    I had the opposite happen to me. Since being vegan I no longer have PMS or PCOS. My hair is healthier and longer and so is my skin. Moral of the story is to do what is best for you. Please do not do a diet because someone else is doing it. Everyone is different.

      Same! Allergies went away. Daily nose bleeds were a thing of the past. Large and painful cysts on my thighs were completely gone. My only thing is now I gained weight and the skin on my face is more textured. But other than that, this vegan lifestyle has brought me more good than harm.

    I appreciate you being brave enough to make this video. I had to make a similar one a couple of years ago after being vegan for 2 years. The beginning was amazing! But after about 9 months my health started declining. WBC count dropped, brain fog, no sleep/or oversleep, fatigue to where I couldn’t even work out anymore, loss of period, skin started breaking out bad, the list goes on. All that and my labs were damn near normal…but I knew something wasn’t right. I caved in and gave salmon a try, and eventually eggs and animal products and my health has improved tremendously since! Also got a test called Nutraeval to get me back on track!

      Listen to your body and not anyone on the internet telling you “you did it wrong”. I suffered for 5 years on the vegan diet and had all the same issues you are experiencing. Nothing helped. I tried EVERY vegan alternative. I spent literally thousands on supplements and powders and this and that trying to find a vegan solution. I exercise and get outside daily and I covered all my basis on a vegan diet. I ate so clean and all whole plant foods eating lots of fat and protein and carbs. Wasn’t enough. I tried different macros, I tried it all. I was suffering. Within weeks of introducing high quality animal foods into my diet my health came back. My acne went away but now I’m left with awful acne scars. My hair is finally back to how it was before I went vegan. Seriously DO NOT listen to people on the internet telling you to try this or that vegan solution. Give your body what it needs. Beef liver saved my health!

    I have no problem with folks switching their diet for what works for them. I was vegan and now am not. The only thing that seems questionable in this video for me is the all-or-nothing belief in different identities and systems. For instance, you've gone from championing the health of veganism to now claiming that there are "no scientific studies" that back up meat as a cancer causing agent...I know people who eat meat and STILL acknowledge it as a probable cause for cancer. It is a red flag for me when we warp reality to fit our own path rather than just owning our path despite what may be contradictory. I say this in the spirit of healthy debate, because I believe as long as we are so attached to different thought systems, swinging from one to the other, we will find ourselves far from peace.

      It’s simple. She wants to eat animal products. But she knows she was against it before and talked a great deal about that, so now she has to make up and dig for reasons to tell why she’s eating meat again.
      Notice how she said she was better after having eggs and butter alone. But then she still started eating beef. Why? If you’re better and don’t need it, what was the point? Well there isn’t one other than it tastes good and she wants it.

      It´s epigenetics. If your anchestors did eat a lot of greens, you will be much more healthy if you follow a plantbased diet. If your anchestors ate mostly meat, your body might be having a lot of problems if you try a completely vegan diet.
      For me personally, and in that you are right with your thought process, it´s not only where we as humans came from but where we want to go evolutionary.
      Your age also matters. If children and teenagers eat a diet, their body and gut develop through the diet you eat. So if you start out veganism early on your body will be much more likely to have the right hormonal and bacterial starting point to live and thrive on a plantbased diet.
      When people get older, they can also digest plants more easily. Their gut is much more diverse and the nutrients old mammals can absorb will decrease a bit, since your bodily functions become slower. That´s probably because in the grand scheme of things, it was important for older beings to live on less nutrients, so their offspring could survive and with them their genes.

      Yes, people do get addicted to the idea of becoming vegan, vegetarian, raw foodist, keto, paleo, etc. It’s not about identity it should be about eating healthy and taking good care of your body. People may say they want to do a certain diet but the heart is not really there for various reason. Also, we have to take care of the mind, body and soul not just the body. If we eat healthy yet stress out, stress will basically undo the good you are doing. Also, people need to cleanse and improve gut health so your body can better absorb nutrients. Also, people eat certain ways but do not get blood work done to see what you are lacking or if you are doing something excessive. I was vegan 10 years ago but stopped because I realized I did not have complete understanding of how to efficiently prepare vegan meals. Now, I eat plant base but add salmon and try to eat rainbow of colors. Limit nits and legumes. I eat various foods in moderation. Basically I combine plant base/ Mediterranean / anti inflammatory diet.

    I went through something very similar. Veganism helped me so much in the first 3 years, after that, I slowly deteriorated and crashed going into year 7. I started dreaming of and craving animal foods, which felt like a betrayal to my ethics, but my vegan ego was actually betraying my body. I now eat intuitively, and feel so much better!

      This is what I experienced as well. Even taking the proper supplements and meticulously counting macros I found with plant based eating I hit a wall about 2-3 years in. I've done plant based on 4 separate occasions. I admire people who can make it work for them and they are vibrant and feel great, and I admire people who are willing to sacrifice their personal health for a cause they believe in, but I knew my body was sick and I needed it to heal. I was so invested in veganism as such a huge part of my identity that I wasn't sure what to do with myself once I transitioned away.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO TRANSPARENT AND MAKING THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO! I've been struggling with this for sooo long!! It started getting really bad in my second pregnancy. I did not eat meat, rarely used cheese or butter and drank almond milk. Around the second half of my pregnancy my health started to decline horribly. I looked exauhsted my skin was losing color and i had no energy. That fourth of July, my family and I went to a friends and they made steak. I remember looking at that steak for a long time with such guilt before I cut into it. When I tell you, even the HOURS following the digestion of that meat made a HUGE difference. I already started feeling much better. I can't say all this time I haven't been guilty though. And I'll go through periods where I make myself not eat animal product as well as I.F. and it's been really hard lately. You speaking on this is a huge relief, and I've got so much gratitude for you for doing so. Have a beautiful weekend my love, you are so appreciated!! ✌️ 💜

      The human body is indeed virtually the exact same for everyone. There's less genetic variation across every single human on the planet than in even single populations of our closest relative species. The idea that one human body needs something other than another is total nonsense with zero basis in reality, and everyone can not just achieve perfect health on a 100% plant-based diet, but it's literally the only way to achieve optimal healthy for humans.
      It's hilarious that people like try to speak about ideology, and yet you're constantly spewing the same delusional carnist death cultist ideology yourselves.

Excess weight falling off, regular periods, no more brain fog, no anxiety and very minor pms. My skin even has a better glow. I still have meatless meals but a few times out the week I add meat in.

Then, the debilitating anxiety and depression...my hormones was going through it and I refused to believe it was my diet. Doctors, even family members would suggest I try to implement some animal products back into my diet yet I refused because I was so committed to this lifestyle and cause. I had to literally reach rock bottom before I honored myself and body and made the obvious change it was asking for. Since I made the switch about five months ago the acne is now very faint dark spots, anxiety and depression has subsided but most importantly I just feel better. To anyone reading this vegan or not please do not box yourself into any one thing, give yourself permission to change your mind.

Animals are suffering because of your ignorance and your entitlement. If you don’t do it for compassion for the animals, do it for the environment. You all spiritual people that eat dead animals, that pay people to murder beautiful loving beeings.. start the real journey to love and knowledge.

    This is why I don't like embracing titles- bec then I'd feel like I'd have to live up to them, lol. I dont eat meat but i respect that other people do and i also respect that there is value in [nontoxic] meat. My Guidance has shown me that there are times when it is ok for me to eat [nontoxic] meat when the spirit moves me to. I also remember that certain types of chicken is healing for me over the years when I did eat meat. I prefer to simply go with the flow and I agree that since our bodies change, its best to change with it. I dont eat eggs for different reasons but for months Ive wondered if free roaming eggs might be conscience free for me. I think it is, I just havent gotten around to it yet although the Universe has delivered up several free roam eggs in my community. So... Yes, everyone should eat according to how they feel and that will look different for every person and may also change with the seasons.

I have refused to entertain the idea of my vegan diet being a factor of poor hormonal health in the past, but now I am beginning to honestly look at my feelings towards animal protein, without flinching.

I swore at the time I lost all that weight because fat was unhealthy and that my eczema flare up was all the toxins releasing lol. When I got pregnant with my daughter, my cravings for meat and dairy were skyrocketing and something told me that I needed to listen to this calling because intuitively I felt I needed more nourishment. Thankful for my daughter for helping me transition back to eating eggs, dairy, meat, etc. I currently would consider myself an intuitive eater or even animal based. My family is from Guyana and used to live on a farm where they ate their own cows, chickens, eggs, etc. I'm realizing that this is what I'm working towards returning to. I go out of my way to grocery shop for grassfed beef, cow milks, cheeses, etc. pasture raised eggs, and things like that. I realized my gut was messed up via my eczema as well and that's where I focused my healing. I cut out all the processed crap and included kefir and grassfed yogurts into my diet to help my microbiome improve.

I took the time to watch your entire video to understand why you gave up being a vegan. I respect your decision to start eating animal products again, but found that some of the information you shared regarding the benefits of animal products wasn't supported with peer reviewed medical studies. What the science has overwhelmingly shown in comparison to animal-based diets are vegans tend to have better health outcomes when it comes to conditions such as cardiovascular disease & cancer. I note that you didn't mention seeing a doctor or specialist, & getting an assessment done to look in more depth to the roots of your health issues. There're vegans who have been practicing this lifestyle for decades and are still healthy. I also didn't understand what you were saying about the problems we vegans have in terms of bioavailability issues with proteins & fats.

    Some of y’all didn’t hear the part where she said get your gut tested to see what YOUR BODY IN PARTICULAR needs and it shows. She is telling us out of her own mouth what was going on with HER body. It’s amazing if YOU didn’t/don’t have the same experience, but she (and a lot of other folks) have this same or similar experiences. Get YOUR gut checked and see how YOUR body is doing and go from there. I’m sorry but that “I had to pause when she told us lard is good for us” comment had really got me tight asf. Her message is “getting your gut tested and having a balanced diet is beneficial and you should try it.” and some of y’all are acting holier than thou and ion likeeee det.

      She does say do whatever feels right for your body but then she contradicts herself by saying that she doesn't reccomend a vegan diet for anyone especially women- so what she's really saying is veganism isn't healthy. Also she probably just had a poorly planned plant based diet (as she stated she was on a raw diet) so attributing this to veganism as a whole is wrong.

You spiritual people that eat dead animals, that pay people to murder beautiful loving beeings.. start the real journey to love and knowledge. Go do the exam but then don’t blame it on veganism if you don’t like the results, blame it on your ignorance of plant based food. Olímpic champions are vegan. Glad you are cured now.

      I’m confused about people getting over a year of following a diet before realizing their health is declining. You should notice or at least know when a diet is working for you or not within the first 3-6 months. I’m not 100% vegan but I know I noticed a difference within the first month when I went back to my doctor and my vitals looked better and my energy was better. I eat plant based 90% of the time now because not everyone in my household eats vegan so it’s hard trying to make 2 different meals, but I went 100% after I was hospitalized for health issues for 3 months and it improved my health and jump started me to eat mostly plant based for better health.

You were visibly beating yourself up over indulging in a non-raw meal, and you came to terms with how it was affecting you. When you had that heart to heart, I was so proud and that's was the moment I realized you're someone who I'd continue to follow. There is nothing more beautiful than someone who can be honest with themselves about their need to evolve. I can't imagine how difficult that might be to do under the lens of so many people with their irrelevant opinions, but you continue to do it again and again and it's so inspiring. I've loved seeing you make room for yourself in this way, and expanding in your compassion and understanding for others because of it. Keep letting yourself dig for truer truths, and loving yourself exactly as your spirit demands in the moment. You've got many people who support you for that divine quality, not for what you do or don't do, but for you are as you figure all that out. Peace and love, you beautiful being 💕

    I volunteer at a raw dairy micro-farm. Our raw milk, cheese, butter, cream, and whey taste NOTHING like the crap in the grocery stores. Raw dairy tastes alive and vibrant. I can feel in my body that it is a high-vibrational food. The most important thing is to make sure the cow has an organic, majority grass fed diet. We give our cows grass, alfalfa, hay, a couple scoops of grain, and leftover organic veggies from the garden. You can taste the essence of the cow in the raw dairy. It sounds crazy, but high quality raw dairy is truly magical and healing.

I do not encourage anyone to just go eat saturated fats and butter without get blood work/tests done. What works for one may not work for another. Know what is best for you. Don’t want anyone to start eating butter and then end up having a heart attack. More importantly, if your gut is not healthy you will not assimilate nutrition very well.. You could be eating a good diet but not assimilating the nutrients.
    Know your body and what is best for your body! Don’t just go by how you feel…get blood work done to see if what you are doing is effective.

      in a first moment I though just like you about the guts, but, by the video, it seemed to me that the bacteria in the gut was balanced because of the food change, so how would she balance the bacteria by eating the food that wasn't recomended to her gut health? it seemed that the diet was already wrong by the results of the test...

    Fully support you sis 👏 So happy you made this video. I was vegan for 8 years and this year, finally fed up of experiencing gut issues, fatigue, anxiety and PMS, I started implementing a more balanced diet consisting of organic produce, pasture raised animals, bone broth, local pasture raised eggs, wild caught fish and ghee. I also have dehydrated beef liver. Best I've ever felt in my life 💚 Can't wait for more educational vids from you about diet and would love to see what you eat in a day!

      @@cookie7241 Make your own! Save all bones in your freezer. Beef, pork, chicken, turkey, whatever. When you have a big batch boil it for days. The smaller bones will soften to the point you can crush them in your hand. Season to taste.

    If this human experience is about love why are we eating tortured animals ? That isn't love.

      Humans have been eating meat since the beginning of time. It’s part of who we are at this point.

      Not all animals were tortured. Jewish people do not eat tortured animals, so stop assuming that.

    I appreciate you sharing this. My hormones were going haywire and my gut health has suffered. I tried going vegan for a few years and I think it caused my insulin levels to fluctuate. I have had most of the same issues. I have just started eating more meat again. Peace and love to you sister! Thank you. ❤️🙌🏾

    This was a powerful video. As a nurse you are not lying about the importance of breakfast. When I skipped breakfast before my shift started, I sometimes wouldn’t eat for another 6-8 hrs and would be starving and flustered on my unit. Listen to your body ladies!💕💕

    I’m listening. But my experience is really that I had all these symptoms when I was not vegan. Now I’ve been vegan for 6 years, and I haven’t had any of these symptoms at all... so I’m a little confused now.
    Could it be, different bodies need different foods? Or is it just a matter of time you think?

      The point is that veganism isn’t for everyone. It effects everyone differently. Do what’s best for you.

      @FrozenCharles Před 2 lety +5

      You may have had a toxic diet prior to going vegan that helped you thrive on a more clean eating approach. And/or have had a lot of animal fat and nutrient reserves that allowed you to continue veganism for so long. Vegan deterioration takes its own time on every one at different levels. Some vegans loose teeth, bones become brittle, experience fatigue. It’s all different and depends on your own body.

      I think it is a bit of both. I believe that your body is ever changing. You must support it through all transitions, the support your body needs may not be the same throughout your life.

      It’s about not putting mental restrictions on yourself. People who go vegan are often in a weird mindset when they go into it. It can’t be just vegan, has to be raw or some other fad. Funnily enough, they never actually try to just eat a nice balanced diet before taking the easy road to animal products.

      She basically under ate by doing borderline eating disorder things like fast, messed up her hormones, and Adrenals, which would mess up your skin big time, and make you feel crappy, then she started eating foods like butter and eggs that are much higher in calories and magically felt better, hormones became balanced from giving the body the proper calories and fuel. Honestly I think people lack common sense.

    You were one of my guiding inspirations when I went vegan 3 years ago. Interesting to hear about your switch. Personally, veganism has helped me drop to and maintain my ideal weight. I feel healthy, no bloating and have plenty of energy. I get a few chin pimples a month and a longer cycle on occasion but it doesn't feel like a major deal. I'm afraid that if I go back to eating animal product the weight will come back and I won't be able to resist temptation 😬 Veganism gives me an easy excuse to avoid most sweets and cheese-laiden goodies. If I feel good, why change it? Although there could be more going on inside that I don't know about. Please do a video all about the gut testing 🙏 I'm intrigued!!! Thanks V, for sharing openly and honestly. Peace to you too ☮️
