Thank you for the compliments my dear son... be careful what you say or I might move out there and become a cougar. You surely are correct in saying that becoming plant based has changed my life for the better, yes going on 72 and I have never felt so good. Amazing the changes to my body inside and out. You are never too old to get healthy. Thank you.. you are my inspiration. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing by helping us all shine our best light and live our best life. Xoxo
Joan Simnett you raised an awesome son so I bet you're a pretty cool lady. Cheers!
Yay Mama Simnett!!!
I loved having Crystal in a video, and now I think we may also need a vegan mama Simnett video too! I’m so happy that you’re out there inspiring people to transition to veganism regardless of their age 💖
My mom went vegan too under my influence two years ago! It is so nice to have a closed one who support and understand you wholly! ❤️❤️❤️
I was watching this on the stairmaster and the guy next to me started asking about it! Cool chance to share you with strangers (:
Meagan Hayes actually he just wanted to start a conversation ;)
Meagan Hayes he’s probably flirting with you
Yeah most likely but he got an earful of veganism so win win for everyone
Some guys think they are reeeeeal slick, then they end up hearing about veganism and get no number 😂
Simeon Farkas 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You scared the shit out of me on the cougar scare
hahaha i kept thinking hes going to see a cougar one day and then he goes an scares the crap out of me making me feel like I jinxed derrick your a funny guy bro .
Derek everybody knows the highest density cougar population is found at Trader Joe's on a Thursday at 2 p.m. - puhleeze
Red Pill Vegan Hi what's the other meaning? None native English speaker here
an older lady who seeks out younger men for.... "activities"
hahahahaha
coomper22 haha ok thanks!
Penny Wise possibly to talk about the love for Christ also. Can I get an A-MENN
Remember when these videos were going to be short? That lasted 1.5 weeks 😆 - seriously though, we don't mind
Agreed, keep them long!
They don't even seen long to me...they fly by.
For Fe N:
I am currently in this situation! I was vegan, stupidly went to vegetarian, and am now going back. My fiance is not vegan and had told me he never plans to be. HOWEVER; I went vegan about 3 years into our relationship, so I'm not going to end it just because he won't adopt my diet. After about. 2 years without meat, I STILL get made fun of like crazy by friends, family, and even coworkers. I just try to brush it off because I was there. In high school, I tried going vegetarian and failed (for various reasons) - I told everyone that I loved meat too much. As Derek said, just be the light. Answer any questions people may have, even If they're trying to make fun of you for it. It's not worth the fights and debates personally. Just keep your head up and know that this community is here for you! 😍
I know people who say they „have the connection“ but still continue to eat animal products. That’s when I get frustrated. But.. „Be the lighthouse“ is such a strong saying, beautiful. Being a good example and be fit, people will notice and get curious. And whenever people ask, they want to know more about your diet. But for me personally, it’s still really hard seeing people eat animal products. I don’t think that feeling will ever go away. For me it helped to join a veganfamilies group, they meet once a month. Xoxo
It may be your second try but one of your better ones. You are one of the few guys that I like better as you evolve. Most start to get too full of themselves, but not you. So far.......😉
That's really true, dude seems to be so damn grateful.
Nature tends to help with that.
Love the way you not only take care about yourself, but also about de environment... I'm an Ecotourism student and It has taught me the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting it
Derek, the Lighthouse... love it man. Be the beacon of light to guide people but don't try to force them to see. Excellent way of looking at things and it's how I choose to go about my everyday life as well. As always, another great Q&A.
You absolutely need to make a shirt that says, "Bink, bink bink, bonk, bonk."
Would insta buy!
He has now!
Went vegan/WFPB 4 years ago when I turned 50! Love my lifestyle! Marathon trail runner and weight train. Your videos are wonderful! Was on my TM 4am this morning wishing I was running those amazing trails!
What say.... it is not just the information i can get from you... it's all concerned about you: joy for scouting, appreciating Nature and being happy to live. Those AWESOME issues inspired me. Thanks .... A Million. Carry on and Go for it!
Love the video Derek. Nothing like going out in nature.I'm going on a 12 mile run today in nature.I was diagnosed with Intermittent explosive disorder. Training helps me control my anger!!! You're so positive and refreshing.Love your channel.
Thankyou for address plastic waste! It’s such a serious issue in our world. I love that you keep that plastic bottle to reuse. Will you consider doing a video on how you reduce your plastic consumption?!?
I've started making my own zero waste deoderant a few months back from coconut oil, starch and sodium bicarbonate and it's so amazing! I've always head problems with sweating a lot but this creme is really helping. It's super easy to make and you can prepare a big batch that will last you for ages. Y'all should definitely give it a try. I only have German recipes for it but I'm sure there are enough English ones out there as well.
Cheers!
This dude has such a fun personality and the “inspirational” music over his motivational speeches are so funny. Much success to bro and his girl is gorgeous
Old video so not sure if you'll see this Derek but just from seeing the ingredients in the video, your deodorant has potassium alum in it. That is aluminium basically. Also the crystal rocks are made from potassium alum or other alums which are also aluminium. I've really struggled finding a vegan natural deodorant that isn't full of chemicals but actually works. Powder deo made from just baking soda and arrow root powder, lemons or tea tree oil have been the ones that work best for me. Hope you are well and keep up the amazing inspiring videos. X
Horsetail was used by the colonists in America to clean and polish pots and pans because of the high silica content. It’s also good for bones. Love your work.
Great job and such a great attitude as always Derek - it's the food and moving that body of course! Just to add onto a couple of the questions: 1. If you're happy with two meals and like D said - meeting all of your caloric needs then great. This is actually very beneficial to the body especially if one of the meals is predominantly fruit and you have no digestive issues. Fruit digests quickly (10 min-30 min max depending on fruit for most). This frees up energy for performance but even more importantly for detoxification - this is why less meals is always better. Question 2: Your body needs to sweat it's one off the ways it gets rid of toxins. And the lymphatic system is essentially your toilet: it drains through your sweat glands, lungs and kidneys - making sure all of those channels are freed up is essential (run like a BC mountain lion from antiperspirants) !
This has been by far the best Ask me Mondays ever!
I love the long videos like this! It's nice to take some time to relax and learn how stay happy and healthy.
Hey, Derek. Great "Ask me Monday"! Every time when your video is more than 10 minutes, I get up of the computer and watch it while jogging in my room. Much positive energy and love to you! :)
I really appreciate the intuitive approach you take to managing your diet. Thanks for making these vids. I'm not even vegan, but I love the energy you bring to being conscious about the relationship we can have with our food as humans.
This channel truly is one of the best and most inspiring, I really needed this to kick my ass cuz I wanna go hiking, bulk up some day and eat good and to summarize clean my body (temple) and just be myself the best way no matter the past o.o
and 13:39 🤣🤣🤣 i’m dead
HAha I know, I was dying editing it.
you are a really inspirational guy, love watching your Monday vlogs, makes the week seem alot easier to deal with!
Gold as always !! TY!! Bro ... you scared the shat out of me with that couger sound ! 😆 maybe you should start bringing coco 🐈 with you to protect you from other cats in the woods
LOL! I'm so glad you weren't being attacked by a big cat!
I'll be 49 in October, and I can say without a doubt that choosing to eat an exclusive plant diet several years ago is one of the best choices I've ever made.
I used the crystal deodorant for yrs. Then I switched brands of Crystal deodorant, and it really irritated my skin.
Really good videography & editing 👍

Haha you made me laugh throughout this video!! That lighthouse part had me on the floor!!
I was laying down watching this video and genuinely jumped and almost had a heart attack when you did the cougar jump scare hahaha awesome video as always. Someone asked me the other day who my favorite UA-camr was and i told them it was you and told them about your channel and the vegan lifestyle! Love the positivity and content of this channel.
Love ask me Mondays!!
I suffer from depression, anxiety and addiction. I have never been real active and have been using sugar and fatty foods as a way to escape my feelings. A week ago I decided enough is enough and have been eating vegan and doing a small workout every morning (10 minute push-ups + sit-ups). I don’t use weights and can’t currently afford a gym membership.
Do you have a weight-free workout guide/schedule for beginners?
Your channel is apart of me becoming better, so thank you and Crystal for the inspiration!
Love the forrest vid so much, it’s my favorite place to be. I have to travel a bit to get to one as I live in Eastern Wa (high desert/shrub step) I follow all your vids and am going back to the older ones, like this one, its currently New Years 2020. Thank you for what you’re doing to help people, animals and the environment. I love your energy. 🙏🏼🙂💪🏽🌲🌲🌲
Great quote about the shining light!
It's awesome to see someone get so stoked about being in the forest, especially in the age of digital addiction. Keep the positive content coming! 🌲
8:15 - You got me good. I was scared.
I get so excited for Monday's every week, then realise I can't watch until Tuesday :') this is my favourite series!
The shots in this video were so dope!! This definitely reminds me of like an episode of a nature show but better because its you answering nutrition questions! Thanks always for such great vids!
Derek, the light house quote was very profound! Loved it!
I shower daily and have zero problem with odor. I carry a purse-sized spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and spritz under my arms before/after the gym. Odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat and other bodily secretions. Alcohol kills bacteria, and no bacteria means no odor. I’ve been doing this for years with no negative effects. Deodorant and antiperspirant, on the other hand, caused me major issues with clogged pores and ingrown hairs (disgusting, I know).
Derek, I was wondering if you have ever done a prolonged fast of say three days or more. I have read of the numerous health benefits associated with a longer fast and am considering this as a reset.
You are seriusly the best UA-camr! The videos are awesome and you are awesome. Usually i get bored by this long videos but not this one, don't stop this
I heard dr. Greger say that ideal food combining is a myth, although I think most people would agree that fruits and beans, for example doesn't sound like a good mix. On that note, I think my actual question is what is your opinion on something like, Ayurvedic food combinations? (most of the "problem" combinations would go away just by eliminating animal foods) but it says, for example that fruit should be eaten alone, and don't go well with any other food, and i have noticed that when i eat a meal of just fruit, or oats with nuts and seeds even in large quantities, i don't feel tired afterwards, but when i ate oats with fruit or/and with seeds, i felt tired and bloated afterwards, even in small quantities. Thanks, your channel is great!
Your mini recipe book is great! Love the intro song :) The world is going plant based! By the way, I bought a natural smooth peanut butter and then I put whole peanuts in there and mixed it all up. Got the perfect amount of crunchiness, maybe this will help some of you guys.
Salt rock crystal! I’ve used it for 30 years! It’s the best thing ever! I’ve very bad body odor!and it works like a charm! Awesome video as always Derek!
Great video Derrick! I was lmfao when you pulled out the apple and peanut butter cause I had just finished yoga and that was exactly what I was eating! Spring has been so full of synchronicities!!! Thanks ✌❤💪🍎
QUESTION about Vegan Probiotics before going to a Cancun Resort... But first thank you Derek and Crystal for illustrating a healthy, happy and adventurous vegan lifestyle. Honoured to be on board and to own the Simnett Nutrition Recipe Book!...
Do I need to prepare my stomach for Mexico with probiotics even if I consume miso soups, tempeh, olives and nut milks on a regular basis? I offered to buy vegan probiotics but my meat eating friends want to buy their own because they don't feel that vegan probiotics would help protect their gut health when they will be consuming animal products. My answer was, protect your gut health by eating plant based foods with me! But I didn't have the educated answer to the probiotics question. Thank you
I usually don't like q&a's but you make it fun to watch
When you find an activity you absolutely love, you're always motivated! For me its rock climbing ♡
OMFG haha I loved the extra edits you added to this AMM. My heart stopped at the cougar and i cracked up at the inspirational quote vid edit
How amazingly beautiful and clear is that river 🖤🖤🖤
I respectfully disagree about goals. The significance of an activity is just the activity itself, not the payoff. Gains and cuts are just icing on the cake!!!
I have been vegan now for ~7months and absolutely love it. Energy is through the roof and I have lost a bunch of excess body fat that I have been carrying around for years, but one problem is that I have lost some gains along the way. How can I get back those lost gains on a vegan diet?
The deodorants from Lush and Every Man Jack are both really great.
Nice overhead shot crossing the bridge. Enjoyed the video - I live in a beautiful spot in CA and was 'almost' envious.
Thank you so much for your MOTIVATION!!! I just went running because of you! :D
So it’s the middle of the night and I thought this was gonna be a normal calm video and I would learn some stuff and then Your joke scared the hell out me!
Love the “lighthouse” thing 💚🌱🙏🏼
Thanks bro ✌🏼
I love these shots of the trees!
20:56 perfect music to go with the scenery! I absolutely loved that spot with the bridge.
Really like your videos and tips. My only critique is that not all chemicals are “harsh” and I think it is misleading how a lot of folks believe using natural oils or essential oils are any better for our skin. Essential oils are mostly just fragrances and our skin and bodies do not really recognise these or make any use of them. Natural oils supplied directly on to the skin may make our skin feel more supple but they don’t help protect the skin barrier very well since they slick right off. This is something I have recently learnt about through dermatologists. I am often attracted by “natural” labels but in the context of beauty or skin products I think it is misleading to always be summarising these many products that use “chemicals” as bad as there is often proof that certain ingredients are in fact good and have been designed to work together with our biology to assist our skin to keep moisture. I think organic is very important and there are obviously lots of products we don’t need that contain chemicals, but I just wanted to make the point that diy skin care or using oils on their own is mostly a myth to be any better for the skin from what I have learnt from dermatologists (who favour vegan products) and that not all chemicals are bad for us or not suitable for vegans. I strive for a balance between vegan and science so this is just my take on my journey so far that I wanted to share.
The Ask me Mondays have always been good but they're getting even better. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion. A few weeks ago during a recipe video you mentioned the brand name of the knife and knife sharpener you use and really like. I can't find the video so could you please repeat this info and also the specific model number. Thank you!
I love your videos! Your comedy and energy is great! 🌱💪 nothing better than a good laugh and some great knowledge!
Beautiful river view..
An always thanks for all the Nutrition facts!
I appreciate your goofiness. Keeping it real.
😱😱😱 Oh my goodness!!! You got me there with the cougar spoof! Man!!! Haha
One of my favorite videos so far! It was funny, jt was informative... I got scared 😂😂 and the edit, the music... awesome awesome !!
YES! Almond butter and apples yums
I guess it'll be interesting if you make a vid that shows you, your friends and what you do together. Love u
Dude you totally almost gave me a heart attack with that cougar thing. My gosh. But it is SO beautiful there. You are very blessed!
I use milk of magnesium as deodorant. Check ingredients to make sure it isn't flavored or with dyes. I get a cheap Dollar General brand. I leave the the cap off and let it evaporate some of the water a bit and it thickens up a bit and you can just put it on with one finger and rinse. I like it better than the coconut oil. I don't smell and neither does my hubby.
Love these long ask me Monday’s!
You are a lighthouse, Derek
omg 7:29 i totally thought i saw something behind you and then you scared the crap out of me🤣😭
Haha, so funny.
Hey Derek. Love your channel, it has made transitioning to a vegan diet easy and fun.
I need your help:
I travel so much for work and eating healthy is a challenge when you live your life in hotels and airports. Can you please give us some tips on how to stay healthy on the go.
I live in WA and I absolutely love the trails and greenery! I love that you do your videos out in nature, its perfect!
You should convince your mom to be in one of your vids if you have the possibility! :) Would be cool to hear about her vegan journey at a senior age.
totally got me with the cougar :D my heart kinda skipped a beat :D :D :D great video as always tho, love starting my day by watching your channel!
Dat inspirational music + scenic shots doe XD. lololol. Always love your videos, Derek! Thank you for putting so much love and work into all of them!
Hey Derek! Thanks for another video packed full of awesomeness! I have been vegan for 4 months and your videos are a lighthouse guiding my way. Stay the course! 2 questions... Do you eat differently on recovery days vs. training days? Also, what are your thoughts on vegans owning pets? I know you have a cat. I do as well and feel bad when I have to buy meat products for her and give my money to companies that I wouldn't otherwise support. This seems to be a debatable topic for many vegans. What are your thoughts?
*Update*
I found the video about "vegan cats" from 2 years ago(great vid btw). That pretty much answered my question. Now I'm curious, what DO you feed your cats? I still have a moral dilemma with supporting a company I don't believe to have ethical business practices.
Hi Derek, how are you? Thank you for your inspiration.
My question is: what do you do during rest days? Do you completely rest or Do you move your body with a nice walk in the forest? Do you train but softly? I usually practice yoga but some time is stressing too. Thank you!! A big Hug!
Rest days I usually do some active movement, like going for a walk or slow jog in nature. I will stretch, foam roll and sometimes do a bit of ab work (nothing crazy) too. Depends on how I am feeling (sore/tired)
Hey Derek - thanks for the inspo! My husband had to stop and do some pull ups on a tree branch in your honour yesterday :'). Question for next week:- Other then the health benefits, from your personal experience, what would you say are the positive outcomes when following a vegan lifestyle or has there been any negatives??. Thanks ! x
Thank you for all of your effort to make sure we get our 'Ask Me Mondays' fix! I love how hyped you get about the woods! Cool stuff in nature gets me hyped too.
That's my go to snack too!!!! I love it with granola sprinkled on top too. :D
In regards to what he said about the crystal deodorant.. all of them contain alum, a term for aluminum salts such as potassium aluminum sulfate or ammonium aluminum sulfate.
LOL! I have got to KNOW how many times you crossed that bridge to get all that awesome footage!!!!
Whenever my bird's freaking out, I put on your ask me videos and he chills out real quick. Derek is an animal whisperer!!!
OMG!!!!!!my heart!!!!!when that happened I almost choaked!!!!!
You kidder!!!!!!ha!
Great motivational speaking! The lighthouse quote is really helpful. I saw in an earlier ask me Monday that you don’t eat honey and don’t consider it to be vegan. Have you looked into the debate about figs not being vegan? And if not, please do and then share your thoughts in the next ask me Monday!
Thank you so much for answering my question :)
Derek! The deodorant I wear is a natural one called Schmidt's, it's all natural and works just as well as mainstream deodorant (and I'm at an active job as well as being an active person). I got it at Winner's, which I think you have in Vancouver :) just thought I'd let you know if you're unsatisfied with the effectiveness of your current deodorant!
Awesome video, Derrick! Beautiful editing and that drone footage really adds a lot!
Hi. I love your videos! I also love how you film in nature. I love being in nature as well but I live in the city so seeing you walk in the woods is so nice. My question is have you ever been backpacking? Would you like to if you haven't gone before? My dad and I are going on a trip in September so I was curious!
Barrier....Bear....I laughed out loud, for longer than was probably natural! I grow horsetail reed and wrap them up in a bunch to create a scrub "brush" to clean shovels and other rough stuff.
The crystal deodorant works great! But like Derek says you need to put it on basically as soon as you turn off the shower and rub it around for 30 seconds minimum.
The views are so breathtaking ! They get only better :)
Awesome quote of the lighthouse 💖😍✨
Hey Derek, I'm a high school student from the U.S. and I plan on going to the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Vancouver. I want to work in the health/nutrition field and I really like the idea of becoming a CNP. Anyway my question is, is there anything I should do to prepare for applying at IHN? Did you need any prior experience working in nutrition? And what kind of jobs were available to you once you graduated? Thanks for the help and I really love your videos, keep up the good work, man.
.
wondering the same things!
