I agree 100%! I have mold toxicity, Lyme disease, parasite overgrowth, Candida overgrowth, and Hashimoto's disease. We traced back my illnesses to the fact I was conceived and grew up in a home that had toxic black mold we didn't know about. It wreaks so much havoc on your health-more than anyone can imagine.
Yes I think this is also a big reason why a house is on the market. I will be so paranoid when I buy a house. Definitely check all the corners and basement for any discoloration or even paint jobs to hide discoloration. Recent paint jobs are a red flag.
I cannot get over how happy she looks all the time now. she’s just glowing! also all the goofiness i think we are seeing more than ever bc she feels free to be totally herself. it is so beautiful to see ❤
Yes I just commented the same thing maybe he needs to watch more of her videos lol they look so happy together love her and the fact that she found love and happiness is amazing so happy for her 💕❤️🎉🌸
When did this sickness start? If It started the time when you moved into this new house you should hire someone to check for mold and asbestos. I watch a youtuber named Mia Maples who got very sick who had to go to doctors and get steriods and she finally figured out it was something in her house that was causing her symptoms
Im really happy for you Alana☺️ just remember to protect yourself no matter how comfortable you feel with a person. It always takes a while for humans to show their true authentic selves. Be cautious of love bombing and smooth-talking❤
Agreed! Stats show that it’s usually after 2 years so 6 months is VERY quick to be married but they look very happy. I hope it stays that way, she deserves it ❤
@@sarahgeeox yes! I moved in with my boyfriend after 6 months and we’re amazing (been together 4 years), so sometimes it works out. But since they’re christians I hope she waits to have kids so she doesnt get trapped.
This is so cringe. They are married and are thinking about making a family. Tim reads the comments so just saying this comment comes off as parasocial and rude asf. Keep your unsolicited negative advice to yourself, no one asked. Just be happy for them that they trust and love each other, Jesus H Christ. So odd
@@Bleherr They are married and I am sure they will be happy for the rest of their live but I don’t think it’s wrong to tell someone to protect themselves especially a young woman. It takes a while to get to know someone even after marriage. I think you took it very harshly. I rather someone give me advice then be a yes man.
I needed to hear this today 😢 I’ve had a really unhealthy relationship with food recently. Someone told me recently, if we are willing to invest in insurance to protect your home, cars, pets, why not protect the most valuable thing, your life. 😢 We owe it to ourselves Alana! 💕
Girrrl it could be mold or asbestos in the new house!!! You have to check it out bc it is serious. Also, I think it is great you are reflecting about diet etc. I live in Sweden and Ive eaten at McDonalds maybe like 4-5 times this year and there is less sugar in European products compared to US. Be careful❤
Hi Alana! I just quit drinking, and its my 5th-6th day and I am also struggling with withdrawal symptoms and its really hard. Some things that have helped me are: -Going on 2 mile walk/run while listening to music -Watching youtube videos of coaches telling you steps on how to quit something/how to safely go through a withdrawal process -JOURNAL THE PROGRESS: Journal every day and gather evidence that will prove to you that your making the right decision. (This one has helped me the most). Write down all the good you feel and all the bad to get it out. -Alone time listening to music and praying and taking deep breaths, lavender oil, fresh air flow to the room, comfy blanket Hope you get through this girl, Im right there with you! ❤️
I don’t normally watch vlogs, but I love watching yours! It’s always so entertaining & I love seeing y’all be yourselves. I wanted to add that you are what you eat, & that’s why it’s SO good to get “live foods,” fruits, veggies, etc. I started exercising more about 6 weeks ago (lifting) & I have noticed such a difference in my mental & physical health. I feel happier, less anxious, I have more energy, & I just feel overall better.I think if you choose healthier foods & move your body more you will notice a huge difference in how you feel! I hope this encourages you 💗
As someone with a 4 month old if you’re serious about having a family one of the best things you can do to prepare is getting your nutrition in check! Pregnancy is so depleting on the nutrition stores of the pregnant person and you will really set up your future baby and self as much as possible for success by having your nutrition in check for a good 6 months before trying to conceive. Get those fruits, veggies, omega 3s, and vitamin d in!
I was the same way when I would get sick and with my throat. I’m 27 and got my tonsils out this past April and it has been a GAME CHANGER!! I haven’t gotten sick at all since then!! And if my throat hurts some it goes away in a day on it’s own now!
Alana, I have watched your videos for years and you have been sick on and off frequently, if I recall. Here is my best advice (I am in my last year of medical school in the US) and coming from someone who used to be frequently sick: - sugar and processed foods feed bad gut bacteria and 70% of our immune system lies in the gut - more than 90% of our serotonin is produced by gut bacteria and gut signaling - a variety of fruits and vegetables provide a lot of nutrition (focus on ones with color and limit high-sugar fruits) - you're right: no one diet works for everyone. Please avoid carnivore and keto (high fat, high protein) and juice cleanses - they are linked to organ damage - best advice is to keep a food journal and allow 7-10 days before deciding a food group does or doesn't work for you - most common food groups that increase inflammation in descending order: processed sugar, dairy, soy (and other legumes), gluten, corn, high fat foods - best place to start :) Best of luck on your journey, love your videos and congratulations on your marriage and new home!
Alana it would be fun to see a chit chat get ready with me where you talk about marriage, the house, starting a family all while showing your newest beauty routines cuz you are radiant and your hair is just gorgeous
Girl you go. Watching you become a HOMEMAKER is amazing. I love the changes The Lord has made in your life. You’ve never been so beautiful 💕 My nephew is 32 completely blind from diabetes he’s on a transplant list for a kidney and pancreas. Please pray we get our donor.
😘 hahaha! I’m so sorry you’ve been having the headaches and getting sick frequently, but I bet you will notice those issues really start to subside once you’ve been McDonald’s-free for a good while!! And you’re definitely smart to have made a decision to take your health and your predispositions to stroke and diabetes seriously, and act accordingly! I’ve had many “awakenings” in my own life when I’ve neglected to take care of myself in one way or another, and it’s never too early start being health-conscious! I’m so happy to see you doing well and all moved in and settled!!! Must feel great after all that work!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re my favorite UA-camr these days. ❤ I am glad you’re making changes for your health. Keep exercising and eat the food God made, not food products and food chemicals made by man. ❤ I wish you all the best.
This! I switched to eating meat, vegetables, and fruits mainly. I eat cheese and nuts/seeds as snacks occasionally and jerky here and there. I felt a huge change within a week and no longer crave the processed stuff. No longer bloated, I sleep amazing, and my mental health is so much better! If I do ever want bread or pasta, I make it myself and it doesn’t affect me like store bought.
For what it’s worth, I’m a holistic practitioner. Yes, diet is huge (and everyone can agree that McDonald’s isn’t healthy), but you should also look at your environment. You’ve been doing a lot of renovations and should be extra cautious with what you’re inhaling/absorbing. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have the MTHFR gene mutation as well, which makes it harder to detox (and is linked to blood clots). Oh, and Mediterranean diet is widely accepted as one of the healthiest diets!
Im 28 years old and going through similar health issues that I’ve been suspecting could be pre-diabetes. I’m not overweight or anything but my diet isn’t healthy and I eat and drink way too much sugary stuff with almost no vegetables and little water. I’m really struggling to consistently eat better even though I’m sure it would make me feel so much better. I’d love to see some follow up videos on your journey through this!
The spirit of God lives within you and treating your temple as a holy one is great progress! It’s hard to change but we see the consequences of our past habits and if we go back, we know what that entails. Looking forward to the future and pushing past urges will make you feel so powerful and in control over the body God gave you. It’s a great feeling!
I was always getting sick and staying stick for a long time. Realized it was because of my tonsils. Once I got them removed, everything was great. I only get sick once a year now. The recovery was awful, but it was worth it!
Dumb advice. Your tonsils are acleaning organ and is like your immune system.God pit it there for a reason. Adress your bad diet and you will resolve your problems. Your tonsils were warning you. Listen to your body's organs. They have wisdom.
So happy for your new life you’ve created for yourself Alana! I’ll be praying for happiness for both of you and good health on your new eating journey 🙏💗 love these videos!
My hubby and I are currently getting ready to move to a new house out of state, and I can't help but wonder what the new owners will do with our house. The previous owners of your new house are lucky in that because you vlog, they can now follow your YT vids and see what you do to the house they once lived in, just as when I post what we will do to OUR new house, the previous owners can see what WE will do to the house. I'd absolutely LOVE to see what the new owners of our house will do to the house we bought new from construction all those years ago. Thank you for posting this; it has helped me deal with leaving our home and starting a new chapter.
😘 Yay for you Alana 🎉 I know you will get better for sure... I trust that ❤️❤️💋❤️ if you turned religious now, and I thought that was the hardest step.... this will be a piece of cake 😉
Pregnancy is it’s own magical unicorn btw, so you could have a normal low risk pregnancy. I come from a family where no one has any major health problems and everyone has all had low risk pregnancies. I was in extremely good health before I got pregnant and I had healthy balanced diet and I lifted weights every other day. I ended up with preclampsia and had to deliver early at 36 weeks. I spent the whole month of November in the hospital due to high blood pressure. After I had my baby I ended up getting sepsis which is also extremely rare for vaginal deliveries with only 1-3% occurrences. I also went into acute respiratory failure which was very scary. But in the end I was very lucky to be alive and not have any major issues afterwards. So you can go from having no health problems to having life threatening complications or you have potential risk factors beforehand and have a low risk and easy pregnancy.
If you are predisposed to blood clots/strokes, you can take fish oil. It acts as a very mild blood thinner which helps prevent the clots from forming. Vitamin E also acts as a very mild blood thinner. Some people who have this predisposition take low dose aspirin as a mild blood thinner daily, however that carries side effects and risks and should only be done in certain cases when prescribed by a Dr.
Dear Alana and anyone who needs encouragement, I personally got delivered from an addiction to an unhealthy habit and which I leaned upon to feel good. Anyone who struggles with fighting a habit or addiction, I urge you to bring it to the Lord, I used to struggle when I tried to stop my addiction and fighting temptation on my own was hard, but then I started praying everytime I felt tempted and here I am....I think 2 years or so FREE from that addiction and any temptation to do it. EVERYTIME you feel temptation ask the Lord for strength to fight it and then distract yourself from thinking about it as much as you can, it will be hard and unpleasant in the beginning and you may fail some times (I did), but don't give up for: “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13) and “Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7) I hope this may help someone🙏 and Alana, I'd like to see your health journey 😘😂
Awww you being all silly around Tim in the beginning was so sweet! I love how you can be your authentic self wtih him all the time! It's beautiful!💙 Also Alana I've gotta say I think it's wonderful how economical you are even though I'm sure you have a good amount of $. You still try to save $ when you can by doing repairs yourself/with family and same with moving costs! It's so refreshing to see someone well off doing something like that because it's SUCH a better use of money than throwing it away every chance you get like a lot of people do! Your fiancial smartness is such a good inspiration to your viewers too. I've always been good with $ but I know a lot of people haven't so I'm sure seeing your choices helps them think more about decisions. 💙
yess food industry is crazy, so many conflicting claims on both sides. what i started doing is just reading scientific studies' papers directly and critically accessing them&their methodologies to make decision for my nutrition. its time consuming but well, it is really important especially if you wanna start a family someday, and want to be healthiest possible for their health (and grandchildrens'!) and so you can stay by their side for longer. God bless you! :) btw i love your content soo much recently its so raw, genuine and peaceful, thanks
On my mom's side there's predispoditions of autoimune diseases and breast cancer, on my dad's side diabetes, kidney stones and high blood preasure. When my cousin got cancer at his teen years I freaked out because I always thought it doesn't happen to healthy young kids. Then when covid hit, it's like the virus pushed all the bad stuff to the surface - I got kidney sand and my lymph nodes went crazy because of the hormone disbalance- I was scared it was 🦀cause my grandma was diagnosed with it after she had the same thing happen to her the same year. I healed from both but they both would come and go untill I started eating healthier. I am telling you the diet is 80 % of it. Antiflamatory vegetables and fruits, fish, fermented food, greens full of antioxidants..ehinacea and various teas /shakes for your imune system.. those bad things never came back( thank God). I have to say I thought it was going to be hard for me to give up coffee, dairy , some meat and sugar, but once you realize that you yourself are causing these health problems with your diet - you know you have to stick to the healthy eating and you want to maintain it. Nobody can make your body healthy for you💖
I think working out and getting on a good schedule with just that would help alot plus the last couple of months you have been going through so much not sleeping as good busy busy so that might be taking a toll on your body as well. And try to limit the mcdonalds to like once a week or you and Tim could do a healthy at home mcdonalds and try to remake them with your own style. Bless you guys and hope you feel better soon 😘😘
So sorry for your constant illness. Prayer for you to be able to change your diet and heal your body. I gave up McDonalds years ago and gluten due to gluten intolerance, my body was constantly attacking itself and showing me in chronic hives. I believe due to gut issues by my poor diet. I stay away from soy of any kind and as much gluten as I can possibly. Look into healing your gut and for possible leaky gut syndrome. It’s really hard but you can overcome it. ❤ love your new home and wishing you all the best!
So sorry that you're sick. I was vegetarian for 3 years and then went went vegan which I have been since 2020. I'm rarely sick and feel I have a lot of energy the entire day 💚
I hope you feel better soon. I kinda feel like your case is a little similar to Mia Maples one (she got sick when she moved to a new house), so check for mold, maybe there's the solution.
Hi, Alana! As diabetes is an autoimmune disease, I would suggest you to check out your antibody levels. Conventional medicine may not necessarily recommend this as a preventitive measure, but tracking that number is crucial when it comes to autoimmune diseases. This will let you know if you already have some processes happening in your body that will eventually lead to diabetes without the lifestyle interventions. And changing the lifestyle to change the direction of your condition and feel better/be healthier overall is one of the main principles of functional medicine. If you already have high antibodies and your body is attacking itself, that might also be one of the reasons you get sick easily and take long time to get better. This is the case for me for example, as I have an autoimmune thyroid condition, my body is so busy fighting itself that any extra invaders get less attention from the immune system than they need. Remember, prevention is ALWAYS SO MUCH BETTER that the treatment and aftermath later on. You are already on the right track as diet is the first and best place to start. Wish you the best on your journey as you create a true connection not only with your mind and soul, but with your body as well!
I agree with the comment about checking the house! But I really appreciate you opening up about this because I used to struggle with the same thing (fast food/overindulging in not so healthy foods) - It isn't easy to break habits, and this motivated me to keep trying to completely cut out alcohol. I relate to your point about how if you mess up, you feel guilty and you know it's making you sick. I hope you begin to feel better and congratulations on your new home 💛
Hey lady! First of all congratulations on everything!!! 🙌🙌 keep on making those positive changes and you'll feel so much better once your body isn't fighting those inflammatory foods! Denying the flesh makes the spirit stronger! ❤ I have a few reccomendations that may help if you wanna give it a go or just keep in the back of your mind! long days on your feet and traveling, compression socks may help, just chat about it with your doctor and see if that's something you can do for preventing blood clots. Also cayenne pepper can really help thin your blood the same way asprin would, i mix a teaspoon in water with honey...I know its hard to take but way easier on your liver if it's something you'd need daily 😊 Also don't sweat the blood sugar being a little bit higher. If you were pre diabetic I think you'd have seen that number being closer to 200 and depending on the last time you ate or drank anything, it varies greatly. My dad is type 1. As always best of luck on your journey! Love your videos! Prayers for great health!
Hello my love! As someone who deals with PCOS + used to struggle with insulin resistance/hormonal acne, the diet that I fall back on each and every time is a whole foods diet prioritizing organic/local meat and produce. I was vegan for 8 years and wound up with a whole bunch of health issues due to my reliance on processed sources of protein (i.e. fake meats and dairy products). I still personally try to avoid dairy because I’m lactose intolerant, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with having it (as long as you can try to make sure it’s organic and antibiotic-free). I personally also stay away from faster-digesting carbs because of my tendency to have issues with blood sugar. This diet, which is primarily focused on high quality protein, healthy fat, and fiber from in-season vegetables has put my PCOS into full remission. Plus - I only get sick like ONCE a year, if that! Our bodies are really not meant to consume processed foods at the rate at which its advertised to us on a daily basis. Stick to what has as few ingredients/preservatives as possible, and you may end up feeling a whole lot better sooner than you think. I hope you recover soon, Alana! We are all rooting for you. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello, how do you react to raw diry? I'm an ex vegan as well, now on animal-based diet, and I also have lactose intolarence but I can drink about a glass of raw milk a day without any issues!
Pray that God also changes your appetite too! Also important that you treat it like a fast and once you crave it to pray when it happens. Praying for you
I think everyone responds best to different diets- it might have a lot to do with ancestry. After trying lots of different diets I’ve found I feel my best and have the best digestion when I’m eating mostly pescatarian low sugar low processed foods. I have finnish/scandanavian ancestry so I wonder if my ancestors also ate that kind if diet and that’s why it works best for me. It’s a lot of trial and error but cutting out fast/processed food is definitely a great place to start!
😘😘😘😘😂😂😂 loving these videos!!! I would love to see a timeline video of your relationship from start to now cos I’m sooo invested and absolutely love you together!! Alana, you seem so much more authentic with yourself and you are actually an inspiration to me for your aesthetic and minimalistic approach. Lots of love from me in the UK. ❤
I can’t wait to see how your new house comes along! It’s already looking so cute! Also, I’m excited to follow along on your health journey! I’m on a similar path and totally understand what you’re going through. Can’t wait for more videos ❤❤❤
Alana if you’re getting sick often and for really long, I’d really encourage finding an immunologist in your area. While it’s rare, you potentially could have a primary immunodeficiency which would be found by testing your immunoglobulin levels and antibody titers. At the very least it will give you information on the state of your immune system over all!
This video (montage) is AMAZING! Speechless. Such good energy and good videography. Love the music in the background; soooothing! Don’t get that from many youtube videos anymore. Anyways: Video. is. amazing. 💚
14:26 also, very very important: don't eat snacks throughout the day, eat only three meals, so that your insulin has time to drop properly. if you keep eating your insulin absorbtion decreases because insulin is always on a high, therefore causing diabetes
Organic beet root powder drinks and raw blended beet smoothies daily will help a lot of the issues you mentioned, do a little research into it, you will be amazed!! And get organic extra virgin olive oil into your diet as often as you can.
Alana on a much lighter note, when you lifted your arms, my eyes bulged out of their sockets thinking it was your armpit hair. Nope just your regular beautiful hair and me needing my eyes checked out
😘😂 I pray you get well. Your journey is really inspiring, and I love that you hold yourself accountable and try change your lifestyle for the better. Sending lots of love ❤❤❤❤
Mach is pronounced correctly :) It’s the German word for doing or working 🙈 for you blood: you can inform yourself about the differences between healthy and non healthy cholersterol & healthy and non healthy oils ☺️ I heard blood sugar is a also trainable (not in the stage of diabetes, then ist to late) there are foods helping to regulate blood sugar Reaktion like cinnamon.
I love the house you chose, may many good memories be made there. I relate to your struggle, have you tried compression socks to wear around the house sometimes? 😘
I’m so happy for you guys!! Also Tim’s filming and editing skills are phenomenal; the order that you guys showed everything and bounced around between different scenes and little snippet clips and just everything was just *chef kiss* Also just curious what happened to your dalmatian. Did you rehome him?
I'm so happy you're living the life of your dreams! About the health stuff, I'm so proud of you for making the decision to quit fast food. Food has the biggest impact on our immune systems. Have the Dr's checked your iron and vitamin D levels? If not, I would ask for that. After I started taking liquid Vit D3 + K2 and got prescribed iron for my anemia completely stopped getting tonsillitis. I had tonsillitis 8 times in 2020. It was 8 times in less than a year. I was getting it once a month, I was so desperate I wanted to cut my tonsils out. But then I talked to a Dr who tested my blood and got me on these things, and I've NEVER once had it since.
Alana the last clip killed me you are SO CUTE! 😂😂😂🤍 I pray for you to be able to resist McDonalds. I noticed that you mentioned it in the last 2 or 3 videos pretty often and i was already like.. oh i hope it‘s not an every other day thing. Because this high processed food is really bad. But i know that your body will forgive you and eating it once or twice is not going to hurt you. But try to make it less attractive to you so it gets easier to resist it! I always suffer from abdominal pain after eating there and i also get diarrhea all the time (sorry for this not so nice detail 😅). You have your husband, your dogs, your family and god and all of them love you and will take care of you. I believe in you and hope for you to get better soon! And I am really excited for your next video already 😌🤍
Older cute houses definitely have higher cases of mold and/or asbestosis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your last video right after visiting houses, your throat really hurt, and you got strep. I immediately thought.. mold exposure. Hope that's not the case, but definitely check yours! That's a big cause for the symptoms you're struggling with. Praying for you.
or looking into the weston a price way of eating might also be helpful :) there’s is a lot of „junk food“ where if you make it yourself with healthy ingredients it’s actually healthy for you
I’ve been looking into parasites lately. It’s interesting that most other countries do parasite treatments at least once a year. Even the Amish treat themselves.
What font did you use for the yellow font in the video? Btw I‘m so happy to see you happy and glowing being in a better place with your relationships, house, and so on🩷
Junk food ages you & makes you feel lethargic. You will look & feel younger with the food God designed & created for your body. Let God & his food be thy medicine 😘🕊
I pray an instant healing for you Alana. I watch healing videos online & today felt better. God has healed me of other chronic ailments before. Keep pressing in. God bless you, Tim & loves ones. 🕊
If you've been getting sick in your new house, and not getting better, check for mold and/or asbestosis
Hope you feel better soon! ❤
Yes!! I hope she sees this
I agree 100%! I have mold toxicity, Lyme disease, parasite overgrowth, Candida overgrowth, and Hashimoto's disease. We traced back my illnesses to the fact I was conceived and grew up in a home that had toxic black mold we didn't know about. It wreaks so much havoc on your health-more than anyone can imagine.
Yes I think this is also a big reason why a house is on the market. I will be so paranoid when I buy a house. Definitely check all the corners and basement for any discoloration or even paint jobs to hide discoloration. Recent paint jobs are a red flag.
Yes Mia Maples on youtube just went through this. She had mold in her house and she became allergic to everything
I cannot get over how happy she looks all the time now. she’s just glowing! also all the goofiness i think we are seeing more than ever bc she feels free to be totally herself. it is so beautiful to see ❤
yesssss! It's so wonderful!!!
“This is the Alana you don’t get to see”
No we’ve seen her. She’s why we’ve all been here a long time, boy ❤
FR 💯
Thank you!!!!
Yes I just commented the same thing maybe he needs to watch more of her videos lol they look so happy together love her and the fact that she found love and happiness is amazing so happy for her 💕❤️🎉🌸
Hahahaha ++++
When did this sickness start? If It started the time when you moved into this new house you should hire someone to check for mold and asbestos.

That's what I thought as well😢
Commenting so maybe she sees this
Im really happy for you Alana☺️ just remember to protect yourself no matter how comfortable you feel with a person. It always takes a while for humans to show their true authentic selves. Be cautious of love bombing and smooth-talking❤
My Thoughts exactly!
Agreed! Stats show that it’s usually after 2 years so 6 months is VERY quick to be married but they look very happy. I hope it stays that way, she deserves it ❤
@@sarahgeeox yes! I moved in with my boyfriend after 6 months and we’re amazing (been together 4 years), so sometimes it works out. But since they’re christians I hope she waits to have kids so she doesnt get trapped.

She’s so comfortable with Tim🫶🏻 she looks like she can finally relax and be her full self with him! So fun to see this part of Alana!!
I needed to hear this today 😢 I’ve had a really unhealthy relationship with food recently. Someone told me recently, if we are willing to invest in insurance to protect your home, cars, pets, why not protect the most valuable thing, your life. 😢 We owe it to ourselves Alana! 💕
that is an incredible perspective, thank you so much for sharing!💖
No this is the Alana that we have always seen and love
That’s why she has always been fun and interesting to watch ❤️
Girl you are radiating I’m so happy you are thriving with your person!
Girrrl it could be mold or asbestos in the new house!!! You have to check it out bc it is serious. Also, I think it is great you are reflecting about diet etc. I live in Sweden and Ive eaten at McDonalds maybe like 4-5 times this year and there is less sugar in European products compared to US. Be careful❤
Hi Alana! I just quit drinking, and its my 5th-6th day and I am also struggling with withdrawal symptoms and its really hard.
Some things that have helped me are:
-Going on 2 mile walk/run while listening to music
-Watching youtube videos of coaches telling you steps on how to quit something/how to safely go through a withdrawal process
-JOURNAL THE PROGRESS: Journal every day and gather evidence that will prove to you that your making the right decision. (This one has helped me the most). Write down all the good you feel and all the bad to get it out.
-Alone time listening to music and praying and taking deep breaths, lavender oil, fresh air flow to the room, comfy blanket
Hope you get through this girl, Im right there with you! ❤️
I don’t normally watch vlogs, but I love watching yours! It’s always so entertaining & I love seeing y’all be yourselves. I wanted to add that you are what you eat, & that’s why it’s SO good to get “live foods,” fruits, veggies, etc. I started exercising more about 6 weeks ago (lifting) & I have noticed such a difference in my mental & physical health.

I hope this encourages you 💗
As someone with a 4 month old if you’re serious about having a family one of the best things you can do to prepare is getting your nutrition in check! Pregnancy is so depleting on the nutrition stores of the pregnant person and you will really set up your future baby and self as much as possible for success by having your nutrition in check for a good 6 months before trying to conceive. Get those fruits, veggies, omega 3s, and vitamin d in!
I was the same way when I would get sick and with my throat. I’m 27 and got my tonsils out this past April and it has been a GAME CHANGER!! I haven’t gotten sick at all since then!! And if my throat hurts some it goes away in a day on it’s own now!
Alana, I have watched your videos for years and you have been sick on and off frequently, if I recall. Here is my best advice (I am in my last year of medical school in the US) and coming from someone who used to be frequently sick:
- sugar and processed foods feed bad gut bacteria and 70% of our immune system lies in the gut
- more than 90% of our serotonin is produced by gut bacteria and gut signaling
- a variety of fruits and vegetables provide a lot of nutrition (focus on ones with color and limit high-sugar fruits)
- you're right: no one diet works for everyone. Please avoid carnivore and keto (high fat, high protein) and juice cleanses - they are linked to organ damage
- best advice is to keep a food journal and allow 7-10 days before deciding a food group does or doesn't work for you
- most common food groups that increase inflammation in descending order: processed sugar, dairy, soy (and other legumes), gluten, corn, high fat foods - best place to start :)
Best of luck on your journey, love your videos and congratulations on your marriage and new home!
Alana it would be fun to see a chit chat get ready with me where you talk about marriage, the house, starting a family all while showing your newest beauty routines cuz you are radiant and your hair is just gorgeous
Girl you go. Watching you become a HOMEMAKER is amazing. I love the changes The Lord has made in your life. You’ve never been so beautiful 💕
My nephew is 32 completely blind from diabetes he’s on a transplant list for a kidney and pancreas. Please pray we get our donor.
😘 hahaha! I’m so sorry you’ve been having the headaches and getting sick frequently, but I bet you will notice those issues really start to subside once you’ve been McDonald’s-free for a good while!! And you’re definitely smart to have made a decision to take your health and your predispositions to stroke and diabetes seriously, and act accordingly! I’ve had many “awakenings” in my own life when I’ve neglected to take care of myself in one way or another, and it’s never too early start being health-conscious! I’m so happy to see you doing well and all moved in and settled!!! Must feel great after all that work!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re my favorite UA-camr these days. ❤ I am glad you’re making changes for your health. Keep exercising and eat the food God made, not food products and food chemicals made by man. ❤ I wish you all the best.
This! I switched to eating meat, vegetables, and fruits mainly. I eat cheese and nuts/seeds as snacks occasionally and jerky here and there. I felt a huge change within a week and no longer crave the processed stuff. No longer bloated, I sleep amazing, and my mental health is so much better! If I do ever want bread or pasta, I make it myself and it doesn’t affect me like store bought.
For what it’s worth, I’m a holistic practitioner. Yes, diet is huge (and everyone can agree that McDonald’s isn’t healthy), but you should also look at your environment. You’ve been doing a lot of renovations and should be extra cautious with what you’re inhaling/absorbing. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have the MTHFR gene mutation as well, which makes it harder to detox (and is linked to blood clots). Oh, and Mediterranean diet is widely accepted as one of the healthiest diets!
Im 28 years old and going through similar health issues that I’ve been suspecting could be pre-diabetes. I’m not overweight or anything but my diet isn’t healthy and I eat and drink way too much sugary stuff with almost no vegetables and little water. I’m really struggling to consistently eat better even though I’m sure it would make me feel so much better. I’d love to see some follow up videos on your journey through this!
The spirit of God lives within you and treating your temple as a holy one is great progress! It’s hard to change but we see the consequences of our past habits and if we go back, we know what that entails. Looking forward to the future and pushing past urges will make you feel so powerful and in control over the body God gave you. It’s a great feeling!
When you couldve closed on june 22 but you closed on june 23 👀 the symbolic growth!!!
I was always getting sick and staying stick for a long time. Realized it was because of my tonsils. Once I got them removed, everything was great. I only get sick once a year now. The recovery was awful, but it was worth it!
Dumb advice. Your tonsils are acleaning organ and is like your immune system.God pit it there for a reason. Adress your bad diet and you will resolve your problems. Your tonsils were warning you. Listen to your body's organs. They have wisdom.
So happy for your new life you’ve created for yourself Alana! I’ll be praying for happiness for both of you and good health on your new eating journey 🙏💗 love these videos!
Hey Alana! Will you please let us know what happened to your dalmatian? I always wonder where he is in your videos. Hope you feel better soon!
I was wondering that!
Was wondering the same thing
I was gonna comment this! Like where’s Carmine? I hope he’s ok :(
My hubby and I are currently getting ready to move to a new house out of state, and I can't help but wonder what the new owners will do with our house. The previous owners of your new house are lucky in that because you vlog, they can now follow your YT vids and see what you do to the house they once lived in, just as when I post what we will do to OUR new house, the previous owners can see what WE will do to the house. I'd absolutely LOVE to see what the new owners of our house will do to the house we bought new from construction all those years ago. Thank you for posting this; it has helped me deal with leaving our home and starting a new chapter.
Tim how could u not know that being goofy is also a part of alana we love??
@@itskate2991 I personally disagree but I think it's maybe more evident now with her vlog style content. "goofiness" is subjective anyway lol
right? i thought the same thing. but it seems now she is so much happier and so she tends to be goofy more often.
@@itskate2991I feel she’s litterally identical except for the religious part.
no fr especially on her old get ready with me’s with her ex bff, her personality is so funny
😘 Yay for you Alana 🎉 I know you will get better for sure... I trust that ❤️❤️💋❤️ if you turned religious now, and I thought that was the hardest step.... this will be a piece of cake 😉
Pregnancy is it’s own magical unicorn btw, so you could have a normal low risk pregnancy. I come from a family where no one has any major health problems and everyone has all had low risk pregnancies. I was in extremely good health before I got pregnant and I had healthy balanced diet and I lifted weights every other day. I ended up with preclampsia and had to deliver early at 36 weeks. I spent the whole month of November in the hospital due to high blood pressure. After I had my baby I ended up getting sepsis which is also extremely rare for vaginal deliveries with only 1-3% occurrences. I also went into acute respiratory failure which was very scary. But in the end I was very lucky to be alive and not have any major issues afterwards. So you can go from having no health problems to having life threatening complications or you have potential risk factors beforehand and have a low risk and easy pregnancy.
If you are predisposed to blood clots/strokes, you can take fish oil. It acts as a very mild blood thinner which helps prevent the clots from forming. Vitamin E also acts as a very mild blood thinner.
Some people who have this predisposition take low dose aspirin as a mild blood thinner daily, however that carries side effects and risks and should only be done in certain cases when prescribed by a Dr.
Omg i love this calm version of u so much and i hope u get well very soon and be crazy and energetic as well ❤. Take care alana we love u 😘
Doesn’t she also have a dalamtian ? Where is he
I think it might be with her family now
Dear Alana and anyone who needs encouragement, I personally got delivered from an addiction to an unhealthy habit and which I leaned upon to feel good. Anyone who struggles with fighting a habit or addiction, I urge you to bring it to the Lord, I used to struggle when I tried to stop my addiction and fighting temptation on my own was hard, but then I started praying everytime I felt tempted and here I am....I think 2 years or so FREE from that addiction and any temptation to do it. EVERYTIME you feel temptation ask the Lord for strength to fight it and then distract yourself from thinking about it as much as you can, it will be hard and unpleasant in the beginning and you may fail some times (I did), but don't give up for: “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13) and “Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7)
I hope this may help someone🙏 and Alana, I'd like to see your health journey 😘😂
im so glad your doing better now thats amazing! your story is truly inspiring. God bless you.
Awww you being all silly around Tim in the beginning was so sweet! I love how you can be your authentic self wtih him all the time! It's beautiful!💙 Also Alana I've gotta say I think it's wonderful how economical you are even though I'm sure you have a good amount of $. You still try to save $ when you can by doing repairs yourself/with family and same with moving costs! It's so refreshing to see someone well off doing something like that because it's SUCH a better use of money than throwing it away every chance you get like a lot of people do! Your fiancial smartness is such a good inspiration to your viewers too. I've always been good with $ but I know a lot of people haven't so I'm sure seeing your choices helps them think more about decisions. 💙
This guy reminds me so much of my husband and I loveeee it 😂 mildly obsessed, thoughtful goofball is the best combo!
yess food industry is crazy, so many conflicting claims on both sides. what i started doing is just reading scientific studies' papers directly and critically accessing them&their methodologies to make decision for my nutrition. its time consuming but well, it is really important especially if you wanna start a family someday, and want to be healthiest possible for their health (and grandchildrens'!) and so you can stay by their side for longer. God bless you! :) btw i love your content soo much recently its so raw, genuine and peaceful, thanks
On my mom's side there's predispoditions of autoimune diseases and breast cancer, on my dad's side diabetes, kidney stones and high blood preasure. When my cousin got cancer at his teen years I freaked out because I always thought it doesn't happen to healthy young kids. Then when covid hit, it's like the virus pushed all the bad stuff to the surface - I got kidney sand and my lymph nodes went crazy because of the hormone disbalance- I was scared it was 🦀cause my grandma was diagnosed with it after she had the same thing happen to her the same year. I healed from both but they both would come and go untill I started eating healthier. I am telling you the diet is 80 % of it. Antiflamatory vegetables and fruits, fish, fermented food, greens full of antioxidants..ehinacea and various teas /shakes for your imune system.. those bad things never came back( thank God). I have to say I thought it was going to be hard for me to give up coffee, dairy , some meat and sugar, but once you realize that you yourself are causing these health problems with your diet - you know you have to stick to the healthy eating and you want to maintain it. Nobody can make your body healthy for you💖
I think working out and getting on a good schedule with just that would help alot plus the last couple of months you have been going through so much not sleeping as good busy busy so that might be taking a toll on your body as well. And try to limit the mcdonalds to like once a week or you and Tim could do a healthy at home mcdonalds and try to remake them with your own style. Bless you guys and hope you feel better soon 😘😘
I’m so happy for you. You make me believe in love again!
It is so dark in this house, the ceiling is so low :( I think it was not the best choice. Hope you will settle in this place!
Love the energy, all the smiles and sharing 😘😘
what happened to her dalmatian puppy?? just curious cause i haven’t seen him in her videos
So sorry for your constant illness. Prayer for you to be able to change your diet and heal your body. I gave up McDonalds years ago and gluten due to gluten intolerance, my body was constantly attacking itself and showing me in chronic hives. I believe due to gut issues by my poor diet. I stay away from soy of any kind and as much gluten as I can possibly. Look into healing your gut and for possible leaky gut syndrome. It’s really hard but you can overcome it. ❤
love your new home and wishing you all the best!
So sorry that you're sick. I was vegetarian for 3 years and then went went vegan which I have been since 2020. I'm rarely sick and feel I have a lot of energy the entire day 💚
Samesies
I hope you feel better soon. I kinda feel like your case is a little similar to Mia Maples one (she got sick when she moved to a new house), so check for mold, maybe there's the solution.
Hi, Alana! As diabetes is an autoimmune disease, I would suggest you to check out your antibody levels. Conventional medicine may not necessarily recommend this as a preventitive measure, but tracking that number is crucial when it comes to autoimmune diseases. This will let you know if you already have some processes happening in your body that will eventually lead to diabetes without the lifestyle interventions. And changing the lifestyle to change the direction of your condition and feel better/be healthier overall is one of the main principles of functional medicine. If you already have high antibodies and your body is attacking itself, that might also be one of the reasons you get sick easily and take long time to get better. This is the case for me for example, as I have an autoimmune thyroid condition, my body is so busy fighting itself that any extra invaders get less attention from the immune system than they need. Remember, prevention is ALWAYS SO MUCH BETTER that the treatment and aftermath later on. You are already on the right track as diet is the first and best place to start. Wish you the best on your journey as you create a true connection not only with your mind and soul, but with your body as well!
Also check for mold in the house!! It can cause sickness!
I look forward to your videos most now, love this new stage for you! I will pray for your health.
I agree with the comment about checking the house! But I really appreciate you opening up about this because I used to struggle with the same thing (fast food/overindulging in not so healthy foods) - It isn't easy to break habits, and this motivated me to keep trying to completely cut out alcohol. I relate to your point about how if you mess up, you feel guilty and you know it's making you sick. I hope you begin to feel better and congratulations on your new home 💛
Hey lady! First of all congratulations on everything!!! 🙌🙌
keep on making those positive changes and you'll feel so much better once your body isn't fighting those inflammatory foods! Denying the flesh makes the spirit stronger! ❤
I have a few reccomendations that may help if you wanna give it a go or just keep in the back of your mind! long days on your feet and traveling, compression socks may help, just chat about it with your doctor and see if that's something you can do for preventing blood clots. Also cayenne pepper can really help thin your blood the same way asprin would, i mix a teaspoon in water with honey...I know its hard to take but way easier on your liver if it's something you'd need daily 😊 Also don't sweat the blood sugar being a little bit higher. If you were pre diabetic I think you'd have seen that number being closer to 200 and depending on the last time you ate or drank anything, it varies greatly. My dad is type 1. As always best of luck on your journey! Love your videos! Prayers for great health!
Alana is simply the best… my favorite youtuber forever
Hello my love! As someone who deals with PCOS + used to struggle with insulin resistance/hormonal acne, the diet that I fall back on each and every time is a whole foods diet prioritizing organic/local meat and produce. I was vegan for 8 years and wound up with a whole bunch of health issues due to my reliance on processed sources of protein (i.e. fake meats and dairy products). I still personally try to avoid dairy because I’m lactose intolerant, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with having it (as long as you can try to make sure it’s organic and antibiotic-free). I personally also stay away from faster-digesting carbs because of my tendency to have issues with blood sugar. This diet, which is primarily focused on high quality protein, healthy fat, and fiber from in-season vegetables has put my PCOS into full remission. Plus - I only get sick like ONCE a year, if that! Our bodies are really not meant to consume processed foods at the rate at which its advertised to us on a daily basis. Stick to what has as few ingredients/preservatives as possible, and you may end up feeling a whole lot better sooner than you think. I hope you recover soon, Alana! We are all rooting for you. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello, how do you react to raw diry? I'm an ex vegan as well, now on animal-based diet, and I also have lactose intolarence but I can drink about a glass of raw milk a day without any issues!
I haven't tried it yet! Do you recommend?@@j.k8139
Pray that God also changes your appetite too! Also important that you treat it like a fast and once you crave it to pray when it happens. Praying for you
I think everyone responds best to different diets- it might have a lot to do with ancestry. After trying lots of different diets I’ve found I feel my best and have the best digestion when I’m eating mostly pescatarian low sugar low processed foods. I have finnish/scandanavian ancestry so I wonder if my ancestors also ate that kind if diet and that’s why it works best for me. It’s a lot of trial and error but cutting out fast/processed food is definitely a great place to start!
I’m so happy for you two! I’m currently overcoming and changing my eating habits too so I’m right there with you girl! 😘
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 TIm your filming and editing skills are great! Love you humor, so happy to see you and Alana so happy together and living in the same house
What you eat or don't eat always matters.
😘😘😘😘😂😂😂 loving these videos!!! I would love to see a timeline video of your relationship from start to now cos I’m sooo invested and absolutely love you together!! Alana, you seem so much more authentic with yourself and you are actually an inspiration to me for your aesthetic and minimalistic approach. Lots of love from me in the UK. ❤
The more you eat something the stronger your cravings for it. When you dial back the fast food, you won't crave it as much!
Im so HAPPY for you Alana!! May God bless you and Tim!❤️🥰❤️🙏🙌
I’ve been putting off mopping and vacuuming all day I need this Mach vacuum mop thing STAT
I can’t wait to see how your new house comes along! It’s already looking so cute! Also, I’m excited to follow along on your health journey! I’m on a similar path and totally understand what you’re going through. Can’t wait for more videos ❤❤❤
I just had to pause and come over to say: This gives me pure joy! ❤
Alana if you’re getting sick often and for really long, I’d really encourage finding an immunologist in your area. While it’s rare, you potentially could have a primary immunodeficiency which would be found by testing your immunoglobulin levels and antibody titers. At the very least it will give you information on the state of your immune system over all!
This video (montage) is AMAZING! Speechless. Such good energy and good videography. Love the music in the background; soooothing!
Don’t get that from many youtube videos anymore.
Anyways: Video. is. amazing. 💚
What happened to your other two dogs? The Dalmatian’s?
I was wondering that too
Me too!
Love you so much. You are an inspiration to me girl. Have a wonderful day 🥰😘
What about the Dalmatians?
13:30 yeah I can’t eat any fast food anymore with our getting sick. It definitely helps that I like to cook
CONGRATULATIONS ❤ I Am so happy for you!!!!!!! God bless 😍
I can’t mister Brown😂😂😂😂in the bag poor little guy
😘. That ending sent me lol. I pray that with these new changes you’re feeling better soon! Love you Alana, thank you for sharing❤❤
14:26 also, very very important: don't eat snacks throughout the day, eat only three meals, so that your insulin has time to drop properly. if you keep eating your insulin absorbtion decreases because insulin is always on a high, therefore causing diabetes
Please check for mold and asbestos in your new house!! That could be part of getting sick often
I'm proud of you girl
Organic beet root powder drinks and raw blended beet smoothies daily will help a lot of the issues you mentioned, do a little research into it, you will be amazed!! And get organic extra virgin olive oil into your diet as often as you can.
Alana on a much lighter note, when you lifted your arms, my eyes bulged out of their sockets thinking it was your armpit hair. Nope just your regular beautiful hair and me needing my eyes checked out
🤣🤣😽😽😽
I love your life
I love seeing u happy like this and just relaxed
I have so much faith in you, it will get better ❤
😘😂 I pray you get well. Your journey is really inspiring, and I love that you hold yourself accountable and try change your lifestyle for the better. Sending lots of love ❤❤❤❤
What happened to the Dalmation she used to have?
Mach is pronounced correctly :) It’s the German word for doing or working 🙈 for you blood: you can inform yourself about the differences between healthy and non healthy cholersterol & healthy and non healthy oils ☺️
I heard blood sugar is a also trainable (not in the stage of diabetes, then ist to late) there are foods helping to regulate blood sugar Reaktion like cinnamon.
😘 love love love LOVE this all for you.
I love the house you chose, may many good memories be made there. I relate to your struggle, have you tried compression socks to wear around the house sometimes? 😘
😘😘😘 I had a friend that used to sleep like that and it freaked me out 🤣
I’m so happy for you guys!! Also Tim’s filming and editing skills are phenomenal; the order that you guys showed everything and bounced around between different scenes and little snippet clips and just everything was just *chef kiss*
Also just curious what happened to your dalmatian. Did you rehome him?
I'm so happy you're living the life of your dreams!
About the health stuff, I'm so proud of you for making the decision to quit fast food. Food has the biggest impact on our immune systems.
Have the Dr's checked your iron and vitamin D levels?
If not, I would ask for that. After I started taking liquid Vit D3 + K2 and got prescribed iron for my anemia completely stopped getting tonsillitis. I had tonsillitis 8 times in 2020. It was 8 times in less than a year. I was getting it once a month, I was so desperate I wanted to cut my tonsils out. But then I talked to a Dr who tested my blood and got me on these things, and I've NEVER once had it since.
I am just obsessed with this type of content❤️
Alana the last clip killed me you are SO CUTE! 😂😂😂🤍
I pray for you to be able to resist McDonalds. I noticed that you mentioned it in the last 2 or 3 videos pretty often and i was already like.. oh i hope it‘s not an every other day thing. Because this high processed food is really bad. But i know that your body will forgive you and eating it once or twice is not going to hurt you. But try to make it less attractive to you so it gets easier to resist it! I always suffer from abdominal pain after eating there and i also get diarrhea all the time (sorry for this not so nice detail 😅).
You have your husband, your dogs, your family and god and all of them love you and will take care of you. I believe in you and hope for you to get better soon!
And I am really excited for your next video already 😌🤍
Older cute houses definitely have higher cases of mold and/or asbestosis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your last video right after visiting houses, your throat really hurt, and you got strep. I immediately thought.. mold exposure. Hope that's not the case, but definitely check yours! That's a big cause for the symptoms you're struggling with. Praying for you.
or looking into the weston a price way of eating might also be helpful :) there’s is a lot of „junk food“ where if you make it yourself with healthy ingredients it’s actually healthy for you
The cookbook is called nourishing traditions I believe ! So good!
I’m sorry you’ve been feeling sick ❤
alana just looks so so happy
I’ve been looking into parasites lately. It’s interesting that most other countries do parasite treatments at least once a year. Even the Amish treat themselves.
awwww so good to see u settle down girl
What font did you use for the yellow font in the video?
Btw I‘m so happy to see you happy and glowing being in a better place with your relationships, house, and so on🩷
Junk food ages you & makes you feel lethargic. You will look & feel younger with the food God designed & created for your body. Let God & his food be thy medicine 😘🕊
I pray an instant healing for you Alana.
I watch healing videos online & today felt better. God has healed me of other chronic ailments before.
Keep pressing in.
God bless you, Tim & loves ones. 🕊
Soo interasting to follow the health stuff!❤❤
Not the sleeping clips 🤣🤣
Si happy for you guys in this new stage of life! In regards to your diet I’ll say look at what the Bible has to say about it in Genesis and Leviticus
