    Hi guys! I'm excited to answer some frequently asked questions today and share some fun family photos and video clips from traveling Antarctica, Thailand, Bali and Kenya. Making this video now lit a fire under me to book my next adventure. Where should I go next?? And good luck on the giveaway. xo - Lisa

      Thank you so much Lisa for your effort you put into all your videos. I really look forward to them. My favourite one so far was your kitchen gadgets that you can't live without. That was fun. Love seeing your clean, neat and tidy kitchen and wish, some day, my kitchen could be clean, neat and tidy haha :) I'm trying, ok?!? :)

      Literally born 1 year apart. Thank you for inspiring me. It's not possible for me to achieve what you have with your health *at the moment* but it gives me hope. I have multiple autoimmune diseases and in fact nearly everything you listed as well. I truly believe nourishing my body in every sense is THE only answer. And I cannot wait to be able to slowly adapt my kitchen and lifestyle to better serve my body and spirit x
      Ps Maldives? I know it's cliche but at some point it will be under water. It's so beautiful. Or the Greek Isles.

      Best of luck Marzigeisha and wonderful suggestions re. the Maldives or Greek islands. I'd like to suggest Canada and specifically Quebec and the Laurentiens, just because I'm from Quebec :) and partial to my area. It's really beautiful. But the mosquitoes are fierce in the summer.

      To “stan” is to idolize.
      Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
      1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

    Hi Lisa, I was searching for spice drawer organization and watched your video. Since then, (2 weeks ago), I've watched dozens and dozens of your videos. Well, I've done a major organization, tossed away plastics and non-stick, bought All Clad, glass lock and stasher bags. I've tried several of your recipes, did meal prep and took a 30 foot trailer of stuff to the dump. You have honestly inspired me and my life is changing quickly. I've started a Pilates program too. I'm very grateful for your channel Lisa. I'm 62 and was feeling so frustrated in my disorganized life but didn't have the will to change - it's been so freeing to me. Thank you!

You are such an inspiration!

I’m a new subscriber to your channel and have yet to see a video I haven’t saved to my “recipes” or “health” playlist. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing life changing information! ❤️

    I work in corporate marketing and live in Manhattan. Before accidentally watching one of your meal prep videos a couple weeks ago, I don't think I'd ever used my kitchen. Texted my friend the other day saying I'm making cashew milk and she thought my phone was stolen. You've definitively helped me become less reliant on Seamless and now I'm actually thinking about what it means to eat healthily. Your recipes are so appealing and simple it's hard not to try. Real life is messy and not all food channels acknowledge that enough. Keep up the good work, Lisa!

    I came here today after watching your 9 ingredient meal prep vlog....I would love to see more esp vegetarian and winter type meals...I find it difficult to find tasty recipe ideas, esp without mushrooms (allergy)

    Not a lot of people would share thier personal story to complete strangers, but I'm glad that you did. A little spark of admiration ignited a flame of passion and curiosity I thought I had lost, and for that I thank you. I admire your honesty and bravery, and I wish you the best in your future, you truly deserve it.
    P.S. although I just reached 30, I still act like a 10 year old with my brothers and sisters, it's just fun that way hahaha!

    Obsessed with your channel!!!!! The answer to your question about which diet is best is what makes me believe you are very genuine on what you preach. There are so many people out there promoting this or that diet, but everything in life is a balance and we are all unique. Love it!!!!!

  • @caledonia171
    @caledonia171 4 года назад

    Lisa, thank you for all the great content you provide! You are such an inspiration for a healthier lifestyle.
    I was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases and several allergies and food intolerances all topped by a bunch of stress related illnesses (including hospitalization) that led me to completely downshift my professional life to focus more on my health and wellbeing. Your channel and blog are a wonderful help to set the right path for my life.
    It was a pleasure getting to know you better through this little Q&A. You seem like an awesome person.
    Since your work is inspiring so many people and improving their lives, I am sending some positive energy to the universe to bless you in return. May all your life's wishes come to fruition and may your life be filled with love, health and happiness!
    PS: Since you were asking for travel ideas: Try Austria! Vienna has a great, historic culture + has been leading the list of best cities to live in for years. The alpine regions (e.g. Tyrol) are a wonderful area to go on hiking trips - you seem to love hiking, so... :)

    Hi, Lisa. This was a very cool video. I loved learning more about you and your life, as well as hearing your journey toward a healthier lifestyle told by you (as opposed to reading it on your website, lol). I agree about your thoughts on nutrition, and I love your positive attitude about approaching gluten-free alternatives!
    Additionally, your marketing success is clear in the success of Downshiftology. Your thoughtfulness is evident in the production value of all of your videos, and the way you utilize social media attests to that as well. Honestly, I feel like you could make a video of nothing and it would be aesthetic. Thanks again for sharing! :)

    • @Downshiftology
      @Downshiftology  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks so much for your very kind words - I truly appreciate it! And happy to hear you enjoyed learning a little more about me. I'll try to weave more personal stuff into videos in the future as well...now that I'm getting a little more comfortable with RUclips. :)

  • @luciegallagher2710
    @luciegallagher2710 6 лет назад

    I absolutely love your channel- it’s brilliant. I’m not gluten free but I have been diagnosed as lactose intolerant which before I knew what it was caused huge problems for me. I can definitely relate to what you were talking about with the tiredness and lack of energy, thinking about it it almost lead me to have anxiety about leaving the house. However, after two days of a lactose free diet I started to feel better and now after years of feeling not quite right I feel great again. You are absolutely right when you say we must listen to our bodies and if something doesn’t feel right keep searching for an answer. Keep up the fantastic work! Ps my family and I are coming to California in July- I can’t wait! X

    • @Downshiftology

    Recently discharged from hospital, lots of time to research health and wellness and food! I've seen 1 or 2 of your videos in the past and upon further research I am even more impressed and inspired. So many recipes out there are flavorless, and contain ingredients that wreak havoc on my digestive system. You make things uncomplicated, fun, informative and delicious. Thanks for being fearless, self defined, true to yourself and graciously sharing it all with us. You are as talented as you are beautiful. Blessings!
