My wife of almost 49 years put us on a vegan diet last October 10th. We threw away every animal food in the house. She has lost 14 pounds and several inches off her waist. I have lost 28 pounds and my pants are way too big! William is right about everything he says. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
@@mjjcollectables Congrats to you, too. As for your family, well, you'll never convince them. It's like an addiction, and they'll have to hit bottom before they can change. For now, they're held by the grip of those cheesy pizza and burger commercials on TV. They're deeply immersed in the American culture of factory farms, constant mass murder, and the flow of animal "products" onto store shelves and onto restaurant menus. It's a cult that won't stop until the oil runs out and forces the inevitable.
How beautufully said " Animals do not have to fear us and Love is what Veganisims is about" Im 63 and my body healed 7 yrs ago when I went vegan to stop harming the innocent. Ive not been sick since. What a beautiful man this is🌿🐥🐷🐄🐝🐰🐭💚🌱
He looks great at 58. Very inspiring. I am 52, been vegan on and off over the past two years, but am sticking to it over the past couple months. I was 223, now down to 191 lbs, looking better every day and feeling content and happy. I fall right to sleep at night (didn't used to) and I sleep soundly, not getting up all night to go to the bathroom either. I feel like I am returning to the days of my youth. I can tell William is passionate about the vegan lifestyle. He has a lot of energy when talking about it. He's like an apostle of veganism, spreading the good news.
How can you be vegan on and off? Do you mean plant based? Because once you go vegan it seems impossible to go back to having animals needlessly abused and slaughtered so you can needlessly ingest their body parts, organs and secretions. It is easy to be vegan. Someone said it was hard recently, I was like it can't be nearly as hard as it is for the animal. ❤ hope you don't mind me being candid :) best wishes, sounds like you're at least heading in the right direction. I say I went vegan in 2011. But I had been priming myself up toward it since the early 90's. It's a transitional thing usually and like all addictions relapse is inevitable in the beginning. But once you're "vegan" you know so much that there is no going back. You can't unknow the cruelty behind animal agriculture. What did it for me was Gary Yourofsky's "Best Speech You Will Ever Hear".
So enjoyable to see this man with so much energy and love and so interested to share. I think that's one thing that veganism does, it frees us up to access that love within us. Super interesting to see clever business wise people who are ethical vegans, we need them a lot.
I totally relate to Veganism making him feel better when depressed, when I am going through hard times, my Ethics of compassion towards animals helps me a lot!. 🌻🌎✊🏽
Watching your videos is such a satisfying thing. Finally hearing others with the same mentality being passionate about the same things I'm passionate about. Makes me feel like a less isolated vegan knowing there are others like me out there!
Great interview. I love how he is so multifaceted when he shares his knowledge and passions - from physical health to his philosophy about how we live our lives and relate to all life forms. He is a really enjoyable person to listen to as well.
I appreciate this interview so much. I’m in nyc been on this diet for almost 2years. Got certification as a plant based nutrition coach. I’m Mostly raw following dr Gregor daily dozen I started when I was diagnosed with high cholesterol didn’t want to take statin drugs went on this diet in 2 weeks my cholesterol was normal. I love the natural food. It’s delicious I don’t want to eat any other way. Exercise can be difficult with the pandemic. It is just as important to move. Trouble with love personally and in our society can paralyze us physically, emotionally and spiritually so I’m onboard with your new company. Love strong USA ! Thank you I’m looking to connect with others in nyc. It can be difficult w friends and family who are religious and eat meat at big dinners. I wish I was more of a chef. The city offers great vegan restaurants thankfully!
What a great inspiration! Thank you William for sharing your story & enthusiasm. I am also vegan. You gave me a lot of good tips for lovingly dealing with the naysayers! 🙏🏽💚🙏🏽
I was a "Vampire" and even did a blood type diet for bloodtype O, ... before that i was a 99% vegetarian. Now, since just recently ... i turned vegan and feel so much better, even with my kettlebell workouts, it's amazing. And to come to the understanding that humanity originaly is a plant eater species gave me the boost all the more to become vegan. Great vid, loved it 💪💖
You made me laugh out loud with the poop comment. 😄 It's so so true. 👍 Big hug to you, William, from a vegan in the Czech Republic. 🙂You are such an inspiration.
You are very welcome. Have you ever made a video about being vegan in your country? It's easy here in the states to go plant based. How is it where you live? Many blessings to you
I LOVE and THANK YOUR exuberant ENERGY. You said there's a lot of information on "our side" . I FEEL that WE are ALL on the same side called.... HUMANITY 🤩I I LOVE your ENERGY around PEACE and LOVE. I LOVE YOUR shirt.......CoExist.....that's the answer🙏💚😇 Fasting is FABULOUS 🙏💚😇 Fear is the GREATEST Virus. Keep our immune systems at 💯‼ OPRAH does what's BEST for OPRAH.

Thank you so much for pointing this out to me. A slip that I need to "check in" on. I should have said, "There's a lot of information backing the plant based claims. I will pay more attention in the future and look at my energy being more inclusive than. divisive. Much love and blessings to you.
@@TheLoveSignGuy ETERNAL GRATITUDE BELOVED, I FEEL your ENERGY which speaks much LOUDER than a human tongue slip. The fact that YOU would respond SOOOOOOOO LOVING speaks t o why your name is WILL LOVE STRONG.🌟⭐🌟😇🌟👏👏👏I KNOW that your food is SLAMMING as well. I REALLY would like KNOW how to purchase your BEAUTIFULLY, LOVING and AMAZING signs 🤩‼
I'm so happy I came across this channel, no nonsense woo woo "I'm on a journey" "raw food vegans" (so far);: just straight up regular people eating a sensible pb diet! I've been vegan for some 15 years, it's easy!! But man, 1984! Daayum! Keep up the good work!!!
What a joyful guy - what's not to love. As a fellow Ashevillian - I get to experience those LOVE signs everywhere with much gratitude. One thing William did not speak to but I AM sure he could - is the correlation between plant based diet and NO MEDICATIONS!! We are the same age and I have never been on any type of medication, though most humans and family I know around my age, it is just matter of fact for Western Medicine to proscribe certain "preventative" medications because of the age you are! I have not even had OTC or antibiotics for over 30 years. I am a yoga teacher and run trails in Asheville at the same level I have for 30 years. I also advocate the use of medicinal mushrooms, which have been a part of my daily diet for over a decade! I seem to be the same frequency as Lions Mane as I find them ALL the time ~ along with Turkey Tail and Chicken in the Woods, Reishi, etc. Plant Based, Vegan, love the earth love yourself Lifestyle IS a joyful reality. As a teacher of Consciousness and Energy - the closer we attune to and move with the Earth Mother, her cycles, her abundance, her medicine and her meditation, the more in sync we will be and feel with ALL life. I AM grateful for this channel and for a fellow LOVER OF LIFE, joyfully sharing his light and the truths that he follows. Thank you William and Vegan Linked. LOVE STRONG!! 🙏🏽
Unfortunately the problem with vegan prescriptions would be they would cure people and not keep them sick so they can continuously make money off of them 😢. Although I will say I've seen quite a few people that have had doctors at least suggest a plant based diet for their health. Baby steps I guess. But this guy has a beautiful energy ✨
Im not sure what you mean by "the problem with vegan prescription makes everyone healthy and so they make money off that & people keep paying" Non vegans are on prescription meds and fill up the hospitals. Majority of Vegans are not sick. Im 63 and have not been sick in 7 yrs. In fact Im faster, fitter, healther than non vegan friends 20 yrs younger than me. I only take 1 suppliment occassionally - Vitamin B12 whereas look at the non vegans medicine cabnets full of meds & vitamins
@@klerain5774 I was saying "they" as in doctors. I was also being sarcastic. And a vegan prescription as in vegan diet. Doctors make so much off of us being sick. Many don't want to cure, just let people keep their omnivore diet and stuff them with pills
His story sounds almost exactly like mine. Although I didn't start in 84, i agree with everything he says. Food addiction is real, it is not acknowledged much as an addiction issue, but that's exactly what it is. You will go thru withdrawal if you have been eating a standard American diet, you will have intense cravings, you probably will cave in to them, but, once you get through that, you will feel like a completely new, vibrant, person. If you ever want an interview or story just lemme know....🍇🍉
@@5thElement347 I am not trying to get you to sub but love it when people do. I only shared a link so you could request getting in the mix if you would like.
I started in 1985 and ive always been healrhy and people say I'm 30 . I'm 53. Ive never felt or looked unhealthy. I dont take B12 or any vitamins and I'm high in iron and B12... I eat raw fruits and veg and avocados every day and some boiled sweet potatoes and potatoes.....no animal products. I dont understand why anyone would eat meat or eggs or dairy because they always made me feel like crap ....i avoid grains
Whole grains are an excellent staple, why avoid such a healthy food? As for b12, have you checked your holotranscobalamin? I would love to get your story, if you're interested send me a message at VeganLinked.com/GetInTheMix thanks for watching and commenting and living a healthy compassionate lifestyle!!! ❤
You have spoke to so many of the core topics of discussion. I have one industry I am focused on beyond my passion for youth; aging and communities. I would like to connect. In addition, Please see new Book; Disease Reversal Hope, by Scott Stoll, MD and Dan Purjes. Film coming soon.
@@VeganLinked - Disease Reversal Hope now has a YT channel. Teaser up. Dan Purjes and Scott Stoll, MD - Forward by Dr. Esselstyn.and filmed by Small Box Entertainment- Eating You Alive filmmakers.
The proof is in the results you don’t even have to argue with people and mean you think you have to be well educated and it would be good for you to be educated only if for yourself. But you don’t have to take up every war that is presented to you and you don’t have to convince anybody that what you’re doing is the best way you just simply have to be the living example and when they’re ready there’s no denying what they see. You’re 58 years old I’m 53 I’m not perfect I’ve been living in my car for 5 1/2 years but I do not eat animals and I haven’t for 15 years which is nothing compared to the journey that you’ve had but just looking at you it’s so obvious you’re beautiful you’re aging very gracefully and that’s not accidental. It is your intention it is what you do with the life that you have which does not come at the expense of another and that is quite an admirable trait. Your hair looks amazing it is shiny and your skin is shiny and hot it’s not sagging or wrinkly you don’t have bags under your eyes you don’t have black circles around your eyes your skin looks phenomenal on the other parts of your body it is evident that you were healthy you don’t have to preach it you don’t have to make excuses for other people either I mean yes you were supposed to wake up at that particular time and thank goodness you did because can you imagine what the aging process would’ve done to him and I am 53 but it 39 is when I got my calling to change my life and it was for various reasons it wasn’t even about the animals it was about the way that I felt but when you start traveling in the circles you start to learn some horrific things that really disturb you. In my case it destroyed my ability to sleep to be kind to myself I was very angry with when I had participated and I was projecting that onto others I became very militant and now I don’t argue with people but if you ask me for help please don’t waste my time that’s all I ask don’t have me give you everything I have compiled over the last 15 years in research and study for my own personal reasons as well as my own experimentations. It’s insulting. I am not here to teach anybody anything I’m here to be the living example of what it could be like to live a life well lived it doesn’t harm anyone else and I definitely don’t have all the answers but I most certainly know that I am comfortable in my own skin and I can sleep well at night as a result of making better choices that affect not only myself but other sentient beings and that gives me a great sense of comfort as well as purpose. And I know so many people right now are struggling because they don’t have a purpose or they don’t know what their purposes. Your presence alone is a gift and there’s no time like now. So if we want to make our lives better and world around us a better place means we have to put the work in in our lives and everything will spill over from there isn’t a beautiful? And I’m sure William isn’t going to read all these comments but it’s pretty entertaining to hear that he actually lives in the Asheville area because I’m in North Carolina as well I am in Indian Trail Matthews area which is a good distance from Asheville but I’ve been to Asheville a couple of times and I really do enjoy it I just think it’s overpriced and of course the homeless epidemic there is really heart wrenching but then I live in my car so I know what that’s about. It’s a revolution and a movement toward something better and community is really important. That’s something I hope Asheville starts to work on because these people living on the street might have more hope and will to live if they weren’t putting all these poisons in their body which may or may not be offered to them for free and if they are fasting not by choice that’s a good thing but I know some people here who choose to take the money that they receive every month and put it into drinking and they’d rather do that and live in a tent which I don’t understand but I think it’s a psychological thing because that person that I’m speaking of in specific is 65 years old and he really likes the companionship that comes with drinking but it isn’t necessary I mean you can find in circles and you can find kind people without having to booze it up and that’s not me judging that’s me pointing out that no matter where he moves because he thinks going to a warmer climate will be better for him he could do everything that he wishes to do here without having to go there. Part of what I’m going to be investing my self in the next year is going to carpentry classes because I’d really like to learn how to build. And then doing that after I finish my first six months I’ll go back for the more advanced class and do another six months and hopefully I’ll be able to put together a tiny home for myself and just maybe help address some of the concerns that we’re having with homelessness here at first I have to start with improving my life and that’s where we start from whether it’s the diet that you consume or the way that you live your life or the way that you think are the people you surround yourself with it always begins with you and your awareness that something needs to change and there certainly is more and you are entitled to better sit with my making that choice and commitment you can have whatever it is you desire don’t let it be at someone else’s expense
yea it kinda multiplie slowly, im at 2 year and i see my 6pack, after the 4pack at 1 year. its empowering (even if look is superficial) to have good muscle mass, articulation flexibity and low pain, low body mass index. went vegan for animals, stayed plant based for performance and look, environement, health
"Nothing like another POOP story from a vegan! And, our sh!t smells better than everyone else's!" LOL!! Toooo funny!! Love this man's positivity, and fun, upbeat manner! He looks great, too!
Thanks, I know, darm vegan poop stories. Kind of like a proud (but very weird) parent standing over the toilet in admiration of it's amazing creation. You know what I don't like about the average poop joke....They STINK. Blessings to you.
Have you heard of Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine ( PCRM)? ( I expect you have) they have a you tube channel and do regular vids, all plant based Doctors. They mentioned on a recent vid that a Hospital in the US had created a plant based treatment section. Great news. It won’t be long before the results they get will cause the other Hospitals to follow, then Insurance companies will see their customers recovering fast and at a fraction of the cost! ✊🏽🌎🌻Btw you went Vegan 1 year before me, but I’m catching up, lol.
@@VeganLinked Thanks, yes I am interested, I’ll fill out the page in the link as soon as I have time, and am well enough, as I unfortunately have PTSD. ✊🏽🌻🌎

Interesting, as back in the 80s I was deep into the vegetarian health crowd and the word vegan was never once uttered. No one I knew eliminated all animal foods. I find his claims dubious.
Yes, back in the 80's I didn't use the word vegan. I was strict vegetarian. I didn't like using the word, strict. It sounded mean spirited and unfair. Consistant and dedicated are way better decriptions. Other than a few of my animal rights friends, I was very alone in my early vegan years. My roommate Tim was also vegan and that helped a lot. We both worked in the natural foods industry. In North Miami beach, I co-owned a Vegan Cafe called Miami Juice in the early 90"s. Other than one Jamacan vegan cafe, I think I was the only 100% vegan business in South Florida. I remember Michael Stipes and REM coming all the time for lunch while they were in town recording. ah, the good ol days. And with all due respect, your, "It didn't happen to me so it probably isn't true" is not a good way to truth. Research and being able to use knowlegeble judgement and decernment are great tools on a path to truth and wisdom .I do stop occasionally in amazement that it's been many years consistantly on this compassionate and loving diet. I hope this helps and answers any questions about me being vegan back in the rocking 80's. Blessings to you.
You obviously weren't everywhere omnipresent all the time. Surely you don't think you heard everything or you've heard of everything even still to this day. But imagine how hard it would have been without the Internet like being able to have this conversation on a phone under a video on UA-cam. Look into the natural hygiene movement that is now the national health association. I will be posting a video on it soon in the next couple of weeks probably I've already got it edited. The movement started in the late 1800s. The man in my interview is 7 years old and vegan from birth. I even know people who have been raised vegan from birth from the early 80s whose parents were vegan. Dr Klaper was vegan 40 years ago working with the Phoenix family when they went vegan. Surely you don't think Joaquin Phoenix is an illusion... I mean he was amazing in the Joker. But he isn't joking when he goes to vigils in LA.
human beings are omivors, so we don´t need to live the life of a grass-fed beef; also tried to live the way you live with the result, that I lost lots of hair; starting to eat butter, eggs and neat again they came back and kook, they are made out of creatine, so grass can´t nourish hair for example but collagen does
A healthy body will make everything it needs. Depending on another animal may be dangerous since it could lead to chronic diseases. Losing hair could mean many things like anemia, thyroid, detoxing, etc... obviously people don't magically know how to eat (since you weren't raised on a whole food vegan diet) to switching and knowing how. If you were detoxing then your hair would have grown back. Anemia, thyroid, etc could be fixed with proper diet adjustments. Ultimately you should see a plant based doctor. Did you consult with a lifestyle medicine physician when you thought you were having problems or did you just self diagnose and essentially relapse? Placebo is one thing but self diagnosing is another. And going to a meat eating doctor is yet another way to get in the wrong direction fast. Sure, it may feel good now, same thing addicts say though. My recent upload of Dr Klaper touches on this powerfully when he talks about some reasons why people quit.
He hasn't been vegan as long as he claims. We have all seen folks who have done it for a third of the time he claims, many of them, and they all fared poorly.
The occasional supplement may be great insurance for a multitude of reasons. As long as it isn't calcium, beta carotene, folic acid, vitamin E, etc... A low dose of some though like zinc, iodine, DHA, etc may be fine. It really depends on overall lifestyle.
@@VeganLinked I disagree, we easily get all we need to be v healthy and fit from plants, also I think it enables anti Vegans to say we need supplements. Ie, look at this 38 year Vegan he has needed multi vits everyday, and may discourage potential Vegans, who will think it’s not healthy or natural if we need supplements!.
@@VeganLinked Poppyseeds are rich in Iodine, also good for Zinc, Copper and Magnesium.DHA/EPA is made in our bodies from ALA. I’ve only ever taken B12( from Yeast Extract) and have been v healthy and fit Vegan for 37 years.
@@Kiyarose3999 you meant ALA. And preformed DHA may be found in sea vegetables. I understand a variety of whole plant foods have what we need. Some people may like to insure they're getting enough consistently. Perhaps their lifestyle is not as conducive for eating perfect consistently. And 37 years is great, but that doesn't mean anything if someone is trying to be a supercentenarian. I like your tenacity though. I generally don't advocate supplements. So I hear you. But I'm not going to pretend like I know taking a low dose supplement wouldn't be advantageous for optimum healthspan and lifespan, because I don't know. Our soils are sketchy, our lifestyles may be hectic, some may be coming into this with pre existing conditions, etc...
@@Kiyarose3999 and I understand that anti vegans may mis interpret this. They're always looking for an excuse to abuse. But they supplement too and plenty of long term vegans on my channel don't supplement. So, they'll never win. William made it clear he doesn't depend on supplements. He just does it to take awesome to another level. I hear ya though. Sounds like I need to get you in front of my cameras! Send me a message if you're interested veganlinked.com/GetInTheMix
This guy is close because he doesn’t quite get it. Human beings are frugivores and designed to eat a diet of raw fruits and vegetables. Go raw vegan and you’ll see the benefits increase exponentially from a cooked vegan diet. Read 801010 by Doug Graham and go watch John Rose’s channel. Going vegan is a great first step but there’s so much more to be gained from going raw vegan. It’s an inconvenient truth but a truth nonetheless: cooking our food damages and denatures the food which damages us. Acrylamides, advance glycation products, etc…there’s a long list of dangerous byproducts of cooking our food. If you thinks this sound like extreme bullshit and you don’t believe, just give it a try for a month. You may feel rough at first from the detox that will occur but eventually you will feel amazing. I’ve been cooked vegan and raw vegan and there is no comparison. Your mental/physical and vitality will improve far beyond where it is on a cooked vegan diet. Educate yourself and give it a try. You won’t be sorry.
Some foods are more nutrient dense cooked. We get it, raw is awesome. But it's not very practical for most lifestyles. I've got a video to finish this series with of a 70 year old vegan from birth who was raw first 32. He started eating raw because of traveling and since then feels most satiated with at least one meal cooked.
It’s so difficult being in a world where most humans are dedicated to hurting the most innocent, gentle beings. Then I see beautiful, inspiring people like yourself and my soul feels lifted again 💗 Thank you for sharing your feelings about everything that matters, precious Vegan brother. I became Vegan in 2012 when I saw the documentary Earthlings, but I have also seen Gary’s speech..WOW!! It is the best speech we will ever hear! I would play it on public transport so people can hear it, and yes I did receive negative responses, people don’t want to hear the truth when it doesn’t suit them.
I’m not a healthy Vegan, but I’m eating more fruit these days, especially now that it’s summer, luv the tropical fruits. Listening to you is inspiring me to be kinder to my body. Thank you for this great video! Every day I hope more and more people wake up and start living Vegan! My only wish, is for every innocent being to be safe from harm and their rights for their body autonomy and their life is written in the law and put into effect! The law should protect every sentient creature.
Justice and Equality for all!

I adore the energi and the look of being vibrantly alive - 🍀💚
I'm so happy I came across this channel, no nonsense woo woo "I'm on a journey" "raw food vegans" (so far);: just straight up regular people eating a sensible pb diet! I've been vegan for some 15 years, it's easy!! But man, 1984! Daayum!
Keep up the good work!!!
I agree!!
So proud to call you friend! Excellent story of your life! I love you!!
Thanks Brynda. I'm always inspired by you and your unlimited wisdom. I Love you.
What a joyful guy - what's not to love. As a fellow Ashevillian - I get to experience those LOVE signs everywhere with much gratitude. One thing William did not speak to but I AM sure he could - is the correlation between plant based diet and NO MEDICATIONS!! We are the same age and I have never been on any type of medication, though most humans and family I know around my age, it is just matter of fact for Western Medicine to proscribe certain "preventative" medications because of the age you are! I have not even had OTC or antibiotics for over 30 years. I am a yoga teacher and run trails in Asheville at the same level I have for 30 years. I also advocate the use of medicinal mushrooms, which have been a part of my daily diet for over a decade! I seem to be the same frequency as Lions Mane as I find them ALL the time ~ along with Turkey Tail and Chicken in the Woods, Reishi, etc. Plant Based, Vegan, love the earth love yourself Lifestyle IS a joyful reality. As a teacher of Consciousness and Energy - the closer we attune to and move with the Earth Mother, her cycles, her abundance, her medicine and her meditation, the more in sync we will be and feel with ALL life. I AM grateful for this channel and for a fellow LOVER OF LIFE, joyfully sharing his light and the truths that he follows. Thank you William and Vegan Linked. LOVE STRONG!! 🙏🏽
Thanks how long have you been vegan?
What an inspiration. He looks so fit. I might have to watch this one again.
I just love listening to all of these inspirational people that you interview😃
@@Newmexicobirds thanks so much for watching and commenting, so glad you like the content! 💚💪💚
Thank you very much William !
Unfortunately the problem with vegan prescriptions would be they would cure people and not keep them sick so they can continuously make money off of them 😢. Although I will say I've seen quite a few people that have had doctors at least suggest a plant based diet for their health. Baby steps I guess. But this guy has a beautiful energy ✨
Im not sure what you mean by "the problem with vegan prescription makes everyone healthy and so they make money off that & people keep paying"
Non vegans are on prescription meds and fill up the hospitals. Majority of Vegans are not sick. Im 63 and have not been sick in 7 yrs. In fact Im faster, fitter, healther than non vegan friends 20 yrs younger than me. I only take 1 suppliment occassionally - Vitamin B12 whereas look at the non vegans medicine cabnets full of meds & vitamins
@@klerain5774 I was saying "they" as in doctors. I was also being sarcastic. And a vegan prescription as in vegan diet. Doctors make so much off of us being sick. Many don't want to cure, just let people keep their omnivore diet and stuff them with pills
You are an inspiration! Thank you for being a pioneer and making being vegan easier for the rest of us
His story sounds almost exactly like mine. Although I didn't start in 84, i agree with everything he says.
Food addiction is real, it is not acknowledged much as an addiction issue, but that's exactly what it is.
You will go thru withdrawal if you have been eating a standard American diet, you will have intense cravings, you probably will cave in to them, but, once you get through that, you will feel like a completely new, vibrant, person.
If you ever want an interview or story just lemme know....🍇🍉

I started in 1985 and ive always been healrhy and people say I'm 30 . I'm 53. Ive never felt or looked unhealthy. I dont take B12 or any vitamins and I'm high in iron and B12... I eat raw fruits and veg and avocados every day and some boiled sweet potatoes and potatoes.....no animal products. I dont understand why anyone would eat meat or eggs or dairy because they always made me feel like crap ....i avoid grains
Whole grains are an excellent staple, why avoid such a healthy food? As for b12, have you checked your holotranscobalamin? I would love to get your story, if you're interested send me a message at VeganLinked.com/GetInTheMix thanks for watching and commenting and living a healthy compassionate lifestyle!!! ❤
Great interview, lovely man! VEGAN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this great video!! ❤
You have spoke to so many of the core topics of discussion. I have one industry I am focused on beyond my passion for youth; aging and communities. I would like to connect. In addition, Please see new Book; Disease Reversal Hope, by Scott Stoll, MD and Dan Purjes. Film coming soon.
New film by who about what?
@@VeganLinked - Disease Reversal Hope now has a YT channel. Teaser up. Dan Purjes and Scott Stoll, MD - Forward by Dr. Esselstyn.and filmed by Small Box Entertainment- Eating You Alive filmmakers.
He looks tremendous. Well done .
The proof is in the results you don’t even have to argue with people and mean you think you have to be well educated and it would be good for you to be educated only if for yourself. But you don’t have to take up every war that is presented to you and you don’t have to convince anybody that what you’re doing is the best way you just simply have to be the living example and when they’re ready there’s no denying what they see. You’re 58 years old I’m 53 I’m not perfect I’ve been living in my car for 5 1/2 years but I do not eat animals and I haven’t for 15 years which is nothing compared to the journey that you’ve had but just looking at you it’s so obvious you’re beautiful you’re aging very gracefully and that’s not accidental. It is your intention it is what you do with the life that you have which does not come at the expense of another and that is quite an admirable trait. Your hair looks amazing it is shiny and your skin is shiny and hot it’s not sagging or wrinkly you don’t have bags under your eyes you don’t have black circles around your eyes your skin looks phenomenal on the other parts of your body it is evident that you were healthy you don’t have to preach it you don’t have to make excuses for other people either I mean yes you were supposed to wake up at that particular time and thank goodness you did because can you imagine what the aging process would’ve done to him and I am 53 but it 39 is when I got my calling to change my life and it was for various reasons it wasn’t even about the animals it was about the way that I felt but when you start traveling in the circles you start to learn some horrific things that really disturb you. In my case it destroyed my ability to sleep to be kind to myself I was very angry with when I had participated and I was projecting that onto others I became very militant and now I don’t argue with people but if you ask me for help please don’t waste my time that’s all I ask don’t have me give you everything I have compiled over the last 15 years in research and study for my own personal reasons as well as my own experimentations. It’s insulting.
I am not here to teach anybody anything I’m here to be the living example of what it could be like to live a life well lived it doesn’t harm anyone else and I definitely don’t have all the answers but I most certainly know that I am comfortable in my own skin and I can sleep well at night as a result of making better choices that affect not only myself but other sentient beings and that gives me a great sense of comfort as well as purpose. And I know so many people right now are struggling because they don’t have a purpose or they don’t know what their purposes. Your presence alone is a gift and there’s no time like now. So if we want to make our lives better and world around us a better place means we have to put the work in in our lives and everything will spill over from there isn’t a beautiful?
And I’m sure William isn’t going to read all these comments but it’s pretty entertaining to hear that he actually lives in the Asheville area because I’m in North Carolina as well I am in Indian Trail Matthews area which is a good distance from Asheville but I’ve been to Asheville a couple of times and I really do enjoy it I just think it’s overpriced and of course the homeless epidemic there is really heart wrenching but then I live in my car so I know what that’s about. It’s a revolution and a movement toward something better and community is really important. That’s something I hope Asheville starts to work on because these people living on the street might have more hope and will to live if they weren’t putting all these poisons in their body which may or may not be offered to them for free and if they are fasting not by choice that’s a good thing but I know some people here who choose to take the money that they receive every month and put it into drinking and they’d rather do that and live in a tent which I don’t understand but I think it’s a psychological thing because that person that I’m speaking of in specific is 65 years old and he really likes the companionship that comes with drinking but it isn’t necessary I mean you can find in circles and you can find kind people without having to booze it up and that’s not me judging that’s me pointing out that no matter where he moves because he thinks going to a warmer climate will be better for him he could do everything that he wishes to do here without having to go there.
Part of what I’m going to be investing my self in the next year is going to carpentry classes because I’d really like to learn how to build. And then doing that after I finish my first six months I’ll go back for the more advanced class and do another six months and hopefully I’ll be able to put together a tiny home for myself and just maybe help address some of the concerns that we’re having with homelessness here at first I have to start with improving my life and that’s where we start from whether it’s the diet that you consume or the way that you live your life or the way that you think are the people you surround yourself with it always begins with you and your awareness that something needs to change and there certainly is more and you are entitled to better sit with my making that choice and commitment you can have whatever it is you desire don’t let it be at someone else’s expense
Thanks for sharing so much. I may like to get your story. Send me a message if you may like that veganlinked.com/GetInTheMix
Interesting .myself I m doing plant based food ..it seems to be good for me after 4mnths .
yea it kinda multiplie slowly, im at 2 year and i see my 6pack, after the 4pack at 1 year.
its empowering (even if look is superficial) to have good muscle mass, articulation flexibity and low pain, low body mass index.
went vegan for animals, stayed plant based for performance and look, environement, health
Awesome, Keep up the good work and feel free to message me. Blessings to you
Thank you for this beautiful video.
Looking forward to the day when animals lives are treated with love and respect by all people
Very Righteous!
"Nothing like another POOP story from a vegan! And, our sh!t smells better than everyone else's!"
LOL!! Toooo funny!! Love this man's positivity, and fun, upbeat manner! He looks great, too!
@PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) ....but hilarious the way he said it, made me literally laugh out loud!!🤣😂
Thanks, I know, darm vegan poop stories. Kind of like a proud (but very weird) parent standing over the toilet in admiration of it's amazing creation. You know what I don't like about the average poop joke....They STINK. Blessings to you.

Go Vegan, Regret Never. Wait i commented before Louis Gedo?
nice reason to go vegan he reply ahimsa
He looks 36 and has the energy of a 27 year old.
Great content, very true. 👏
You are amazing！
what a cool dude.
He looks amazing
Beautiful skin...
This would be a great graduation to change the world into a more loving caretakers God intended us to be.
Cool.
Have you heard of Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine ( PCRM)? ( I expect you have) they have a you tube channel and do regular vids, all plant based Doctors. They mentioned on a recent vid that a Hospital in the US had created a plant based treatment section. Great news. It won’t be long before the results they get will cause the other Hospitals to follow, then Insurance companies will see their customers recovering fast and at a fraction of the cost! ✊🏽🌎🌻Btw you went Vegan 1 year before me, but I’m catching up, lol.

‘’No Whey’’ hahaha! 🌻🌎
I was vegan before there were plants and all we had to eat was dirt and rocks
Pshhh
Oh yeah, I was vegan before rocks and dirt. All we had was molten magma. Boom LOL
@@TheLoveSignGuy Your heartburn must have been terrible
Interesting, as back in the 80s I was deep into the vegetarian health crowd and the word vegan was never once uttered. No one I knew eliminated all animal foods. I find his claims dubious.
Yes, back in the 80's I didn't use the word vegan. I was strict vegetarian. I didn't like using the word, strict. It sounded mean spirited and unfair. Consistant and dedicated are way better decriptions.
Other than a few of my animal rights friends, I was very alone in my early vegan years. My roommate Tim was also vegan and that helped a lot. We both worked in the natural foods industry. In North Miami beach, I co-owned a Vegan Cafe called Miami Juice in the early 90"s. Other than one Jamacan vegan cafe, I think I was the only 100% vegan business in South Florida. I remember Michael Stipes and REM coming all the time for lunch while they were in town recording. ah, the good ol days.
And with all due respect, your, "It didn't happen to me so it probably isn't true" is not a good way to truth. Research and being able to use knowlegeble judgement and decernment are great tools on a path to truth and wisdom .I do stop occasionally in amazement that it's been many years consistantly on this compassionate and loving diet.
I hope this helps and answers any questions about me being vegan back in the rocking 80's.
Blessings to you.
vegans have been around longer than that. the vegan society was founded in 1944 for a start.
@@TheLoveSignGuy lol, and how do you account for your success in this magical protocol while others doing it half as long suffer by it?
You obviously weren't everywhere omnipresent all the time. Surely you don't think you heard everything or you've heard of everything even still to this day. But imagine how hard it would have been without the Internet like being able to have this conversation on a phone under a video on UA-cam. Look into the natural hygiene movement that is now the national health association. I will be posting a video on it soon in the next couple of weeks probably I've already got it edited. The movement started in the late 1800s. The man in my interview is 7 years old and vegan from birth. I even know people who have been raised vegan from birth from the early 80s whose parents were vegan. Dr Klaper was vegan 40 years ago working with the Phoenix family when they went vegan. Surely you don't think Joaquin Phoenix is an illusion... I mean he was amazing in the Joker. But he isn't joking when he goes to vigils in LA.
Who do you know has suffered by it when you didn't even know about it to begin with? Your claims are the only dubious sounds here
human beings are omivors, so we don´t need to live the life of a grass-fed beef; also tried to live the way you live with the result, that I lost lots of hair; starting to eat butter, eggs and neat again they came back and kook, they are made out of creatine, so grass can´t nourish hair for example but collagen does
A healthy body will make everything it needs. Depending on another animal may be dangerous since it could lead to chronic diseases. Losing hair could mean many things like anemia, thyroid, detoxing, etc... obviously people don't magically know how to eat (since you weren't raised on a whole food vegan diet) to switching and knowing how. If you were detoxing then your hair would have grown back. Anemia, thyroid, etc could be fixed with proper diet adjustments. Ultimately you should see a plant based doctor. Did you consult with a lifestyle medicine physician when you thought you were having problems or did you just self diagnose and essentially relapse? Placebo is one thing but self diagnosing is another. And going to a meat eating doctor is yet another way to get in the wrong direction fast. Sure, it may feel good now, same thing addicts say though. My recent upload of Dr Klaper touches on this powerfully when he talks about some reasons why people quit.
He hasn't been vegan as long as he claims. We have all seen folks who have done it for a third of the time he claims, many of them, and they all fared poorly.
@Jonah Whale then burden of proof is on the ones making the ridiculous claims. Let us know when you have that.
Sure, Jan.
Not sure why he feels the need to take a multi supplement, or any supplement except B12 of course.
The occasional supplement may be great insurance for a multitude of reasons. As long as it isn't calcium, beta carotene, folic acid, vitamin E, etc... A low dose of some though like zinc, iodine, DHA, etc may be fine. It really depends on overall lifestyle.
@@VeganLinked I disagree, we easily get all we need to be v healthy and fit from plants, also I think it enables anti Vegans to say we need supplements. Ie, look at this 38 year Vegan he has needed multi vits everyday, and may discourage potential Vegans, who will think it’s not healthy or natural if we need supplements!.
@@VeganLinked Poppyseeds are rich in Iodine, also good for Zinc, Copper and Magnesium.DHA/EPA is made in our bodies from ALA. I’ve only ever taken B12( from Yeast Extract) and have been v healthy and fit Vegan for 37 years.
@@Kiyarose3999 you meant ALA. And preformed DHA may be found in sea vegetables. I understand a variety of whole plant foods have what we need. Some people may like to insure they're getting enough consistently. Perhaps their lifestyle is not as conducive for eating perfect consistently. And 37 years is great, but that doesn't mean anything if someone is trying to be a supercentenarian. I like your tenacity though. I generally don't advocate supplements. So I hear you. But I'm not going to pretend like I know taking a low dose supplement wouldn't be advantageous for optimum healthspan and lifespan, because I don't know. Our soils are sketchy, our lifestyles may be hectic, some may be coming into this with pre existing conditions, etc...
@@Kiyarose3999 and I understand that anti vegans may mis interpret this. They're always looking for an excuse to abuse. But they supplement too and plenty of long term vegans on my channel don't supplement. So, they'll never win. William made it clear he doesn't depend on supplements. He just does it to take awesome to another level.
I hear ya though. Sounds like I need to get you in front of my cameras! Send me a message if you're interested veganlinked.com/GetInTheMix
This guy is close because he doesn’t quite get it. Human beings are frugivores and designed to eat a diet of raw fruits and vegetables. Go raw vegan and you’ll see the benefits increase exponentially from a cooked vegan diet. Read 801010 by Doug Graham and go watch John Rose’s channel. Going vegan is a great first step but there’s so much more to be gained from going raw vegan. It’s an inconvenient truth but a truth nonetheless: cooking our food damages and denatures the food which damages us. Acrylamides, advance glycation products, etc…there’s a long list of dangerous byproducts of cooking our food. If you thinks this sound like extreme bullshit and you don’t believe, just give it a try for a month. You may feel rough at first from the detox that will occur but eventually you will feel amazing. I’ve been cooked vegan and raw vegan and there is no comparison. Your mental/physical and vitality will improve far beyond where it is on a cooked vegan diet. Educate yourself and give it a try. You won’t be sorry.
Some foods are more nutrient dense cooked. We get it, raw is awesome. But it's not very practical for most lifestyles. I've got a video to finish this series with of a 70 year old vegan from birth who was raw first 32. He started eating raw because of traveling and since then feels most satiated with at least one meal cooked.
👎 to the detoxing comment. Maybe call it withdrawal, but you're not detoxing.
Those kind of go hand-in-hand but really it could be detox, I imagine it could probably be both. Especially if someone is fasting.
You are probably correct, I had some heavy withdrawals going on at the same time. Blessing to you
