I am 71 and started this last February when my husband passed away. My health is improving every day and I know what he means when he says he feels high. I had not heard that from anyone yet so when he said that I just had to respond. I tell people that if not for my bad joints I could run a marathon. I wish I could have done this years ago in the 70’s I might have been able to run a marathon. Hopefully that will happen one day.
Thanks for watching and sharing! I videographed a doctor over the weekend who went vegan after getting stints at 56 and bypass surgery at 61. He's 74 now and hikes mountain and competes in triathlons! You may enjoy that story when I release it later. ❤
Being vegan is way deeper than most people tend to realize, since i was a child i use to love meat because i didn't know what it was until one day i asked my mother at 8 years old what was in it and she told me it was animals since then i knew it was wrong at 8 years old ever since then i just ate cheese and rice just anything that wasnt and animal and here i am 22 years old completely vegan and my life makes way more sense and i feel so much better mentally and physically, I love being vegan and i will raise my children as such, god bless u all 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Awesome I would love to get your story send me a message if you're interested. VeganLinked.com/GetInTheMix
I am also curious about this story! Thank you Vegan Linked for making all this viral so all humans are being aware of the new Life style that will improve health!
@@faurangelica5667 thank you!!!! It's a lot of work and very hard to do alone. It takes everything I have
I am 70, been vegan roughly 10 years (I did not write the date of no more meat, dairy, eggs, seafood including fish). Feel amazing. When I went vegan I was in a wheelchair. Got out of it for good within 3 weeks. I also, do not get sick.
At 70, except if I sprain a foot, I am out walking 10,000 steps. Yes, I get a bit sweaty, but it showers off. And I am with the flowers and birds and trees. The colors are amazing! The fresh air is glorious.
Being HIGH is not having all your senses plugged up, just being well, and it is emotionally rewarding. It is all JOY!!!!
I still feel bad that as an intelligent person that it took me until I was 60-ish, I did not figure this out. If a person is spiritual, to me it is the natural thing to do is to be vegan.
First do no harm. But this means something to vegans which it does not mean to meat-eaters. They do not have the correct perspective as though they have put out their eyes. They cannot see the truth and I feel sorry for them. I pray that if I can wake up, that others can find this also.
We wash the outside of the body but veganism washes the inside of us as though we are a cup and now wash both the inside and the outside.
It is a spirituality deeper walk than I had known and I thought I was a spiritual person. I am Christian but have found out that my Lord of love was also a vegan.
There is much truth hidden by the meat-eaters of Christianity. All the disciples were vegetarian. The meat-eaters had no problem killing the vegan Christians. And we call it the “DARK AGES”. They feel no guilt. Veganism wipes out the excuses.
I deeply regret that I ever ate flesh-foods. And I do have grief for that. Eating meat does not let the mind think as intuitively.
You have to experience it to understand fully.
Persecution by the meat-eaters killed off the Ebionites or the Essenes who in large as Jews, accepted Jesus with joy. The meat eaters killed those who were well. Ironic. We know about the Pharisees and the Sadducees, even the Samaritans. But the Essenes were those who kept and preserved the Dead Sea scrolls. Yes, they were VEGANS. And this part has been hidden from us.
The first Christians were VEGANS! Of course, the truth had to come in this way! Jesus was perfect, He was born among the animals as why not! He made them too and loves them.
There is a better way to love animals than dead though cooked, on the end of a fork!
Spirituality means nothing if you are causing others who God made, death.
You are truly inspiring, Andy! I’m so happy seeing more and more Vegans in this world! Thank you for your story, Sir!
Been vegetarian for 26 and vegan for the last 17 years. Lately most raw, of course with cooked legumes, mushrooms, and occasionally rice and potatoes. I wish I had transitioned to total plant based much earlier.
Thank you again and much love and health!

A hello from Switzerland 🇨🇭 😊
Thank you so much @Vegan Linked I’m a big fan of all your videos and thank you Andy you are so inspiring 🦋💚.
Enjoyed hearing from an experienced vegan and mental health professional, and clearly a good human being. That advice about offering people yummy things rather than punishing them if you want them to think about veganism, that's gold. Another great interview.
This channel is extremely important & very inspirational.... we are light beings, so eat plants "light".

I used to suffer from depression, but I am so excited about life since going raw vegan.
Nice to know, thanks for sharing and watching!
Me too! I am proud to say I no longer take meds for depression. I do need to find out more about Raw vegan though.
After watching sooooo many interviews on this channel, I have to take a moment to thank you for sharing this great content!!!! It has encouraged me to go vegan, stay vegan and thrive as a vegan. Please keep up the great work!
Andy you are amazing, thank you so much! save the Animal abuse, save our planet, our health, take care
He is so sweet and spoke so well. I love the conversation with his mum.. ❤️
Dude, this guy is awesome! I love him!
Do no harm.
Respect nature and protect nature.
Good job Andy! Great to hear your voice and see the twinkle behind your eyes, and get the references to the vegetarian first girlfriend in college, the island, etc. Thanks for being true to yourself and keeping your sense of humor and sparkling personality while being genuine.
I also know what you mean about the high feeling one can get ……my lifestyle is a high raw vegan consuming fruits only till my dinner which always consists of a huge salad with usually one cooked vegetable of choice usually green peas lol cos I love em! But boy do I feel good! And my energy is through the roof …… I wake up every day feeling amazzzzzzzing 😊😀🌱♥️💛💚🌱🙃🥰😍😘
Thank you Andy! Yes. Let's schare it! We are all ONE. Humans including Animals
♥️❤️
Awesome Video, I shared it on my Facebook page, thank you for sharing, love, Diana Lipski a 10 years Vegan Lady I love this Loving Lifestyle 💕
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and sharing!!!
He is a very cute and wise man.
Love him! I'm 64, 32+ years vegan, fit, on no meds and I feel great.
awesome, would be cool to interview you, hit me up if you would like wfpb@veganlinked.com
@@VeganLinked hi friend. I'm inspired by your work. I've started having heart palpitations yesterday and I've started my vegan journey since January 1st. I skipped some meals and sometimes go to bed hungry in an effort to discipline myself. Would love your advice on this matter. Or could your recommend someone?. Thanks much. Love and light
@@iqueenspositivevibrations3931 thanks and best wishes with your search. Maybe plant based Telehealth or American College of Lifestyle Medicine might be a good start.
@@VeganLinked thank you very much. I appreciate your timely response. Bless you.
@@iqueenspositivevibrations3931 Soon, hopefully sooner than later, VeganLinked.com will have everything you need there ;) I'm still working on it though. I haven't even "officially" launched it yet.
🌍Vegan for life 🍀 Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you very much !
This is the secret to life 🙏
do no harm ,eat what grows from the earth 🌍
Great show Andy. Been a whole food raw vegan for 2 years. I’m 63 and it’s the best thing I ever did. Keep up the great work you do. 👍

"I feel high. I actually get high."
God Bless you....you're living well.
Lol, I noticed that too and got a chuckle. I honestly don't think that was intentional but maybe.... 🤣
@@VeganLinked The grin at 4:20 tells it all.
@@leiferickson9817 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
A really great interview, once more!! Thank you very much for your work ❤
Hello Andy. Looking good! Thank you for sharing.
So inspiring to see older folks who have been vegan for years and years talking about it.
And it's inspiring that you watch and comment thank you!
THAT smile caught me 4:23
So nice! Thank you 🙏
I constantly reach out. Not only AM I proudly Vegan, but I have a lot to offer on the Soul level. Since he mentioned it, I wanted to offer once again. I don’t wish to bother others in the comments sections but I’m reaching out to make connections to my planetary family. I love you All and hope to communicate and maybe even speak to or meet you someday. God bless!
I'm working hard over here to create something in addition to this channel that may help
@@VeganLinked please let me know if and how I can help. I’ve completely removed myself from the corporate world and refuse to work a “taxed” job to support a criminal system. I’m solely alive to raise awareness and help our planet. Looking to find a place to put that into operation but as much as I’ve tried to get people together for a good cause for 5 years now, there’s almost no one in my area interested in helping the environment, the animals and our all around way of life. Not mad about it, just not sure where my skill can be put to the best use. I actually want to travel the world and speak to people about ways to cure the world, which of course includes letting our animal brothers and sisters live their lives, raising awareness on how to replenish soil, and how to strategically stand up to the tyranny in humanity. I have a lot more knowledge than I can postulate in a comment section and have over 3000 videos on various subjects.. I just don’t promote myself because it feels like I’m pushing truth on people who “choose” to not want to hear it.
@@danalexander186 i will need help once i get the site finished. For now try sending me a message via VeganLinked.com/contact
17:42 I'm a mild jerk about it. 😂 I love this guy.
This is my tribe
Great video! Keep making these videos I love the series!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have over 20 more ready scheduled to publish and almost that many more shot and ready to edit. Some really awesome ones on the way. ❤ maybe I can get your story one day!
We should do a video together! If you're interested wfpb@veganlinked.com
I started my vegan journey January 1st. I am very happy and excited to be vegan. I have however started having heart palpitations. I dont know if its because I've missed a few meals and sometimes go to bed hungry because I'm trying to discipline myself. Seeking advice. Anyone.
Try to stick with eating whole plant foods only like beans, green, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts seeds, herbs and spices. And if you're used to eating animals, plants tend to have less calories because they're lower in fat so you may need to eat higher volumes of food until you acclimate to this at least. You may want to get assistance from a nutritionist, dietician, or physician that practices lifestyle medicine. I am hoping to make my site a good resource for this sort of thing I'm almost done building it and should release it later this year. VeganLinked.com. But you may want somebody local to you. See if someone is at American College of Lifestyle Medicine or Plant Based Telehealth.
@@VeganLinked thank you very much for the info. I am happy to report that i have started eating more whole foods and stopped the intermittent fasting and the palpitations have stopped. I will try to find a local nutritionist to guide me while I transition. I think i wasn't getting enough calories as i suddenly made the change while also fasting. I am learning more each day and becoming more confident and knowledgeable in what and how to eat. Thank you so much my brother. You're such great help and inspiration. I am proud of myself for making the decision to go wfpb. Love and peace.
@@iqueenspositivevibrations3931excellent, thanks for the follow up! I think intermittent fasting is great, I have been for a long time, essentially keeping my eating window narrow (within 8 hours or less). But, I didn't start doing this until I learned how to eat a proper variety of whole plant foods.
@@VeganLinked yes. This i belief is the key, learning how to eat a proper variety of whole plant foods to cleanse and nourish my body after years of misguided eating. Thanks for your guidance. May peace and love be yours all your days. Much respect
I'm inspired just for today I will be vegan one day at a time
Ah, that's great. But why not every day? Every day is a great day to avoid hurting animals, living healthfully and sustainability
I support veganism ❤
4 meat industry CEO missclicked dislike ;D
Thx for the amazing talk
Phenomenal
thanks
I love this channel! The people on here are really inspiring. Sometimes I feel like the whole world just doesn't get it, and one feels very alone as a vegan the whole time. Especially at work, when they order pizza for lunch for everyone, or plan the team event in a French cuisine restaurant without any vegan options... I often feel like I don't really want to be friends with people who don't take any interest in the subject either. I find it very self-centered and closed-minded not to take an interest in the suffering of animals and what you can do about it.
I'm hoping my website can help ameliorate this loneliness problem maybe you can help me take the site to another level?
I just need a few people to actually use the site in such a way that listings are being created regularly by vegans genuinely wanting to work with or converse with other vegans. ❤️ veganlinked.com I just started slowly introducing it to the channel two videos ago.
Why do it if not necessary ……
That phrase speaks volumes
You could epitomise the content
of this phrase as irrefutable.
For instance :- why would you destroy a rainforest just to grow crops that as much as 80% are solely used for cattle feed…..
If we stopped factory farming and used approx 20% of the animal crop to feed the world, it would end famine, and reinstate the rain forests to its indigenous people and creatures.
Health wise plant based wins hands down, no more additional greenhouse gas’s that add to global warming and ending the unthinkable bullying , beating and killing of innocent fellow earthlings.
You explained the reason to us ,
”Why I (you) no longer use animal products……..because It’s not necessary “
Thanks Andy, that puts it all into perspective, peace for all x
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤
It’s crazy we have created a multi billion dollar factory farming industry, that essentially isn’t required…..and has done incalculable damage to our planet……
Keep up the good work Andy!
:)
Yup.
a question just crossed my mind: since one of the premesis of veganism is ethical, how would an inuit become vegan?
"While it is not possible to cultivate native plants for food in the Arctic, Inuit have traditionally gathered those that are naturally available, including:
Berries including crowberry and cloudberry
Herbaceous plants such as grasses and fireweed
Tubers and stems including mousefood, roots of various tundra plants which are cached by voles in burrows.
Roots such as tuberous spring beauty and sweet vetch
Seaweed" -- Wikipedia

🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
31 years!!! Wow. I'm not quite there but one lifestyle change I've made that feels great is juicing daily
Cool! Have you also tried time stamps?
What?
@@VeganLinked When people show different question topics on screen, some add "time stamps" on the progress bar so they can see which question is during what times.
@@Daren_PNW Well I thought I was doing that with putting The Times in the description and it used to simply work that way so I don't know if I need to do it different now or what I haven't had time to look into it. I hope what I'm doing works. It used to automatically just create chapter points but I noticed recently it didn't seem to be working like it used to. If you look at the description you'll see what I mean where I indicate each one. Thanks for helping by sharing that since it's something I recently noticed and was wondering about. I need to figured it out because it does take time to indicate each in the description so I don't want to do that in vain.
@@VeganLinked all good, thanks 4 all you do.
Oh, Bart Kay is going to have fun with this one
Bart Kay is like one of the most disgusting people on the planet. He reminds me of a preschool bully with a serious learning disability and inferiority complex. I think the best content he could ever get would come from looking at his self in the mirror. I hope for you're own mental well being you don't follow that bag of crap.
😁
Why need B12 suppliment , Good bacteria can also make B 12 if fermented food eaten and digestion good
Because fermentation is not a regularly practiced phenomenon. We don't truly know the efficacy of depending on this solely. I do have some videos coming out later that will touch on this. In time... but for now it's important for everyday busy people on average to supplement, So it seems is the scientific consensus
Of course as an individual you should consult with your nutritionist, dietitian, or physician concerning your specific lifestyle and needs.
🗣️Is it fair to say that killing when you don’t necessarily have to kill, a clear sign of mental illness???
Almost like zoosadism

I hope you are not sponsored by Brian and his wife institute
Nope, never even met them. I want to interview them. I know there are rumors and believe me, I could tell you about drama across probably every organization, group, state, etc vegan or not. Humans will make a mess of everything. But thus far I have no absolute reason to be concerned, anymore than I am about most people. If it is news related that is often misleading and hyperinflated. I've already witnessed how off the news can be first hand lol. I'm curious though, elaborate
Dr. Georgia Ede, a psychiatrist, recommends a heavy meat diet to heal mental issues.
Dr Georgia sounds like he is sick and dangerous. Dr Georgia doesn't work at a wellness center that's healed thousands of people for half a century like this psychiatrist has. Once you realize there is absolutely no need to ingest animals and have them go through hell for mere taste, cultural conformity and stupidity well, you would have to be a bit of a psychopath or malevolent antisocial.
I'm wondering how Dr. Georgia Ede (whoever she may be) can justify a diet of this sort. Heavy dead flesh that drags you down. Part of mental health is creating consciousness of what eating flesh means - violence. It's a form of extreme cognitive dissonance.
Great man with good values, for sure. I do not think, however, that proclaiming homeopathy as something you believe in is at all helpful for the vegan cause. That is when I stopped listening., and I seriously hope you never proclaim your belief in homeopathy in a vegan promotion interview ever again. In my mind,, that is asking for not to be taken seriously.
I include a very diverse array of people and this comes at the world from every angle. So If this intelligent and successful and very beneficial man to the world wants to talk about homeopathy I don't have a problem with it, whether I believe in it or not is irrelevant. Because I am not God or all-knowing in any way. I just know that veganism is perfection. I'm sure I will have plenty on my channel that don't talk about it or even believing it. I only fact check and monitor health claims generally speaking when it comes to eating whole plant food specifically. If someone is into religion, naturopathy, homeopathy, rieki, ti chi, yoga, vax or anti vax, trump or Biden, all lives or BLM, even some processed versus strictly whole food, pro or anti abortion, any race or sexual preference, any age, any shape, etc... does not matter to me.
@@VeganLinked Some of those things does matter to God though
Please explain what homeopathic medicine u take . Just wonder why homeopathy mentioned.
Do you have friends who are not vegan? Do you take them seriously? If you don’t take people seriously because of their quirks or different to you thinking prepare for a big disappointment in life.
