This comment is an EMERGENCY. I just got to the part that you mention how you are not proud of your last two videos and are not going to be talking about your mental health anymore and why not?? I have LOVED your last two videos. I am going through the saaaame thing right now, just did blood test, GI test, and gene testing. As well as doing a 2 and half month long cleanse for general health and parasites and it was so beautiful to see that I am not alone. I was in my darkest place when you posted the video before last and it was so helpful and refreshing to see you. So I beg you to reconsider your feelings. I understand if that feels vulnerable for you and you just want it to be yours. I feel that way a lot through this healing journey, like it's just so Mine, ya know? Love you, I appreciate your sharing and didn't want to not be a voice that tells you that it's really nice and helpful when you share your real self. Otherwise it's playing a game, right?
Agree - the mental health videos while you are feeling the feels are so validating! Know that there are many of us who really appreciate you sharing those harder times.
@@MewluMoon yeah I understand that. I was more speaking to how she didn't like them and wanted to spread happiness and what not. I know she isn't afraid to share her true feelings. I just wanted her to know that it's a wonderful thing to share and is not low vibes. 💗
Topping up her income lol you know she pops in do that right? Same with insta stories. Disappears for weeks and returns with a series of gorgeous insta stories followed by an ad
I couldn’t agree more- I understand completely why she may feel like a lot of her videos have been mental health centered but hearing how she navigates through her life is so inspiring and it doesn’t read as complaining at all- I’m so grateful whenever she posts
Girls !!! Our gut issues often *mostly* stem from emotional distress. Read up on the metaphysical reasons for all your different physical symptoms and the psychosomatic connection. For example, our brain and our gastrointestinal (GI) system are directly connected. The different parts of our whole body are connected intimately with each other, including our emotional body. So your stomach or intestinal symptoms can be the cause AND the product of psychological/ emotional problems. Book recommendation: Evette Rose - Your body is talking, are you listening ? May you receive love, guidance and healing from the collective, the universe at large, which includes you and your universe inside you.
I second this! It's really telling that every time I have a particularly relieving therapy session, my digestive issues seem to disappear for the rest of the day 🤯
i had gut issuse for years, nealy everyday and thought i might just be sensible to a lot of things. but since i started my antidepression and anxiety medication, my gut problems disappeared!! they just fucking disappeared, i really couldn't believe it. it teached me how impactful the mind is
i was so surprised to not hear her mention the emotional and psychological connection to health!! our health is a direct reflection of our nervous system and our spiritual and karmic journeys. i think it’s a scary thing to face that health is bigger than just physical, and there’s a lot of stigma around the concept of “psychosomatic” issues, but it’s truly the key to breaking patterns of dysfunction in the body. coming from someone healing from many mysterious complex severe chronic illnesses that doctors couldn’t help me with and that used to have me unable to walk :) our bodies are so intelligent and every issue is a communication of a deeper theme
hi girlie, long time viewer here. paused the video literally just to express that i respect you not wanting to continue to share your mental struggles when you’re already dealing with it in private. but i will add that i personally found them very helpful, relatable, and comforting. i’m healing from a romantic ending and have been checking up on my health issues since the new year- biggest one is my gut. just wanted you to know that although you might not feel like it’s your best work, you’re helping someone with that content and it’s me❤️ so thank you deeply. i love your mental health vids and talks, feels like i have a friend that really gets it. sending lots of love and peace your way, earth angel
I am struggling with gut issues for the first time in my life; went on a holiday to Thailand and got food poisoning, and my gut hasn't been the same since.

And now one of my fav youtubers has posted a video on the topic. Thanks Hitomi!

You're a multi-dimensional human and I have appreciated your authenticity for what is going on. So much of social media is overly romanticized and perfected before distributed to its audience. It was incredibly refreshing to see you be so open about life being cyclical and there being rough parts. So much of your channel is dedicated to the reveling of the human experience, and seeing you navigate the rough patches with grace is a meaningful thing in itself, potentially even more meaningful than sharing the amazing times. However, I understand wanting to make beautiful uplifting creative expression on here, but sometimes the most meaningful art is the art that evokes darkness. Im sending you so much love and healing, and thank you for your light as always

Your videos bring me so much peace! as a stay at home mom of a crazy toddler doing online school I use your videos as an excuse to drink a cup of camomille tea and sit down 20 minutes
I'm also dealing with gut issues and doing the candida diet, it's so inspiring seeing your video about it because its getting in to me really hard hahaha I needed this piece of inspiration, thank your for sharing this piece of your life and I'm also so proud of you! stay strong 💚
Please keep sharing your truth no matter who you are or where you are in that moment, physically mentally spiritually - your audience is so grateful for you and especially your realness. You are seen supported n loved ALWAYS, even and especially in this season. LOVE YOU
I actually find it so refreshing, helpful and relatable that you share your "death cycles" with us. This transparency has a huge impact on collective healing.

This relatability helps me to connect and sit with with my imperfections and honor the turbulent seasons of life. So, thank you. 🤎✨
I have had IBS for some time now. I hope whatever you are doing you have a professional with you, but someone who really knows what it is. Sometimes it is very complicated to feel understood in this kind of stomach issue, and it is hard mentally and physically. It is a hard road but it is true that the less you beat yourself up the better, and (in my condition) comes and goes so I need to accept when it comes and not feel so beat up about it. Sending loads of love and support.
I’ve been vegan for 7 years and was vegetarian for 3 years before that. I eat a mix of vegan junk food and fresh whole plant based foods. I’ve never had nutritional deficiency (rarely take vitamins) and never had digestive or gut issues. I truly believe it’s all about balance. It seems it’s always the vegans obsessed with eating clean or super healthy that end up with issues.
I had gut issues and inflammation also extremely iron deficient. I started eating grass fed beef with fruit and low amounts of vegetables. It has helped tremendously. I thought eating alot of vegetables was healthy for me but I learned it was formenting and causing issues in my gut. I guess everyone is different but it definitely worked for me and my iron is at normal levels.
@@dominiqueyazzi4829 then why did u go vegan in the first place? Influencers. Atleast do ur research and try to do it right and have some morals that u stick to
I’ve been loving the authenticity of your recent vids, I’ve also been in a lower place this week, and hearing you talk about your death cycle and taking things slowly, reconnecting with nature, and sticking to your routines has been so inspiring to me and makes me feel so seen, when often I feel so much shame in taking time for myself and slowing down in this fast paced society. Of course, I only want what you want, but I jut wanted to mention this because I feel it’s important! Sending you all the love ❤
This really cleanse me from toxic environment that I had from previous workplace. I also detoxifying from social medias, unhealthy foods, all the negative vibes from other people, loud musics, obsessiveness to gadgets, and money prodigal. When I look at this video, my heart and my mind feels so calm watching the serenity of getting a better life, not a perfect life. I don't want to be compared from other people just because of their money, fame and talented, I just want humans treat each other with kindness and feel them worthy every single day, just like you did to me❤❤❤
I needed this… I’ve been having on and off issue since 2020.. the got bad again in august of last year and then went away. Now they have been back for about three months and im struggling!! Thank you
i love to hear your realness and struggles and joys- but also i totally understand and feel the same irt personal life, social media, taking your own time. learning to heal my relationship with time, rest, intentions, and my idea of "success" as well. so grateful for you and your voice. so much love to you.
Hitomi, I found your videos at a time in my life where I was learning to navigate through my emotions. Something my family never taught me, and I grew up without a mother, and had to teach myself about the female body and the first video I watched was about menstrual cycles. I was not educated on our moon, I did not know what boundaries were, I did not know what it felt like to love myself, and I did not know what a true friendship was. Of course with the help of therapy too. I have watched so many of your videos, over and over again. They are spiritual lessons to me, I truly believe you are a spiritual genius in a very unique way. With that, I completely support your decision to keep these matters private. This is your life and you have full control and are allowed to set those boundaries especially in such a world where privacy is hard to come by. But I do want you to know, and by looking at this loving community you have created, how many lives you have touched with your courage to speak about these things. You have broken so many social normalities, such as the one of hiding our sadness, and it is for the better. I am extremely proud of you and your accomplishments, look at all of the things you have done, you can even see how much you have grown with every video you post. I am just in awe and so proud of you in every possible way. Any video you make I treat as a ceremony to get grounded and reflect deeply because your energy is rooting, like the very trees which are your friends. So much love, support, and gratitude for you. Keep healing, and I hope that this new diet helps your GI issues and in turn your mental health. 🫶🏾
the way you approach your content creating and taking space to go through your journey as YOUR journey & not sharing just because you have content due is so so responsible & i look up to you for it :")
I needed this video RIGHT NOW! I’ve been struggling with this problem for the past weeks and it has been affecting my mental health as well. Thank you so much for sharing this video, sending you love and health 🩷
Hitomi, you are such a mirror into the lives of many, including my own. Watching your videos is seriously so enlightening and inspiring !!! I really admire your mindset and way of life. Your essence is magnanimous because it transcends borders and cultures without being overwhelming and cumbersome. Get well soon !!! Sound body, sound mind !!! 😎👌🔥
AIP..Autoimmune protocol is what healed me. About 6 weeks and a dose of antibiotics and I was healed! Few great books on Amazon and some you tube channels. Sending prayers for your healing. Careful with tomatoes, they are nightshades. Xoxo❤❤❤
Your journey to prioritize self-care and overcome challenges is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experiences and reminding us all to listen to our bodies and prioritize our well-being.
I went through (what seems like anyways) the exact same gut problems about 2 years ago. was one of the hardest times for me mentally and I’m still on a road to fully figuring it out now sending u the most love ever! and please anyone going through something similar remember to be kind to yourself and allow yourself to be loved in these hard moments
I've been having pretty intense gut health issues myself lately so I feel very seen by this video and am grateful for inspo on how to be gentle with my gut. this video also helped me connect my recent mental health issues to my gut health which I didn't even think about! so thank you for all of that
Bring all of you to this altar. I for one, feel deeply connected to the humility and grace you’ve offered. It is artful. - the bottom of the well, with you.
Thank you for sharing Hitomi. I have gone through gut issues for years and worked with a practitioner once before and it didn’t help, but recently I decided to try again and now I am working with a new practitioner to help heal my gut. I am also going on a strict elimination diet (GAPS diet) and protocol starting tomorrow, and at first I was feeling sadness and dread, but now I am hopeful and excited for a positive change. Love hearing your experience, your spirit is so encouraging 🙏🏻
medical medium mono cleance can be very very helpful, also reading MM books can bring alot of clearity on why you feel the way you feel. This information saved my life when I dad a brain cancer!😍
Your videos have been keeping me company for a while, and they have been so comforting now that I'm going through a really tough time. Take care, Hitomi
Ive been avoiding ur videos lately because i feel the vulnerable side of me doesn’t serve me very well in this portion of my life (becoming a young woman), but im so glad i came back to this and remembered how important it is to take care of my body and that includes being vulnerable 💖
Just came head to say I really enjoyed your last video (“Getting my Life Together…”)! Especially the musings about your connection to nature about settling down. I watched it twice 🥺🥺 Wishing you so much healing
I recently started dealing with stomach issues, and I believe carbs and or gluten is the issue. I plan on getting my blood work done to see what vitamins I may be deficient in. I feel like this video was so validating and made me feel less alone, because gut issues can be so overwhelming and painful and it definitely triggered issues with my mental health. Thank you so much for sharing this. I needed this kind of community.
Honestly, I understand why you would want to turn your focus away from your mental health issues for the moment while they’re, I’m sure, at the front of your mind on a daily basis 💓 I respect your desire to make the content that feels right to you
Hi hitomi! Just want to say that I think your videos talking about your mental health, etc ARE beautiful. Because they are REAL. As you know there is so much ultra- curated content on TH-cam and while it is “beautiful” I think it often leaves viewers feeling alienated because most people’s lives aren’t like that. You need to do what you feel. I just wanted to share 💚💚
you can make beautiful things with your own struggles, if you feel like sharing your anxieties and issues again your community will welcome that. don't feel the pressure to make this space filtered, perfect and exclusively positive, as gratitude comes from sharing in mutual hardships too. especially in the age of highlight reel content. we love you
I really appreciate these videos especially the food and low mental health. I have had to do even more extreme elimination diets than low FODMAP due to stomach issues and I've even lost friendships and relationships over how much I have to take care of my stomach. I am dairy and gluten free by necessity and now I can barely be social. It's been super difficult to go out and meet friends. I really feel comforted by the diversity of your meals bc it is really difficult to find low FODMAP recipes so please keep posting. I have been feeling sad recently and I'm sure it has something to do with my stomach. All this to say I love your content and it is really motivating for me to take care of my body/stick with my diet.
@@shefali567 I was vegan 9yrs. I ate high protein and nutrients dense meals. Avoided oil and processed foods. I was and still am a weight trainer. I now only eat meats and dairy products that are from local farmers and hunters not corporations. You can assume all you want but I wasn’t going to kill my child to stay vegan. Sorry babes.
Love that you chose not to refilm that recipe and also voiced that insecurity! I can super relate to that feeling in my own ways (even tho I'm not a content creator)
Obviously every body is different, however i went through every symptom you're currently having after 5 years vegan and 17years in total no meat. Tried so many different diets to fix it and got to the point where supplimenting didn't align with what i believe and slowly introduced meat into my diet. its been 4 and a half years now and haven't had a single gut issue/fatigue/low iron etc and one very healthy pregnancy without even touching prenatals. I know this wont suit everyone and i defimnitely understand the beliefs behind being vegan but just writing in case you get to the point you consider it - as i really beat myself up over it not working for me anymore and now I'm so happy I took care of my body and buy consciously.
@@minouaif u watch her most recent video she speaks on her having health issues due to her being deficient in a lot of vitamins because of her plant based diet. She’s incorporating animal products in her food which i know will cause her to be healthier. Animal foods ARE healthy. They contain more protein and the most essential vitamins our bodies need (,: nothing wrong with veggies, but it’s not a sustainable diet. We’ve been eating animal products for hundreds of thousands of years
I really loved your last 2 videos where you were open about your current struggles. there is something very healing and comforting about hearing about your mental health journey while(!) you are in it, as opposed to only hearing about the reflections afterward. it doesn't feel like you are bringing this negative energy to this digital space at all! It is the truth, your truth and your vulnerability will lead to a connection to so many others going through the same thing. there can be found beauty amongst one's struggles
Hey love I feel you on these health issues. That’s great you’re focusing on gut health. I’ve experienced many of your symptoms also and adding more protein to my diet as well as supplements to support my reproductive/metabolic/blood sugar health has really made a positive difference
I've had an onslaught of stomach issues in the past month too! Nausea almost every time I eat, and occasionally horrible stomach cramping/gastritis. I think it's largely due to stress :( Thank you for these recipes! I'm trying to eat more whole foods to see if that helps (I've never really made an attempt at that before so I'm excited!)
Doing low FOFMAP helped me realize all of the issues that came from onions and garlic , which I love to add to everything 😢 but they were causing extreme gas and bloating. Hopefully I will be able to incorporate them into my diet more and more after my gut is healed. I loved this vid btw
I’m currently struggling with my gut health as well!! I just now am getting over a whole week of the flu (or maybe weed withdrawal? Since I just quit) my appetite completely disappeared and I felt nauseous even thinking about food. Trying to force myself would just give me anxiety! Currently things are getting better and I’m able to eat, but it’s soooo hard to try teaching myself the foods I should be eating especially when I’ve never been a big cooker. Thank you Hitomi for this video❤️ it feels good to know I’m not the only one who’s been struggling with nausea lately.
I love witnessing you in your lows and highs. I love that you allow us to see you and to hear you in your abs and flows of life. You don't have to be good. Your life is beautiful art by itself. I was feeling so low the past weeks, and as I work at an ecstatic dance center I felt bad for not dancing with the guests and just feeling like I only wanted to sit the whole time and not express low feeling self. Until I got the reminder that I could dance with the heaviness, dance with the feeling, as if it was my dancing partner, and that this could be the art that I could make from the place I was at. I started to dance and it felt so welcoming and so nourishing for my being. I know that in my work I don't only have to be happy, but sometimes it feels difficult to give space to my own process while holding space for the processes of others. To just allow truth to come through and allow my heaviness to fully be there with me I experienced such beautiful art pouring through me.
totally hear you at the end :)) at the same time even the dark and difficult stuff can be beautiful too, in the things we learn from them and the solutions we come up with. you never know what others are going through or how you could really help/inspire someone out there ❤❤ this video has helped me fs!
I feel you Hitomi! Thanks for sharing the realness and these recipes with us, they look delicious and nutritious! Great yummy recipe inspo ✨ I pray for your healing! I love your openness with us and seeing how you do your best and honor yourself with your actions. There is positive influence and there is beauty within that, and I'm excited to see what you wish to share going forward 🙏🏼 thank you thank you thank you, many blessings! 🥰
❤❤❤ hitomi you don't have to change for us, you can be real even if that means complaining or feeling not good in general! it human and we really do love and accept all parts of you!! ❤❤❤
Hi Hitomi !! Im not sure if I missed it in the video but I would highly recommend a food intolerance test !!!! Leaky gut and intolerances go hand in hand, and many of the foods you wouldn't think e.g. tomatoes can be highly irritating, much love
Beautiful things are imperfect. You dont have to share your life in ways that dont feel true. Even when youre not expressing the best or highest of emotion, thats Beautiful and plays a part in affirming all of our collective beauty. As we share in these emotions and moments together ❤️ I wish you Hitomi and everyone well
I struggled with IBS and going on a low-fodmap diet helped me identify the issue. My body didn't like ogliosaccharides (the O in FODMAP). Particularly the ogliosaccharides in alliums like garlic and onion. I am half Mexican and ate a LOT of garlic & onion in my life. I read some research about HMOs (human milk ogliosaccharide prebiotics). These are found in human breast milk and show promise for treating IBS. I figured it was worth a shot and bought some made by Layer Origin. Combining this with fermented foods helped so much! I'm now able to eat garlic on occasion. When my gut issues were at their worst, I couldn't eat anything without cramping and bloating. Even an apple would set it off. Healing is possible!
my gut health improved so significantly once i started eating meat (esp red meat), drinking bone broth, and eating yoghurt and kefir! it’s different for every body, but veganism is unfortunately so often a cause for health issues especially over very long periods :/
FODMAP saved me! I have stuck to a more simple, whole-food diet now; no recipes above 5 ingredients & fermented veggies + fermented dairy. They are actually hearty & comforting when you learn to cook & bake FODMAP comfort dishes. Please feature pickled recipes/pickling whenever you can.
I just found your TH-cam and it has really helped me. I hope you continue to share yourself and your remedies as I am in a similar space and using your videos as little guides has been nourishing
Every video you make is a pleasure to watch beautiful lady. Thanks for sharing all your ups and downs, - honesty is beautiful. Blessings and love to you ❤
i've read that plant medicines can cause deficiencies with iron, magnesium, zinc and other minerals ~ when i started supplementing with magnesium it felt so nourishing and sincerely calming
If you're sensitive to chickpeas, you might be sensitive to ogliosaccharides (the O in FODMAP). These are found in a variety of foods. Eliminating or reducing them in the short term helped me heal my gut.
Hi Hitomi, have you looked into Ayurveda? It's the only thing that healed my gut issues. The special thing about it is that it looks at each individuals dosha and imbalance to determine which foods to keep and which to avoid, it's not a one size fits all type of diet. There also some food combinations to avoid and specific ways to prepare foods that are really helpful :) hope you feel better soon
You can manually close your IC valve (leaky gut cause) there are videos on TH-cam. I've suffered from this myself amongst other gut issues and it does really work. But ultimately our gut is where we store our emotions, so if this is a period of high stress for you then that is the thing you should focus on eliminating, not specific foods. Wishing you peace and healing.

It is a hard road but it is true that the less you beat yourself up the better, and (in my condition) comes and goes so I need to accept when it comes and not feel so beat up about it. Sending loads of love and support.
I’ve been vegan for 7 years and was vegetarian for 3 years before that. I eat a mix of vegan junk food and fresh whole plant based foods. I’ve never had nutritional deficiency (rarely take vitamins) and never had digestive or gut issues. I truly believe it’s all about balance. It seems it’s always the vegans obsessed with eating clean or super healthy that end up with issues.
I had gut issues and inflammation also extremely iron deficient. I started eating grass fed beef with fruit and low amounts of vegetables. It has helped tremendously. I thought eating alot of vegetables was healthy for me but I learned it was formenting and causing issues in my gut. I guess everyone is different but it definitely worked for me and my iron is at normal levels.
this comment is so important
Yall will eat up anything influencers tell u to do hope the beef gives u more brains
@@shefali567 not influencers , ancestors!!!
@@dominiqueyazzi4829 then why did u go vegan in the first place? Influencers. Atleast do ur research and try to do it right and have some morals that u stick to
I think I have an Oxalate issue from veggies! Inflammation linked as well.
I’ve been loving the authenticity of your recent vids, I’ve also been in a lower place this week, and hearing you talk about your death cycle and taking things slowly, reconnecting with nature, and sticking to your routines has been so inspiring to me and makes me feel so seen, when often I feel so much shame in taking time for myself and slowing down in this fast paced society. Of course, I only want what you want, but I jut wanted to mention this because I feel it’s important! Sending you all the love ❤
This really cleanse me from toxic environment that I had from previous workplace. I also detoxifying from social medias, unhealthy foods, all the negative vibes from other people, loud musics, obsessiveness to gadgets, and money prodigal. When I look at this video, my heart and my mind feels so calm watching the serenity of getting a better life, not a perfect life. I don't want to be compared from other people just because of their money, fame and talented, I just want humans treat each other with kindness and feel them worthy every single day, just like you did to me❤❤❤
I needed this… I’ve been having on and off issue since 2020.. the got bad again in august of last year and then went away. Now they have been back for about three months and im struggling!! Thank you
i love to hear your realness and struggles and joys- but also i totally understand and feel the same irt personal life, social media, taking your own time. learning to heal my relationship with time, rest, intentions, and my idea of "success" as well. so grateful for you and your voice. so much love to you.
Hitomi,
I found your videos at a time in my life where I was learning to navigate through my emotions. Something my family never taught me, and I grew up without a mother, and had to teach myself about the female body and the first video I watched was about menstrual cycles. I was not educated on our moon, I did not know what boundaries were, I did not know what it felt like to love myself, and I did not know what a true friendship was. Of course with the help of therapy too. I have watched so many of your videos, over and over again. They are spiritual lessons to me, I truly believe you are a spiritual genius in a very unique way. With that, I completely support your decision to keep these matters private. This is your life and you have full control and are allowed to set those boundaries especially in such a world where privacy is hard to come by. But I do want you to know, and by looking at this loving community you have created, how many lives you have touched with your courage to speak about these things. You have broken so many social normalities, such as the one of hiding our sadness, and it is for the better. I am extremely proud of you and your accomplishments, look at all of the things you have done, you can even see how much you have grown with every video you post. I am just in awe and so proud of you in every possible way. Any video you make I treat as a ceremony to get grounded and reflect deeply because your energy is rooting, like the very trees which are your friends. So much love, support, and gratitude for you. Keep healing, and I hope that this new diet helps your GI issues and in turn your mental health. 🫶🏾
OMG window above your bed is BEAUTIFUL
the way you approach your content creating and taking space to go through your journey as YOUR journey & not sharing just because you have content due is so so responsible & i look up to you for it :")
I needed this video RIGHT NOW! I’ve been struggling with this problem for the past weeks and it has been affecting my mental health as well. Thank you so much for sharing this video, sending you love and health 🩷
i really loved your last few videos
Hitomi, you are such a mirror into the lives of many, including my own. Watching your videos is seriously so enlightening and inspiring !!! I really admire your mindset and way of life. Your essence is magnanimous because it transcends borders and cultures without being overwhelming and cumbersome. Get well soon !!! Sound body, sound mind !!! 😎👌🔥
AIP..Autoimmune protocol is what healed me. About 6 weeks and a dose of antibiotics and I was healed! Few great books on Amazon and some you tube channels. Sending prayers for your healing. Careful with tomatoes, they are nightshades. Xoxo❤❤❤
girl i just feel so blessed to simply hear your voice and feel your presence, thank youuu
Your journey to prioritize self-care and overcome challenges is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experiences and reminding us all to listen to our bodies and prioritize our well-being.
Please do talk about your issues! I’ve been having the same and it really motivated me to call a doctor. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for this piece of light. You are a beautiful human Hitomi. All the love as always.
I went through (what seems like anyways) the exact same gut problems about 2 years ago. was one of the hardest times for me mentally and I’m still on a road to fully figuring it out now
sending u the most love ever! and please anyone going through something similar remember to be kind to yourself and allow yourself to be loved in these hard moments
You get to be a content creator and a human being with challenges and feelings and health issues all at the same time Hitomi. We love you in totality
I've been having pretty intense gut health issues myself lately so I feel very seen by this video and am grateful for inspo on how to be gentle with my gut. this video also helped me connect my recent mental health issues to my gut health which I didn't even think about! so thank you for all of that
Bring all of you to this altar.
I for one, feel deeply connected to the humility and grace you’ve offered.
It is artful.
- the bottom of the well, with you.
breaking my 2 day fast with these meals today im so inspired. love u love u love u
Thank you for sharing all parts of you and the different physical/mental/emotional processes you go through
Unrelated but i love your outfit at the end of the video. looks so cozy and cool
Agreed !!
Thank you for sharing Hitomi. I have gone through gut issues for years and worked with a practitioner once before and it didn’t help, but recently I decided to try again and now I am working with a new practitioner to help heal my gut. I am also going on a strict elimination diet (GAPS diet) and protocol starting tomorrow, and at first I was feeling sadness and dread, but now I am hopeful and excited for a positive change. Love hearing your experience, your spirit is so encouraging 🙏🏻
medical medium mono cleance can be very very helpful, also reading MM books can bring alot of clearity on why you feel the way you feel. This information saved my life when I dad a brain cancer!😍
Your videos have been keeping me company for a while, and they have been so comforting now that I'm going through a really tough time. Take care, Hitomi
Ive been avoiding ur videos lately because i feel the vulnerable side of me doesn’t serve me very well in this portion of my life (becoming a young woman), but im so glad i came back to this and remembered how important it is to take care of my body and that includes being vulnerable 💖
Just came head to say I really enjoyed your last video (“Getting my Life Together…”)! Especially the musings about your connection to nature about settling down. I watched it twice 🥺🥺
Wishing you so much healing
Sending love and peace to you Hitomi and anyone else that needs it 🤍
❤
I’m also going through some health issues. Thanks for sharing. 🙏💛
I'm currently dealing with guts issues too I feel u and send u all the love💜
I recently started dealing with stomach issues, and I believe carbs and or gluten is the issue. I plan on getting my blood work done to see what vitamins I may be deficient in. I feel like this video was so validating and made me feel less alone, because gut issues can be so overwhelming and painful and it definitely triggered issues with my mental health. Thank you so much for sharing this. I needed this kind of community.
Honestly, I understand why you would want to turn your focus away from your mental health issues for the moment while they’re, I’m sure, at the front of your mind on a daily basis 💓 I respect your desire to make the content that feels right to you
Hi hitomi! Just want to say that I think your videos talking about your mental health, etc ARE beautiful. Because they are REAL. As you know there is so much ultra- curated content on TH-cam and while it is “beautiful” I think it often leaves viewers feeling alienated because most people’s lives aren’t like that. You need to do what you feel. I just wanted to share 💚💚
Your videos truly help me regulate my system. Thank you for bringing your heart + energy to this space for us to receive
pls keep sharing your low points, it has made me feel SO much better about my own gut health issues and helped me to feel less alone
you can make beautiful things with your own struggles, if you feel like sharing your anxieties and issues again your community will welcome that. don't feel the pressure to make this space filtered, perfect and exclusively positive, as gratitude comes from sharing in mutual hardships too. especially in the age of highlight reel content. we love you
you are honestly such an inspiration ❤ i’m so grateful for you
I really appreciate these videos especially the food and low mental health. I have had to do even more extreme elimination diets than low FODMAP due to stomach issues and I've even lost friendships and relationships over how much I have to take care of my stomach. I am dairy and gluten free by necessity and now I can barely be social. It's been super difficult to go out and meet friends. I really feel comforted by the diversity of your meals bc it is really difficult to find low FODMAP recipes so please keep posting. I have been feeling sad recently and I'm sure it has something to do with my stomach. All this to say I love your content and it is really motivating for me to take care of my body/stick with my diet.
Being vegan for 7 years caused me to develop these same issues. My gut didn't fully heal until I quit being vegan, unfortunately.
Same same. I only realized it because I stopped being vegan while pregnant
Yall just make these excuses when u dont even try to make nutrient dense meals
@@shefali567 I was vegan 9yrs. I ate high protein and nutrients dense meals. Avoided oil and processed foods. I was and still am a weight trainer. I now only eat meats and dairy products that are from local farmers and hunters not corporations. You can assume all you want but I wasn’t going to kill my child to stay vegan. Sorry babes.
@@elanorapowell6811 good for you
Love that you chose not to refilm that recipe and also voiced that insecurity! I can super relate to that feeling in my own ways (even tho I'm not a content creator)
Obviously every body is different, however i went through every symptom you're currently having after 5 years vegan and 17years in total no meat. Tried so many different diets to fix it and got to the point where supplimenting didn't align with what i believe and slowly introduced meat into my diet. its been 4 and a half years now and haven't had a single gut issue/fatigue/low iron etc and one very healthy pregnancy without even touching prenatals. I know this wont suit everyone and i defimnitely understand the beliefs behind being vegan but just writing in case you get to the point you consider it - as i really beat myself up over it not working for me anymore and now I'm so happy I took care of my body and buy consciously.
I know it’s not vegan, but bone broth is a great start to healing leaky gut. Sending you the most positive energy.
i feel worried the cause of all this is actually due to being vegan :/
@tamardreaming Whenever vegans have health issues people always point the finger at veganism. In reality, veganism is so healthy
@@minouaif u watch her most recent video she speaks on her having health issues due to her being deficient in a lot of vitamins because of her plant based diet. She’s incorporating animal products in her food which i know will cause her to be healthier. Animal foods ARE healthy. They contain more protein and the most essential vitamins our bodies need (,: nothing wrong with veggies, but it’s not a sustainable diet. We’ve been eating animal products for hundreds of thousands of years
@@minouaBecause it is the vegan diet that's causing digestive issues. It's not healthy if it's causing harm to our bodies.
@@minouaveganism isn’t healthy. Nice try though.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this but we truly love & adore your openness. It's why we are here with you. Sending so much LOVE, beautiful woman.
Woaaa we’re so spoiled this week!
I NEEDED this video. Thank you for your transparency. Keep posting sis!
I really loved your last 2 videos where you were open about your current struggles. there is something very healing and comforting about hearing about your mental health journey while(!) you are in it, as opposed to only hearing about the reflections afterward. it doesn't feel like you are bringing this negative energy to this digital space at all! It is the truth, your truth and your vulnerability will lead to a connection to so many others going through the same thing. there can be found beauty amongst one's struggles
Hey love I feel you on these health issues. That’s great you’re focusing on gut health. I’ve experienced many of your symptoms also and adding more protein to my diet as well as supplements to support my reproductive/metabolic/blood sugar health has really made a positive difference
Using your poetry as a barometer is a fabulous idea
I've had an onslaught of stomach issues in the past month too! Nausea almost every time I eat, and occasionally horrible stomach cramping/gastritis. I think it's largely due to stress :( Thank you for these recipes! I'm trying to eat more whole foods to see if that helps (I've never really made an attempt at that before so I'm excited!)
Doing low FOFMAP helped me realize all of the issues that came from onions and garlic , which I love to add to everything 😢 but they were causing extreme gas and bloating. Hopefully I will be able to incorporate them into my diet more and more after my gut is healed. I loved this vid btw
PLEASE KEEP TALKING ABOUT GUT HEALTH
love trying new plant based recipes. thanks for sharing, home girl! xx
Real is beautiful! Real is needed!!! Let yourself be free, the real ones will
Enjoy it❣️
I’m currently struggling with my gut health as well!! I just now am getting over a whole week of the flu (or maybe weed withdrawal? Since I just quit) my appetite completely disappeared and I felt nauseous even thinking about food. Trying to force myself would just give me anxiety! Currently things are getting better and I’m able to eat, but it’s soooo hard to try teaching myself the foods I should be eating especially when I’ve never been a big cooker. Thank you Hitomi for this video❤️ it feels good to know I’m not the only one who’s been struggling with nausea lately.
I love witnessing you in your lows and highs. I love that you allow us to see you and to hear you in your abs and flows of life. You don't have to be good. Your life is beautiful art by itself.
I was feeling so low the past weeks, and as I work at an ecstatic dance center I felt bad for not dancing with the guests and just feeling like I only wanted to sit the whole time and not express low feeling self. Until I got the reminder that I could dance with the heaviness, dance with the feeling, as if it was my dancing partner, and that this could be the art that I could make from the place I was at. I started to dance and it felt so welcoming and so nourishing for my being. I know that in my work I don't only have to be happy, but sometimes it feels difficult to give space to my own process while holding space for the processes of others. To just allow truth to come through and allow my heaviness to fully be there with me I experienced such beautiful art pouring through me.
totally hear you at the end :)) at the same time even the dark and difficult stuff can be beautiful too, in the things we learn from them and the solutions we come up with. you never know what others are going through or how you could really help/inspire someone out there ❤❤ this video has helped me fs!
I feel you Hitomi! Thanks for sharing the realness and these recipes with us, they look delicious and nutritious! Great yummy recipe inspo ✨
I pray for your healing! I love your openness with us and seeing how you do your best and honor yourself with your actions. There is positive influence and there is beauty within that, and I'm excited to see what you wish to share going forward 🙏🏼 thank you thank you thank you, many blessings! 🥰
❤❤❤
hitomi you don't have to change for us, you can be real even if that means complaining or feeling not good in general! it human and we really do love and accept all parts of you!!
❤❤❤
I like to hear you talking about your issues because then I don't fell alone 🙂
I really appreciate your authenticity in these videos.
This video came for the perfect timing. Thank you so much for sharing!
we love when you talk about your SALUD MENTAL girl, just be you reinaaaa
Hi Hitomi !! Im not sure if I missed it in the video but I would highly recommend a food intolerance test !!!! Leaky gut and intolerances go hand in hand, and many of the foods you wouldn't think e.g. tomatoes can be highly irritating, much love
Beautiful things are imperfect. You dont have to share your life in ways that dont feel true. Even when youre not expressing the best or highest of emotion, thats Beautiful and plays a part in affirming all of our collective beauty. As we share in these emotions and moments together ❤️
I wish you Hitomi and everyone well
I struggled with IBS and going on a low-fodmap diet helped me identify the issue. My body didn't like ogliosaccharides (the O in FODMAP). Particularly the ogliosaccharides in alliums like garlic and onion. I am half Mexican and ate a LOT of garlic & onion in my life. I read some research about HMOs (human milk ogliosaccharide prebiotics). These are found in human breast milk and show promise for treating IBS. I figured it was worth a shot and bought some made by Layer Origin. Combining this with fermented foods helped so much! I'm now able to eat garlic on occasion.
When my gut issues were at their worst, I couldn't eat anything without cramping and bloating. Even an apple would set it off. Healing is possible!
You look so pretty Hitomi. I hope you get well soon. ^.^
it’s the veganism! try an ancestral diet for nourishment 💖 supports your hormones, energizing, kefir & bone broth is amazing for gut health.
my gut health improved so significantly once i started eating meat (esp red meat), drinking bone broth, and eating yoghurt and kefir! it’s different for every body, but veganism is unfortunately so often a cause for health issues especially over very long periods :/
amazing. make sure to make your own veggie broth when low fodmap! storebought options all have garlic and onions, which are super high fodmap
FODMAP saved me! I have stuck to a more simple, whole-food diet now; no recipes above 5 ingredients & fermented veggies + fermented dairy. They are actually hearty & comforting when you learn to cook & bake FODMAP comfort dishes. Please feature pickled recipes/pickling whenever you can.
Awesome must-try recipes😍Your home looks like such a lovely and peaceful place where one could lead a really healthy life🌄
I just found your TH-cam and it has really helped me. I hope you continue to share yourself and your remedies as I am in a similar space and using your videos as little guides has been nourishing
We appreciate your love ❤
Hope to your belly feels better soon
Every video you make is a pleasure to watch beautiful lady. Thanks for sharing all your ups and downs, - honesty is beautiful. Blessings and love to you ❤
I also have IBS/ Crohn's disease.. it sucks and definitely messes with my mental health and energy levels.
So curious to hear more about your relationship to beauty and social media!
i've read that plant medicines can cause deficiencies with iron, magnesium, zinc and other minerals ~ when i started supplementing with magnesium it felt so nourishing and sincerely calming
If you're sensitive to chickpeas, you might be sensitive to ogliosaccharides (the O in FODMAP). These are found in a variety of foods. Eliminating or reducing them in the short term helped me heal my gut.
another video, you’re spoiling us, Hitomi! 🥰🫶
Hi Hitomi, have you looked into Ayurveda? It's the only thing that healed my gut issues. The special thing about it is that it looks at each individuals dosha and imbalance to determine which foods to keep and which to avoid, it's not a one size fits all type of diet. There also some food combinations to avoid and specific ways to prepare foods that are really helpful :) hope you feel better soon
Low fodmap helped me immensely I'm so glad it's helping you too❤️ great to hear someone talking about it!
Get well soon Hitomi. So sorry for you to have this. :'( Wishing you good health and keep fighting!
thank you for your art and soul sharing !
You can manually close your IC valve (leaky gut cause) there are videos on TH-cam. I've suffered from this myself amongst other gut issues and it does really work. But ultimately our gut is where we store our emotions, so if this is a period of high stress for you then that is the thing you should focus on eliminating, not specific foods. Wishing you peace and healing.
Lots of love Hitomi 💕💕 Your videos are always a beautiful work of art to experience and get inspiration from 🙏
