Every doctor I have ever posed the question of "Is it possible to change
/clean up my diet & fix health issues?", has laughed & said "once you have a disease - you have that disease for life - take the medication."
Good for you for figuring it out & healing yourself.
Thank you. And same- I think it’s rare that chronic illness is reversed with our typical lifestyle the way they are so doctors don’t think it’s necessarily possible. The great thing is - it is possible in many if not most cases.

Thank you. And yes, the same for me. I think that is what they are taught in medical school and in most cases, people don’t heal or reverse disease on the typical western protocols and the standard diets and lifestyle so they are often “proved” correct.
I have had RA for. 30 years and started the whole plant based diet in 2021. I am about 85% whole plant based but I am still taking drugs and it it horrible. I can’t get off the sugar; it makes my joint scream.
It can be so hard. And sometimes we need specialized tweaking.
The medicine are also very bad for your bones. I know that now .
Yes, many are harmful to bone and organ health. Luckily we can often heal both using diet and lifestyle modifications.
This video was great!! Her story is one of many reasons why I do not go to conventional doctors for my health. If a doctor doesn't check my diet or behaviors/habits before they write a prescription, I don't get it filled. If it's trauma care that's one thing, but for maintenance, it's best to check your foods, sleep, vitamin & mineral deficiencies, hormones, etc. It was almost always my food choices that caused my joint issues.
Isn’t it crazy and cool that we have most of the power to control our well-being? I do wish more doctors would advocate for a healing environment and lifestyle modifications before giving (often dangerous) meds to mask symptoms. Eating healthy Whole Foods have no side effects. So why not implement that first?
At 40 years old I started waking up with a few stiff fingers every day. I asked God for an answer and then randomly watched What the Health on Netflix. I decided to stop eating meat and dairy that day and in seven to ten days my finger flexibility was back to normal. The arthritis has never returned and I am now 54 years old.
That is so wonderful to hear! I love stories like this. Isn't it crazy and amazing how just making a dietary or lifestyle change can make such a difference?
@@laurielandry indeed! I wish all my friends and family could understand.
@@mistysmith5392me too!! ❤
Great testimony! What willpower!!👍🏽 Thank you❤️!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. It takes willpower, motivation, support, knowledge, trial and error, and a strong reason why. Are you whole food plant based/vegan too?
Most vegans I know in the past ate potato chips.
Potato chops or French fries- classic vegan junk food.
The vegan health bundle ends today. Get yours before it’s gone. Link in subscription notes. 😃
Thankyou both amazeing stories ❤
Thank you. And thank you for watching. Wishing you so much health.
i have cut out everything out of my diet including coffee and milk organic, i ate meat yesterday and the pain in my knee was through the roof, i will start vegan because a few years ago i did the vegan diet for over three months and i remember that one day i felt no pain in my body, so there's got to be something bad in our shop meats that are making us sick with arthiritus
Meat and other animal products are highly inflammatory so it it makes sense that your knee and body pain is worse while eating those and better when not. I hope you can continue to eat the way your body feels best.
What an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Thank you. And thank you for watching. We live spreading the info about the power of healing foods and healthy lifestyle. Check out the vegan health bundle if you haven’t already. Link in show notes.
Amazing story Laurie!
When your rheumatologist said "There's no correlation between eating sugar and joint pain" sooo many people just stop there..and sadly stay in pain. I am so grateful for you not stopping and getting to the root cause!
And Chef AJ it's so amazing you inspired her- thank you!❤️ Absolutely love this topic and thank you both for spreading this info!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤
I had to substitute the dairy for a good while before I could start doing without.
After that when I went back to dairy it tasted terrible to me!😂
That’s good to know that it tasted terrible when you went back to try dairy. The thought of it makes me a bit grossed out. And yeah many people use non dairy alternatives to help them transition. There are some healthy, oil free cheese recipes in the vegan health bundle that I’m liking forward to trying- on sale right now until March 10th.
Yes I am since around 2019 but I need to work on the unhealthy snacks. 😐
Unhealthy snacks are always the struggle right? I love most vegan junk food but when I get started it’s difficult to stop so I try to stay away as much as possible. If you need tips reach out 😊
Great story! Can anyone recommend a “healthy” vegan bar please? Thank you!
What do you mean by bar? Like a granola type bar? There are a few recipes for healthy snacks, on the go treats, protein balls, and bars in the vegan health bundle (link in show notes).
@@laurielandry yes, thank you!
❤thank you
