- Health and Success in many things comes from a lifetime of choices and having t he strength to stick to them, plus the desire to learn, adapt and grow. Many people make choices based on instant gratification and comfort, rather than long term investments. Here are things I do that most people don't, which makes a big difference in the lives for those that do.

I live in Laos. It's a poor less fortunate country in southeast Asia. We can't afford stoves and ovens. We live off the land. We grow our own food, raise chickens for meat, catch fish in rivers. This is why most Lao people are slim and fit. We have to put work to it if we want to eat.
Yet you.can afford that computer you are typing from. You live like the rest of the developing world. Most people there are slim and fit because they are not fed Western poison. Africa, Asia, South America live off their land and they are slim. The problem starts with poor diets and lifestyles that the world has bought into.
@@ButternutBanyana How do you know they own that computer? In asian there are computer places...in korea it is called PC bang. Or, could be a friend computer. And just because they do things on tje land doesn't mean they can't afford a computer or phone. Could be 2nd hand.
@@milkandspice1074 you prove my point, second hand or not they own it.
Me, me, me * hands raised* I stop eating at 5pm-ish, go to bed at 10pm and wake up the next day at 5am. Still experiencing with HIIT but definitely love cold showers
Dang good for you!
Congratulations here’s your medal 🏅
Same here dinner is my last meal,fast til breakfast the next day , water is my life source!

I think it's so incredible you've never had alcohol or coffee.
Do you still drink Alcohol and coffee??
@@Mdoekosad no !
@@Mdoekosad i do, and i love it!
I think the same. I still love my one cup of black coffee a day so very very much!! :-(

I don't watch the news or read news papers, ever, I am also an introvert (when I was younger I thought I always had to be around friends, but as I've gotten older, I love getting to know myself), and I am a vegan that eats a ton of raw veggies and some fruits (I have always had a "salty" tooth). I go to bed by 10:30pm at the latest, and wake up at 5am to go for an hour walk, and I also end my showers with cold water. I also meditate everyday, I practice 10 minutes of Wim Hoff breathing (life changing), and I write in my gratitude journal daily.
I have cut back on alcohol, but still enjoy a glass of wine once in a while, I eat cooked vegan food, that won't ever change, because I love my organic pasta and bread, lol, and I don't think eating it occasionally is bad, and to be completely honest, I have seen too many raw foodist go back to eating animals and their secretions, because they weren't getting enough calories or just not satisfied with only eating raw food. I am getting back into working out more, I am loving my rebounder, but want to include more HIIT workouts.
For me it isn't about being perfect or staying young (I'm actually enjoying getting older, plus I had my 20's, and I don't want to go back, lol), veganism comes first for me (the animals and the planet), and my health is very important as well, I just want to do what makes me feel and look my best at my age, and that includes all of the above. 😊
I've been vegan for about 17 years . I eat mostly raw . I also eat alot of fruit which I truly believe we are definitely designed for . I eat tons of big salads daily as well, also steamed veggies . Also I've been adding lots of steamed potatoes and sweet potatoes the past couple years or so and my energy levels , skin , muscle tone , mental clarity and just over all sense of feeling totally satisfied have gone way up . Also my hair is thicker and healthier now . Im.eating more food and have actually lost weight ! I've also cut back alot on the fats like oils , nuts and seeds and avocados and coconuts , just having them occasionally. I haven't been sick in any way in 11 years and U always keep an open mind and continue learning ways to improve upon what I am doing . I've also quit eating chocolate, apple cider vinegar and nutritional yeast , made a huge difference in so many ways 🙂
@@aprillmarienelson4372 yes! Nutritional yeast was a huge inflammatory food for me. YUCK! Also, when you say your energy skin etc has gone up was that just from eating well or was it when you started more steamed potatoes and veggies in your diet after being raw?
I am proud of you.
I love Wim Hoff!! ✌✌
I'm a counselor and so far everything I've heard this gentleman say is spot on. I'm super impressed. A bad trend in counseling right now is focusing entirely on how people were victimized in some way. And yes there is a place for that. But if you live your life there you will never grow. This guy focuses on the CHOICES you have to make to change for the better. He is basically telling you to take responsibility for your life by making GOOD CHOICES. This guy is better than most counselors with a degree I think.
Your ending Markus reminded me of a quotation I wrote many years ago: "Where I am today is a result of decisions I made in the past. Where I am tomorrow will be the result of decisions I make today."
This guy is just so refreshing! Definitely part of the 1% of aware, NOT ignorant, wise, individuals (vegan) on this planet and profoundly scientific.
It also makes perfect sense how if your body temperature goes above around 42 Celsius - you will probably die, just like food dies when you heat it above that. Our bodies are so perfect, it amazes me everyday!
Thank you for changing my life, I’ve been watching many of your videos and now I’m eating healthier and I’m not feeling sick with pain anymore. Some how you stand out from all those people on RUclips you speak with truth and honesty from the heart and that’s what I love about you. I’ve learned a lot from all your videos thank you for helping me change my life around. I appreciate the time and work you put in to making these videos.
Markus, you changed my life. Thank you so much!!
Right on Markus!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽I’ve been doing nearly same for 15 yrs-ice baths included! My kids even kept a chart…how long could we each stay in & other variables! I’ve also completed 21 day water fast in 2018, 10k hours hot yoga over a decade, and breastfed 11 years (3 kids, average of 3.5 yrs per child). Alcohol once a year, never smoke anything whatsoever, never take any medications. I also had terrible health history (ulcers, migraines, even partial paralysis for 5 years). Most people call me an extremist, but I’ll take extreme health dividends over extremely painful ulcers, migraines and who knows what else! Aloha from Maui 🌺🌺🌺
Hey, lady- good for you and the productive and effective example you seem to relay to your children. The universe needs another generation carrying on good habits! 🙌
Thanks Markus 💕
Third day raw. Eating a broccoli, carrot, cilantro, red onion, tomato, avocado, spinach salad as I watch. It really is our choices that separate us from mediocrity and excellence 🤍 Thanks for being you and sharing your story!
I just love you Markus and Cara. I'm so glad I found you all those years ago. You'll always be my inspiration and the lesson I need sometimes when life gets hard. Thank you for everything, always.
I love them too!! They are so real and not trying to get you in their seminar or buy their products!!! The moment they do that, they will be like all others. Others, get you in to a free webinar then there is a catch! They just live by example, being real, passionate and really caring for people! I naturally want to look what they are selling, and yes, finally bought my starting over set!!
@@olgakuzmenko6907so true. They are the real deal. Natural and not preachy or fake. I love them.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. There are a few of us who take it to heart and live like no one else now so that later on in life we can live like no one else… Free from chronic diseases, ache, pains, healthy, vibrant and full of energy and life💕
at 43 young I can say this - don't eat grains (especially wheat, -edit, soaked buckwheat seems ok), no refined vegetable oils (this is the root of most diseases and number 1 thing to cut out), and regular weights and get good sleep. My bad habit is sleeping too late, but when I sleep properly it really shows.
no olive oil ? no bread ? no brownnwheat ?
@Symbat Sabit dark rice?
@Symbat Sabit Hey :) I rarely have grains, but if I do it would be a white rice with lower GI where possible, such as Basmati. Brown rice should be avoided despite it's slightly lower GI as it has many antinutrients such as phytic acid, which leads to dental decay. White rice, especially when soaked, rinsed and cooked is one of the least damaging grains to the digestive system. It does spike blood sugar though. That said, there's no nutritional reason to have it, other than perhaps to assist athletic performance :) I hope this helps
@Neha Kudalkar i think brown rice is better ecological brown rice with curry olive oil chilli peoper garlic tomatoes .... incouod go on and on
@Symbat Sabit You're welcome, I'm happy to hear it helps :) With the brown buckwheat, unfortunately it, and other seeds/grains do all contain certain amounts of these anti-nutrients to varying degrees, with the vast majority being in the skin/bran of the seed/grain. It's natures way to preserve and protect the seed for germination. This can be reduced by removing it, or sprouting or fermenting, or all of the above. Anyone trying to heal their teeth however, I would avoid grains, certain nuts (eg. brazil nuts and sesame seeds some of the worst for dental decay) and seeds completely. To stop and prevent dental decay - this is not to offend any vegans reading this, as it is the best way to heal the teeth... to halt decay and prevent it (and yes I have done this myself) the human body requires pre-formed fat soluble vitamins A,D,K especially K2 mk4 - preformed. Ie. vitamin A MUST be a natural source of Retinol (not beta carotine) and soforth with the other ones. These, plus highly absorbable forms of minerals calcium, phosophorous, magnesium etc. etc. The highest form of all of these is grassfed cheeses whish should also be Raw. Parmigano reggiano is a raw, high quality one which is also lower in salt which is great as other brands can be a bit too salty. That as a minimum while avoiding the grains/seeds will put you in a much better position and should remove sentitivity within hours or days. Ideally (again, for human heeth healing) include this raw cheese, highest quality liver, and raw (if possible) grassfed butter. The more yellow and naturally made the better. I would also include soup with seaweed (eg miso) as this will contain many trace minerals and made in a soup they are highly digestable. I hope this helps and good luck :) I have not had a single cavity in 10 years since including these in my diet and avoiding the antinutrient foods.
Hi Marcus. I took your advice on a couple of things. And I am glad I did. I got an inversion board a couple of years ago. And it has helped so much with my back and feeling great in general. I also took your advice on adding hydrogen peroxide to my water pick. I do the Five Tibetan Rites every morning and walk every day. But I am going to start with your suggestion of weight training. I agree with you on days that I fast. I feel so much clarity and have more energy. Plus you're giving all of your internal organs a good rest. Thanks for all the shared wisdom.
Hey I’m interested in the added hydrogen peroxide to water .. where can I find that info or can you explain..🙏
@@collettedoyle9353 Checkout his “Secret to fix bad breath” video
@@1ach1 thank you I will right now 🙏
Had to look up what the "Five Tibetan Rites" are -- ok, so it's yoga. Yeah, I tried yoga myself in 2014, and after about 1-2 weeks of doing it, I had the most bizarre demonic spiritual experience in the night. I did some research on yoga afterward, and now I steer clear of the practice! Recommend watching ex-yoga teacher Mike Shreve's videos on yoga; the stuff is scary.
I think alcohol really ages people. I was at a wedding weekend a few weeks back and had several comments and even questions about how I looked so much younger than my peers. In retrospect, I think alcohol is a big factor…they drink daily, I drink never. I honestly don’t think most people realize how bad and toxic alcohol is.
@@sherril.562 right! I don’t eat sugar either, but I know people who don’t think alcohol is sugar. “I don’t eat sweets”(while chugging a beer). If you tell them it’s amplified sugar they roll eyes and stick their fingers in their ears. Or say they drink to “relax”, I’m like..go watch a sunrise or sit at the beach. People defend it as if it’s helpful, not harmful
There have been a number of studies showing that the alcohol DETERIORATES the heart muscle! That's when I stopped my weekly wine consumption. I've never had heart issues, but in runs in my teetotalers family.
@@GenXGranny it's also yeast. Candida overgrowth is real
@@simmiedavissimmiesings8185 they told generations that a glass of wine a day is healthy and full of antioxidant goodness from the red and purple fruits. Harmful propaganda
@@simmiedavissimmiesings8185 True. My ENT doctor gave me a list of things to avoid since I am allergic to yeast among otber things, and alcohol was explicitly listed in that category. Never cared for alcohol anyway. I look much younger than my age while at a tall height.
Hit the nail on the head! Bravo! Thank you for taking the time do all these videos with you and Cara.
No etoh, no drugs no tobacco here either. 68 and still working as a full time nurse practitioner. Take all the Markus products and recommend them to all my patients.
Very inspirational. That’s why I watch your channel and tell people in my family about it
Love watching your videos, Marcus and Cara. You both make us feel so normal. Especially love the recluse part. Most people that know us wouldn't believe that my other half and myself never have people over. Most of our socializing is online. We also love the beach, riding our bikes, and just spending time in our food forest like John Koheler. Thanks again Markus. Keep on keeping on. 💞💞💞✌✌✌
"Life always begins with one step outside of your comfort zone"...
Love, love Markus. I don't watch news, TV and I don't have any friends. Happy!!! I don't eat after seven. Heavy weights still to come💪
What wrong with having good positive friends?
@@amazonjunglez1188 nothing lol but they are hard to come by
@@racheli2598 Ahh I see. And the older you get the harder is it to find one because everybody is set into their own way. I find it harder making friends now than when I was younger.
@@amazonjunglez1188 I agree. It’s harder when you aren’t consistently with people everyday like when we were young and in school. I find I only need one or two good friends now and I’m very happy and close with my immediate family, so that’s good for me☺️
Love you, thank you for the remainder to stay on track !!❤️❤️🥰
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone! Thanks for always speaking your truth....many are listening and many are inspired!🌞✌
I’m a work in progress Markus ☺️ changing my way of doing things on a daily basis is paying off. Thank you for the inspiration ♥️
Thank you so much Marcus for your LOVE and KINDNESS in sharing your WISDOM of a healthy lifestyle with the goal of helping so many people improve their lives.🥰
Thank you Markus!!! Short, but clear information. So glad, that I‘ve found you and Cara a lot of years ago. Love you 🙏😘😘
One of your best videos ever, even though you have a Ton of Great footage that I always love to watch. Thank you for keeping it simple and inspirational. It Really resonates with me and Wishing you and Kara a Happy Sunday💐
Best videos on RUclips!!! Thank you Markus and Cara!!!
Dear Marcus and Cara, I really appreciate your videos. I used to workout when I was in my forties and now I'm in my sixties. Because of your video, I started working out again it's only been one month. But like you mentioned it was hard at first, now it it's becoming a habit. I had a personal training when I was in my forties and I remember everything he taught me oh, I had a problem eating after 8 p.m. but now I'm going to stop at 7 p.m. keep making those encouraging videos, because I really do appreciate them and thank you
I'm proud of you Maxine!
Most of what you were saying I have felt intuitively since I was a teenager. I put all these you mentioned into practice although HIIT is a new concept. I’ve always done yoga and short quick walks but I am interested in trying it. It also helps that I am mostly solitary except for my kids company and I’ve never felt the need to fit in my follow trends! Thanks for your help Marcus and Cara
You and Cara seriously inspire me so much!! You are my favorite raw/vegan youtubers by far!! Thank you for your videos!!
Clarity says it all. God bless you both. ❤️
Thank you Markus for all your videos. You changed my lifestyle for better .I apriciate you.
Thank you Markus ! That was again a good video to inspire us ❤️
I love you and Cara....bless you. This is 100% resonant and it feels really comforting to know I’m not alone.
Great Video, I really enjoy all you tips and tricks to living a better life. You and Cara are beautiful inside and out.
Markus, you are a true inspiration! We definitely live in an 'instant gratification' type of society!! THANK YOU so much for your on-going inspiration.
Excellent. Thanks one of your most valuable videos that I have scene so far.
Thank you Markus living proof of health you are ' and those looks that body that knowledge don't come easy but it's worth it '
It is a huge chunk!! Markus to have been eating raw for so long.If only I started years ago to change the way I eat.You look so good for what you are doing.Thank you for sharing
Cara inspired me to make a big salad each day. I also gave up pasta and cooked sauces, it's made a great difference. I am now practising eating later in the day, around 4pm, and next will be a weekend fast schedule like Markus. Thank you very much.
Danke für deine harte Arbeit Markus. Tolles Video, riesige Inspiration. Danke ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Markus, I needed this!
I’m glad you chose Sunday morning! 💕
Marcus, thank you. I am processing this video differently in my own way, but your words are applicable not only to health but also ambition and determination, something I have lacked - separating yourself from the average is the main takeaway from here. One who conforms to a sick society ends up sick himself.
Spot on video!!! Every word you said is so very true. Tried many different ways of eating through my life. I found fasting for 20 hours, eating for 4 hours, is THE BEST way to live your daily life. Wish people would just give it a dry. Thank you for posting! Best, Angela
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle Markus! I started to created this lifestyle for myself in 2017 started with intermittent fasting 12-8pm then Water fasting then cold showers a then juice ate vegan for 30days realized that eating how I was eating wasn’t going to just change over night started incorporating more green smoothies into my diet this year has def been revolutionary I did two extended juice fast one for 10 days another for 14 days and cured my period pains which I’ve had since I was 10 years old and now it’s been a month since I’ve eating my a high raw vegan diet and you and cara have tremendously helped me this month so thank you!
What a great source of inspiration! Will definitely give it a try. Thx Marcus!
Thank you Markus and Cara!! much love 💗💗
You keep reminding me of whats most important in life. My true priorities. Thank you
Appreciate the encouragement to keep a good thing going-habits! You HAVE helped. 💎
Please stay so passionate and authentic brother! The only reason I admire you both is there is no sales pitches or catches after the video! You do not lure people in to get them to buy something, you simply are, most purest, honest, caring , passionate souls! This is so rare these days!! I bought you starting over set, I have been picking wild herbs since C V started, so having all the wild goodness in a blend, filled to rim( so rare else where) is out of this world appreciated! Keep shining!!!
Thank you so much Marcus! You are truly an inspiration! Much love to you and Cara
its amazing the positive changes you can have in your life when you treat yourself like someone you love.
The best video you've made. Thank you for reminding us.
Love it! Appreciate everything you're doing and the example you are setting for others. I gathered a few new points I was missing in my healthy routine from this video. Thanks so much!! It is always so fun to watch your enthusiasm and energy! I too want to stay young while I am on this earth. You are an inspiration. 🍎
One of the most valuable videos I have ever seen anywhere. Thank you so much.
When you're rich with money, and have few worries in life, and not living like a refugee......you can afford to eat raw..... Yes, us peasants can choose to Not eat crap, but life gets in the way, and we are just trying to survive
I understand thinking that way...I used to think the same thing. Yes, fruits and veggies are expensive, and I still get pissed off, if I pay premium price for what looks like a nice piece of fruit only to discover its overripe, underripe, basically useless, and a waste of money. Sure seems unfair when you're trying to do the right thing!
If I were asked, I would simply say just be careful that you're not looking for an excuse to take the easy road. Takes daily vigilance to not fall into a "poor me" mindset.
I've expanded my horizons by learning about all the wild edibles surrounding me, even in the city (and they're free!). Learned how to "poison test" mushrooms for example. Can grow microgreens in my windows for pennies in all weather, seasons. In a snow-covered, Rocky Mountain winter I can harvest wild green watercress from a shallow creek, still flowing under the snow/surface ice. Have you looked into acquiring the cheap "overripe" bananas and maybe less-than-cosmetically-pleasing-looking veggies in your supermarket? Point is, have you explored ALL possibilities in your area?
And best of all, from doing these things, I learned how little food I actually need to not just survive but thrive, which makes the expense argument somewhat moot. Good luck.
ruclips.net/video/xikeaa3VBEc/видео.html
@@anncaldwell2592 Well said. Most people don't realize that. I can "feel" hungry and start chowing down on fruits and veggies, and am amazed at how quickly I'm satiated, and it can last for hours (and I'm not talking about nuts, olive oil, or avos).
Another great video! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with the world! So grateful for these inspirations! 🙏
I don’t eat after 4pm. Sometimes it’s 5 pm, but rarely. But I go to bed at 10 pm. I can’t go to bed with all that food in my stomach. My eating window is 10 am-4pm basically. And no sugar. Lots of veg and nuts and seeds. Love it !!!!
You and Cara help me like no others. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
All great advice! I have listened to this several times. I am going to write each thing down. I want to get younger like Cara and Markus!
Hey Markus,
danke für deine tollen Videos - every word is true 👍🏻.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
Hello everyone. If this is new to you, but you have chosen to watch it, then guessing you are interested. You will be amazed at how bringing in any of these changes to your life, make you feel. If it’s too much to go all in, just start with something and as you feel better ( which you will), introduce other changes too. I am so grateful I found Markus ‘s videos a few years ago and I am now in my mid 50’s. My asthma has improved, my skin looks better , energy levels are great and despite the weird era we find ourselves living in, I am optimistic about life. Give it a go! Best wishes xx
I do my very best to follow all your health advice and it works for me. I noticed ever since I stopped eating really late at night that I don't snore anymore and now I wake up earlier and feel a lot better.
I really do enjoy listening to you talk about what you do for health and I realize it does take a commitment and it takes no is determination to be healthy and to do a certain regimen. I have a long way to go to be more disciplined and and you really do inspire me!! Thank you!!!!
Great content as always - I love this one! I always thought I had a "clean" diet, but since changing things up and tweaking more over the past 3-4 years, I've started hearing my BODY telling me where to work and what to change - or cleanse, that sort of thing, on the inside. It talks to you!!! WILD! When your body is telling you, do a liver cleanse; your colon is clean for now - or cleaner, but we need to work on the liver; that's when you know what this is all about! I seldom have cravings of any kind anymore - unless - and this is where I listen to my body telling me I'm lacking something. It is incredible what the body will tell you when you start treating it like a temple - God's design. I'm far, far, far from anything perfect, but this stuff that Markus and Cara talk about is real! And the products are the best of the best! 💖💖💖
This is so awesome! I dream of a moment when I say the same!! I am on a path now, the one he so passionately talks about, starting to drop some habits and getting out of the Matrix!! So exciting to see many waking up, many not doing it for money, but for the love of people and caring to help without profit. The profit comes naturally, for I will want to see, what is the stuff they are on, what helps them to be the way they are and wanting to become most purest, healthiest, authentic version of myself!! May many more beautiful souls come to hear him and Cara, their passion, authenticity, and love are contagious!
GREAT Inspiration & motivation to continue to improve! I don't want anything to do with the medical system. At 59, I'm more of a recluse because I don't want to hear about the pills & surgeries people in my age group take and talk about. The greatest compliment I get is when I go to a community pool and someone asks me if I'm old enough to live here and if I've done botox or fillers.
Thank you for even more helpful information. I would love a video on what changed in body, mind and soul on your lifestyle. Like clarity, good memory, soft skin, vision improved, no BO, lucid dreams... Thank you for everything.
yeah pretty much all of that and more wink wink
OMG I love this video so much. Thank you Markus!
Thank You! This video is very inspirational. I appreciate that it gives me this drive that I needed.
I feel totally inspired to immediately implement all of your great advice! Thank you for this!😊
Love listening to you and Cara … I like to pick pieces from you and add to my life ( hopefully for the better but it’s taking time ) Many thanks xx
I’ve recently started eating at around 12 or 1pm. I’m surprised to find I’m not hungry at all. I have water. I go to the gym in the morning and don’t get tired or hungry.
Then we have an early dinner 5pm and go to bed at 8. Still waiting for the weight loss. But am happy and feeling much better. Don’t eat bread or wheat either. Vegetarian too for all my life. (63 now) Thanks for all your encouragement and advice. It’s greatly appreciated love and blessings from 🇦🇺Australia 💝😇💐✨

Thank you for sharing Markus. Great as usual✨
Wow. So much content in this video. Very thought provoking. Thank you. ❤
Too much fasting actually messed with my hormones. It's such a fad these days, I think it's important to listen to your own body. The dose makes the medicine. And we are all different with that dose. Same with hiit training. I did it for years and just recently noticed my body never liked it and needs more yin, restorative exercises like yoga and light cardio instead. We are all different and unique and it has nothing to do with being avg or not. There are loads of avg ppl doing all those things, fasting, ice baths, and whatevers trending these days. What separates the avg ppl with the successful are the ones who listen to their internal guidance not what others are doing (though they can help to some extent). Copying what someone else does ain't it. Its listening to your own individual wisdom.
I started intermittent fasting in 2018 and it messed up my hormones BIG TIME!! It also destroyed my gut. I have been trying to recover my health ever since. I was healthy before I started, I just wanted to lose 10 lbs. what a mistake!
Yes very well said. everything is medicine and everything is poison depending on the dose. his intention is good but I consider some of his routines bordering on self harm, especially from an emotional standpoint. More emphasis on being kind to yourself rather than beating yourself into submission would go a long way. And what makes us imperfect also makes us lovable. 😅
Yes, yes, yes. I agree! Your internal guidance system can tell you everything you need to know in order to succeed. Sometimes that internal guidance system is difficult to listen to but with focused attention it will lead you down a path to your every desire. Wise words. 🙏
@@Koort1008 Yes how you break it is even more important than the fast itself in my opinion. I used to mess that up a lot eating too much but I slowly learned how to do it properly. And for me lots of raw vegetables is the worst! Everything I thought I was "supposed" to do turned out wrong because I was listening to other people instead of really feeling MY body. Ive done probably 70 days in a year and a half of fasting but from my experience women need to be much more careful than men when it comes to fasting and it should never be done long term. I experienced the benefits but then stayed on slightly too long. I have hypothalmic amenorrhea and adrenal issues but slowly am regaining all my strength back, NOT from hiit or cold showers or lots of raw harsh vegs. People have good intentions and are trying to relate the invisible dynamics of their success but it has nothing to do with a list of things to check off. It's being in alignment with YOUR truth.
@@DaveG-qd6ug Exactly I used to beat myself into submission doing all the things for health I could possibly do and ironically it led me into the worst health of my life. I've let go of all the shoulds and now I feel light and free and everything is happening for me instead of against me.
"Very informative and inspiring...thanks for all the good reminders...good to hear them again ...keepn on track, ty!"
You are an inspiration Markus .
Your vids truly help me.
Thank you for sharing! I would say we have very similar lifestyles except for the cold showers..haha. I do 80/10/10 currently so that is probably the biggest difference. I recently turned 49 years old and Cara definitely inspired me to start incorporate some weight training. I also do HIIT and Tabata. Getting out into nature and sunshine every day is essential. Have a beautiful day!
I always look forward to you and Caras videos of lifelong inspirations and truthbombs!
Markus,
I've been looking for for the SPEECH OF A LIFETIME.
That video I shared 100s of times in my ministry to uplift so many people. Is there any way I can have access to it?
That was the most BEAUTIFUL video ever!! Love you Markus!
Thank you🙏😇🤗You and Cara are an inspiration ❤️
Thank you. This is a lot of wisdom! I'm going to watch this a few more times until it sinks all the way down.
This feels so true, Markus - thanks for the reminder and the good laughs.
👧🏼 & 🐕
Solutions can be so simple - by observing nature, animals & children we can learn a lot.
The bad thing in this case is if one is surrounded by people that value and live instant gratification constantly - takes some strength, self-discipline and inner reflection to not stray away from ones path.
Much love to you & Cara. ❤
I eat at 12 a salad then working then eat around 5 pm and stop at 6 latest. I go to bed at 10. So my body dont get food for 18 hr´s. The only exception is when i have to work at night. There i need a minimum of food, just to keep the machine running. My experience is that i have crzay amount of power and energy. Can work without break and get a hundret times more stuff done. That wasn´t always the case. I´m coming from eating pasta my whole life. BBQ, meat, pasta, deep in the nigth etc. until once my body had an issue and i found my self on the operation room in the hospital. That was 2018. From this day on i changed everything and just followed my intuition. And it was the best thing i can do. I still eat meat, but only once a month or all two month and then only a high quality meat. I found your channel this year (2023) and i am happy that you say the truth.
You're RIGHT!
I'm a work in progress on changing certain habits. I stopped gluten, dairy, sugar and other things years ago.
I joined a Hotworkx infrared sauna workout place and need to start going 3 x week. :) There are weights there and a few at home.
I'm working on meditating daily.
You are very generous here. I do most of this and got the life to prove it. I’m 56 shortly and excited with a second chance of life after raising my kids.
In my opinion you're 100% right with what you're saying...I start eating at 12 PM and cut off at 7 PM sometimes 8PM .. But I am going to challenge myself to start with you're recommendations...Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful !
Thank you for sharing what is working for you . Yes this helps for sure. Keep providing these positive videos.
Beautiful amazing talk, I got really motivated right now!
Discovered Wim Hof and his breathing/cold water techniques several months ago and the differences have been dramatic for this 72 year old. On my third month of a daily 2 minute cold shower, and while I don't look forward to it, or "get used to it," I certainly look forward to being done, and reaping the benefits for the rest of the day.
What are you experiencing from a cold shower? 😱
I am usually cold from intermittent fasting and thinking about cold showers makes me shiver....
Just curious...
@@nandiamond9099 At first just the anticipation made me look for any excuse to delay turning the dreaded faucet knob to the "cold" position. When I did the cold would take my breath away and usually evoke a yell and shortness of breath. But I would do it even though any slight shift in position would trigger another gasp. That's the gory details...lol.
While showering I'd be heating my towel in a dryer, and post-shower, would reward myself with a hot towel wrapped around my shoulders sitting in an 80 degree bathroom.
Benefits? For whatever reason it seems to have lessened my food appetite, and I have energy all day. My mind is sharper. Also do deep breathing exercises under the spray. Used to take midday naps (I'm 72) but don't feel the need for those anymore. All in all, it just seems that after a cold shower I can handle anything the day throws at me: it's brand new, the past doesn't exist, everything's fresh, like its all downhill from there. Aren't you glad you asked?...lol.
Yes I am very glad I asked and thank you for that riveting answer .,,,.I'm 73 years young and now I must try it as I would be extremely excited to reap the benefits you experienced. I could use some renewed energy as I take too many naps but have never been lazy as I had 3 businesses that took a lot of energy when I was younger but I loved being busy. Perhaps the onset of being older and retired has something to do with mindset. Now I want to be energized and get out of my comfort zone so thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Much appreciated and inspiring to say the least.
Namaste
@@nandiamond9099 Wow! So happy I read both your comments. I am only 52 years young and you two are an inspiration (as well as Markus and Cara of course)! I am making many changes based on the wisdom and life experience shared in these videos. I can't abide the cold but I started taking cold showers and you get used to it as you do it more often, same with exercise, nutrition and so many other things. Humans are extremely good at adapting to change. My advice is start slow. I started doing HIIT and cold showers after Markus' latest animated (and fun) video. I am in poor shape so 3 sprints and a short cold shower is currently my record haha! But I know that if I keep it up I will soon reach that 7-sprint 20 minute cold shower and even look forward to it. I also know it will be worth the short-term suffering as Markus details. Wishing both of you health, happiness and a long life.
Namaste!
@@nandiamond9099 Love your answer. One of the things I like about youtube is how it can bring discerning people together, albeit oh so briefly. I always learn something from Markus' videos and to communicate with a thinking, questioning, willing-to-try-new-things peer in the comments section, sharing experiences while validating one another is just icing on the cake (wheat and sugar-free, I'm sure, lol).
Thank You so much for sharing!!! Love it Love it Love it!!!!
You are truly amaaazing Markus! Angelika, Kapstadt.
Wow thats crazy! Awesome Markus. I lost my way, hoping to find it again. I found you years ago and you were my first influence to raw food, it helped me lose 90 pounds back then but after having another child and being in a relationship with someone who didn't support my lifestyle I ended going back to SAD and I am sad :( You are an inspiration, keep up the good work teaching others.
By the way, this video made me smile and laugh so much which was needed. I used to be that person, no news, no social media and then the virus hit and it changed all of that unfortunately. I can’t thank you enough for the reminder that it’s okay for me to get back to basic and ignore the hysteria again for my own peace of mind🙏🏻💕
Right on!! I can't believe how much of what you do I'm already doing, so excited to make just a few more tweaks and enjoy life to the fullest!!
