Thanks for sharing your story. I also notice that the commercials for the medications so often cause worse conditions than the thing they are prescribed for. Yikes! I have NEVER had a doctor talk to me about curing anything. My doctor just couldn't believe my blood work was so good (I'm 75 years old), so the next time she ordered TONS of blood work to try to find something. Guess what? I really WAS that healthy. hahahaha
I started eating healthy when I was diagnosed with MS in 2001 but wasn’t vegan( I ate chicken and fish but no beef or dairy) until 2016 I read the Engine 2 diets. What a difference food makes. My Ms has been in remission since 2001!
Hey Reebs, love your story. I started going WFPB in November of 2017. My doctor suggested I watch FOK and What the Health, after I complained about gaining and losing the same weight over and over and over again. At that point, I had recently turned 58 years old. He told me to let him know what I think of the movies. Well, after watching them, it just clicked for me. It was a lightbulb moment and I tried to slowly change over, but after a couple of days, I said screw this, I’m going whole hog. My husband still eats the Standard American Diet, but not me. He makes his food and I make my food, of which he is beginning to eat more like me. But, I don’t ever see him giving up meat or eggs. It doesn’t seem to affect him as he is a very healthy man who works out every day and never gains a pound. I lost about 25 lbs and kept it off until 2022. I think it was just frustration from covid, but that November I caved and ordered a bakery cake for our 30 anniversary. Well, that led to sugar cravings and chocolate cravings and I gained back 15 of the 25 lbs. Since watching your previous video, where you asked us to join you and eat healthy, I have cut out the sugar. Thank you for that. I have dropped a few pounds, but it’s not coming off as quickly as it originally did. No worries, it will come off eventually. I know this is the best way to nourish my body and keep me healthy. Thanks for the much needed push, Reebs! Take care!
Your last plant rant really convicted me. I'm now down 8lbs since that last rant, and am FINALLY getting my energy back. Just following the regular McDougall diet and drinking lots more water than I used to. Thank you for the kick - I needed it.
Thanks Reebs for sharing your story about how you eventually got on to a healthy vegan whole plant foods diet. It sad to hear about your grandma's friends getting sick and passing away. It is annoying how everyone seems to blame genetics for every health issue and never consider their diet. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Reebs.
What a great story! So amazing that you found this lifestyle at such a young age! You saved yourself and now you are helping to save us!!! You are the best, Reebs! Thanks for all that you do!!❤
I loved hearing your story, Reebs! Thank you and Dillon for creating this safe space where we can all bond over plant based eating. You are touching more lives than you know. Its a ripple effect. Also love your products, and recipes! Thank you! 😁
Thanks for sharing your story. I wish I would have known about this WOE when I was young. Then, like you, I could have raised my boys on a healthy lifestyle. The information I had back then was meat and potatoes with plenty of butter, sour cream, gravy and maybe a vegetable on the side was a healthy meal. I was 62 when I got the information and now I’m one of those grandmas who is thin, energetic, and med free. But I’m watching many of my friends suffer and learned they will have to find their own way. However I may have influenced about four people by example and that is a good feeling.
Thank you for sharing! Many yrs ago my mother & a brother got colon cancer. Drugs, surgery, yaddayadda followed, but dietary change? Nope, that wasn't discussed. What?! I thought, HOW can this NOT be caused by food choices? I refused the tests they went through, & decided to eat plants instead, to avoid what happened to them. It's been nonstop nutrition/dietary tweaking ever since, listening to what my body tells me. Whole food plant based feels the best, though there are some plants I am having to avoid as time goes on. The social issues of eating differently from rest of family & friends is challenging, but older I get, the less I care about that.
Thanks for sharing. So happy that you're into this way of eating and feeling better. I had stomach issues when I was younger. I had a revelation when I was in the hospital. The doctor had me on all these meds. I realized I had 2 choices, accept taking medicine or changing my diet. I now feel like how your feeling. So much energy. Thanks for being here. ❤
Thanks Reebs. Your videos are very inspiring. I wish I had learned of this way of eating years ago. After being a vegetarian for almost 40 years I began eating plant based no oil a year ago. Now that I’m 70 I still have much to learn. I appreciate you and Dillon and all the information and help (and great products) that you provide. Your last video rant really lit a fire under me to do better! Moni
I loved hearing your story! I had same issues with dairy as you, and grew up in the 70’s and was told I had a “sensitive stomach” and carbs were bad. Luckily I found potatoes !! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you, Reebs! I, too, used to suffer from migraines. 40 years. They disappeared immediately when I gave up dairy. I wish I'd known that 40 years ago! You and Dillon are helping so many people. Thank you for sharing your stories!
Yes! I feel so much better eating plant based, but the peer pressure is hard. I am a part of a tight knit religious community where there is a potluck at least once a week if not more and its hard being the one with the weird food all the time. My priest I talk to urged me to give up my diet because i was "going to crash". (Priests are just people and can be wrong, but it's still confusing to hear!) All those around me are agaisnt veganism. But I've been eating this way the better part of 7 years, and any time I veer off I feel awful! So I will just have to keep being weird!
Ask them who was healthier in the Bible Daniel who ate a plant based diet or those who ate the kings “delicacies”. Stay strong you know what makes you feel good. We are not to judge what someone else eats, but keep our eyes on our own plate.
@@karaleenicholson3423 Yes! I recall some people in my church some years ago eating the "Daniel Diet" Maybe one could research that and just call what they bring to the potluck part of the Daniel diet. It might be a gentle way of getting people insterested
@karaleenicholson3423 I think it's mostly because in the christian community at large there is an anti vegan sentiment going around. With a correlating interest in the carnivore diet. I think I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and people will see I don't wither away, and become interested 😂
I was addicted to milk also. Got my first migraine at 17. Full blown flashing auras, numbness on one side of my face and excruciating pain. I wish I had known then what dairy could do to you back then. I’ve been plant based for almost 5 years now and I rarely ever have any type of headache. It’s amazing. I love hearing your story. I also didn’t know what I was doing when I started being vegan. I am really into cooking now and trying new recipes thanks to your channel. Thank you! P.S. Your carrot dog recipe is so good!
Oh those med commercials… like the one for migraines where in small print it says may cause headaches…. Wtf???So happy to hear your story and that you found the solution
This is wonderful! At least you found out at a young age. I had to wait until I was much older to experience the benefits of WFPB, but I got rid of the high blood pressure and the diabetes. So I’m grateful to you for the support and recipes, et al that you and Dillion provide!!
I appreciate your comment about your family and friends not joining you in eating a whole foods, plant-based diet. I've had the same experience. I'm 67 and the only one in my family without type-2 diabetes and weight problems. But still they won't change. 🙄
Awesome, we are not fully PBWF but we just got your soup bundle and are starting with that and oatmeal. Loved the video and thank you for being there and keep reminding us that we can do that together.
Thanks for sharing your story , it really gives perspective how similar this story is to my own and hearing that others have gone through something similar , early adulthood I tried keto and atkins went through the same issues feeling like a zombie with no energy , when I stumbled on this channel I felt like I found something I didn't know I was searching for a long time and really needed to help rework things after I became gluten intolerant, just wanted to tell you I appreciate it so much!
I found WFPB looking to help my husband with RA because no way were we going to take immunosuppressants, duh. Still working on making it easy, that’s the difficult part to me! Thanks WYW for making it easier
I was the same, I was in college but moved off campus and had to start learning to cook...I learned meat was super expensive and not fun at all to cook. I started cooking beans and rice and eating huge salads and eating fruit because these things are so simple and cheap. I started feeling so good and then heard more about a vegan diet from a friend and realized there was a name for what I was eating haha. I had a couple of things like butter and occasional cheese or eggs to let go of but then I started feeling healthy for the first time. I like a higher raw diet and love how it makes me feel.
❤ Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for these sharing videos. I have been WFPB for 6 years and it was life-changing for me as well, and my fabulous husband has been on board for 4 years because he said he feels so much better not dropping meat and cheese into his gut. It’s just nice to tune in to what you have to say and share these words of encouragement. I do not have a local WFPB tribe so you are part of my virtual tribe ❤
I consider you a friend, Reebs! Even though we’ve never met. My journey didn’t start till after I had my first two babies. Thank you for sharing your story. I’d love to hear even more of how your story continues. ❤
Dr. McDougal was my entry to the good life. I accidentally stumbled on the Starch Solution. I wish I could say I’m 100% vegan. Gave up sodas, sugar, meat, use little fat, no dairy except for cheese. I wish I could blame my husband for that, but I’m in control of what I put in my mouth. Thanks for sharing and the pep talk
Thank you, Reebs, for sharing your journey. It’s amazing how the marketing campaigns really know how to get everyone to believe that we need this or that to cure this or that when really it could all start with what we put in our mouths. I love this format of video!! Keep ‘em coming!! ❤
Love your heart Reebs. Being loved onto this healthy path makes it so much easier. I'm sorry that some of those you love have taken exception to your enthusiasm for a diet that can help our bodies repair itself. Even when on in years, when we eat healthy, our body will quickly heal. What could be better than feeling younger as you get older?! Thanks for your warmth and care. And thank you to both you and Dillon for seeking ways to make this lifestyle as simple as possible without sacrificing yum.
This is excellent!! It’s also the best option for the environment as well. Try to remember that eating plant based means you’re not directly contributing to animal cruelty because this is what keeps me more motivated than anything else.
Love your story Reebs! So inspiring! I dug out my Starch Solution book and I going to re-read ASAP. Thank you for sharing. I've been WFPB'd since 2015 and I'm always learning something new! 😀
This story resonates with me. Food is medicine, yet so many people refuse to make the connection between what they are putting in their mouths and the ailments they have. I think my family is too stubborn to want to admit that eating all the high sugar high fat high salt foods is something that isn't good for them. They would rather "eat what they love" instead of have to change their habits. I have given up trying to change anyone and just try to go about my life the way I know will help me thrive. I love you and this channel ❤
Nailed it. And sadly others who deny this truth will come to it later, only when it’s harder to fix. But they’ll be ok, we will help them too when they finally come around. Keep at it. You’re doing great just sticking to it among a group who won’t accept truth.

It takes about 100 calories of grain to produce about three calories of beef, or 100 calories of grain to produce 12 calories of chicken. Researchers have found that if we grew crops exclusively for humans to consume directly, we could feed an additional four billion people.
It was Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead that turned me from a vegetarian to vegan. I didn't find John McDonald for another 3 years. These 2 men changed my life for the better and I'll be eternally grateful.
So glad you you discovered Dr. McDougall and then took notice to what he had to say. Back in the day (1800's) doctors took the time to talk to the patients about what you eat which keeps you healthy. Food is medicine. You have probably heard of it but if not... The 8 laws of health are a way of life (NEWSTART) N=nutrition E=exercise W=water S= sunshine T= temperance A=air R= rest T= trust in God..
Oh, if only I had learned about the dangers of dairy decades earlier! I started wfpb two years ago, in my mid-40's and I can honestly say I've never felt better in my life! I honestly blame dairy for my health issues since infancy- chronic congestion, sinus infections, ear infections, sleep apnea, brain fog, fatigue, and later on, menstrual issues. Life would have been a lot more pleasant if I had not been addicted to dairy. But, I thought that "milk did a body good" and I needed it for calcium and protein. Quite the opposite! 😠 Thank you Reebs and Dillon for all you do to promote better health! 💞
Can you do recipes for single people? I don't have enough room in my freezer to cook for 4 and then freeze 3! It also seems a lot of effort to cook meals all the time for just one person!.
I have type 2 diabetes and am so frightened to try eating carbs. Funny thing is that i have a hard time eating meat so I’m sort of floundering as to what to do. When i mention WFPB to my doctors i get the “deer in the headlights” look. My family is Also constantly watching what protein i eat. Very frustrating
You must do more research, that is what you really have to do right now. There are books that cover this that will show you this is the right way. Read Mastering Diabetes ASAP. This fear of carbs is misplaced. It’s the fat you should be very very afraid of in your condition. This reply is probably the most slam dunk advice I’ll give all day. Please don’t pass it up.
Potatoes are a nightshade. I eat them and instant nerve pain and inflammation. Same with grains, instant pain. We are all different in what we can eat and how our body responds.
I’m a recovering heart patient following and doing all this. And I love your channel. But it was Jesus who changed my life forever. Just to put things In context.
Wait until you are in your seventies and all your friends have died in their sixties: the addicted cigarette smoker who could quit alcohol but not cigarettes, the health crank weight lifter who lived on a “high protein” meat diet for muscle mass, the proud bon vivant who went from obesity, to diabetes, to kidney failure. I wanted to be polite and not impose my values onto them, set an example. But they never forgave me in the end for surviving with my healthy lifestyle while they died in such pain.
but people do live on juicing. and they seem to be doing amazing. i'm not raw yet, but it makes sense to me that cooked food is dead. that can't be good.
No this is not correct. Read Catching Fire by Richard Wrangham. Also, it would be hard to live longterm on just juice unless you have a lot of fat stored, which you will burn off pretty quickly. Juice fasting is very low calorie.

TOTALLY agree with everything you are saying! Refreshing to hear this content - I wish more people could discover what we understand now.

Another awesome video, Reebs! You were meant to do these videos!
Thank you Reebs!!! I have seen 2 of just you videos now. You really stroke a cord with me.
This is excellent!! It’s also the best option for the environment as well. Try to remember that eating plant based means you’re not directly contributing to animal cruelty because this is what keeps me more motivated than anything else.
The best thing I did when I was vegetarian was remove dairy from my diet. My stuffy nose that I had for years! Went away!
Thank you for another eye opener revelation.
Love your story Reebs! So inspiring! I dug out my Starch Solution book and I going to re-read ASAP. Thank you for sharing. I've been WFPB'd since 2015 and I'm always learning something new! 😀

It takes about 100 calories of grain to produce about three calories of beef, or 100 calories of grain to produce 12 calories of chicken. Researchers have found that if we grew crops exclusively for humans to consume directly, we could feed an additional four billion people.
me too, though I switched to a vegan diet of beans and greens to get enough calcium.
It was Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead that turned me from a vegetarian to vegan. I didn't find John McDonald for another 3 years. These 2 men changed my life for the better and I'll be eternally grateful.
Yep!!! I don't know how I managed to stumble on that UA-cam lecture from John McDougall (I don't even think it's up anymore...) I feel so lucky.
So glad you you discovered Dr. McDougall and then took notice to what he had to say. Back in the day (1800's) doctors took the time to talk to the patients about what you eat which keeps you healthy. Food is medicine.
You have probably heard of it but if not...

You nailed it again, Reebs ❤ wow..that Dillon is a lucky man😊
Awww, that's so sweet. Thanks!
Me too!
Good girl REEBS! Preach!
Oh, if only I had learned about the dangers of dairy decades earlier! I started wfpb two years ago, in my mid-40's and I can honestly say I've never felt better in my life! I honestly blame dairy for my health issues since infancy- chronic congestion, sinus infections, ear infections, sleep apnea, brain fog, fatigue, and later on, menstrual issues. Life would have been a lot more pleasant if I had not been addicted to dairy. But, I thought that "milk did a body good" and I needed it for calcium and protein. Quite the opposite! 😠 Thank you Reebs and Dillon for all you do to promote better health! 💞
I can't believe the misinformation they allow to be spread about this. Ugh. It's affecting so many!
I suffered badly from migraines myself. They almost instantly disappeared after discovering and following the starch solution. ❤
It's so wonderful that we found a true cure!
Can you do recipes for single people? I don't have enough room in my freezer to cook for 4 and then freeze 3! It also seems a lot of effort to cook meals all the time for just one person!.
I have type 2 diabetes and am so frightened to try eating carbs. Funny thing is that i have a hard time eating meat so I’m sort of floundering as to what to do. When i mention WFPB to my doctors i get the “deer in the headlights” look. My family is Also constantly watching what protein i eat. Very frustrating
You must do more research, that is what you really have to do right now. There are books that cover this that will show you this is the right way. Read Mastering Diabetes ASAP. This fear of carbs is misplaced. It’s the fat you should be very very afraid of in your condition. This reply is probably the most slam dunk advice I’ll give all day. Please don’t pass it up.

Potatoes are a nightshade. I eat them and instant nerve pain and inflammation. Same with grains, instant pain. We are all different in what we can eat and how our body responds.
Can you eat white rice?
You can easily avoid nightshades and maintain our same healthy diet. This is not that uncommon.
I’m a recovering heart patient following and doing all this. And I love your channel. But it was Jesus who changed my life forever. Just to put things In context.
Go potato go

Vegan is healthy and you don't harm animals

I know what that Atkins diet gave you, Reebs…constipation! 🤣 Another great rant!?
LMAO. "My Pooping Journey."
@@WellYourWorld DO NOT ask me how I know! 😉
Wait until you are in your seventies and all your friends have died in their sixties: the addicted cigarette smoker who could quit alcohol but not cigarettes, the health crank weight lifter who lived on a “high protein” meat diet for muscle mass, the proud bon vivant who went from obesity, to diabetes, to kidney failure. I wanted to be polite and not impose my values onto them, set an example. But they never forgave me in the end for surviving with my healthy lifestyle while they died in such pain.
It's this experience that made me proselytize to my friends.. but they don't want to hear it.. it's a sad place to be. Glad we have each other.
but people do live on juicing. and they seem to be doing amazing. i'm not raw yet, but it makes sense to me that cooked food is dead. that can't be good.
No this is not correct. Read Catching Fire by Richard Wrangham.
Also, it would be hard to live longterm on just juice unless you have a lot of fat stored, which you will burn off pretty quickly. Juice fasting is very low calorie.
