Thank you for sharing your story, i started adding flaxseed and chia seeds to my diet and my health has changed. I had itchy skin for a year especially on my face and within 5 days my skin has changed no more itchy skin.❤

I just started my 2 TB a day flax seed regimen yesterday, 1-29-2021 Primarily to reduce my blood pressure but I would not mind less itchy skin, thicker hair and stronger nails. Wish me luck.

Hi how’s the blood pressure doing🙂

Love flax meal, kefir, protein powder, chia and a little honey, fresh berries! Best snack!

Hello ma'am. I found out about flax seed on google but your great video has really educated me more about it. I have to tell you one of the first benefits I have noticed within two days of getting a tablespoon of ground flax seed in my diet was that the nerve pain in my feet is much better. Im sure the other things you spoke of will come along before long. Thank you so much for your video. Really enjoyed your energy!

I've discovered your channel accidentally and now I'm learning a lot! Thank you for your wonderful videos!

Thank you Sophie for your great advice and details info about Flaxseed. I’m very passionate about Nutrition so I’m so glad I’ve found your channel and I’ve just subscribed now.

Yes!!!! TMI but when I went to the bathroom it was once every three days or once a week and it was rabbit pellets. Omg ! Following you and the plant based way of life ...... I’m finally regular 😌🤗 I feel so much better. Thank you

Although I am not a vegetarian, I did enjoy your video. As I have just purchased some brown whole flax seeds and had no idea how to prepare them for eating, I looked at several videos, but yours was by far the best and nice and easy to understand. Thank you!

Great video. Thanks for all the information. I am going to include flaxseed in my diet. And by the way what a great way of presenting it. So calm and to the point. Not beating about the bush at all. Would check your other videos too. Thanks again.

I had breast cancer in 2016, im just starting these this week

I found this so interesting! I've been adding whole flax to my kefir and berries not realising that they were passing straight through my body!!! I need to buy a grinder ....fast! Thank you xxxxxx

This is awesome information! Going to buy some, whole, last’s longer! 👏

Love your voice! I don't think I could start my day without flax in my breakfast!

I appreciate you replying back. I didn't know this. Take care.

Thank You! so much Sophie for all this great information, you are a very SMART woman indeed. I can see why you are so healthy. I love your videos, they have so much to offer everyone. I know what to do now! God Bless! Karen from Canada,

Hi.. Can v dry roast whole seeds before grinding them?

I saw a video by a different lady who said ground flaxseed is already going bad after just 5 or so days so if people get ground flax seed it's potency is already diminished substantially because of the time it takes from being ground down to getting it to the store shelf. She talked about it being transported and warehoused and whatever else in less than ideal conditions. Hence, she's saying that by the time you buy ground flax seed it's probably already diminished a lot so the only sure way to consume flax seed is to buy the whole seeds and then grind them down yourself. What say you Sophie?

Thanks, I’ve been eating four tablespoons on ground flax in my oatmeal five days a week for thirty years. I have good cholesterol and BP. It aids in digestion also, if I go off of it for a week, things slow down and get scattered if you know what I mean. Nice lady, video and channel.

Thank you so much. I had no idea that flax seed expired so quickly. You are so wonderful. I appreciate your work.

I use flax seed in my fruit smoothies every day, and in salads.

Thank you for your message! I'm wondering about the activation of flaxseeds because I've been using flaxseed meal for sometime and I came to know now that they will be oxidised if I cook with them 😭😭

You did not mention the great ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) which is one of the best Antioxidants there is. To stay beautiful longer and prevent aging.

I love the tip about putting flax in after the smoothie is made to avoid the goopy texture. It never occurred to me that was why my smoothies had that certain texture after awhile.

Thanks, I've been dissy with my blood pressure. Hopefully this will help me.

I’ve seen so many videos on flax seed on my research and all experts recommend not to buy the ground flax seed because it will be oxidated by the time you ingest them.

Hi Sophie. Thanks again for all the information you share. I use to buy the pure ground flaxseed from Costco but then changed to flaxseed with goji berries, pumpkin seeds etc mixed in. What do you think? I enjoy watching your videos and tips you share. Lots of love xx

Do the flax seed microgreens have same beneficial result like the seeds . I do not like the taste of flax seeds, but can use the microcreens!

Hi , do you need to roast it before you grind it?

Very informative presentation. Thank you. The benefits to women are great. However, do men need be concerned with the phytoestrogens? Or, do they have a balancing effect on hormones overall? I take two tbsp daily to prevent constipation, and it's very effective at normalizing my gut.

Thanks for this. I have been on a Keto diet for some time but would like to go vegan. I enjoy cooking but would like to make up a meal substitute like Huel but keto. Could flax and hemp meal be a basis for this? I note that you state that you should only eat two tablespoons a day of flax so maybe I should consider hemp or chia for this? Thinking, shakes, porridge, flatbreads etc. Many thanks. J

Question? A dear friend of mine Diagnosed with pALB2 breast cancer over 2 years ago and was told that she can not have anything with chia, flax, soy, pea protein are endocrine disrupters. Her cancer was hormone feed. What are your thought on this?

Wild caught marine collagen is my weapon of choice for good health... Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It's found in our tendons, ligaments, skin, muscles, bones, and blood vessels, and it plays a vital role in maintaining our overall structural integrity. It also contains 18 amino acids. You can't go wrong with this type of collagen

You soak them to soften them and get the oil to leak out of them over night. You would be saving your digestive system that process. I've been doing that for years. I put the softened flaxseed, and the water they were soaked in, in the blender.❤
