@@doctordutchFor ketosis you just need a diet with no carbohydrates, and can eat as much as you want. Check your labels, but for the most part that's meat, cheese, eggs, and a limited number of veggies, just NO carbs. Seriously check your labels, carbs are in everything. Keep in mind on this diet muscle building exercises should be avoided as it can damage your organs. Done properly, you will lose weight FAST. consult a doctor for sure.
I was at the extreme end of Hypertension and a little over a year ago, I switched to a Carnivore diet. I was off my BP meds in just over a week, also wiped out an autoimmune disorder I had suffered with for over 10 years. I'm 60 and I haven't ever felt this good. The bonus weight loss and muscle tone/growth has to be seen to be believed. Cheers and good health to you and your family, Shawn.

Wow I haven’t seen that Volcanic Ash bag in years. I used to freelance for them and actually designed that entire bag, artwork and everything else on it. Neat surprise! Good luck Shawn
Simple life Alaska has some great suggestions for chicken food! Also to keep egg production optimal they have a heater that burns one gallon a day! Something to think about Shawn
I thought my chicken coop build was overkill, but your chicken pagoda is like a chicken palace! Yeah when you raise your own you know what the quality of food is, having access to grass free ranging and bugs and quality grains makes for huge yolks high in omegas and great taste!
Agreed! It looks like something a wife would find off of Pintrest! My husband is a 40-yr general contractor and he tells those wives what those special projects will wind up costing, and they are shocked.
Be sure you put your fencing deep into the ground so that predators cannot dig under the fencing...i had to part with my hens when a weasel set up shop under my coop. they can wipe out your whole flock in a day. Good luck Sean!
I think it’s freaking fantastic that you have learned so much about nutrient rich foods, and your new way of eating has helped you so much, more people should do that, and I’m interested in getting AG1, I would also like to eat better. My BP is high, along with my cholesterol. It’s time to make a change. Thanks for very good advice!
I really hope you do a follow-up with your parents and their body's response to ag1 I've been looking at it for a long time couple of years at least but as a senior I've never seen anyone else that's my age take it, so I would be really interested. It sounds like your parents and myself are kind of in a similar situation as far as our food needs and health go. So please do a follow-up with them and let us know.
My brother p!anted a big patch of comfery close to his pen. The chickens love it and their eggs show it. Comfrey roots go to about 10 feet deep and survive drastic conditions. Their leaves pack a load of minerals and nutrients and I make a healing ointment from them. The leaves are a great addition to garden soil.
I have been on carnivore diet for 14 months now, The Best decision for my health! Make sure you get your daughters to eat more animal meat based meals…lower the carbs! Makes a big difference! It can be trying at times, but so worth it! May God continue to shine His light upon you, your wife & daughters! 🙏🏻🥩👍🏻
Shawn your transformation is obvious. Well done. I started the carnivore diet 3 weeks ago and trimmed off 12 pounds in that time. My visceral fat has diminished, liver mound almost gone, face thinner and my mind much clearer. Cut booze out and just on meat and eggs.
66 yrs old and just ordered AG1 perhaps when it kicks in I will feel like riding bike again. The pedal type. I work full time in a paper warehouse so I get a lot of lifting but no energy when I get home. Thanks for your review I trust you and I bet I'm not alone on that. That's the fanciest looking chicken coop I have ever seen. Thanks again for all the videos
One of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much is that it is rare that I don't learn something new. It looks like your chicken coop is going to be a work of art! Can't wait to see the finished building. 🐔
I really enjoy watching just about every video you put up! Adapting is how everyone ended up being here.. imagine what our families in the last 200 or 300 years had to do to make it possible for all of us!! Adapting is huge!!! Thank you..🌸
Shawn I looked into AG1 for my family. My concern is the 18mcg per gram of Lead. The FDA states that a small amount of lead isn't necessarily harmful in products such as these. However, I will have to do more research before considering using AG1. Thank you.
I’m glad you’re talking about AG1 because I hear it on 4 of the TH-cam channels I’m currently following and not one of them explained what exactly it will do for you as you have described. The rest of them just say it gives them energy bla bla bla. I feel better about giving it a try listening to you. We’ll see. Your videos are really made well and I thank you for your in-depth discussions of sustainable and changing lifestyle. (Yes even men can change their minds). Bring on the chickens!
More important than ever to have a good diet and supplement well. Your physical change is obvious,looking good. I'm 72 with reasonable diet and supplement well. Even with that it is not enough. Now in summer along with work, I swim close to half a mile every day to keep the respiratory/circulatory system functioning well. I'm lean and have similar complexion as Shawn. The coop design is fantastic! Impressive!
Right there with you on the quality of our food. We got a gift certificate for a steakhouse, and I really do not want to use it. I started using volcanic dust on my garden as well. Composted leaves also add minerals to the soil. Had to refill my raised beds this spring. Put in a layer of composted leaves with composted herbicide free horse manure over the top. You should see how well my strawberries are making a come back. Went keto this spring and my blood pressure dropped down to normal as well.
Shawn, this is and has to be the best commercial I ever watched! Full stop. You endorse a product and perfectly explained why! Not only explained but showed and informed me why and how it all fits together. The bit about the farmers growing crops in worn down soil and only replenishing the plants needs for growing it is overlooked by all except the farmers themselves!!! Well done.
Shawn, I had noticed you looked leaner and better. I'm going to try the AG1 drink and hope I get similar results which I need very much. If I'm successful which I think I will be I'm going to buy it for my brother for Christmas or sooner. Thank you for the health tip.
I've seen lot's of other groups swear by A G 1. It's a shame that it costs so much. Shawn it's good to hear that you're feeling better and improving in your health daily. It's definitely something to check into.
Shawn, I ordered AG1 and received it yesterday. I started it today. Wow, energy! I fractured my back 10 years ago. Low bone density. Im anxious to see how this goes. My name is June
Rhode island red chickens are the best they lay lovely brown eggs theres nothing lije 2 soft boiled eggs and hot buttered toast with a pot of tea and maybe some sausages for breakfast yum they taste so good compared to white eggs to me they taste like an egg should taste you look wonderful fit and healthy thats important as you get older best regards to you and your family loved the pics of the owls my late husband raised an orphan baby owl my husband didn't know you have to feed them crickets to give them calcium in thier wings so they can fly he never did learn to fly he was a great horned owl
Aroha from New Zealand🐥 As an avid bantam-aunty, so glad to see chickens “gracing” your self-resilience🐣 I have just started making bio-char in simple metal can retorts, in my woodburner - it works! When activated, this is charcoal-gold, keeps on delivering micro organisms back to gardens for years. And you are sitting on a goldmine of wood for bio-char making (in your idle moments🤣). Gratitude for your channels, they got me and my vagus nerve through the tough NZ lock-downs and go freedom convoys/protests! 🤞🌹🙏
I'm 75 this year and I'm doing AG1 also since February. Let it replace my coffee. Blood pressure is down but not to the point I can quit the meds yet. Like the taste and the ease of using it. Really like the travel packs and the convenience of that. Feel a lot better as the main benefit. My joints don't hurt as much as they used to. Keep going Shawn. Love ur channel.
So we have 200 hens on pasture. Over 400 feet from the house in mobile tractors with flexinet moveable solar electric fence. Biggest loss can be from raptors. 2 or 3 roosters with the hens really help. When they see a bird overhead the roosters put out a call and you can see all the hens run to be under the chicken tractors. The rooster guards save us lots of birds. Ditto with the bears and bobcats. Roosters let the hens know when danger is present. There is a purpose for all animals in nature, including the good old rooster.
You're wise to be remineralizing your soil. The material you are using is Spanish River Carbonatite mined near Cartier, ON, about one hour drive from my home. It's difficult to source the product in stores now since Home Hardware can no longer carry it, but it is exported worldwide. My solution was to start buying it by the tonne (I have connections :-)) and reselling to folks in my area (Greater Sudbury). I also use it as a prime ingredient in Steve Solomon's Complete Organic Fertilizer (from his book The Intelligent Gardener) which I also market, with his endorsement. Steve is an expat American living in Tasmania. Shawn, if you read this, I highly advise you use a Melich III soil test, through Logan Labs in the USA - not available in Canada. The chicken coop is AWESOME.
That’s a beautiful owl feeder you are building! 😀 Kidding. Congrats on your new diet. And seriously, the coop is really nice. Seems to have a Japanese feel to the roof lines.
In the NC mountains, farmers grow corn for a chicken farm and then use the chicken poop to fertilize. They get the highest yields in NC for their category of corn every year.
One change you forgot to mention is the change in your physical appearance. You have regained your stellar appearance you had in your earlier videos....Sauna first use video anyone?? Thanks for all the effort you have put into your channel, especially your creativity and technical prowess in your videography, editing and choice of pics of the beauty around you.. I can honestly say that I respect the way you live your life. Your example means more than you know to very many of your "Old" followers.
You have accomplished SO MUCH since the last I watched your vids. Everything looks fantastic! WOW You guys have a beautiful home!😊 AG1 sounds great. I need something like this, and might just have to break down and purchase some….thanks for the tip! Love LOVE your home you did yourself proud,
At 53, I encountered a health issue that led me to consider retiring by 60. Starting my savings later in life meant my funds weren't enough for a comfortable retirement. After doing some research, I opted for an alternative strategy, as ETFs and bonds alone wouldn't meet my needs given the limited time. This decision resulted in $3 million in returns by the time I retired. I’m living a simpler life, free from financial worries, and grateful for the steps I took
when results remain consistent, its not considered luck. research was the challenge till it led to Emily Ava Milligan, a top fund manager, her strategy made 210k into this and counting
Started the carnivore diet 2 months ago and it's been an eye opener, all health problems gone and the visceral fat , i'm now the size I was in my twenties.
I live in Texas, we were at a place lot of trees , a table .so we stoped to eat. It was late ,I can't walk good so my son drove his truck up close .when we were getting ready to leave. I guess our truck made some noise there was a huge owl he took off flying just over my head. His wings spand looked like a 747 . It took off scared the heck out off us. It was a white owl. I have never seen such a big one. Beautiful bird I wish I had taken a picture. I was too shocked to think about it.
I have chickens and rabbits . Under the chicken roost I put leaves and straw and the chickens will scratch through it all year long so that it turns to some really good fertilizer for my garden . I mix the rabbits droppings with it . I’ve done that for two years now . My garden is getting most of the organic stuff it needs . I have a mulch bed where everything that’s scraps goes into it . I mix some of that in my garden as well . All the chopped up corn stalks , pea vines , potato vines and stuff like that goes in my mulch bed all year to be put in the garden in the early spring . That’s all I put in my garden for fertilizer .
Hi Shawn, first off I'd like to say awesome chicken coop. Looks like a entrance to a church, awesome work. Now on your diet. Your seeing benefits because you already work hard and eat very lean meat. The AG1 is not the reason, you are. Everyone can't or won't work at your extreme level of endurance day in and day out. You have the ability to, do to your lifestyle. I applaud you for this. Anyway Take Care Now
When you travel in a camper for a long period of time just being off your schedule can take the life out of you. Getting back home and having a nice tan makes a difference in you appearance too.
Come to my house and I’ll show you a backyard garden that I keep adding too every week. Hoping to have a big harvest before I plant the winter vegetables. I have mint in various places of the yard to combat rats, which has been working. Propagating as I go also. Then in my front yard, this will be medicinal plants like chamomile, ginger, garlic for now. Researching other things I can plant in my climate, which is zone 10b. We would love to get chickens, but zoning in my urban area is not too fond of that.
I used to use Azomite rock dust in my plant mix, Azomite rock dust, ground egg shells and a little epsom salt (magnesium) with my kitchen scraps would go into my worm bins. Chickens would love those earthworms from when you change the worm bins. Eggs would be very rich. That AGM product shows promise! Good idea! I've been taking Cardio Miracle, which isn't as natural, but really good quality.
I’ve had chickens for a few years now and just one of the great things about having them is the poop is fantastic on my garden! Another boon to having them is that they’re always ready to help me by eating the leftovers when I clean the refrigerator out, lol. They love scraps! For mites etc… I use First Saturday Lime in my coop and run. None of the dozens of chickens I’ve ever had have had varmints on them. I swear by the Lime and it’s safe for my cats and dogs too, though I don’t use it one them.
Shawn, you look fantastic. I think I'm going to try that AG1. I used to drink something just like it when I was younger and it worked great. I forget why I stopped.
I been on AG1 for several years plus a scoop of Cretan, sometime Mancha 1st thing in the morning ! 65 yrs old just did a full physical with panels ? Doctor stated “ you’re one of the lucky ones” ? Actually I pin that on my faith! However I say that to state I am a full time carpenter ( finish ) work 5/6 days a week do all my chores ect.,. Ppl better wise up to what they eat and eat too much ! Anyway good content !
The soon coming years are going to be very difficult. I'm so glad Shawn is leading the way for homesteaders to get back to health. We're going to need it very soon. Say, in November.
*Good on you Shawn! Daily healthy diet plus exercise are on your side, and should you want to go further, try the intermittent fasting as well with a small window for consumption within a 24-hr period. Take it from a former diabetic2 with high blood pressure and cholesterol, you would feel much younger and energetic with that integrated approach! Love your channel, so inspirational!*
We have a backyard flock for eggs and meat for the same reasons. Only use organic feed and free range on our property, with 10 hens and one rooster our feed cost is about $4/ dozen but they are a large breed with quite large eggs. Is it worth it? Yes, we know what they eat and they are excellent gardening tools and fertilizers. I use deep wood chip bedding in the greenhouse for the winter which gives us great mulch for garden pathways and compost base.
Like weight gain! I had a heart attack in 2017 and within a month of being on their meds, I became this incedible hulk. It is awful. The doctors will tell you that blood pressure meds will not do this to you, but that is BS. I was thin all my life.
Awesome barred owl footage and nice to healthy two healthy chicks. Hopefully they don't get too invested in your chickens to warrant going after them and potentially injuring themselves in the process. I have a friend who also lives up north in the woods who did the same thing actually. He said he got great eggs but for the predators that live there, it's like putting the holy grail of good eatin' for everyone to notice haha
AG 1 ist ein völlig nutzlose zuzats Nahrungsmittel, getestet von der Universität Mainz, Deutschland, manche Inhaltsstoffe sind dazu noch gefährlich für Magen und Darm flora, auch ist der Bestell Vorgang auf der Website undurchsichtig, schnell hat man ein Jahresabo gestellt, d H 109 Euro im Monat....also Vorsicht und nicht kaufen das Zeug taugt nichts....
Aloha Shawn ⛱️ I really enjoyed this segment you shared about the quality of our intake that most people these days are lacking of true nutrients! The garbage sold in most grocery stores is like plain ruffage ! I can tell the difference especially in quality eggs by the taste and how they look ! Have fun this weekend and hope you find some great layers ,Bard Rock ,Rhode Island reds ,Australorps are my favorites! 🐔 🐥 🥚 HI Calli 🐕 ❤
Years ago I lived near a place that had top soil and compost in big piles .you could gig your own. .I took two big trash cans filled them up with mushroom compost. Then tryed to lift them on to the truck. My two sons helped .thay were 10 and 12. It was a struggle but we did it. I dug up the side yard got rid of grass tilled the ground with compost. Planted the whole yard with flowers all purple and yellow and white. It looked so beautiful. There was a big planter by the entry to house with a covered walk way all the plants looked sorry one bush dead, I pulled it out. There was a big hole ,so I filled it up with compost. You wouldent belive how the plants reacted creeping charlie, leaves size of a nickel were now size of a baseball. Spider plant was wild. I pulled out a big one I thought, ,but the baby's had baby's. Ibplanted it in a pot on a iron stand the baby's covered the outside of the pot , about 3 or 4 feet it was gorges. Unfortunately someone stole it and some others one in a wheelbarrow full of flowers. There was mor , but it makes me angry . So I will stop thinking about my loss.
Good luck with the chicks! Always wondered about nutritional values of food. They measured them in the 70's originally. And it's not like they measure the value every year and all over the nation. And I doubt farmers do soil nutrient tests either. I've assumed the data was off for a long time...
Same thing has happened to us. We used to buy lovely free-range eggs, Lately, however, the egg quality has gone down and down. Sadly we can't keep chickens as we live in an apartment. Think the neighbours would complain if chickens were running round in our communal hallways! Chicken coop is looking GREAT, Shawn!
Would you please share the change in diet, how you got lean, what you stopped eating, and dropped 17 lbs. and what you supplemented into your diet ? Would really appreciate it. I do drink Ag1 + the D3 ~ Thank you 😊
We just lost two of our laying hens to nesting hawks this past week. Part of the trade off with having birds free range. Free range birds eat less feed and you’ll never have a tick problem with birds gobbling them all! You just have to be prepared to replace the few unfortunates that the predators get :( We live in central Maryland and predators are generally worse when they are nesting.
You really should get a soil analysis of your raised beds before and after adding supplements and see what the differences are related to productivity.
Hey Shawn my parents taught me that if someone changes their mind about anything, then you best better believe that they have a reason and that’s why I don’t question or judge. Great video! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
A few years back I "roofed" my chicken-run + Vegetable garden over with fine chicken-wire after I lost chickens daily to our Gymnogene's (African Harrier Hawk) and Owls. I even dug the wire one foot deep into the ground to keep the snakes out which before squeezed themselves under the wire into the garden and killed my chickens.
You’re looking very fit and healthy, Shawn- kudos to you and your wife as you continue this journey to better health - My husband and I do try and take supplements but will try the AG-1- but as with anything we put into our bodies and/or add supplements like this, it’s always wise to check with one’s Doc or NP, PA prior as it may intercere with any current meds one is taking-- I’m a semi-retired cardiac nurse that has our own channel up coming- We Always watch your vlogs, Shawn- All the best, brother
Shawn: good to see you so happy & healthy! Now all you need are a couple of goats for milk and feta cheese! You will just have to go to the store for blue- berries and steel cut oats! Oops, I forgot yo'll have to buy salmon too! Seriously, good on you for feeling better!😊
The chicken coop is cute and curvy. So the coop is for food and eggs. I hope you raise plenty of roosters. My guess is that you won't free range the chickens for safety. The martins and other small predators it will be tough. Make sure you put any wire more than a foot deep in the ground so predators can't get to you stock. You will need heating and colling fan for them. I hope the best for the familys indevor.
Chickens can be a little extra work but eggs are always a good thing, chickens eat most of the food/garden garbage, they provide fertilizer and can potentially help fighting pest in the garden. All in all they will probably be a nice addition!
I started I.F. 14 months ago....dropped a bunch of weight I had packed around for 30+ years. Reduced blood pressure med by 88% and may eventually do away with it completely. 62 years old.
I am 65 years old. Have had chickens and guard geese all of my life. Love my chickens.
I love your chickens also, pleaes send me 10 plucked frozen chickens, thank you very much.

Not only explained but showed and informed me why and how it all fits together. The bit about the farmers growing crops in worn down soil and only replenishing the plants needs for growing it is overlooked by all except the farmers themselves!!!
Well done.
Shawn, I had noticed you looked leaner and better. I'm going to try the AG1 drink and hope I get similar results which I need very much. If I'm successful which I think I will be I'm going to buy it for my brother for Christmas or sooner. Thank you for the health tip.
I've seen lot's of other groups swear by A G 1. It's a shame that it costs so much. Shawn it's good to hear that you're feeling better and improving in your health daily. It's definitely something to check into.
Shawn, I ordered AG1 and received it yesterday. I started it today. Wow, energy! I fractured my back 10 years ago. Low bone density. Im anxious to see how this goes.
My name is June
Rhode island red chickens are the best they lay lovely brown eggs theres nothing lije 2 soft boiled eggs and hot buttered toast with a pot of tea and maybe some sausages for breakfast yum they taste so good compared to white eggs to me they taste like an egg should taste you look wonderful fit and healthy thats important as you get older best regards to you and your family loved the pics of the owls my late husband raised an orphan baby owl my husband didn't know you have to feed them crickets to give them calcium in thier wings so they can fly he never did learn to fly he was a great horned owl
Awesome job Shawn! Stay healthy and fit!
Can't wait to see the coop done! Love all the videos
Aroha from New Zealand🐥 As an avid bantam-aunty, so glad to see chickens “gracing” your self-resilience🐣 I have just started making bio-char in simple metal can retorts, in my woodburner - it works! When activated, this is charcoal-gold, keeps on delivering micro organisms back to gardens for years. And you are sitting on a goldmine of wood for bio-char making (in your idle moments🤣). Gratitude for your channels, they got me and my vagus nerve through the tough NZ lock-downs and go freedom convoys/protests! 🤞🌹🙏
Awesome chicken coop! I just used the compost from my chickens in my garden today, you will love what it does for your vegetables. Great work!❤
I'm 75 this year and I'm doing AG1 also since February. Let it replace my coffee. Blood pressure is down but not to the point I can quit the meds yet. Like the taste and the ease of using it. Really like the travel packs and the convenience of that. Feel a lot better as the main benefit. My joints don't hurt as much as they used to. Keep going Shawn. Love ur channel.
So we have 200 hens on pasture. Over 400 feet from the house in mobile tractors with flexinet moveable solar electric fence. Biggest loss can be from raptors. 2 or 3 roosters with the hens really help. When they see a bird overhead the roosters put out a call and you can see all the hens run to be under the chicken tractors. The rooster guards save us lots of birds. Ditto with the bears and bobcats. Roosters let the hens know when danger is present. There is a purpose for all animals in nature, including the good old rooster.
You're wise to be remineralizing your soil. The material you are using is Spanish River Carbonatite mined near Cartier, ON, about one hour drive from my home. It's difficult to source the product in stores now since Home Hardware can no longer carry it, but it is exported worldwide. My solution was to start buying it by the tonne (I have connections :-)) and reselling to folks in my area (Greater Sudbury). I also use it as a prime ingredient in Steve Solomon's Complete Organic Fertilizer (from his book The Intelligent Gardener) which I also market, with his endorsement. Steve is an expat American living in Tasmania. Shawn, if you read this, I highly advise you use a Melich III soil test, through Logan Labs in the USA - not available in Canada. The chicken coop is AWESOME.
That’s a beautiful owl feeder you are building! 😀 Kidding. Congrats on your new diet. And seriously, the coop is really nice. Seems to have a Japanese feel to the roof lines.
Chickens just as a source of fertilizer are a valuable asset.
yes I am harvesting compost now for my garden it is so rich!
That's a fact
In the NC mountains, farmers grow corn for a chicken farm and then use the chicken poop to fertilize. They get the highest yields in NC for their category of corn every year.
Very good info Shawn. Thanks for telling us the why factor in your reasoning to better understand the choices you're making for your entire family.
Thanks for sharing your time n talents with us today!! Lots to know...
👍🦊🧙♂️🐺🤙
One change you forgot to mention is the change in your physical appearance. You have regained your stellar appearance you had in your earlier videos....Sauna first use video anyone?? Thanks for all the effort you have put into your channel, especially your creativity and technical prowess in your videography, editing and choice of pics of the beauty around you.. I can honestly say that I respect the way you live your life. Your example means more than you know to very many of your "Old" followers.
He did mention it. If you skipped the ad you missed it.
He does talk about his physical appearance - part of the AG1 commercial. Weight loss will lower your BP, regardless of supplements.
@@SJC49 Especially with a ketogenic diet; it gets rid of the extra fluid needed to metabolize carbs.
You have accomplished SO MUCH since the last I watched your vids. Everything looks fantastic! WOW You guys have a beautiful home!😊
AG1 sounds great. I need something like this, and might just have to break down and purchase some….thanks for the tip!
Love LOVE your home you did yourself proud,
You look awesome..and inquiring into AG1...take your vest off!!
At 53, I encountered a health issue that led me to consider retiring by 60. Starting my savings later in life meant my funds weren't enough for a comfortable retirement. After doing some research, I opted for an alternative strategy, as ETFs and bonds alone wouldn't meet my needs given the limited time. This decision resulted in $3 million in returns by the time I retired. I’m living a simpler life, free from financial worries, and grateful for the steps I took
How can you tell if returns come from research or just luck? The role of luck is underestimated in investing. Without it it’s very challenging
when results remain consistent, its not considered luck. research was the challenge till it led to Emily Ava Milligan, a top fund manager, her strategy made 210k into this and counting
I just searched for the name, and her page appeared at the top of the results. Thanks for pointing her out
Scam
Looks like Cali is healing up very well! ❤🙏
Started the carnivore diet 2 months ago and it's been an eye opener, all health problems gone and the visceral fat , i'm now the size I was in my twenties.
I live in Texas, we were at a place lot of trees , a table .so we stoped to eat. It was late ,I can't walk good so my son drove his truck up close .when we were getting ready to leave. I guess our truck made some noise there was a huge owl he took off flying just over my head. His wings spand looked like a 747 . It took off scared the heck out off us. It was a white owl. I have never seen such a big one. Beautiful bird I wish I had taken a picture. I was too shocked to think about it.
I have chickens and rabbits . Under the chicken roost I put leaves and straw and the chickens will scratch through it all year long so that it turns to some really good fertilizer for my garden . I mix the rabbits droppings with it . I’ve done that for two years now . My garden is getting most of the organic stuff it needs . I have a mulch bed where everything that’s scraps goes into it . I mix some of that in my garden as well . All the chopped up corn stalks , pea vines , potato vines and stuff like that goes in my mulch bed all year to be put in the garden in the early spring . That’s all I put in my garden for fertilizer .
Hi Shawn, first off I'd like to say awesome chicken coop. Looks like a entrance to a church, awesome work. Now on your diet. Your seeing benefits because you already work hard and eat very lean meat. The AG1 is not the reason, you are. Everyone can't or won't work at your extreme level of endurance day in and day out. You have the ability to, do to your lifestyle. I applaud you for this. Anyway Take Care Now
When you travel in a camper for a long period of time just being off your schedule can take the life out of you. Getting back home and having a nice tan makes a difference in you appearance too.
Come to my house and I’ll show you a backyard garden that I keep adding too every week. Hoping to have a big harvest before I plant the winter vegetables. I have mint in various places of the yard to combat rats, which has been working. Propagating as I go also.
Then in my front yard, this will be medicinal plants like chamomile, ginger, garlic for now. Researching other things I can plant in my climate, which is zone 10b. We would love to get chickens, but zoning in my urban area is not too fond of that.
There are a couple of channels I watch that are getting carried away with the product endorsements - AG1 and Bluetti. 😍🇨🇦
Dude, congrats to you and you wife for changing your diet and getting healthy! Its so great to be a human and to be able to change our minds.
Best of success with the chickens, 🐓
Good to see your progress.
Living soil is what the world needs too quickly head back to because it does many things not just feeds the plants roots. Thanks Shawn.
Another influencer going for AG1...
wonder what the alternatives are for this over-priced marketing machine company.
If you have a Garden full of fruits and vegetables, AG1 is the last thing you need.
Ur so much better appearance comparing to years initial video . Congratulations 👏 often healthy conditions can be told by looking at our outlook
I used to use Azomite rock dust in my plant mix, Azomite rock dust, ground egg shells and a little epsom salt (magnesium) with my kitchen scraps would go into my worm bins. Chickens would love those earthworms from when you change the worm bins. Eggs would be very rich. That AGM product shows promise! Good idea! I've been taking Cardio Miracle, which isn't as natural, but really good quality.
I’ve had chickens for a few years now and just one of the great things about having them is the poop is fantastic on my garden! Another boon to having them is that they’re always ready to help me by eating the leftovers when I clean the refrigerator out, lol. They love scraps!
For mites etc… I use First Saturday Lime in my coop and run. None of the dozens of chickens I’ve ever had have had varmints on them. I swear by the Lime and it’s safe for my cats and dogs too, though I don’t use it one them.
Shawn, you look fantastic. I think I'm going to try that AG1. I used to drink something just like it when I was younger and it worked great. I forget why I stopped.
$100/mth - not sure if that covers taxes and shipping!
Just one more step to self-reliance!
I been on AG1 for several years plus a scoop of Cretan, sometime Mancha 1st thing in the morning !
65 yrs old just did a full physical with panels ? Doctor stated “ you’re one of the lucky ones” ? Actually I pin that on my faith! However I say that to state I am a full time carpenter ( finish ) work 5/6 days a week do all my chores ect.,.
Ppl better wise up to what they eat and eat too much ! Anyway good content !
The soon coming years are going to be very difficult. I'm so glad Shawn is leading the way for homesteaders to get back to health. We're going to need it very soon. Say, in November.
*Good on you Shawn! Daily healthy diet plus exercise are on your side, and should you want to go further, try the intermittent fasting as well with a small window for consumption within a 24-hr period. Take it from a former diabetic2 with high blood pressure and cholesterol, you would feel much younger and energetic with that integrated approach! Love your channel, so inspirational!*
We heard about the AG1 from you over a month ago. Been using it since! Sure helps with getting rid of cravings! Thanks for sharing! You look great!
We have a backyard flock for eggs and meat for the same reasons. Only use organic feed and free range on our property, with 10 hens and one rooster our feed cost is about $4/ dozen but they are a large breed with quite large eggs. Is it worth it? Yes, we know what they eat and they are excellent gardening tools and fertilizers. I use deep wood chip bedding in the greenhouse for the winter which gives us great mulch for garden pathways and compost base.
Getting off of blood pressure medication is so good. It has so many side affects. 💕
Like weight gain! I had a heart attack in 2017 and within a month of being on their meds, I became this incedible hulk. It is awful. The doctors will tell you that blood pressure meds will not do this to you, but that is BS. I was thin all my life.
Awesome barred owl footage and nice to healthy two healthy chicks. Hopefully they don't get too invested in your chickens to warrant going after them and potentially injuring themselves in the process. I have a friend who also lives up north in the woods who did the same thing actually. He said he got great eggs but for the predators that live there, it's like putting the holy grail of good eatin' for everyone to notice haha
I tried AG1 but the taste was just awful even with Stevia in it. Couldn’t do i myself.
AG 1 ist ein völlig nutzlose zuzats Nahrungsmittel, getestet von der Universität Mainz, Deutschland, manche Inhaltsstoffe sind dazu noch gefährlich für Magen und Darm flora, auch ist der Bestell Vorgang auf der Website undurchsichtig, schnell hat man ein Jahresabo gestellt, d H 109 Euro im Monat....also Vorsicht und nicht kaufen das Zeug taugt nichts....
Aloha Shawn ⛱️ I really enjoyed this segment you shared about the quality of our intake that most people these days are lacking of true nutrients! The garbage sold in most grocery stores is like plain ruffage ! I can tell the difference especially in quality eggs by the taste and how they look ! Have fun this weekend and hope you find some great layers ,Bard Rock ,Rhode Island reds ,Australorps are my favorites! 🐔 🐥 🥚 HI Calli 🐕 ❤
Years ago I lived near a place that had top soil and compost in big piles .you could gig your own.
.I took two big trash cans filled them up with mushroom compost.
Then tryed to lift them on to the truck.
My two sons helped .thay were 10 and 12.
It was a struggle but we did it.
I dug up the side yard got rid of grass tilled the ground with compost.
Planted the whole yard with flowers all purple and yellow and white. It looked so beautiful. There was a big planter by the entry to house with a covered walk way all the plants looked sorry one bush dead, I pulled it out. There was a big hole ,so I filled it up with compost. You wouldent belive how the plants reacted creeping charlie, leaves size of a nickel were now size of a baseball. Spider plant was wild. I pulled out a big one I thought, ,but the baby's had baby's. Ibplanted it in a pot on a iron stand the baby's covered the outside of the pot , about 3 or 4 feet it was gorges. Unfortunately someone stole it and some others one in a wheelbarrow full of flowers. There was mor , but it makes me angry . So I will stop thinking about my loss.
I really enjoy your videos.
So peaceful and knowledgeable.
Your videos bring a calming grounded feel to my day.
Good luck with the chicks!
Always wondered about nutritional values of food. They measured them in the 70's originally. And it's not like they measure the value every year and all over the nation. And I doubt farmers do soil nutrient tests either. I've assumed the data was off for a long time...
Same thing has happened to us. We used to buy lovely free-range eggs, Lately, however, the egg quality has gone down and down. Sadly we can't keep chickens as we live in an apartment. Think the neighbours would complain if chickens were running round in our communal hallways! Chicken coop is looking GREAT, Shawn!
That AG1 tasted good and gave me energy, but 4 days later I was constipated for several days. I had to stop using it.
I am so proud of the way you do the farming
I like the powdered greens and reds from LiveGood company, they are same good quality but way lower priced.
Would expanded metal work for the coop? Its really stronger than hardware cloth.
Put a fake animal like a snake on top of the coop to scare off predators. Ironically we had a fake owl we used to scare off chicken hawks.
eggshells are super productive for gardens as well and the chickens will also benefit
Thanks for the post as always very informative and enjoyable. God bless you and all of yours.
Would you please share the change in diet, how you got lean, what you stopped eating, and dropped 17 lbs. and what you supplemented into your diet ? Would really appreciate it. I do drink Ag1 + the D3 ~
Thank you 😊
We just lost two of our laying hens to nesting hawks this past week. Part of the trade off with having birds free range. Free range birds eat less feed and
you’ll never have a tick problem with birds gobbling them all! You just have to be prepared to replace the few unfortunates that the predators get :(
We live in central Maryland and predators are generally worse when they are nesting.
Inspiring video shawn! I'd love to get some chickens on my land to add to the garden I'm building this year. Thanks for the content!
I heard the wood thrush singing in the background. My absolute favorite song bird.
You really should get a soil analysis of your raised beds before and after adding supplements and see what the differences are related to productivity.
There's no substitute for your own chickens. We have 15 chickens and a rooster, and we are getting a dozen eggs a day.
Only curious...if soils are depleted, where does AG1 source their soil to supply their product?
Hey Shawn my parents taught me that if someone changes their mind about anything, then you best better believe that they have a reason and that’s why I don’t question or judge. Great video! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
You are allowed to change your mind Shaun, like the rest of us. Good luck with the diet, you look fantastic & very toned.
The shed is sooo cool!
A few years back I "roofed" my chicken-run + Vegetable garden over with fine chicken-wire after I lost chickens daily to our Gymnogene's (African Harrier Hawk) and Owls.
I even dug the wire one foot deep into the ground to keep the snakes out which before squeezed themselves under the wire into the garden and killed my chickens.
You’re looking very fit and healthy, Shawn- kudos to you and your wife as you continue this journey to better health - My husband and I do try and take supplements but will try the AG-1- but as with anything we put into our bodies and/or add supplements like this, it’s always wise to check with one’s Doc or NP, PA prior as it may intercere with any current meds one is taking-- I’m a semi-retired cardiac nurse that has our own channel up coming- We Always watch your vlogs, Shawn-
All the best, brother
Shawn: good to see you so happy &
healthy! Now all you need are a couple
of goats for milk and feta cheese! You
will just have to go to the store for blue-
berries and steel cut oats! Oops, I forgot
yo'll have to buy salmon too! Seriously,
good on you for feeling better!😊
The chicken coop is cute and curvy. So the coop is for food and eggs. I hope you raise plenty of roosters. My guess is that you won't free range the chickens for safety. The martins and other small predators it will be tough. Make sure you put any wire more than a foot deep in the ground so predators can't get to you stock. You will need heating and colling fan for them. I hope the best for the familys indevor.
This moment brought to you in part by AG1.
Chickens can be a little extra work but eggs are always a good thing, chickens eat most of the food/garden garbage, they provide fertilizer and can potentially help fighting pest in the garden. All in all they will probably be a nice addition!
Wonderful news, Shawn, wonderful news!
I started I.F. 14 months ago....dropped a bunch of weight I had packed around for 30+ years. Reduced blood pressure med by 88% and may eventually do away with it completely. 62 years old.
