    Wow! Dr. Laurie, you are beyond inspirational! I couldn't agree with you more, I believe life really is all about our spiritual journey. I am super excited for you! Connecting with nature, taking in the beauty and serenity of God's astonishing creations... what a wonderful way to live. Sending you love and prayers for the best life possible. If you ever find yourself in Central Indiana, it would be an honor and blessing to meet you in person.
    Best of luck to you and your husband and Daisy!

    Dr. Laurie, medical trained professionals grounded like you are & understanding WFPB & Vegan living, the way you do , with it’s true connection to lifestyle medicine, keeping us all healthy , while respecting our connection to our planet and yet still following the science& Personally stepping off the treadmill not just makes a difference to people like me (60 yo Crohns IBD living in Ireland) but to anyone who can join up the dots or even serendipitously stumbles on your work, your message is hits home.
    For me if there were medals for bravery or n CZcams you get gold silver & bronze.
    Listening in Cork, Ireland to my new fave nomad 💚 don’t doubt your choices and decisions not even for a moment 🙌

    That’s so cool you went nomadic, 4 years ago I converted my van and have never looked back I love it. Traditional Dr’s have failed me many times I’m not saying Dr’s are bad just uninformed. But I’m saving for a stay at True North Health Center can’t wait. But appreciate you thank you 😊

    I don’t know if you remember me, but I was your patient at PBT and I’m still seeing Dr Scheuer. My husband and I are spending the summer in our motorhome in Alaska. I insist on keeping our ‘home base’ in AZ but we are gone a lot of the time. More power to you!

    Wonderful. I feel the same way. Plants, nature, much less ‘stuff”. Am in the process of getting rid of a lot of unnecessary things. The more minimalist I e come, the better I feel on so many levels. And, helping others to get out of an industrial and capitalistic system. To help myself and others actually become healthier is a joy. And to hear this philosophy from a doctor gives me hope. Lora

    Very interesting! Lots of doctors wish they could do something like that, but the change seems too overwhelming. With so many bills to pay & childcare issues, the idea of living in an RV seems impossible. Yet, they wish they had more time for conversations with patients. The health care system is always pressuring doctors to go faster and faster, to generate more billing codes. Almost no one is following outcomes.

    So cool. As an RN for 35 years I’m tired of the corporate grind. We are buying our first RV and we are in our 60’s. We are looking forward to being away from the noise and more with nature. I’m a quilter and am not ready to let go is my fabric. My husband and I both quilt and give away most of what we make. The idea of giving something to comfort someone else is rewarding. I’ll be taking my sewing with me along with our dog Maui. Peace! Happy Travels.

    Congrats. My husband and I have lived a simple life the 3 decades we've been married to the side eye of the many 😊. We have been very happy and continually are happy. We are new to the WFPB lifestyle. I found your Channel through an interview you held with Javant. Thanks.

    Your story is refreshing - Thanks for sharing and enjoy your journey! Being WFPB as much as I can, I feel great at 65 but sad for others close to me that don't understand. Doctors like you help me have confidence to continue and just be an example to others.

    This was really inspiring to hear and I feel like I’m hearing it at the exact right time. For the past year I’ve been living out of a suitcase. Lately I’ve been searching for a more permanent apartment and I’ve just found myself dragging my feet through the experience. I can tell a part of myself has truly appreciated this period of my life where I’ve been able to live more simply and not accumulate as many possessions. I do miss my Vitamix, though 😊
