Similar issues, my pain was in both of my first knuckles, excruciating pain, not constant, some days worse than others, and knee pain when going downstairs. I went plant based and within a month the knuckle pain had stopped. The knee pain stopped after several months and the loss of 50 pounds. I was never a big dairy eater, for me I believe it was oil, which is also inflammatory. If I have a cheat day or two consuming unhealthy vegan comfort foods, the pain in my knuckles will speak to me within 2-3 days which is enough to get me back in line eating healthy whole food plant based meals. My only regret is not changing my lifestyle sooner! I love the creativity involved in making wonderful vegan meals. I am still in awe of how I make the most delicious cheese sauce out of oatmeal and nutritional yeast every week!😊

I felt so good, I have never looked back. I do, however, eat some fish. The best plant I can recommend for plant based lifestyle is the "Purslane" plant. Technically a weed, it is loaded with DHA and ALA. It has more omegas than salmon, and better for you than spinach. I have a pot in my garden and eat it regularly.

Two main things that are vital is limiting your sodium intake and following your fluid intake. Most people refuse those and make recurring trips to the ER. My heart function is now low normal, far better than that first night. Just don't worry. It cuts into your sleep. We only heal while we sleep.

And I feel fantastic .. so I will continue until things change and then I will make adjustments again, if needed.

You were so lucky to have such a intuitive dog. Life saving & changing for you. Those tomatoes are so beautiful. 🍅 I love fresh fruits & veggies, especially when they're in season. The one thing about the fall season I love so much, aside the lovely colors, is all the scrumptious squashes. I am not plant based, but started adding more veggies & fruit to my diet many years ago, & squashes became one of my favs. Really enjoy stuffing them with all kinds of goodies.

I have been mainly plant based for 2 1/2 years ago. I do break the diet when I travel and when I occasionally go to restaurants. I found after 5 weeks my allergies cleared up completely and after about 3 or 4 months I noticed that my anxiety levels dropped tremendously. Plant based diet is amazing.

Hello Gail. In 2001 I had a 21 pound…(yes, 2 1) tumor cyst in my ovary. The Drs said the core of it was pre cancerous but nothing to be worried about. I never thought to look at diet for it. But now that it’s 23 years later and I am 59 years old I think about my body fuel intake. I love good beautiful foods and have discovered the joy of veggies and fruits. I do still eat meat and some dairy. But I have been having nudges of ditching the dairy. I am loving all the content of your channel. 😊

So many of us found plant based living due to health issues. My husband's extremely high cholesterol and high blood pressure dissappeared 3 month into a plant based diet. Weve been plant based at keast 10 years and we'll never go back. Thank you for your story and your channel.

It's never too late to change and I am going to try. Thanks for taking all the jargon out and making it sound fun and easy to do. 😊

I'm 58 and most of my life slim until last year or so. I made the change to mostly plant based less than a month ago and have lost 8 lbs. so far. I am averaging 2 lbs a week. But weight loss aside i feel so GOOD and that is what I am really after. Getting and feeling healthy. I no longer have junk food, proceed food cravings. I really enjoy the meals I'm eating and look forward to them. I crave them now. I would stress eat sweets at work. Now I pass them up and do not feel deprived. I get what my body needs from the real living food I'm eating now. I dont have head aches, brain fog, odd body pains, mood swings, night sweats, I called them meat sweats. I started walking 30 minutes a day and now I need to walk, meaning I have so much energy my body wants to get up get out in nature and walk. I love that time outside, it resets me. Having a variety of you tubers that have this same weight loss, plant based, encouraging meal ideas ...lifestyle is what motivates me encourages me, has helped me. I dont have a lot of support from friends or family. I actually get sabatoged from them. But I'm staying focused and see what they are doing and i will not allow them to trip me up anymore. Keeping a daily journal of what I i eat, how much i moved and notes about how i feel, any changes I would make and why, recipes i find to try... These things, God and you mighty friend have helped me. Many thanks for helping me get my health back. I have a ways to go but i know i will get there!

My weight is maintained effortlessly while eating until I'm completely satisfied (yes, sometimes I stuff myself), I never diet but I don't eat processed/ fast foods either - also I'm eating more organic soy foods (edamame & tempeh) and cut out added oils. I exercise 5-6 days per/wk and sleep 7-9 hours per/night. I meditate and hydrate. I feel good almost always. My bloods tests are good.

We’re not carnivores. The literature regarding the benefits of a whole foods plant-based diet is solid and clear.

I regained the ability to walk by going vegan, which was in 1999. I’d been told in 1994 that I’d be in a wheelchair within a few years, and I was actually housebound. I went vegan partly for the animals, but mainly out of desperation. And it helped a lot! I still have chronic health conditions, but I’m in better health now than I was thirty years ago.

I love your channel so very much! I have 2 questions at the moment - were you eating only plant based when you were overweight in 2021? And is there anything you struggle with not eating? Some junk food item? Or how do you not give into temptation of something you know is unhealthy?

Thanks for sharing. I went vegan for animals but it also helped me with chronic back pain. My endomitriosis got better too. Its so absurd that adverts tell women to drink milk for oseteporosis and bone health but it dosent actually help. My mum had rumthoid arthritus her fingers were defomed and she switcged to a plant based alkaline diet and her arthritis went away completley.

❤❤❤

I'm a carnivore, and believe meat heals, but I enjoy your channel and your story~cheers for continued good health!

I agree with you.😊 I like to keep a vinegar bottle next to the sink. And spray off and clean my vegetables very well. Some have chemicals on them. And once you roast them... In an air pot, the stove or oven... They're just like candy, to me😊

Have you written a book? Im just entering perimenopause and could really do with some advice on general things, what to expect, diet, Natural remedies that could help, instead of prescription medication x love watching your videos ❤

Yummy! 😋❤

Glad it works for you. I tried going vegan for about 6 months. I felt very weak and loss muscle mass.

It takes a lot of effort and a very diverse plant diet to thrive. Not everyone can find the time to research enough to do this. So my message is to eat more plants and a varied whole food diet.

What kind of vegan did you do. If you eat plenty of fruit and veg pulses i sprout them hemp seed you should have energy. You might feel weak while you are detoxing. I was mostly raw vegan 40 years. My friend too. She looks amazing 60. She looks 30. She also lived on fruit for years did water fasting on top but now eats once a day but more varied now raw vegan plus pulses . She tried carnivorev nce 10 years. It did not do anything so she went back to raw vegan . I have harmes my healtg in other ways though. Thru medications and alcohol for anxiety due to trauma and s cide attempt in past

You need to base your meals on starchy foods, if you do that you'll always feel full and do well. Read The starch solution by Dr John McDougall.

Thank you for sharing your journey 😀🙏 Do you consume oil and what do you suggest to get enough iron & calcium ?

So glad I found you I’m so interested in learning more is plant based the same as raw vegan xx

😊

New subscriber.. good info… but I’d like to mention that a whole food plant based dieter doesn’t need to worry about getting all their nutrients. A standard American diet is way more deficient in these things, and they don’t worry about that. Just wanted to mention that because a new person might be discouraged by that thought. Sounds a little “you must be careful or there will be something wrong”. Not saying you meant it that way, but could be interpreted that way and scare people off. I’m a biologist.

I went plant based in Dec. 2023. Because of severe allergies I am unable to eat any canned , boxed except for organic rice.oats , flour and pasta, I cook everything from scratch and freeze ingreds. so a few days during the week I don't have to do anything other then thaw something. I do also cook for my husband who will eat vegies and salads but also small amounts of chicken and lean pork. I am unable to use commercially prepared plant or almond milks because of the thickeners added so I do use small amounts of lite cream in my ooffee. I can't say I've ;ost weight but yes I do feel better all over and actually sleep better also. I too am a hugh fan of the golden cherry tomatos. Thank you for sharing your life. Be Well

I'm a newbie plant based and look forward to future recipes. You mentioned a dehydrator, which one do you recommend?

I wish you much success in turning your experience into a business. I FAILED because a) I'm not great at social media, had too many haters in my DMs, and too many people FEARFUL of what others what their partner, peers, colleagues would say. I am also not a recipe creator but tested hundreds of recipes and tweaked them or improved them. But success comes if you can do all x3 successfully. So i drooped the while helping others for a living thing. It was exhausting trying to battle through helping those who said they were ready but weren't. Never sold a course or coaching in 18 months! So, I wish you a lot of success. I really do.

Thank you for sharing your inspiring Doggy knew, butternut pumpkin story!!! Your honest Simplicity is Stunning 🤗 Im DF GF, artifical Sugar free (we know fruit/vegies have natural complex sugars) and still eat some fish and organic chicken. Prefer to be 'flesh-free' and still not trusting i will GAIN weight without these. Im UNDER weight 😮

Fructose, fruit sugar is the very worst sugar, believe it or not.

💖💯 I love plantbased. I found green veges serves me well moreso than carbs eg. pumpkin/buttersquash, im okay with sweet potato or kumara as we call it in New Zealand. Love fruit, legumes and nuts too. Glucose Goddess suggests having veges for breakfast with protein next then carbs then something sweet during the day. It helps keep the glucose spikes balanced and helps with sugar cravings. It is working well for me. I now need to fast more regularly. Thanks again 🤗💖💯💖🤗
