- Fast Stroke Recovery - Personal, Chatty Video About My Stroke Recovery Plan
Although after my stroke I initially decided to remain on the carnivore diet, since that time I have studied the research extensively and made the personal decision to switch from the carnivore diet to a whole foods plant based diet.
In this very personal, chatty video I share information about why I am making this dietary change and also my plans going forward.
If you have any opinions about anything I share in the video, or anything you’d like to add, I hope you’ll share the information in the comments section below the video. That way we can help each other! XXOO Beth

Beth, this is fantastic! (I am a plant-based RN & was one of the people that expressed concern about your carnivore diet after your stroke, but with encouragement to educate yourself, rather than judging or insulting your ideas). You are clearly someone that is open to life-long learning and the information out there is both eye-opening and shocking at times. Even doctors are not educated about the role nutrition plays in our health. Bringing this content to the forefront of your channel is a wonderful opportunity to spread the true wellness message. 💝
Thank you so much Jackie for your very wise comments. That’s wonderful that you were a plant-based RN. You knew this research long before I did. I’m so happy I found it because the science in all of it gives me hope for sure.

So proud of you, Beth! I was concerned about the carnivore diet and your subsequent stroke. I believe you are on the right track now! Thank you for being vulnerable and willing to talk about your changes!
Thank you so much! You are very kind.
Welcome to the whole plant based life style! I'm so glad you opened your eyes and on time. I saw your video after you had the stroke and was worried about your decision of continuing with the carnivore diet... didn't mention anything because as a vegan of many years I've learned how meat eaters react when you mention the dangers of their diet. So happy for you and I wish you the best in your new lifestyle. Happy to help you out if you need anything in this new world. 💚💃🌱
💖 Yay - I’m so looking forward to your coming videos!! I am totally on board with your revelation of what constitutes a healthy diet! I’m right there with you. Thank you for sharing…. You look gorgeous today, as always ☺️
This is what I simply adore about you, Beth. You are so real. I’ve been following you since the beginning💞 Stay real and transparent, my friend.
Thank you so much!! Victoria, you’re a sweetheart!
Omg. Beth, so happy for you!!!! I was so worried about your health but too shy to say anything. I am so relieved and happy for you!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind support.
So glad you are going plant based! I look forward to hearing about the health improvements you find 🙌🏽
Will do!!
I'm almost 61, and have been plant-based/vegan for almost 9 years, in great health, and my labs are still even better than before. I wish more people would investigate and learn that the SAD (Standard American Diet) will eventually catch up with us. Forks over Knives is a great documentary and book, so is The China Study. My other favorites are What the Health and PlantPure Nation. Wishing you many years of health, thank you so much 🌿💚
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful results on the plant-based diet. I loved everything you referenced to.
I have written and deleted many messages to you about the benefits of a whole food plant based diet. I just felt that there would be no way you’d do such a complete switch but you have and that’s wonderful.
You will find after a while there is an intangible peace that comes with this diet. I didn’t start this for the animals, I started this to keep my brilliant husband alive. But it’s definitely a bonus. I can hardly walk near the meat section of a grocery store now, it stinks like dead animals to me. I fill my cart with gorgeous vegetables and fruit and whole grains and legumes and just can’t figure out why everyone else doesn’t want to eat these beautiful foods.
It’s not the easy road you’re taking, but it’s the cleanest and most beautiful way of living, eating, shopping, prepping food and cooking. It’s just so uplifting in every way!
I recommend reading How Not to Die and the CZcams channel Well Your World as inspiring resources.
Thanks so much ch for your wonderful comments. I have read How Not to Die and it’s wonderful!
I'm curious how long you have been eating this way?
I was whole food plant based vegan for 8 years. I felt the same way you do, I thought I was eating the best food on the planet and felt great until about 6 years in... Started having to really monitor my intake of variety of foods adding supplements to get iron up, etc .. while it brought my iron and B12 up I was still feeling not as strong, and looking grey, losing hair, skin elasticity getting worse.
At first I blamed it on age because I felt I was eating the best way I could but after caving in and including meats the change was so dramatic and I'm 6 mos in eating meats and my health is improving, strength, skin, energy, hair everything. I can't deny the benefits on my health by including meats again. But I didn't start feeling the negative effects until about 6 years after (blaming it first on "it must be my age") but it wasn't, it was the lack of nutrients my body wasn't absorbing from plant food. I ate a variety of whole foods, nuts seeds, avocadoes, tofu, leafy greens, grains, purple sweet potatoes, legumes, lentils, smoothies, including supplements, i was so sad because i lovef that lifestyle but it startimg getting stressful in the end.

I’m happy to hear this. The podcast Nutrition facts with Dr. Gregor is really great, also. I look forward to seeing all the different kind of videos you will be posting.
Thank you so much. Thanks also for reminding me about Dr. Gregory’s podcast. I bet his podcasts are amazing. I am so impressed that he’s had three New York Times best selling books and yet takes none of that money for himself. He is truly an amazing person. a genius who really gives back to us all.
Thank you for your honesty. Will be following your journey 😊
Beth wishing you well in 2024 and complete recovery in your health. Like you I have IBS and the only diet that has HELPED my IBS has been low carb healthy fat. I tried plant based diet and it really exacerbated my IBS so I’m wishing you very well🙏🏼🥰👏🏻thank you for sharing your experiences w us.
You are so welcome. I have to admit that my IBS is a bit worse on the plant-based diet but after two months, it seems to be improving. Heard one scientist on a CZcams video discuss why IBS tends to do better on a carnivore diet. He said it’s kind of like the FODMAP diet. In that diet you remove foods which are likely to cause an IBS flareup, and then you introduced them again one by one. He said that on the carnivore diet, since you were avoiding all other foods, except meat, you don’t get any flareups. That kind of made sense to me.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty yes! I do the FODMAP with low carb and healthy fats, avocado, olive and stay away from seed oils but I’m following your journey because my ldl is very high and I want to learn from you. I think it was very open of you to share that critical CZcams comment with us because it also has me thinking. I’ve never done keto and see my Dr this month. Thank you Beth🥰❣️💕🫶🏻
Beth, your research is excellent. I'm pleased that you are doing so well. Your diligence is paying off nicely. I love hearing about your health journey and beauty hints. Thank you. Love your lipstick color too.
Thanks so much!
Beth! you are such an honest person... OMG!!! acknowledging on YT that your diet was not the best is a breath of fresh air ! very few influencers would do it! bravo!!!!
Thank you so much!!
Good for you, Beth. I’m on a whole food plant based diet for the last 3 years and have never felt better. There’s SO many studies (including long term) ones that prove this lifestyle is incredibly beneficial. I’m working on getting away from drinking. I started at a gym this past year. I’ll never look back. Looking forward to seeing those new walking outfits!❤
Congratulations on all of your health improvements!
Hi Beth, thank you for sharing with us your truth and experience on your health. I like the mediterranean diet and I’m working towards reducing my blood pressure. Happy new year 🎆
Happy New Year to you too Mary!!
So happy you are on the right path and leading your followers on right path to health. Thank you and continued success and health in New Year! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that
Beth, I’m so happy that you have started making health changes to improve your health. I’m very interested in this new diet, my husband had a massive heart attack one year ago and now he’s been able to come off those blood thinner. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us and willing to help others. Love watching the videos and can’t wait to learn more. 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks so much and I’m so glad your husband is doing better.
This gives me incentive to stay vegan
I'll be following your health journey. Glad you have found a path for you to follow.
Thank you so much. I am glad about that too.
I’m on a plant based eating program. I’m pre-diabetic and it truly has helped me for the last two years. I’m not on any meds either. I don’t think I can go back to eating the way I did. This was through my medical provider and it was approved as well. I walked for 3-4 months, 5 miles three times a week and I lost 18 lbs. I’m not where I want to be but I’m definitely headed in the right direction. Good luck, Beth.
Congratulations on your very healthy program! Awesome that you’re on no meds at all.💝💝💝
Beth just love 🧡 you always tuning in. Fab info. And … you look amazing 🤩
Thank you so so much! You’re a sweetheart!
Beth , thank you so much for opening up to us and having the courage to share your journey with us . I sincerely appreciate it. As I age, I plan to eat more plant based and still include a little meat - poultry and fish. I think a balanced diet and not overeating is key. I’m looking forward to your future videos and again, thank you for sharing. Also could you share some of the frequent recipes you are currently using. That would be fun! Keep up the great work🤗🥰
Thank you so much!
The lipstick looks great on you ! Am looking forward to your health journey and am trying to get healthy myself. God bless you ! ❤
God bless you too and thanks so much for your nice comments. Have a great 2024!
Looking forward to hearing more about your health journey. Happy New Year
Happy new year to you too!
I’m excited to learn more about the plant based diet. My doctor recently recommended that I do that as well. My concern is about getting enough protein.
Love your channel! Thank you sharing!
You are so welcome!
🎉Happy and Healthy 2024 to You Beth! Excellent video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Like you I have also travelled the Palio/Vegetarian /Carnivore/Fasting diet road and now I’m to a sensible diet with 3 small meals per day. Vegetables, Fruit, small amounts of protein and low amounts of healthy fats. First time in years I feel fantastic! No hunger; no cravings; and most of all feeling well. You look beautiful Beth, black looks fabulous on you💕
I am so glad that’s working for you! You look just lovely too!
Beth, two days ago my husband was told by a cardiologist that he was a prime candidate for a stroke. He was devastated, depressed and feeling helpless. Yesterday I not only saw your headline about stroke recovery but just happened to see a couple random articles about whole foods and avoiding animal fats and dairy. I took those as signs to make a change. I made my husband watch the “Knives over Forks” video you recommended. Although it’s extreme, it gave my husband a sense of being in control. He is now committed to trying a more plant-based diet for a month (the same diet I tried to keep my family on for years until I gave in to the whining from all quarters, but let’s not go there). Thank you, Beth for sharing your story. Best of luck on your health journey.
Hi Kathy. You don’t know how happy it made me to make your very nice comment. I totally get where your husband is coming from. As after the stroke I did get depressed about the fact I had a stroke as that is kind of a devastating diagnosis. I am so glad that my video helped. You learn more about the benefits of a plant-based diet. I have been plant-based for almost 3 months now and my cholesterol is totally in the normal range and my blood pressure is now normal as well where it was high before. High blood pressure Can be a problem and increases the risk of strokes. God bless you and I wish your husband very well. He has a great person on his team and that’s you!
If a dr tells a patient such thing, then he/she should also suggest lifestyle changes and offer medication! I hope your husband got that, being given such a message could be really scary and give even more burden to the already declined health (blood pressure going up by worrying being one, not getting enough sleep due to the mind spinning when scared and feeling, as you mentioned, helpless)
I agree with you completely about the plant based diet! Well done:)
Yes! Thank you!
This is so interesting, Beth. About a week or so ago I saw you reply to someone that you were switching to vegetarian.I was surprised but interested! I've been wanting to go on carnivore but have been afraid to because of having afib. A friend just recommended that Forks over knives movie to me last week. Seems like I might be getting a message. :) Anyway, best of good health to you! Thank you for sharing your journey with us so unselfishly. God bless you. Here's to a healthy 2024!
Thanks so much Cinnie! I think you’ll love forks over knives!
So happy for your progress
Yes to more health videos!!!🎉
4:09 yes! Have them show their work. Love that you weren't dogmatic or set in your ways, you saw evidence, interventional studies, and change from there. Bravo!
Good I’m glad your off that diet. Hope you have success with your new eating plan ❤
I hope so too!
Thank you, Beth. Great video. I have never felt CZcams influencers (who aren't trained dietitians or in medicine) should be encouraging the various fad diets that are being pushed online. Thanks you for sharing this important video. Keep up the good work on your health!
Thanks so much for your nice comment Karen. I really appreciate that.
Beth, I am so happy to hear you are doing well and that you are making the change to a WFPB lifestyle. I’ve been following you for a few years and at time wanted to comment on your diet but feel everyone needs to find their own way. I had RA and horrible lab work and was able to get off all my meds and clean up my bloodwork by changing my diet 7 yrs ago at 58 - it was hard but no regrets. Going out to dinner with family is the hardest but I pack some beans in my purse order a salad and I’m good. Please though you do need some healthy fats to metabolize the nutrients you are eating so please don’t eliminate all plant based fats.
Also your comment on loneliness- yes, I felt that also where I use to live - recently moved to a community in Fla that will allow me to be more active and it has a Huge social network to get involved in which I look forward to joining. Sending big hugs 🥰
Congratulations on your move to Florida! It is very exciting that you were moving to a place with the sense of community built in. That will be wonderful not only in terms of how you feel, but also in terms of improving your overall health. Thank you also for explaining that you went plant-based seven years ago and that you have no regrets. That is wonderful that you were able to get off your RA meds. I also used to suffer from RA and I am very familiar with how tricky those meds are. Truly awful really. God bless you and I wish you great success in your new home!
Cuanto me alegro que te hallas dado cuenta y hallas cambiado tu dieta … yo también hago una dieta a base de plantas ❤ me encantaría que enseñaras lo que comes en un día
I am so happy to hear you also follow a plant-based diet. You are a lot smarter than I was but I am so glad I have been given a second chance. God bless you and thanks for sharing that!
Looking forward to your content over the coming year. For you to have lowered your cholesterol levels and blood pressure is fantastic!!
Yes. I am very pleased about that!
Thank you! Now I can follow you again.
You're welcome! I’m so glad you’re back!
You deserve saint status! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience. You will save many, many lives!💚💙❤😍💖🤯
You are so welcome! You are very kind to say that. Yes, I hope to help others through my rather interesting experience.
Looking beautiful as ever!❤Happy New Year!!!
Thank you! You too!
Good Luck on on your new program!
Thank you!
Wow, I have had this plant based message come at me all day! I think I need to explore this way of eating.
Thanks so much for leaving a comment. I have been on the plant-based eating plan about three months and it feels pretty good I have to admit.
Hi Beth I really enjoyed your content today. With everything, if the information fits your lifestyle by all means do it. You look great! ❤
Thank you so much! Vera, you’re a sweetheart!
Beth, it's a really good thing, when one is able to change ones mind, re-evaluate things and do the research. It shows of intelligence! It's important to mention not one fits all, but most of us wont do bad with greens & good protein, fish being a major one. I do not think you need to be afraid of avocado though (the link you showed) The brain needs some fat, coming from greens is a good thing. It's a djungle out there with all the recommendations, but extremes in one way or the other, is usually never good for anyone. I will follow your journey from now on, all the best to you and thank you for sharing this in an honest & well thought through way!🌸
I love being a carnivore as it has improved my entire life style. Going by physicians who are carnivore and their documents of research reflecting carnivore diets are the best. I wish you the best Beth.
Thank you so much for your nice comment and I am glad the carnivore lifestyle is working for you.💝
I did the WFPB vegan diet, read all of Dr. esselsteins books, Dr. mcDougal, and the likes. I was a firm believer I was eating the best way but about 6 years in my health started to decline, after 8 years I added more healthy fats, iron supplements, better quality B12, healthy fats, plant based protein .. it helped a little but my muscle tone was just gone flabby skin and fat even though I was thin, my energy was fleeting... I started eating meat again and it improved immediately... My muscle tone is improving, my skin is looking better, my hair, my energy, people have been complimenting my skin, I'm lifting weights again, went ketovore and now carnivore (I am a little concerned about heart disease) but I feel so good so who knows but I know WFPB vegan was not enough nutritionally.
Yes Beth thank you for voicing plants....60 year old healthy plant based here! Xx
Hi Beth! I’m glad to hear about all your research and your new health journey. Back in 2011 my husband and I watched Forks over Knives and decided for our health it would be good to give it a try. We ate plant based for about 4 years. It was great for my husband but I ended up with severe osteoporosis at 58. Not sure if the diet had anything to do with it but I don’t think it helped. I consulted a naturopathic physician and he recommended basically the Mediterranean diet for my osteoporosis. He said I absolutely need to eat all kinds of animal proteins such as beef, pork, lamb, chicken and fish, lots of vegetables, beans, legumes and no sugar. My last dexa scan showed improvement thankfully. We still eat lots of vegetables but now add in meat proteins. Just wanted to share cuz in our household what was good for one wasn’t good for the other. Thanks for sharing your story and new health journey, I wish you the best. 😊❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your information and I’m sorry you got osteoporosis. I need to watch out for that too. I appreciate you mentioning that. I am glad that making the switch to the Mediterranean diet helped you. Thanks for sharing that. Beth
Whatever you do, I support you. 💓
Thanks so much, Wendy! You’re a sweetheart!
I so enjoy your honesty. And I do love that lipstick on you.
Thank you so much 🙂
Beth, I find your comments interesting. You say to be careful of what CZcamsrs say, but YOU are one of the CZcamsrs who pushed the carnivore diet, and recommended doctors who support it. While I do not agree with the carnivore diet, diets are not one size fits all. Just because a diet works for you, does not mean it will work for others. As well as HRT. Just because your doctor is recommending you not take it, does not mean others should as well. Each individual needs to weigh the pros/cons. People should consult with their physicians first before following CZcamsr's advice. I wish you the best on your health journey.
There is not a CZcams content creator that I would ever take diet and health advice from. If we want to play with makeup, skin care or health care fine, when it comes to health - no way!
Thank you so much for the good wishes Julie. I appreciate your comments.
Beth I wish you could give this advice to Lisa LisaD1 ( she is a CZcamsr influencer, a lovely person) who is on a only meat carnivore diet, I wish she could hear what you say.
It’s really funny Beth. I went to my doctor and he is saying a lot of stuff that you’re saying .I don’t get enough sleep and I’m trying. I don’t know how , sleep is so important you’re so right. So also and I need to cut the salt out too ,so I like it a lot that you’re learning and I’m sorry it was from a stroke. That you are studying and listening To and talking to your Doctor.All my prayers for you in total total Recovery and good health and I will be going right along beside you. Thank you for motivating me as I have a kidney disease and can’t do high-protein. To much protein is bad too. I am starting the gym again next week. Thank you for being so honest and upfront. Everything you said is so true the loneliness and everything.❤️❤️
If you watch Beth’s videos over time, you’ll see she jumps on a lot of bandwagons. And then showcases them here. A lot of it, is unfortunately, quackery.
@@janeseemann2527 you got that right!
We can always find research that proves our points and disproves our points... you do what is best for you based on your instinct.
God bless you! You look marvelous!
Thank you so much!
I wish you all the best, Beth! We're all unique and should follow what works best for us. Carnivore always seemed too extreme for me. I've been vegetarian and vegan, done Atkins and Mediterranean. I grew up on Kool-aid, Tang, and PopTarts, and all vegetables came from a can. I wish I knew better (but I was just a kid)! In my adult life I've been very health-obsessed. Currently doing Keto, which eliminates processed junk food, sugar, and simple carbs, while still eating a a variety of veggies, plus meats and healthy fats. It makes the most sense to me. Food choices these days can feel complicated. Best wishes to us all!
I am total with you on wishing I had paid more attention to my health at a younger age. Your Kool-Aid tang and pop tarts diet was totally where I was too! I also regret that when my kids were young, I didn’t have this information.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Same for raising my kids, too! I'm glad we have all the information at our fingertips now, but oh... to have a rewind button! 😉
Beth
So glad you have decided to forego all of those crazy fad diets in favor of a more sensible and healthy way of eating. None of those other diets ever made sense to me and while many youtubers mention that they are backed up by studies my question was What Studies. As my physician says the only studies we should pay attention to are those mentioned in the New England Journal of Medicine Mayo Clinic Cleveland Clinic etc.
Looking firward to hearing about this new healthy way of eating!
Happy and healthy 2024!
I totally agree with you. Gabby and I also feel very misled by social media influencers. It was my fault, though, as I really took them at face value because there are studies that show everything but you were so right, we need to really look out for valid studies, thanks so much for your great comment and I hope you have a wonderful new year.
I am ketovore, so I will be following your journey. I find our amazing, God given, bodies fascinating. I wish you well, Beth. Thank you for sharing!
You were so welcome, Cynthia ! I appreciate your nice comments.
I think genetics plays a large part in how your body responds to things. Some people can have a terrible diet, smoke and drink alcohol and live to a ripe old age. Others can do all the "right" things and die at 40. Since I don't know which category I fall into I will try to eat healthy, not smoke or drink and exercise. I never was into diets that eliminated categories of food except junk food. Everyone is different, but I strongly believe that everyone should get a checkup done yearly as well. That way, if the choices you're making are not good for you, it will give you a heads up before it's too late.
Thank you so much for all your very good comments. You were so right that some people can do everything wrong and they seem to be healthy! That’s neat though that you were playing it safe by doing the right things. God bless you and have a great new year!
I lost my health following a vegetarian diet style. 5 years in and my doctor, after checking my blood etc, wrote out a prescription which read "Steak" 3 x week. He said my body requires meats and eggs and lots of vegetable too. Now, I'm 74, on no medication, CAC score of 0 (=absolutely no blockage) and very active. Solid carnivore with lots of fat would make me not feel well too but a good balance like the Mediterranean diet fits my heritage. (5'4", 135 lbs, Irish and European decent) Intermittent fasting is fantastic too.
Hi Barbara. I am so sorry that the vegetarian lifestyle did not work for you but I am glad you found something that does. It sounds like you have developed a very healthy diet and are doing very well. I appreciate you sharing that and I hope you have a great new year!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Thanks Beth, I love your channel and am looking forward to following your journey. I have heard about many women who have enjoyed great health as life long vegetarians.
The Mediterranean “diet” is consistently voted best diet for women over 50! It’s mainly vegetarian, with some fish, chicken…rarely any red meat. Lots of olive oil and healthy fats. Everything fresh and whole! I’m doing Vegan this month for “Veganuary” and then will switch from Keto (my normal diet) to Mediterranean.
It's amazing how many long time vegans have shifted completely in the opposite direction with their diets (going zero plant food) after losing their health being vegan and then regaining their health, often in a relatively short time span. In the end though, everyone needs to figure these things out for themselves.
Same here, I was whole food plant based vegan for 8 years... My health started declining about 6 year mark. I finally started including meats about 6 mos ago and feeling better every day!
Happy New Year Beth😁👋🙏
Same to you!
I am happy you changed your diet. I was concerned. I have Dr. E’s book too on reversing heart disease. My mom, dad , and now sister have heart disease. I try or adhere to much of Dr E’s book, although I am eating about for ounces of fish or chicken per week. Outside of that I am plant based. Ans on no medication whatsoever. Also, recently quit my BHRT too. So glad you are sharing your story. Incidentally, my mother never changed her diet and since passed. I tried to get her to even walk. She was no cardio and definitely the SAD. 🦋
So sorry to hear about your mother Susan. Glad you are taking such good care of your own health. I have learned that we can’t help others if they don’t want to help themselves.
Thank you for sharing. I had a stroke July 20th. I would love to keep up with your information. Thanks so much.
I am so sorry to hear that. You also went through what I did. The good thing is though, we are both getting a wake up call instead of having something much worse happen to us. I hope you are doing well and I appreciate you following along with me on my channel as you and I are together in this. Neither one of us wants to have another stroke and we are being given the opportunity to make positive changes in our lives. I will be examining a lot of different health related behaviors and adding them to my life that are proven to reduce the risk of having another stroke. God bless you and I am so glad you came through it safely.
Greetings Beth! Well I have been vegetarian then vegan for almost 50 years, as you know. I do have some health issues that bother me including IBS C, but it is better than it was way back when I ate meat. I still have high ldl, but I don't know why. I will be interested to read some of the books you mentioned. I'm rooting for you Beth! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Love and blessings to you too Jean! Always great to hear from you. 💝💝💝
I subscribed to your channel after watching one of the derma roller videos but unsubscribed when I saw that you were eating a carnivore diet. I have resubscribed now that you are whole food plant based! Sorry it took a stroke for you to find it but happy to follow your WFPB journey!
Thank you so much for resubscribing. I look forward to having you here with me!
This is a life style I enjoy I look forward to this journey with you I could never get behind carnivore
You are a very smart woman, Carrie. Initially, I was pretty revolted by the idea of the carnivore diet but I guess I watched enough videos that I changed my ideas. I am so glad to be given a second chance at health.
I am so glad that you have gone Whole Food Plant Based. I was distressed when you said after your stroke you were sticking with Carnivore. I am 73 and have been WFPB for 10 years. I feel so grateful to be in good health. There are many wonderful CZcamsrs to follow, like Well your World, Chef AJ and the Esselstyns (of course.) Have fun on your new journey! PS. Check out Dr Greger's books including his latest one, How Not to Age.
Thank you so much for your great comment! That’s so neat that you have been Whole Foods plant-based for a decade! I actually just read how not to age and it is wonderful!
A lot of people i know that had the shot have had strokes heart attacks or blood clots. Not sure if this is the reason or not. Bless you.
God bless you too. In my case, I do not believe it was the Covid shot. I believe it was the terribly irresponsible diet I was on. The carnivore diet is very dangerous and I think I am a good indication of that. God bless you and thanks for watching.
Same here. My niece knows 7 people who died after the shots, all in their 50s. She was with a friend when he died so had to ring his wife with the tragic news. I know 2 who died after the shot and several who had heart attacks, weird cancers and brain fog too. Everyone I know who caught the bug had had the shots?????
So did you get the shot not sure you ever said?
I know 2 people that died after the shot@@jovickers5313
Hopefully not, since she wants no part of anything that hasn't been studied extensively, and there are certainly no long term studies..........
I am an ovo lacto vegetarian . I have had 5 kidney stones years ago, thought they were gone. But three years ago got another one near pandemic time! I went to ER and waiting 9 hours, then by that time, it , needed stent was infectious, then I read up and now on my vegetarian , ovo lacto and my my labs are great! I take a few supplements, no kidney stone. You have to find what is right with you. And nice to see your research is on it. ♥️
Thank goodness that you left that diet Beth. I unsubscribed when you went carnivore because I felt it was dangerous. My husband and I are happily WFPB for over 2 years and have reaped the benefits. I saw this video on my feed and have resubscribed upon hearing your changes. ❤😘🌸
Congrats Wanda! You are smart people!!
I love your message and videos. You are a great example of a woman who is beautiful inside and out! Good luck with your lifestyle changes. Food should be in moderation! High animal fat isn’t good.!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am really trying to follow the research now in my diet.
Check out the documentary The Blue Zones. It takes you to the areas in the world that have the most centenarians living a full active life and explores their diet and lifestyles. And Beth, as you addressed, having social connections was a huge factor. I applaud you Beth for taking your health into your own hands. Many people would just take the pills they prescribe and change nothing.
Thank you so much Claudia. You are very kind. Yes, social connections are really important. I have actually already seen the blue zones but thank you for sharing that as I think a lot of women here would love that documentary!
They literally herd sheep in the documentary and are frying cheese lol. I was WFPB vegan for 8 years and finally started adding meat and my health is improving every day since I finally added meat.
Hi Beth,
Glad to see your are doing great! Are you going to talk about the aneurysm find? I had an MRI last year because of migraines an incidental find I have a 3.5 aneurysm doctor told me I will need and MRI to keep and eye on it. I am scared of this. Take good care. Marissa
Hi Marissa. Yes, in fact, I just had the aneurysm surgery. The doctors really aren’t sure it had anything to do with the stroke, but having found it, there is a very slight chance each year that it could rupture, which would not be good. I plan to do a video and wish I mentioned the aneurysm and also the hole in my heart issue. God bless you. I hope you find a good surgeon if you would like to treat your aneurysm. I found a very good one at KU Medical Center in Kansas City. Dr. Ebersole.
Thank you Beth!
May God Bless you and that 2024 may be the year of healing all of us.
Take good care.
Marissa.
Beth, I'm glad you're doing much better. I cannot imagine eating meat only. I only eat a very small size portion of meat or fish for supper. I do eat dairy in small amounts. I intermit fast, only eat 2 times a day, so when I have my black coffee 1st thing in the morning, I do add a sprinkle of "real" salt in it to replace electrolytes. However, I am 67 and do not have high blood pressure. Baby aspirin is a little controversial for me. A while ago I started taking one every day and a week later started bruising for no reason. I do take fish oil, so I had to make a choice of which to let go, so for now it is the aspirin. Fish oil can be controversial also as far as thinning the blood. But it must have some effect because I am told to get off of it a week before any procedure.
Best of luck to good health going forward in this new year. God has us all in HIS hand. 💯!
You are so right! God does have all of us in the palm of his hand. Thanks for sharing your diet and ideas about health. It sounds like you are on a very good path. Taking a baby aspirin is a bit controversial unless you’ve had a stroke, as it is known to cause more bleeding in general. Since I had a stroke though, the doctor wants my blood to be thin so I avoid future blood clots. God bless you!
Happy, healthy New Year to you and yours as you follow the WFPB Lifestyle!!! I am 74yrs young and and became WFPB in 2022 and my LDL cholesterol also came down from 200 to 78 and am never constipated. I feel fantastic and plan to continue. Wishing you joy & peace!!!
Wow!! Your new cholesterol number is fantastic! Congratulations to you and thanks for sharing.
I tried the carnivore diet and my bad cholesterol more than doubled in just 2 months. My doctor was extremely shocked and I went off it, pronto! I felt foolish being a university educated person & falling for something that goes against all the long term research. I still do high protein, but I include ALL the whole food, healthy non-refined carbs and tofu, fish, chicken, egg whites, edemame, greek yogurt, protein powder....basically, the Mediterranean diet.
We really need to speak up and defend health and longevity over "thin" and "beautiful". When are we going to stop being so obsessed with body perfection to the expense of health...in the grave?
♥️🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing that. Amanda and I am so glad the Mediterranean diet is working so well for you. Many blessings to you!
Thanks you for sharing your journey. Can you eat that way with ibs?
Yes you can. My IBS on the Whole Foods plant-based diet is a bit worse than it was when I was on the carnivore diet but it is still not too bad. I have been on the plant-based diet for nearly 3 months and recently my IBS seems to be improving. I will make a video about that in the future. Thanks for asking.
Wow Beth, I'm speechless, you seem to be doing a complete 360? And going old school to boot. I personally think the Covid shot was much more irresponsible than to call the Carnivore diet irresponsible but that is just me and to just quit your HRT's? Well hope that works for you but I think you are going to notice a lot of things that are not necessarily going to be positive. Also be careful adding in so much aerobic exercise, along with your lifting , it can tend to raise your cortisol level and is harder on mature women that need more rests so that our body can repair itself. I do wish you well and will watch your journey but totally not convincing enough for me to change what i am doing. Feel too good to do that. And I am older than you.
Thank you so much for all of your comments. I really appreciate you caring enough to leave a comment and I wish you a happy 2024.💝
@vickinparadox I totally agree with you. Beth has done 180° turn around and I don't think she has all the facts and is acting prematurely. I have made a suggestion that she interview a carnivore expert like Dr. Ken Barry. You are also correct about the aerobic exercise and the Covid vaccine. If she took it, most likely her stroke was due to that and not from the carnivore diet. Even the pharmaceutical companies have recently admitted that the Covid vaccine could cause heart inflammation, and stroke among other things. She can check that info out on the CDC website.
Thank you very much for including the health section. Very important. If you have been receiving boosters for Covid, please do read about the possible side effects. I am not suggesting if they are good or bad and receiving them is a personal choice. Best of health for 2024.
Yes… a lots of people after even first 2 initial shots … not speaking about busters have a same effects… strokes.. heart problems… again everyone has a choice what to do or not to do but shots and specially the busters are high risk for everybody
My thoughts exactly.
We don't know who to believe anymore, carnivore, keto, vegan and so on. Hope you IBS survives the plant/grain base diet. For me, by cutting out grains, sugar and all the white stuff and doing Keto, it helped me get rid of my gut inflammation which was causing me lower back pain and other inflammation in my body. Good luck Beth
I am so glad that eating plan is working for you! Thanks for sharing that. Good luck to you too.
I agree with one thing you said here. We should take health advices from professionals, not youtubers with no background in medical science. So if you have qualifications, I will gladly listen to what you have to say.
You are so right about that, but I have no qualifications, except maybe the best one, that I was on a very heart unhealthy diet and I paid the price. What I do have is motivation because my life depends on my following the correct research to save my own life. God bless you and thanks for watching.
And listen to your own body
There are plenty of "professionals" on CZcams who have degrees/medical practices/careers. This platform is just an additional outlet they use to get information out. There is no discount on their knowledge from being on here versus not.
Good content
I’m so happy you switched to WFPB for your health 🤗
Thank you so much. I am pleased about that too.
The fact that you continue to grow and do your research is wonderful. Unfortunately, we live in a world that is now, more than ever, all about money. Even if we all had our own farms, the soil is depleted of minerals we need for healthy hormones, and the air and water are filled with toxic chemicals. I think being on Carnivore for a bit, to get rid of diabetes (or any metabolic disease) can be a good thing. It does not mean anyone needs to follow that plan (or any plan) for the long term. People switching to carnivore, vegan, and all plans in between, have probably given up processed foods (which is the real culprit) if they're being "clean". None of us need sugar or an Impossible burger on the daily. Also, most docuseries on health/food have their own agenda. Did you see "You Are What You Eat"? I felt it was marketing/trying to push the Impossible/Beyond Meat companies and Mykonos "cheese" rather than really trying to help people. There was some good information, but we still have to read between the lines and think for ourselves.
I hope this works for you! Personally, my IBS doesn’t allow me to eat plant based. I’ve tried so many times. I don’t eat tons of fat, but do eat lower carb and moderate amounts of meat, chicken and yogurt.
Read Fiber Fueled.
IBS is certainly tricky. I am still wrestling without a bit for sure. I am so glad you found something that works for you. Have a great new year!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You, too!❤️
@@weirdandlazy1 I’ve tried it all. I was actually clean vegan for a few years and couldn’t figure out why I was so sick. My IBS is 80-90% resolved as long as I eat an animal based diet. I really grateful. The pain, bloating and fear of leaving my house because I needed to be near a bathroom was miserable. I even ran fevers during the flare ups due to the inflammation. Unexpected other blessings of eating animal based have been reduced joint pain, and normal healthy weight without really trying. I know many thrive on plant based diets with lots of fiber. I’m just not one of those people. ❤️
I was vegan for seven years and developed IBS-D in year 6. I blame the excessive amount of greens I was eating ( 50/50 starch solution) Even after I went back to a ‘balanced’ diet IBS followed. I tried everything, probiotics, gut health yoghurt, fermented foods I read so many books on the topic but it got no better. I developed severe anxiety’s about leaving the house. In desperation I started carnivore and six weeks later no more IBS. That was seven months ago and I am completely cured of IBS thank God.
I can understand why Beth started a plant based diet after her stroke. It must have been scary. The ‘evidence’ for reversal of heart disease is not solid though. Many vegans have questioned it, even outspoken vegan Vegan gains. But I wish her all the luck ❤️
Beth, have a consult with Dr Barbie Taylor please
I would love to walk through a weeks diet with Beth ! what do you eat AM - Pm ?
Hi Judy., I will make that video for sure.
Beth you didn’t mention your glucose or A1C numbers since being on your vegan journey. Could you let us know if they spiked when you changed to vegan. New research suggests these numbers are what we need to measure in order to avoid heart disease and dementia problems in our later years. God bless you and keep you healthy
Thanks for your comments.
Hi Beth, I’m on the fence about going on Carnivore. I actually feel better now that I am eating more steak/protein. I LOVE butter (grass-fed A/2). Also, think about this, the heart is the hardest working muscle in the human body. What do muscles need? PROTEIN. But like I said, I am on the fence. This is only new thinking of mine as I have AFib and some/mild calcium in my lower descending as I throw off high cholesterol. I’ve spoken with Caldwell Esselsyn’s office and have his book. It is a great book. I look forward to your updates! Dr. Esselstyn says “no oil” but one of my cardiologists (I have 3: Interventional, EP, & HF)…the HF doctor who has a Wiki page tells me to go on a LOW INFLAMMATION diet called the Mediterranean Diet. This Dr. (Northwestern’s TOP Heart Failure surgeon) is highly renowned. Maybe look into Mediterranean Diet as well but this diet advocates Olive Oil whereas Esselstyn says no oil. Confusing…
Unfortunately, I did look into the Mediterranean diet, and while there are lower heart attacks and strokes on that diet, it does not reverse heart disease. Having had a stroke, I can’t take the chance. Please watch for overnight as I think it will help you make your decision.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Thank you, Beth, for your reply and information. I will be watching. Maybe I can do an Esselstyn diet with a small portion of meat every now and then but only filet mignon with no fat (leanest cut). I don’t like white meat. I do like some fish. But I LOVE BUTTER! How to give it up, I don’t know! Also, my Chads-VASC score is either 0 or 1. But I am on Eliquis due to the AFib. I am having a Catheter Ablation 2/14 to hopefully fix my heart and get off the meds. The biggest thing I am doing for myself is giving up mostly all sugar (not that I ate a lot before) but I am really dwindling it down. Sugar/bread/processed foods/etc. SUGAR is a HUGE Inflammation cause. And AFib is an inflammatory disease. All the best to you! Glad you are healing & glad you are researching diet and putting this in your vlogs. We appreciate it! Best, ANN
@@FiftyPlusBeauty autophagy reverses heart disease per Dr. Annette Bosworth. She is an internist and she just put out a video on this topic. She goes by Dr. Boz.
FYI: it is a myth that only meats are “proteins” …. The cows you are eating got their protein from eating the plants that I am eating … and all foods have some protein in them, yes, including salads, which can have a bunch of other nutrients. Oils give food flavor and extra calories, NOT nutrition. Forks over Knives is a great documentary and so is “What the Health”.
After you had your stroke you started talking about some youtube dr and I know I made some comment about listening to youtube drs versus your own dr. I stopped watching you because I felt you were going to stay on your diet and listen to some random dr. I'm so happy you went off that diet and looking into a more healthy way of eating. I do the Mediterranean Diet which looks alot like your latest diet. Its a lifestyle not a diet. I feel like I would love to watch you again because I feel like you are headed in the right direction for you health. I'm 73 and I workout and try to eat healthy all the time. Christmas was hard for me but I'm back at it and I'm happy with my weight and how I feel.
'
Hi Susan. Christmas is hard for sure! Lol! Thank you for all of your nice comments and explaining your healthy lifestyle. It sounds like you were definitely on the right path. I look forward to going on this health journey with you. You also look great by the way!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Thanks Beth. Looking forward to following your journey.
Praise the Lord! I am so happy God has put you on the right track with your food choices. Your meat diet really concerned me, not only because of your stroke, but your heart health and longevity. I'm so proud of you Beth and so relieved. I have been vegan/plant-based for about 13 years and as you've discovered, is the ONLY way to protect yourself from further strokes and potential heart disease. I have been following the following doctors and have read their books: Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Michael McGregor, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. John McDougall and Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, experts in cognitive brain health, and how to avoid Alzheimer's. You may also want to check out Chef AJ, a whole foods, plant-based professional chef, who also has her own CZcams channel and has had some of those doctors as guests. You are now on the right path and I couldn't be happier. I applaud your humility and transparency Beth, and your willingness to turn this around. God bless your continued health and healing journey.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I am so happy you have been on Plantbased for 13 years and are doing so well. I believe you are right that it is really the only way to protect ourselves from future strokes and heart attacks. God bless you and thanks again for sharing.
I’m so glad you are changing your diet. Moderation is best. Also do carnivores ever get any antioxidants which are mostly found in fruits and vegetables ? Antioxidants help retard ageing and improve skin etc.
I think you were right about everything you shared Jill. Thanks for leaving a comment! I really appreciate that.
Meat has everything that is needed for the body; the premise of carnivore is to return to the way of eating that are ancestors did; veggies and seeds and oil were introduced later.
Hi Beth! Have you heard anything about the fasting lifestyle? I have been watching vidoes from Mindy Pelz and I am fascinated! Science proven and actually heals the body, especially brain cells!
I will check that out! I have heard some good things about fasting, but I have not really had the opportunity to learn more about it yet. I will put that on the list for sure.
Dr. Mindy is wonderful!
I was waiting for this video and i m glad it came. God gave us plants, animal, fish, and i believe variety of the bounty He gave us is best.
I wish you the best of health!!! There is so much heart disease in my family that for me to be carnivore i may as well dig my grave and jump in. Retired nurse, by the way. Ive seen the results of these extreme diets. No, thanks.
Thanks so much for your very wise comments, Carol. I am so glad you are with me in a sensible heart healthy diet. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing your journey which will likely help so many others. Do you feel that your HRT contributed to your stroke - was it oral or transdermal?
The estrogen and progesterone I took were just soy-based plant creams that I rubbed on my skin. Personally, I’m not an expert, and I don’t know for sure, but I do know that Michael Gregor in his recent book how not to age did a whole chapter on HRT and he believes you should use it as a limited as possible because he does believe it increases the risk of strokes.
Hi Beth, What test did your neurologist have you take that showed the white pinpoint mini strokes that were going on in your brain? I ask because I'm concerned for myself.
I had an MRA of my head taken last year and I would like to know if this test would have shown these pinpoint type strokes?
Also, was he able to tell you how old or how recent the white pinpoints were? Could these be old or are they something new your brain is experiencing? Can they tell that from the scan or the test?
I hope you are able to answer my questions and I truly wish you all the best on your health journey. You're in my prayers. May the Lord lead you in what's best for your body.
Hi Lisa. The pinpoint mini strokes are kind of tricky. One neurologist said they were mini strokes, but a second neurologist said they were just a normal part of aging. When I attended Dr. Esselen’s course, however, he said the tiny white pinpoint marks are actually many strokes, and he is the one that showed me a brain overtime that was almost totally covered in the White mini strokes in that person had dementia. I can’t remember specifically what the brain scan was that showed the mini strokes. I believe it may have been an MRI.
Beth - you do what you believe is best for you. There is an 82 year old rancher named Maggie White that has been carnivore for 65 years. She looks like she is in her 40s. I find her interesting.🌹
and I bet she is full of energy and no pain in the joints! I know my red blood count went up after being border line anemic most of my life (vegetarian with fish)
@@Laura-rx9mpYes, she is in GREAT shape!
Her lifestyle sounds healthy as well
@@Laura-rx9mpAnd my red blood count is high, has been through my hole life, and I eat fish & greens and meat occasionally. We are all different, and one does not fit all.
Indeed. We must do what makes our bodies thrive. Of course health issues can affect any nutritional course. We do our best!
Beth… We do need some salt in our diet but not table salt that is highly processed and bleached. Check into Redman‘s real salt. Potassium and sodium work together.
We need 2300 mg and 4700 mg of potassium every day. Not enough sodium can actually make you feel weak, and your blood pressure could go too low and you could experience vascular, stiffness, and insulin resistance.
I went plant based diet three weeks ago. For about same reasons as you did. To avoid strokes and reverse heart disease that would otherwise progress. I havent seen much of BP reduction yet but apparently it took three months for you.
Hi Beth, I am glad that you have changed your diet. I remember seeing your video where you were going carnivore and being really concerned for you. My partner always ate a lot of meat and did weight training, very little cardio and he got several mini strokes and now has dementia. I've been plant based most of my life (even before it was trendy!) but I have had times where I've eaten meat/fish/chicken. I think it can be included as part of a healthy diet and helps stabilise blood sugar. I don't think it has to be ALL OR NOTHING - small amounts of good quality protein should be ok. However, this plant-based diet with lots of veg and whole-grains seems to work best for me. I have IBS also, but I think it's the sugar I eat, the cold weather & stress that sets it off most of the time. And maybe a huge meal with loads of fiber is also not the best. But as you know IBS varies - one day you get away with everything, another day the smallest thing can affect the gut. Congratulations on sorting out the stroke and doing an 'about-turn' in your diet, also not being afraid to admit you were wrong by following YTers advice, even if they were doctors. Happy New Year Beth and good health xoxo
I am so sorry that your partner had many strokes, eating a high meat diet. It sounds like you were very healthy and that moderation is working for you. I would’ve tried moderation, except for the fact that I already had my first stroke. That information made me search for a diet that would actually reverse heart disease. to his own though, and it sounds like what you were doing is really working for you. Happy new year to you too!
I am vegan for my health, for the planet and for God's cherished creations the animals.
Bless you on your journey to living a kinder and healthier life!
I remember that you did a video where you said that many of your girlfriends also had strokes. I asked if they were on HRT because that is one of the many side effects. I myself am on HRT, and that got me wondering if I should stop. I will be listening closely to see if you've learned anything new. Thanks for giving so much information so that it might help others. 🌼
Yes. I have two friends that had strokes. I plan to keep studying HRT. I will let you know what I discover.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Thank you !
