very inspiring. I am a homeschool mama of three, and try my best to feed my family nourishing food. Unfortunately though, this time last year my family got the most awful food poisoning from raw milk (particularly my poor husband who was ill for weeks). It was a popular, trusted farm, but we still got ill. So after that my husband said never to buy raw milk again. I do make milk kefir and Greek yogurt to hopefully add in more probiotics to our dairy instead. It's just a shame about thr raw milk!
Good one Sweet Lady! How you encourage us by sharing His wisdom. Thank you.🌹
I know this video is 7 months old, and I’m just viewing it now. But I need to say that I am 100% certain that God led me here so that I can learn from you. I’ve had chronic illness for a long time, currently having so many different things going on. Over the years I have modified my life/food….and I’m learning to be a better cook. I’m beyond weary of not feeling well. I also want to make my cats’ food in the near future as my 13 year old is having trouble with what he used to be able to eat. What an inspiration you are, and I cannot wait to learn more from you! Thank you for your channel and all the work that goes into it. I’m blessed by the wisdom and education here!!😊
I loved this and it was very motivating for me to keep trying to keep a cleaner pantry and cook from scratch. I wish I could've seen the meals you cooked with your haul! Thank you and blessings ;-)
The circle of life 🤍
Would love to hear more about your histamine intolerance experience. Can you consume sourdough?
Hi Lea, I discovered your UA-cam channel just a few days ago. I feel so blessed and hopeful after watching several of your videos. I had five surgeries in 2023 and two last month in January 2024. My body is struggling to heal from the surgeries. In 2009 I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. I really feel like my body has struggled to heal and get strong ever since then. After watching your video on herbs, I have decided to take the first step and start growing my own herbs. I ordered a raised bed to plant the herbs in. I really want to be intentional about what we eat. I thank God for you and your wisdom that you share with us and always directing us back to Him. Blessings to you.
I love you so much, and I thank God that I came across your videos many years ago. Thank you so much for making these videos because I know that there are many sisters like myself that battle with the same exact things that you do health wise and we don't know who to talk to or even where to start to heal. And I truly find hope and joy seeing your videos and your transition. It gives me hope that I can achieve the same. Please continue to post these kinds of videos. And please pray about it, but it would be awesome for your channel and us who struggle as well if you could make some detailed recipe videos and also think about making a recipe book if once again you feel lead to do so. God bless you, James, and the puppers always. Thank you for being genuine and transparent with us. You are truly changing lives for the better. ❤🙏🏼
I love you too! Thank you.
🙏Thank you❤👏
I can truly understand your battles with chronic illness. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at 30 years old, and for about 10 years it was sometimes debilitating. Then after doing lots of praying, research and crying, I decided to change my diet. I eliminated gluten and most sugar, and my life changed. Most of the pain and exhaustion lifted. As the journey continued i changed to organic foods, lots of probiotic foods and raising a large garden and chickens. At 50 i feel a million times better than 20 years ago, but its always a work in progress. You are a blessing and may God continue to bless you!!! And I'm also glad to know that im not the only one who talks to my chickens, they are the sweetest!!
Haha love the excited spinning when the dogs get their food. So cute!
Hes been doing that since we brought him home from the shelter ❤😊 its so cute
I love how you care about the animals. I feel so guilty eating meat and pray for forgiveness for eating meat before consuming it because I feel so bad that living creatures have to eat each other to survive.
You are a human being and can choose not to kill your fellow being.....
Good job, so positive, Thank you.

This was a very inspirational video. I have dealt with chronic illness for some time. I went to doctors for years and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I decided at that moment (almost 4 years ago) to take my health in my own hands. I have done so much research. And that has been a journey, and I’m still on it. My husband has been so supportive. Food can be medicine or it can be the problem. I’m from the millennial generation and I have had to change so much that I was raised to do. I’m also so glad that I have a relationship with God. I have a mug that says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13. This verse is a good reminder of where my strength comes from. I am also trying to be an example for my daughter. I pray she won’t have to deal with the same problems I have, but if she does I want to make sure she knows what to do. Again thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing!!!
I understand completely I am 64 and have suffered for 40 years with various illnesses, chronic pain, and feelings of complete despair. Two years ago I was diagnosed with MCAS. I suggest you research this if you haven't already. I discovered that I was not crazy nor was I making up this illnesses. I want to shout to the world about this so that others do not go through what I or you have gone through for years. Unfortunately it's an autoimmune condition but knowing has helped so much. I value what you discuss and am trying hard to incorporate more of intentional living in my life. It's never too late. God bless ❤❤
Thank you, Lea, for this video and sharing your experience with health issues with us. I have been battling digestive issues for many, many years and it has controlled my life negatively. I would be so grateful to see more videos on health and food from you.
The body was definitely designed to heal! That gives us the hope :)
Thank you! I am currently in the process of letting go of that anger towards the world after educating myself on proper nutrition and that was so important for me to hear. Clearly the Lord does not want me to be as frustrated I am about it😅
right there with ya 🤪
The body was definitely designed to heal! That gives us the hope :)
Look forward to it🙂
