I'm ordering the infuser when i get my taxes cause i bought a dollar tree one (love the tree) but it rusted in a month of use... ugh lol.... anyways the only reason i am commenting right now is.... I JUST LOVE YOUR EARRINGS!!!! thanks for your channel!
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY Beautiful Stacy 😍do you mind too tell me after I pressure cooked my greens do I need to take off the rings-bend’s?? I am new to canning SO PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU CAN REPLY-THANK YOU 🙏🏻🥰🥰
I just started drinking Kombucha. I have my first jar of vinegar going as well. I cant wait for your cook book. Do you grow your own nettle? I have dead Nettle in my yard. I will dehydrate some of that next week. Do you grow comfrey? I'm so glad that I found you.
Girl...I swear I thought that you were 45ish! I will be 60 in October..You just gave me such a boost of encouragement here to get back to all of the truths that I have known yet have fallen away from! YOU sister are an INSPIRATION!!! Thank you from a humble, grateful follower!
Herbs and teas Ginger root Lemon balm Nettle (stinging) Super food Eggs free range Fermented foods good for gut like sauerkraut ie Ghee clarified butter Garlic Cruciferous vegetables broccoli sprouts too Dark leafy greens Thanks for sharing y'all 💜🙏😎
I encapsulate ginger and turmeric to take everyday. I make kombucha to drink, which I live trying different flavors. I make kimchi and ferment many veggies. I make homemade bone broth for sipping in the afternoon or base for soups. I make fire cider which is great for colds, flus and allergies. I forage mushrooms and many medicinal plants to make tinctures, tea blends and such. AND just to encourage anyone who doesn’t live in the country… I live in an apartment! But, I take advantage of woods and friends land. They know to call me and let me know they have an abundance of this and that!
I like your comment about" healthy apartment living" lol People want "the farm" Or " off grid" but many dont realize the time and en energy that goes into sustainable living. They want it all NOW. That's how society became reliant on fast food, pharmaceutical drugs and all the other nonsense that corporate Conglomerates make big money from. If they could bottle common sense, that would be very useful. Lol
Mushrooms to me are intimidating. I love mushrooms and would love to forage. Will need to learn more about what is safe in this area. Maybe local cooperative extension could help or refer me to someone.
@@kellyrichards1354 I was always intimidated by mushrooms also. I got a mushroom foraging field guide and just started studying them. I wear gloves so I can touch them to look closely and try to learn about them and their identification.
Great information to share! I don't think a lot of people understand what it means to have a strong immune system these days... Avoiding virus/illness is a lot more than just washing hands or avoiding contact. It's about building internal health.
Just discovered your videos, love them. Will keep them. Great info. I am 60 and loving it. Had a baby girl at 47, healthy and smart she is now 14. Will teach her all this too. Thank you Stacy.
You had a baby at 47? Way to go. I’m 36 and going on baby 4, I still want another girl but I get concerned the older I get to have more. I don’t know if you have tips but Iv been intuitively been thinking I should make my daily tea of nettles and red raspberry so I’m glad to come upon this video for vitality. She’s so motivating wow and so are the comments in here, thanks for sharing
Would this comment be said if she were a man? I hate it when women’s health is always based on looking years younger. How about how healthy you are based on how a woman feels inside? So tired of everything with women being based on beauty standards.
I would add homemade Kefir. So easy to make and keep the grains/curds going. Kefir has an old history and contains 35-50+ good bacterial flora for gut health. Yogurt has around 7. Thanks for a good presentation on keeping oneself healthy :)
Started growing, ginger, garlic, kale and lemon balm this year. I just started to ferment and always grow beets, and swiss chard, love the greens. Grew some broccoli rabe micro greens last week. I think ghee is the next thing to start.
@@marthachisnell3346 you can grow ginger in containers or in the soil. When buying ginger to grow (most any grocery store will have it in the fresh veggie section, by the herbs),look for rhizomes (roots) that have ‘eyes’ - places where you can see the root is going to put out a bud. Each of those should produce a stalk/plant, when you plant these 1 -2” above the bottom of an oval or shallow, large bowl, with 3” or so of soil or potting mix on top of it. The more eyes or buds on the ginger you buy to plant, the more plants you’ll have.😀 I suggest doing an internet search for ‘how to grow ginger’, because the size and shape of the root(s) you buy, and how you put them in the planter, will determine if you get basically one central, tall plant, or many along the original root. Good luck!👍🙏
I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome and I am feeling devastated. I trust in the Lord for His power to be made perfect in my weakness, but I also greatly appreciate videos like yours that shed light on how certain foods can help bolster the immune system. I'm only 42 years old and I have a 4 year old and 6 year old, but with God's help, a loving family, and great advice from fellow Christians like you all, I know God's strength will be made perfect in my weakness. Thank you for inspiring me to take baby steps in growing some of our own food. My kids have loved eating all their tomatoes, peppers and strawberries this past year. I'm going to use my lemon balm daily now too!
Joanna I also have Sjogrens. Turmeric with a little black pepper also is great for inflammation. Cooking with herbs and spices has helped me alot. Oregano, Rosemary and basil. Blessings..
@Faith Foor Thank you so very much for the advice. I will try growing and using some of those herbs and try turmeric. God's blessings and mercy on you too with this condition.
This is an amazing channel. Not to take you away and suggest another but look up Dr Brooke Goldner. She talks about greens like broccoli and cabbage as super foods that create dramatic cellular repair that reverses diseases like what you have, lupus, and so many others. I did her protocol for a short time and pain I had in my body has gone away.
Thank you, Stacy. This is going straight to my "saves" in preventative health. Excellent info for when we forget that God had us covered from the beginning.
Hi Stacy, I try to eat all of these also every day. I eat spinach every day in my smoothie or with my fresh eggs. I put my organic garlic in a jar of honey and let it ferment. Its wonderful and the garlic infused honey is great for salad dressings. I eat all organic non processed foods. I agree with all the foods you talked about. I am trying to use ginger more. I think I will try it with the other herbs in teas. It just seem to upset my stomach when I put it straight in foods. I love blueberries and I grow my own veggies and most of my fruits. I have kale all year round in my garden and also freeze it and add to soups when I make my yummy soups. I have alot of inflammation in my joints from having covid, so I am trying to really eat a good diet that keeps my inflammation down. Thanks for all the tips on eating and living healthy! 💞🙋♀️🙏
Stacy could you please do a vid about the symptoms of your health before you went off grid? I’m sure people and us may be having them too but don’t know what to look for. We totally look at labels and try to do our very best to avoid chemicals. So happy you are doing the fermenting book.
I love elderberry syrup for immune help 🤩 I add cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, and of course, local honey. I'll add anything extra to it as needed like echinacea, mullein if lungs are really congested, rose hips for Vit C, Nettles, Lavender for a calming effect, or any other herbs I may feel like throwing in 🙂
We love to make tziki sauce at home by adding chopped garlic and cucumber to plain yogurt and we use it as a dip, on salads, and on meats or sandwiches. It's a great way to add raw garlic and yogurt to our daily meals.
Remember to add a little dill, plus salt and pepper are good as well. For anyone looking for a recipe, it’s spelled tzatziki, although we always eyeball and taste test the ingredients based on the size of the cucumber that we use. If you know you’ll have leftovers, definitely squeeze the cucumber after it’s grated so you don’t end up with watery yogurt.
Spectacular teaching! You need to be on the cover of AARP for Foods to Eat when your are 60 years young! You are a just beautiful representative for healthly living!
60 years young? What is the point of saying that? On top of that, you had to mention AARP. If you really thought she looked good, you would have made very different comments.
I needed this video. I just told my daughter I needed to start including things in my diet to build up my immune system. I had no idea what I needed to eat or drink. Now I do!!! Thank you so much!! This will help me a lot. I'll let you know moving forward how I'm starting to feel. I have high blood pressure and I do not like having to take a pill twice a day. I'm so grateful for all of this information. I will incorporate these super foods in my diet everyday from now on.
I will join you! I have higher blood pressure and have been taking a pill for it for several years...and would love to get off of it....maybe now I will be able to.
@@littlehummingbird1015 - I’m no longer following this channel after ordering tons of stuff and not getting it. Plus, I followed several “recipes “ and it made my stomach very sick. Good luck to y’all. I’ve found magnesium, hawthorn berry, to work wonderfully for my bp. God bless.
From down in central Louisiana, soon to be in northwest Arkansas I read that beet leaves and broccoli leaves are better for you than kale and for me easier on my tummy. Always love all your great advice. Watching you several years ago got me started on fermenting. Thank you so much. When we get to Arkansas we will be starting a homestead so loving all the information from you I can get. Shabbat Shalom (a few hours early).
Coffee is my "superfood", I get green beans, roast them (both Guatemalan and Ethiopian), grind them, and sweeten with a mix of erythritol, monkfruit, glycine, inulin, and inositol, and add a scoop of MCT powder to lighten, (and sometimes put in a scoop of collagen). It sounds complicated but it is delicious and VERY energizing.
Hi Stacey, we have been binge watching you guys all afternoon. Thanks for the great tips and advice. One thing that I try to eat every day is 1 to 2 Brazil Nuts a day, because I have been told, they have the highest concentration of selenium of any food. Also Pistachios have the highest concentration of melatonin. Great for a midnight snack. Have a great day!
Thank you Stacy😊 🌼 One of my favorite go to's when I'm not feeling good (I have Dercums Disease) is water with lemon or lime and a generous sprinkle of cayenne. I was afraid to try this a couple years ago until I just decided on it and it is an extremely refreshing tasting drink, cool, relaxing! And when I have a lot of inflammation, I drink fresh juiced pineapple juice or celery juice and the next day the inflammation is gone🧡😃
I love my lemon water with cayenne, and add fresh grated ginger, you can just cut down a thumb or 2 of ginger as well, I also add some powdered ginger, cinnamon, and a shake of turmeric with a sprinkle of black pepper to get the curcumin going. I top it off with some raw honey. Always 1 lemon. Both halfs juiced in. I dink this all day most days!
This was the video I needed to see! Some I already knew but as the saying goes, you learn something new every day! Stacy, I don't know how you remember all this but glad you do & are willing to share it with us...thank you so much! ❤
I sauté Leeks, Collard greens, Kale and parsley with lots of Ghee and Garlic every morning and serve my two poached eggs on top. So delicious. Sometimes I add mushrooms to the sauté pan. No need for bread with those poached eggs then. Great info here and I try to do just as you do. Maybe I need more Lemon Balm though. Will grow some this summer. Very cute home off grid. What a great life.
using my sons account to comment but I also learned that the best way to get all the benefits from the whole egg is to soft boil it for 3 minutes. there are videos how to do it. I eat an egg like this everyday. also you can slow fry it in tallow and reap the benefits of tallow. I concur with all you suggested. you are beautiful I turned 60 this year as well. hard to say that number. thx to you and Doug. keep the faith and pray always.:)
I dehydrate all my greens, powderize them and use them in EVERYTHING. On eggs, meat, soups, gravies, anything that you would put salt or pepper on! Luv it.
@Mundus Inversus -don't need a dehydrator. slow low oven on a cookie sheet, outside on a spare screen in the summer, slice very thin, dry, crumble or crush. I dry sweet potato and backyard dandelion leaves,(otherwise lost to composting). I eat them, feed them to my dogs, rabbits, fish all winter.
I absolutely love your videos Stacy, you have so much amazing information all the time, and it's obvious you practice what you preach, you are beautiful and vibrant
Great video! I have a 25 year old blueberry bush. It makes so many berries and I add those to salads and smoothies, etc. I get enough berries from to the bush to share with friends. Also, I love to hear the bees every spring, buzzing around the bush, while they are pollinating the fruit. With the bees buzzing and the birds singing, it’s a great time. I also pet the bees, rubbing the fuzz on their backs! It’s so soft! I have you beat by two years Stacy, and I don’t take any medicines. Eating healthy is the way to go! And it’s delicious!
I just discovered you and your husband and absolutely love both of you! I cannot wait for your fermentation cookbook to come out. I just bought some mason top products through your link I cannot wait to start fermenting and sprouting. You are an inspiration, thank you.
Also turmeric for ant-inflamatory (it's super powerful for that), cayenne pepper (hotter the better, but taken in capsule form) for the cardio-vasular system, apple cider vinegar to balance the body's acidity, help reduce inflamation, and promote good gut health, and lemmon juice for a myriad of benefits.
Albert Head- you are sooo right about the turmeric! I know because when I had heavy metal poisoning my nutritionist had me on turmeric gel caps for the inflammation I had. Boy did that stuff work!!! Its a great one for inflammation folks.
I’d grow lemon balm in a pot, it’s crazy and will take over a whole garden box, we only have three, so it’s too much for us. It’s even now growing in my lawn about 20 feet away from where it was planted. Tonight I added it to some roasted vegetables, along with rosemary thyme, and sage. We had it with roasted sweet potato, and chicken. It was very nice.❤️ I’m always looking for new things to do with herbs. Thank you so much for your wisdom Stacy, I’m 60 too!
Stacy! Thank you so much for sharing! I am starting my health journey in taking care of my body, mind and soul. I love so many things you listed and excited to incorporate your top 7 into my daily routine. I am learning to be intentional with my food. 🥰
Thank you Stacy! Brilliant choices indeed. I love each and every one of your choices. I just started using Ghee, and love it. I used to use EVOO, forever. Then one day I spoke to my cousin who happens to be a very knowledgeable man, a world traveler and he shared with me that I must be careful buying Olive Oil from Italy because most often you are not getting pure Olive Oil. He has made many trips to Italy and learned that it's very rare to get pure Italian Olive Oil. Greek Olive Oil or Olive Oil from Spain is best. I found it to be very expensive and hence, I did some reading on Ghee as a healthful alternative. I absolutely love it and it's more affordable as well....so thank you for confirming that I'm doing the best for my health. I thank God every day because I am healthy, and I try to use wisdom and discernment when choosing what I should eat and drink. Just letting you know how much we appreciate all your hard work!
I eat homemade yogurt with berries every morning. Half gallon of grass fed milk is less than $5, and it yields half gallon of fresh yogurt easily made in a crock pot. Love your videos!
@@dimitrialiberty2779 recipe for yogurt: pour one half gallon of organic grass fed milk such as Organic Valley brand into a crock pot. Cover and turn on lowest heat setting. Set a timer for 2 hours and 45 minutes. When timer rings, turn off the crock pot and reset the timer for 3 hours. Keep cover on . After 3 hours, remove cover and add half a cup of plain organic yogurt, but first put the yogurt in a bowl and add some of the heated milk to the bowl and stir before adding it to the crockpot. This will temper the yogurt so that it is not too cold to shock the warm milk. Stir all the tempered yogurt into the crockpot milk and cover again. Wrap the crockpot with 2 large towels to insulate it and leave it in warm place overnight. In the morning, you will have a half gallon of fresh yogurt to put into containers in the refrigerator. This makes a creamy yogurt that is not thick like store bought, but is free of gelatins or thickeners and high in probiotics. Enjoy!

I'm 34 & I know others have said it but WOW you're such an inspiration. You truly motivate me so much. You are a very intelligent, capable, beautiful woman. Thank you for all of the information!! This information is invaluable!! My dream is to buy or build a particular tiny house or 600 sq ft& put it on 5 acres. Make a large garden, chickens, deer ect. ❤️.
Hey Stacy, I love all these as great health staples too, and I'll be hitting 60 in August, yet am as healthy as I was as a young adult in my 20s! Three yrs ago, I overcame metabolic syndrome, inflammation, gut issues and overweight with healthy keto and intermittent fasting.
Wow, this was super informative. I didn’t know about the lemon balm and nettle. I will definitely add this to my tea repertoire. Thank you Stacy. I couldn’t help but notice, I see your sweet potatoes rooting on the counter. I started making seasoned salt with my garlic and onion skins. Nature provides all we need. Be blessed.
For three years, I took antibiotics per the dermatologists instructions for rosacea pustules that erupted all over my face and were painful and left scarring. I look like I had a disease - I guess I did, but it wasn't contagious. Every time I tried to go off the meds, within two weeks my face would erupt into a mass of pustules that took literally months to heal. Back to the meds, but I kept praying for an answer. The meds were beginning to impact my hearing. I now live with chronic tinnitus (still looking for the answer for that one). During all this time, I began my journey to heal my gut by making my own raw milk yogurt, kefir and kombucha. I love kombucha! Once I began consuming it daily, my skin began to clear up, but I didn't yet make the correlation. Well, I ran out of antibiotics and I just made the decision to NOT go back to them. My face was clear at the time and stayed that way for three months! A first. Still didn't see the connection. Then I ran out of kombucha. My face began to erupt. Bought more kombucha, my face cleared without it taking months. WHAT?! I am a believer. Now to develop a taste for other fermented foods. Still working on it.
Kombucha is so easy to brew. There are Facebook groups that share kombucha scobys, kefir ‘grains’ (not really grain) & other ferment starters for all over the world for the cost of postage.
Check if you are lactose intolerant, just a friendly suggestion based on your symptoms. I would also advise you to go all organic (food) & vegan if possible, follow Dr.Berg on UA-cam for accurate information. Naturopathy is also best option to eradicate any types of infections from its root cause. ☮️🇮🇳🙏
Consider a raw vegan lifestyle for at least one month. Why not give it a try? There are many delicious recipes all over YT. Your body is trying to eliminate toxins that are built up in your body. Wishing you lots of luck ~
Stacy thank you for this video. Could you one on how you set up your sprouts in that sprouting container? I would love to learn how to sprout. Also could you provide information on where you got that dried ginger root?
Ok Dr Stacy, we love you even more now and we already practice 6 out of your 7 but you and Doug are the absolute inspirationists. Home made "Golden Milk" (no dairy) is another proven super concoction from Northern India that completely cured us of severe arthritis and put us back on the ski hills and ice rinks at 73.
You are a super good food hero Stacy 🙂 Very impressed with all your knowledge of what your body should have to be Healthy Daily!! Thanks for Sharing This with US 💖
Hi Stacy, no way you are 60? You look much younger I thought maybe 48, I’ve been watching you for a while. Your living off grid and eating so healthy. Away from our crazy traffic and people, stress. I love your home you and Doug have. I have watched your tour of your place.It’s so cozy and perfect. Thank you for another great learning video 💕
I've been doing the raw plant-based thing for about 2 and a half years now and the health benefits have been super incredible! It's like being a superhero...seriously
A fermenting cookbook??!!! Exciting!!! This is a great list of goodness! I have started trying to consume ferments everyday and I have noticed some changes in my skin and digestive system. I've been drinking chamomile tea with raw honey every night to help with my allergies for a year or two now. My biggest thing that I stress to my family is drinking water! I really feel that staying hydrated is a major key to good health!
I just started watching Dr Gundry on UA-cam, because of my autoimmune disease. Everything I have learned from watching you for years , is all the same things he talks about on his podcast, with all the science behind it. You are truly a treasure, this is what keeps me watching your channel. Because of you I grow my own produce and my own elderberries, and try to make my own clean products like tooth powder and lotion . I just want you to know how much this content you put out means to me thank you.
So glad you gave a timeline on the Fermenting Book in this video as I have been waiting to receive mine. I love all the simple but necessary advice on how to stay healthy in these times we are living in. I have to get busy getting these easy ideas into my daily routine to prevent illnesses that I can avoid, affordably.
for some reason this last year I have been really enjoying Basil! I have even planted some in a container for my apartment. Im excited to see what actually happens. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us, Stacy ☺
My super food that i just started eating is fermented sauerkraut. I've never had it before and I decided to make some. At first I didn't like it but i persisted and now I actually crave it!!!
I love sauerkraut, i have made this for 3 years now, i make a jar full Glass jar from dollar tree with lid, probably a 2 gallon I make it about every 3 to 4 months, Eat some everyday, grew up with it, my grampa used to make large barrels of it in his cellar...lol
@@travelswithdebbierandy slice a head of cabbage thinly about 2 in. Long also put in large glass mixing bowl ...do not use anything metal..key!! I use a plastic wash bucket, add 3 tbsp sea salt mix well let sit cool place or fridge for at leadt 2 hours, pac onto vlass jar with a burber or i use the rubber seal glass top... pound down with wooden spoon, fill almost to top, add the liguid grom bucket to covet the cabbage.. push down every day or i sometimes csn wait 2 days ...do this for 3 weeks taste..taste good? Har up in canning jars... if not tasty wait longer...lol you'll get it... i figured it out myself...oh.....important it needs to be in dark warm place...while working, then when jared it can go in cold room or fridge. Good luck
Great respect for you, Stacy. Needed info for these stressful times. I love each and everything you listed. Wish the rest of the family did. I try to add some of these every day to my meals. Thank you for doing this. I think it helps to explain why you and Doug have so much energy!
Stacey & Doug, you’re both an inspiration to all of us who are more mindful in knowing that we ate remembering what we grew up on in eating; good healthy food directly from the ground; our own backyard gardens, local farmer supplies & small neighborhood markets. You’re both an inspiration in this. And citing to newcomers to let food be thy medicine & medicine be thy food; “Hippocrates” is the most advantageous reminder in all. Thank you!🌺
I just ordered 2 tea infusers (for my husband and I so we can make our own tea). Can’t wait to try them out. Great info here. I also like to add oat straw to my tea. This year I plan to grow more lemon balm as well. Thanks again.
STACY you and Doug are absolutely wonderful I am so thankful and grateful to you for sharing all of your experience and knowledge. I’ve had to watch some of your videos over and over to really learn and keep it. I take lots and lots of notes and I thank you. I will order your fermenting cookbook soon. I am so excited that I found your videos so helpful and useful that I watch them all the time. God bless you both🙏
I look forward to all of your videos! Fermented garlic in a salad dressing is a great way to get 3 for 1 of your superfoods at once. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Thank you Staci for being so "healthy and wholesome". Do you realize how much the social indoctrination training has so called ''healthy'' content producers leaving out the simple fact of organic and real ''wholesomely raised" foods? It took several years but my ginger is finally producing large rich ginger.
I make my own yogurt now, & will never go back to store bought! I dehydrate my homegrown lemon balm, herbs, and greens to add to cooking and teas. I love your vlog channel and your cookbook, Stacy! I bought two so I could give one as a gift to pass on the knowledge. Keep making a difference! 😄❤️
If your separating the milk solids from butter to make gee? And you are making your own yourgurt There are still milk solids in the yourgurt? Or is it the milk fats?
@@sarahs7751 No, I tie them in bunches and hang them in the laundry area in my house. But, yes, I use an Excalibur dehydrator for other things, like homemade dried fruit/ veggies.
Hi, this is Inger from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧Off work at the moment with long Covid, scrolling through my phone and came across your advice, sensible, no frills, easy to follow- thankyou. One of my all time products to use is honey.I drink it in hot water, it can be used on burns , as a feeding face mask, added to fresh fruit, oats, smoothies, in biscuits and cakes etc.Teaspoon of honey throughout the day will ease a sore throat. There are so many flavours of honey, I tend to buy locally sourced honey when I'm travelling, they all taste so different.Lavendar honey is my favourite but I just feel so good after taking it.I also help the bee community by growing plants and flowers that my friends the bees love, just to help them along and show my thanks for all the hard work they do. Love what you are doing, best wishes, Inger Romantico
Hi Stacy, although I don't live off grid or on a Homestead, I'm a subscriber, and I enjoy your videos. I purchased the Chocolate Tea (Love It) and the tea infuser. Where can I find the dried Ginger Root, Lemon Balm and Nettle. Thanks, Ellen
Thank you, Stacy for sharing all of your healthy tips with all of us. As always you are truly a wealth of great information. My husband and I also love garlic, ginger, yogurt or kefir and elderberry. We're hoping to plant some elderberry bushes in our yard this spring. You and Doug have been such a consistent helpful resource and you always manage to have some fun in your videos, which make them enjoyable to watch. Good luck with all of your endeavors and thank you both again.
Thank you so much for sharing all this information Stacy! Planning for next year’s garden so all this information is helpful when choosing what to plant. You look absolutely amazing and are an inspiration to get back to natural living. As a 50 year old woman with various health issues I am excited to continue implementing what I learn and getting my health back! ❤
I just love your videos Stacy! You look amazing for sixty! You are so versed in all the healthy foods. You are, I am sure an inspiration to us all. I try to eat as you do most days a week but I have to do better though. Please more recipes for whole food plant based….😃😃 I am not a Sauerkraut lover but I will take a Tb or two each day.
Love all of these! Great ideas. I also add in water kefir and turmeric daily. We're moving to MO soon ourselves and your channel makes me really excited to be out there. Thank you!

Great information to share! I don't think a lot of people understand what it means to have a strong immune system these days... Avoiding virus/illness is a lot more than just washing hands or avoiding contact. It's about building internal health.

Just discovered your videos, love them. Will keep them. Great info. I am 60 and loving it. Had a baby girl at 47, healthy and smart she is now 14. Will teach her all this too. Thank you Stacy.
Wow that's an amazing feat congrats you must be super healthy glad it worked out well
Baby at 47😍😍😍😍
So encouraging 🙏💖
You had a baby at 47? Way to go. I’m 36 and going on baby 4, I still want another girl but I get concerned the older I get to have more. I don’t know if you have tips but Iv been intuitively been thinking I should make my daily tea of nettles and red raspberry so I’m glad to come upon this video for vitality. She’s so motivating wow and so are the comments in here, thanks for sharing
Wow!
Wow Baby at 47!! Yesssss 🌟🌟🌟🧡
Stacy, you look closer to being in your 40's. Maybe it is the wholesome lifestyle and staying active that keeps you young. Doug you are a blessed man.
I thought she was going to interview a 60 yr old!!! No way I thought she could be 60!! WOW.
@@braveheartlioness me too
Agree 👍
Would this comment be said if she were a man? I hate it when women’s health is always based on looking years younger. How about how healthy you are based on how a woman feels inside? So tired of everything with women being based on beauty standards.
@@CCCC-se3xi it depends what your definition of beauty is.
I would add homemade Kefir. So easy to make and keep the grains/curds going. Kefir has an old history and contains 35-50+ good bacterial flora for gut health. Yogurt has around 7. Thanks for a good presentation on keeping oneself healthy :)
Can you share your recipe?
Started growing, ginger, garlic, kale and lemon balm this year. I just started to ferment and always grow beets, and swiss chard, love the greens. Grew some broccoli rabe micro greens last week. I think ghee is the next thing to start.
Where do you get organic ginger to grow? Or do you use organic?
Best ways to grow it please.
Thank you!
@@marthachisnell3346 whole foods
@@taniathomas402 Thank you !
@@marthachisnell3346 Barry ginger and it will grow.
@@marthachisnell3346 you can grow ginger in containers or in the soil. When buying ginger to grow (most any grocery store will have it in the fresh veggie section, by the herbs),look for rhizomes (roots) that have ‘eyes’ - places where you can see the root is going to put out a bud. Each of those should produce a stalk/plant, when you plant these 1 -2” above the bottom of an oval or shallow, large bowl, with 3” or so of soil or potting mix on top of it. The more eyes or buds on the ginger you buy to plant, the more plants you’ll have.😀 I suggest doing an internet search for ‘how to grow ginger’, because the size and shape of the root(s) you buy, and how you put them in the planter, will determine if you get basically one central, tall plant, or many along the original root. Good luck!👍🙏
I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome and I am feeling devastated. I trust in the Lord for His power to be made perfect in my weakness, but I also greatly appreciate videos like yours that shed light on how certain foods can help bolster the immune system. I'm only 42 years old and I have a 4 year old and 6 year old, but with God's help, a loving family, and great advice from fellow Christians like you all, I know God's strength will be made perfect in my weakness. Thank you for inspiring me to take baby steps in growing some of our own food. My kids have loved eating all their tomatoes, peppers and strawberries this past year. I'm going to use my lemon balm daily now too!
Joanna I also have Sjogrens. Turmeric with a little black pepper also is great for inflammation. Cooking with herbs and spices has helped me alot. Oregano, Rosemary and basil. Blessings..
@Faith Foor Thank you so very much for the advice. I will try growing and using some of those herbs and try turmeric. God's blessings and mercy on you too with this condition.
Same here girl, prayers for you!
This is an amazing channel. Not to take you away and suggest another but look up Dr Brooke Goldner. She talks about greens like broccoli and cabbage as super foods that create dramatic cellular repair that reverses diseases like what you have, lupus, and so many others. I did her protocol for a short time and pain I had in my body has gone away.
Thank you, Stacy. This is going straight to my "saves" in preventative health. Excellent info for when we forget that God had us covered from the beginning.
Hi Stacy,
I try to eat all of these also every day. I eat spinach every day in my smoothie or with my fresh eggs. I put my organic garlic in a jar of honey and let it ferment. Its wonderful and the garlic infused honey is great for salad dressings. I eat all organic non processed foods. I agree with all the foods you talked about. I am trying to use ginger more. I think I will try it with the other herbs in teas. It just seem to upset my stomach when I put it straight in foods. I love blueberries and I grow my own veggies and most of my fruits. I have kale all year round in my garden and also freeze it and add to soups when I make my yummy soups. I have alot of inflammation in my joints from having covid, so I am trying to really eat a good diet that keeps my inflammation down. Thanks for all the tips on eating and living healthy! 💞🙋♀️🙏
Stacy could you please do a vid about the symptoms of your health before you went off grid? I’m sure people and us may be having them too but don’t know what to look for. We totally look at labels and try to do our very best to avoid chemicals. So happy you are doing the fermenting book.
I love elderberry syrup for immune help 🤩 I add cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, and of course, local honey. I'll add anything extra to it as needed like echinacea, mullein if lungs are really congested, rose hips for Vit C, Nettles, Lavender for a calming effect, or any other herbs I may feel like throwing in 🙂
We love to make tziki sauce at home by adding chopped garlic and cucumber to plain yogurt and we use it as a dip, on salads, and on meats or sandwiches. It's a great way to add raw garlic and yogurt to our daily meals.
I will have to try this. Good idea.
@@sisterinSC me too
Remember to add a little dill, plus salt and pepper are good as well. For anyone looking for a recipe, it’s spelled tzatziki, although we always eyeball and taste test the ingredients based on the size of the cucumber that we use.
If you know you’ll have leftovers, definitely squeeze the cucumber after it’s grated so you don’t end up with watery yogurt.
Doh forget di peppah gyul!
Just got my fresh farm eggs today..I love them..and the yolks are so yellow
Spectacular teaching! You need to be on the cover of AARP for Foods to Eat when your are 60 years young! You are a just beautiful representative for healthly living!
The cover of AMAC would be a better choice. They do not receive federal money, unlike AARP, and are pro America.

I needed this video. I just told my daughter I needed to start including things in my diet to build up my immune system. I had no idea what I needed to eat or drink. Now I do!!! Thank you so much!! This will help me a lot. I'll let you know moving forward how I'm starting to feel. I have high blood pressure and I do not like having to take a pill twice a day. I'm so grateful for all of this information. I will incorporate these super foods in my diet everyday from now on.
I will join you! I have higher blood pressure and have been taking a pill for it for several years...and would love to get off of it....maybe now I will be able to.
I’m in the same boat with y’all! Let’s do this!
@@littlehummingbird1015 - I’m no longer following this channel after ordering tons of stuff and not getting it. Plus, I followed several “recipes “ and it made my stomach very sick. Good luck to y’all. I’ve found magnesium, hawthorn berry, to work wonderfully for my bp. God bless.
@@Sabbathissaturday did you ever receive your order?
@@littlehummingbird1015 beets are good for blood pressure
Ginger is great in soups too. It works nicely with salmon, beef, pork, and chicken.
From down in central Louisiana, soon to be in northwest Arkansas I read that beet leaves and broccoli leaves are better for you than kale and for me easier on my tummy. Always love all your great advice. Watching you several years ago got me started on fermenting. Thank you so much. When we get to Arkansas we will be starting a homestead so loving all the information from you I can get. Shabbat Shalom (a few hours early).
Did you make it to NW AR ? Welcome new Neighbor !
Coffee is my "superfood", I get green beans, roast them (both Guatemalan and Ethiopian), grind them, and sweeten with a mix of erythritol, monkfruit, glycine, inulin, and inositol, and add a scoop of MCT powder to lighten, (and sometimes put in a scoop of collagen). It sounds complicated but it is delicious and VERY energizing.
Hi Stacey, we have been binge watching you guys all afternoon. Thanks for the great tips and advice. One thing that I try to eat every day is 1 to 2 Brazil Nuts a day, because I have been told, they have the highest concentration of selenium of any food. Also Pistachios have the highest concentration of melatonin. Great for a midnight snack. Have a great day!
Selenium and vitamin E work together
If only the world could have a million more Stacys! #pearlofagirl ❤️☺️😎
If only the world would listen to wise women.
Thank you Stacy😊 🌼 One of my favorite go to's when I'm not feeling good (I have Dercums Disease) is water with lemon or lime and a generous sprinkle of cayenne. I was afraid to try this a couple years ago until I just decided on it and it is an extremely refreshing tasting drink, cool, relaxing! And when I have a lot of inflammation, I drink fresh juiced pineapple juice or celery juice and the next day the inflammation is gone🧡😃
I love my lemon water with cayenne, and add fresh grated ginger, you can just cut down a thumb or 2 of ginger as well, I also add some powdered ginger, cinnamon, and a shake of turmeric with a sprinkle of black pepper to get the curcumin going. I top it off with some raw honey. Always 1 lemon. Both halfs juiced in. I dink this all day most days!
@@lisaperduk1893 yummy!
@torguga Lisa I"ll file that idea re the pineapple juice/celery juice, thanks for the reminder
If anyone has gut issues try making kefir water and drink everyday it really helps and fermented foods also
This was the video I needed to see! Some I already knew but as the saying goes, you learn something new every day! Stacy, I don't know how you remember all this but glad you do & are willing to share it with us...thank you so much! ❤

Probably one of your best condensed videos..plain n simple and Full of good health
I sauté Leeks, Collard greens, Kale and parsley with lots of Ghee and Garlic every morning and serve my two poached eggs on top. So delicious. Sometimes I add mushrooms to the sauté pan. No need for bread with those poached eggs then. Great info here and I try to do just as you do. Maybe I need more Lemon Balm though. Will grow some this summer.
Very cute home off grid. What a great life.
That sounds soooo good!!
That does sound good. I needed some breakfast ideas cuz I am low carb so this is perfect.
thanks for the recipe- sounds good, looking for healthy lunch and easy dinners❤
Sounds really good. I will add more of those to my breakfast
using my sons account to comment but I also learned that the best way to get all the benefits from the whole egg is to soft boil it for 3 minutes. there are videos how to do it. I eat an egg like this everyday. also you can slow fry it in tallow and reap the benefits of tallow. I concur with all you suggested. you are beautiful I turned 60 this year as well. hard to say that number. thx to you and Doug. keep the faith and pray always.:)
I dehydrate all my greens, powderize them and use them in EVERYTHING. On eggs, meat, soups, gravies, anything that you would put salt or pepper on! Luv it.
I have been doing this too. Love zucchini powder in with my scrambled eggs.
How do you dehydrate your veggies? Which rend of dehydrator?
@Mundus Inversus -don't need a dehydrator. slow low oven on a cookie sheet, outside on a spare screen in the summer, slice very thin, dry, crumble or crush. I dry sweet potato and backyard dandelion leaves,(otherwise lost to composting). I eat them, feed them to my dogs, rabbits, fish all winter.
Can tell us more?! What temp and typical time frame? Just wash, lay flat, until roasted? 🙂
Every item mentioned as follows....
1. Ginger root, lemon balm and stinging Nettle in teas.
2. Eggs
3. Fermented foods eg sauerkraut
4. Yogurt
5. Ghee
6. Garlic (raw in salads)
7. Cruciferous vegetables
8. Dark, leafy greens.
Namaste, sounds delicious!

My goodness i would have never thought you were 60 years good for you
Great video! I have a 25 year old blueberry bush. It makes so many berries and I add those to salads and smoothies, etc. I get enough berries from to the bush to share with friends. Also, I love to hear the bees every spring, buzzing around the bush, while they are pollinating the fruit. With the bees buzzing and the birds singing, it’s a great time. I also pet the bees, rubbing the fuzz on their backs! It’s so soft! I have you beat by two years Stacy, and I don’t take any medicines. Eating healthy is the way to go! And it’s delicious!
Thank you Stacy for caring & taking the time to share with everyone great healthy & yummy things to keeps us healthy & happy 😊
You're a blessed man Doug. Thanks for your channel y'all.
I just discovered you and your husband and absolutely love both of you! I cannot wait for your fermentation cookbook to come out. I just bought some mason top products through your link I cannot wait to start fermenting and sprouting. You are an inspiration, thank you.
Also turmeric for ant-inflamatory (it's super powerful for that), cayenne pepper (hotter the better, but taken in capsule form) for the cardio-vasular system, apple cider vinegar to balance the body's acidity, help reduce inflamation, and promote good gut health, and lemmon juice for a myriad of benefits.
Albert Head- you are sooo right about the turmeric! I know because when I had heavy metal poisoning my nutritionist had me on turmeric gel caps for the inflammation I had. Boy did that stuff work!!! Its a great one for inflammation folks.
Can you please give me recipe for saurcraut
Thanks
Fermenting covers ACV.
Always take turmeric with a little black pepper - it enhances the effects.
I’d grow lemon balm in a pot, it’s crazy and will take over a whole garden box, we only have three, so it’s too much for us. It’s even now growing in my lawn about 20 feet away from where it was planted. Tonight I added it to some roasted vegetables, along with rosemary thyme, and sage. We had it with roasted sweet potato, and chicken. It was very nice.❤️ I’m always looking for new things to do with herbs. Thank you so much for your wisdom Stacy, I’m 60 too!
Stacy's cooking and homeopathic recipes is what brought me to this channel. Stacy FTW.

Stacy, thank you for enlightening me on the 7 foods that I need to boost my immune system 💋
Hi 👋dear, how are you doing?
Thank you Stacy! Brilliant choices indeed. I love each and every one of your choices. I just started using Ghee, and love it. I used to use EVOO, forever. Then one day I spoke to my cousin who happens to be a very knowledgeable man, a world traveler and he shared with me that I must be careful buying Olive Oil from Italy because most often you are not getting pure Olive Oil. He has made many trips to Italy and learned that it's very rare to get pure Italian Olive Oil. Greek Olive Oil or Olive Oil from Spain is best. I found it to be very expensive and hence, I did some reading on Ghee as a healthful alternative. I absolutely love it and it's more affordable as well....so thank you for confirming that I'm doing the best for my health. I thank God every day because I am healthy, and I try to use wisdom and discernment when choosing what I should eat and drink. Just letting you know how much we appreciate all your hard work!
I eat homemade yogurt with berries every morning. Half gallon of grass fed milk is less than $5, and it yields half gallon of fresh yogurt easily made in a crock pot. Love your videos!
I don't know where you live but organic food including organic milk is not cheap in Canada.
May you please give us your yogurt recipe for crock pot?
Thank you Dimitria
@@cheylou1 I live in New Jersey. I purchase Organic Valley organic grass fed whole milk at the grocery store for $4.79 for a half gallon.
@@dimitrialiberty2779 recipe for yogurt: pour one half gallon of organic grass fed milk such as Organic Valley brand into a crock pot. Cover and turn on lowest heat setting. Set a timer for 2 hours and 45 minutes. When timer rings, turn off the crock pot and reset the timer for 3 hours. Keep cover on . After 3 hours, remove cover and add half a cup of plain organic yogurt, but first put the yogurt in a bowl and add some of the heated milk to the bowl and stir before adding it to the crockpot. This will temper the yogurt so that it is not too cold to shock the warm milk. Stir all the tempered yogurt into the crockpot milk and cover again. Wrap the crockpot with 2 large towels to insulate it and leave it in warm place overnight. In the morning, you will have a half gallon of fresh yogurt to put into containers in the refrigerator. This makes a creamy yogurt that is not thick like store bought, but is free of gelatins or thickeners and high in probiotics. Enjoy!
Thank you- I will try-How long will it stay fresh in the refrigerator? do we stir the milk after the 2.5 hours?
Watched this on our old computer and learned so much ! Thank you Stacy! Love your passion for better heath! God bless you for sharing!

Hey Stacy, I love all these as great health staples too, and I'll be hitting 60 in August, yet am as healthy as I was as a young adult in my 20s! Three yrs ago, I overcame metabolic syndrome, inflammation, gut issues and overweight with healthy keto and intermittent fasting.
I hope you do a youtube on your journey.
Intermittent fasting is highly underrated!
put on a video many may be inspired!
I use nearly all of these and I’m 60 also, I shall be getting your cookbook on fermenting 🙌❤️🙏
Wow, this was super informative. I didn’t know about the lemon balm and nettle. I will definitely add this to my tea repertoire. Thank you Stacy. I couldn’t help but notice, I see your sweet potatoes rooting on the counter.

For three years, I took antibiotics per the dermatologists instructions for rosacea pustules that erupted all over my face and were painful and left scarring. I look like I had a disease - I guess I did, but it wasn't contagious. Every time I tried to go off the meds, within two weeks my face would erupt into a mass of pustules that took literally months to heal. Back to the meds, but I kept praying for an answer. The meds were beginning to impact my hearing. I now live with chronic tinnitus (still looking for the answer for that one). During all this time, I began my journey to heal my gut by making my own raw milk yogurt, kefir and kombucha. I love kombucha! Once I began consuming it daily, my skin began to clear up, but I didn't yet make the correlation. Well, I ran out of antibiotics and I just made the decision to NOT go back to them. My face was clear at the time and stayed that way for three months! A first. Still didn't see the connection. Then I ran out of kombucha. My face began to erupt. Bought more kombucha, my face cleared without it taking months. WHAT?! I am a believer. Now to develop a taste for other fermented foods. Still working on it.
Kombucha is so easy to brew. There are Facebook groups that share kombucha scobys, kefir ‘grains’ (not really grain) & other ferment starters for all over the world for the cost of postage.
Check if you are lactose intolerant, just a friendly suggestion based on your symptoms. I would also advise you to go all organic (food) & vegan if possible, follow Dr.Berg on UA-cam for accurate information.

Hi Stacy, no way you are 60? You look much younger I thought maybe 48, I’ve been watching you for a while. Your living off grid and eating so healthy. Away from our crazy traffic and people, stress. I love your home you and Doug have. I have watched your tour of your place.It’s so cozy and perfect. Thank you for another great learning video 💕
I've been doing the raw plant-based thing for about 2 and a half years now and the health benefits have been super incredible! It's like being a superhero...seriously
Start, thank you for your video. Very helpful. Question: where do you get dry ginger? I have a powder, but yours is not powder. Thank you in advance.
Lemon - although it can easily be added to tea or even as a dressing over salad (with the garlic) or just in drinking water.
Hi Stacy you and Doug have made a lot of fine videos. This one is definitely one of my all-time favorites!!
A fermenting cookbook??!!! Exciting!!! This is a great list of goodness! I have started trying to consume ferments everyday and I have noticed some changes in my skin and digestive system. I've been drinking chamomile tea with raw honey every night to help with my allergies for a year or two now. My biggest thing that I stress to my family is drinking water! I really feel that staying hydrated is a major key to good health!
I just started watching Dr Gundry on UA-cam, because of my autoimmune disease. Everything I have learned from watching you for years , is all the same things he talks about on his podcast, with all the science behind it. You are truly a treasure, this is what keeps me watching your channel. Because of you I grow my own produce and my own elderberries, and try to make my own clean products like tooth powder and lotion . I just want you to know how much this content you put out means to me thank you.
So glad you gave a timeline on the Fermenting Book in this video as I have been waiting to receive mine. I love all the simple but necessary advice on how to stay healthy in these times we are living in. I have to get busy getting these easy ideas into my daily routine to prevent illnesses that I can avoid, affordably.
Doug and Stacy are simply the best. Blessings
Just discovered you Stacey and I’m loving what you have to teach us. You look great btw xx

My super food that i just started eating is fermented sauerkraut. I've never had it before and I decided to make some. At first I didn't like it but i persisted and now I actually crave it!!!
I love sauerkraut, i have made this for 3 years now, i make a jar full
Glass jar from dollar tree with lid, probably a 2 gallon
I make it about every 3 to 4 months,
Eat some everyday, grew up with it, my grampa used to make large barrels of it in his cellar...lol
Kimchi is my favorite although I do love sauerkraut as well.
Here in the USA, fermented foods require acquiring a taste for them. It's not a taste we are accustomed to.

Thank you for doing this. I think it helps to explain why you and Doug have so much energy!
Stacey & Doug, you’re both an inspiration to all of us who are more mindful in knowing that we ate remembering what we grew up on in eating; good healthy food directly from the ground; our own backyard gardens, local farmer supplies & small neighborhood markets. You’re both an inspiration in this. And citing to newcomers to let food be thy medicine & medicine be thy food; “Hippocrates” is the most advantageous reminder in all. Thank you!🌺
I just ordered 2 tea infusers (for my husband and I so we can make our own tea). Can’t wait to try them out. Great info here. I also like to add oat straw to my tea. This year I plan to grow more lemon balm as well. Thanks again.
STACY you and Doug are absolutely wonderful I am so thankful and grateful to you for sharing all of your experience and knowledge. I’ve had to watch some of your videos over and over to really learn and keep it. I take lots and lots of notes and I thank you. I will order your fermenting cookbook soon.
I am so excited that I found your videos so helpful and useful that I watch them all the time.

It's hard to believe you're 60 !
Thanks for sharing the foods you eat!
Thank you Staci for being so "healthy and wholesome". Do you realize how much the social indoctrination training has so called ''healthy'' content producers leaving out the simple fact of organic and real ''wholesomely raised" foods? It took several years but my ginger is finally producing large rich ginger.
What's your secret? I think I need to grow some ginger too! 😁
Your taking excellent care of yourself. Congratulations. Your doing a great job.
I make my own yogurt now, & will never go back to store bought! I dehydrate my homegrown lemon balm, herbs, and greens to add to cooking and teas. I love your vlog channel and your cookbook, Stacy! I bought two so I could give one as a gift to pass on the knowledge. Keep making a difference! 😄❤️

There are still milk solids in the yourgurt?
Or is it the milk fats?
@@sarahs7751 No, I tie them in bunches and hang them in the laundry area in my house. But, yes, I use an Excalibur dehydrator for other things, like homemade dried fruit/ veggies.

Thank you!! I definitely need to incorporate some of these
I absolutely LOVE these videos! Stacy, you are a wealth of information and I appreciate it so much! Can't wait to get your cookbook!
Hi, this is Inger from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧Off work at the moment with long Covid, scrolling through my phone and came across your advice, sensible, no frills, easy to follow- thankyou. One of my all time products to use is honey.I drink it in hot water, it can be used on burns , as a feeding face mask, added to fresh fruit, oats, smoothies, in biscuits and cakes etc.Teaspoon of honey throughout the day will ease a sore throat. There are so many flavours of honey, I tend to buy locally sourced honey when I'm travelling, they all taste so different.Lavendar honey is my favourite but I just feel so good after taking it.I also help the bee community by growing plants and flowers that my friends the bees love, just to help them along and show my thanks for all the hard work they do. Love what you are doing, best wishes, Inger Romantico
Hi Stacy, although I don't live off grid or on a Homestead, I'm a subscriber, and I enjoy your videos. I purchased the Chocolate Tea (Love It) and the tea infuser. Where can I find the dried Ginger Root, Lemon Balm and Nettle. Thanks, Ellen
Try a local organic grocer
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY Thank You!
My go to for health is listening to all the information from you. Thanks
Thank you, Stacy for sharing all of your healthy tips with all of us. As always you are truly a wealth of great information. My husband and I also love garlic, ginger, yogurt or kefir and elderberry. We're hoping to plant some elderberry bushes in our yard this spring. You and Doug have been such a consistent helpful resource and you always manage to have some fun in your videos, which make them enjoyable to watch. Good luck with all of your endeavors and thank you both again.
Thank you so much for sharing all this information Stacy! Planning for next year’s garden so all this information is helpful when choosing what to plant. You look absolutely amazing and are an inspiration to get back to natural living. As a 50 year old woman with various health issues I am excited to continue implementing what I learn and getting my health back! ❤
I just love your videos Stacy! You look amazing for sixty! You are so versed in all the healthy foods. You are, I am sure an inspiration to us all. I try to eat as you do most days a week but I have to do better though. Please more recipes for whole food plant based….😃😃 I am not a Sauerkraut lover but I will take a Tb or two each day.
I'm glad I found you on You Tube! I love you!
Love all of these! Great ideas. I also add in water kefir and turmeric daily. We're moving to MO soon ourselves and your channel makes me really excited to be out there. Thank you!
