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.
I was about to unsubscribe then I listened to this vid and realized we have alot in common that's live at 41 you are doing what's needed , thank you. be well.
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 horrible when it comes to any sort of beauty routine.......?? You must be kidding,not only your personality,You look ABSOLUTELY gorgeous 💛!!!! I even like how you speak (I am Japanese and your English is so clear and easy to understand foreign subscribers like me❤) BTW thank you for drinking Maccha in proper way as we do,I am so happy!!! Arigato💛
Oh, you are too kind! But thank you so much! And yes, I much prefer to make matcha with the bamboo whisk than in my blender. It's almost meditative....and it helps me slow down in the morning. :) x
Nice! I always enjoy listening to experiences. This one felt like a TED talk actually. I love the sophistication in your videos and the fact that you literally reply to all your comments. Ah, and congratulations for the 100k mark! Way to go. Cheers!
Great video! I’m 31, about to start nursing school (I aim to be a travel nurse), and I couldn’t be more appreciative to come across another successful, independent, single woman who values life, travel, self care, and health. You are such an inspiration! Also, I just so happened to watch this video in 2021 when my cousin is turning 40 and her birthday is August 31st ☺️ She’s independent, successful, and beautiful like you. 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! ❤️
It's so nice to get to know you on a more personal level. Thank you for sharing. I love your channel for its aesthetically pleasing and informative content, but most importantly it's your charismatic and humble personality that makes it so unique. Looking forward to your new posts, Lisa!
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!
Yay, congrats on your first batch of cashew milk Avi! That's wonderful you're trying new things and thinking about what it means to be healthy. Truly, it's just about taking lots of baby steps that add up over time. So keep at it! And so funny about your friend thinking your phone got stolen as well! 😂 It's good to keep our friends on their toes. Ha!
Lisa. Your candidness brought tears to my eyes. I just felt a surge of motivation to keep going, keep dreaming, keep trusting that everything happens for a reason and that there’s always something good down the road. Thank you for always being such an inspiration, and specially today!
Why did this make me tear up? 😭 you are wonderful and inspiring, i’m so happy you’re living your best life, and thank you for encouraging us to do the same!!!
Your a Virgo.you are very clean and organized.very intelligent.your down to earth.you carry yourself with grace.and I enjoy watching you so much.thank you so very much.
Goodness...I have so many things to say. First of all, like always, this video is stunning. It's like each video gets better and better. Secondly, I love you even more now after getting to know you (hope that's not weird lol). I love how down to earth you are, so intelligent, well-rounded and creative. You've built this community of equally wonderful people that are so supportive of you and each other. I'm SO glad that I found your channel. It's honestly just a matter of time before you hit 500k and we are all celebrating that with you. Thank you so much for all of your fabulous and original content. Cheers to 100k (and soon to be 500k) 👏🥂😊
Oh gosh Tia, I don't even know what to say in reply to your kind words, except thank you THANK YOU! I truly appreciate your support and I'm bursting with gratitude for your positivity on my channel. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that 500K mark and then we can definitely celebrate together! 🙏💕
Downshiftology Absolutely! I think it's important for us to givd you feedback. I hope that just like you, we can also inspire you to keep pushing, doing exceptional things, and following your wellness journey. I give it about six months until you get to 500k 😊
it’s been 3days since i found your channel and i’m binge watching all day!! you have a quality and great content!! and you being 41(now 42) is amazing 😭😭 you look like you are 30 wow!
Love the meal prep videos of all this healthy, fresh food! As a single 32 year old I also love that you are enjoying life & who you are. What a great reminder to us all. I also spent a year in Indonesia, my favorite place on the planet. 😉Thanks for opening up!
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!
This is one of my favorite videos! I loved learning more about you and seeing pics of your family. You look a lot like your Mom. Your Dad looked like the sweetest man and if I could I would have reached through this screen and given him a huge hug! I loved hearing about your traveling adventures. You are really an inspiration to me. You have worked hard, overcome huge obstacles and used them as an opportunity to learn, grow, and help others!! Sending good thoughts to you and your family from South Carolina. Thanks for sharing all your awesome videos, tips, recipes, and kindness!! 🌸🏵️🌻🥑🍅🍍🌎🌞💖💙💜
I know it's strange but watching this video made me want to seat with you drinking coffee at some cafe and listen to all your travel stories. And I do want to win, already enter too 😘😘😘 thanks for doing this.
I’m so glad to have found you! I’m off of gluten and all inflammatory foods right now (just for 3 weeks) to give my gut a rest, and I’m endeavoring to adopt a healthier lifestyle and meal plan! My biggest concern is getting my 2 toddlers on board. If you have any advice to that point... let me know!
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!!!!!
I just found your channel this week and I so appreciate you and your authenticity. You’ve given me new ideas with my kitchen and recipe. Thank you for being you
This is the first time i have ever subscribed to anything online. I am new to a healthier lifestyle and struggle to find quick and easy to follow recipes. I love the fact that you simplify cooking and your tutorials are to the point. Keep up the good job.
Love your personality and transparency...Thank God for finding you...love alll your videos...I am inspired and encouraged to become a healthier me! Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU CONTINUOUSLY!!!!
You tube introduced me to you and I am so glad! I have always struggled physically with mysterious symptoms and while I have never been diagnosed with anything autoimmune, once I changed my diet the symptoms went away. Your eating habits mirror mine as well as give me new ideas of cooking the ingredients I love. Thank you!
I love your channel! All your videos have a strangely calming effect and I could listen to you talk for hours. I also really love your meal prep videos! Definitely gonna start eating healthier. Thanks so much for making these wonderful and amazing videos. Sending love from Singapore!
I like every single bit of this video and I'm so happy you're happy ☺ and the love that fills up your family shows up so much in your words and your eyes ☺
I feel in love with your channel and your channel has helped me keep in encourage to eating healthy and keep meal prep!! Thank you so much for the videos!!!! Your a very beautiful and confident woman!!!!
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!
I’m a new subscriber so this was a great intro to meet you, thank you. I’m sure I’m not the first to say it... but I hope you meet someone soon or have met someone (if that’s what you want of course)! Whoever they are will be so lucky to have such an intelligent and naturally beautiful woman. I am the same age as you and married at 38 And now I’m perimenopausal with no children. I never thought I’d not have children! Best wishes to you 💖💖
You are so relatable and I am grateful you found your way to your blogs and RUclips channel. Your information is invaluable to me as I navigate a few medical issues myself.
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)
My birthday is Aug 31 too! I appreciate that you don't scream at me or have a fake enthusiasm, like food prepping is the most exciting thing in your life. Good nutrition is supposed to support everything else you do in your life. Laughingly...I run a home business bakery out of my home! I do fancy cookies for special events so I have to eat healthy and be full or I will fill up on the broken ones.
YAY! You're welcome, thanks to you. I've been enjoying your videos, but most of all the things I've learned, what I loved it more was the video you did recently, about how to preserve the avocado for longer. Thanks for your recommendations and advice on simple and healthy meals! You motivate me to keep eating healthy. I hope I can win the Vitamin blender and keep making you amazing recipes! 😊
I love your story. It is wonderful. I do agree that a kitchen is never clean and no one can keep it clean as it might look on youtube, just by puting things away after you cook is what generally works. Thank you for your story and tips
I just found you and you’ve inspired me so much! I have a serious autoimmune with psoriatic arthritis and it’s ravaging my whole body. I’m not going to get on meds yet I’m going to try following your recipes for 30 days to see how I feel. Thank you so much and God bless you today
I love this video!!! I appreciate your honesty and how you don’t describe yourself to a specific diet, just what works for you and your symptoms! I have been watching your videos to get ideas for healthier snacks and meal prepping.
Your videos have inspired me to finally learn how to cook. I’ve tried about 14 of your recipes and I can’t wait to try more. My husband thanks you because if it wasn’t for you, we’d probably be eating In n Out every night. Thank you so much, Lisa!
I'm so happy to hear that Nancy 😊I hope both you and your husband continue to enjoy all my recipes going into the new year! I have tons of ideas and videos planned very soon.
your videos are not only good eating advice but I find myself just watching them to relax. I also have gotten eczema in my late 20s and in my mid 30s now. Never would have thought of allergies to something. Thanks much ;)
Thank you sooo much for sharing your story!! Its so wonderful of you to put your life out there for others to know. I’ve always felt that it creates a sense of community so people don’t feel alone in their journeys.
It was such a pleasure to know you better. Love your videos. I've already entered the international giveaway, the price is just what I need (and my birthday just around the corner :).
I am in love with your channel. I just found you yesterday, immediately subscribed, and started binge watching. Thank you for what you do. I was diagnosed with celiacs about a month ago and am still learning about it and relearning how to cook. Everything I’ve tried to make gluten free so far has tasted awful but seeing your videos gives me hope. I can’t wait to try them out.
I am so grateful to have found your channel! I have been going through a 2 year journey with stomach and digestion issues and i have finally been diagnosed: i am severely allergic to gluten, eggs, dairy and wheat😰 and also have an appointment to get check for celiac desease. Fortunately theres wonderful people like you who make this process easier💕 your channel & getting a Vitamix as a gift has helped me tremendously. Thank you and God bless🙌🏼
Hi Irsi - I am so glad you have discovered Downshiftology as well! Finding out you have to be gluten-free isn't always the easiest at first. But you will learn to love wholesome, natural ingredients that taste just as delicious. I hope you enjoy all my videos and recipes along the way 😊
Thank you Lisa...it was fun getting to know you better. We all have different journeys in life, yet it is amazing how much commonality exists. I look forward to enjoying more Downshiftology as your journey continues!
I have a daughter that's allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (actually all nuts). Could you possibly do a video with a few recipes as I would really appreciate that. Thank you!!
I think what you do it's so good to be a very influential model to people, I am 17 years old boy and I look up some things from you, keep that work on.
Thanks for sharing your story! Life has its own way of putting us where we should be despite our efforts to be elsewhere. A health issue two years ago forced me to change my life and I couldn't be more thankful it happened to me. Thanks for inspiring us!
You’re admirable and such an inspiration. I have Hashimoto’s and while I know that watching my food is the best way to feel good, I frequently fall off the wagon. Your videos and Instagram account are becoming a great help for me. Much love to you from Colombia
You inspire me so much. I quit my corporate job a few months ago after health challenges. Never really cooked before either. Your channel is like a roadmap to navigating this new lofestyle!
Welcome to Downshiftology then Cassandra! I know how you feel, as my health was not in a good state during my corporate days and I know that definitely needed to change. I hope my meal preps and healthy recipes can help get your body back on track and feeling good again 😊
I’m new to your channel but super inspired by you. Your travels and struggles with food are very relatable to me. I’m very thankful for all the info you are providing!
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... :)
I relate to your story. Mine was the same curve, on a shorter timeline. I worked hard in school, I burned out, I developed an illness, I travelled while healing my symptoms, and I came back to begin my new lifestyle of eating clean, exercising daily and sleeping much more
Ahhh you just made my heart relax a bit. I was diagnosed with celiac this year and I have a student exchange to Asia coming up in a month. I'm so anxious about not being able to eat there, but your words cheered me up a bit ❤️ I love everything about you and your channel, keep up the good work! I've tried many tricks from you and they've always worked great. Also, it's great I can follow all of your recipes and be sure it's safe for me to eat!
Oh no! I am sorry to hear that you now have celiac. But don't worry. It seems difficult to deal with at first, but you will learn that it's not as bad as you think 😄Which parts of Asia will you be going to ?
@@Downshiftology Thank you ❤️ I'm sure I will learn quickly. I'm going to South Korea as I'm learning Korean for my major. Thank God I've indulged in most Korean foods before my diagnosis and I've also learned to cook it, so I know what to avoid for the most part haha. I'm also grateful there's a small stove in my dormitory so I can whip up a quick meal if I'm hungry.
Please make more videos about travels and how do you manage to keep your energy level as high /stable as possible, i stopped traveling outside my own residence please in Germany because everything became so overwhelming when i travel now starting from finding something i can eat , to stressing about catching trains or flights ...and that’s a shame because i used to love wondering and i am still young and have a whole world waiting for me to discover ...thanks again for the amazing channel and the inspiration 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are so beautiful, inspiring and intelligent. I look up to you in so many ways and I’m so happy you’re doing well here on RUclips. You deserve everything good that happens for you. Cheers on 100k, Lisa!
I think I have celiac’s disease because I feel extremely awful after I eat gluten, the bloating, the stomach pain, and the lack of energy. I usually skim through RUclips for recipes and I like the ones on this channel. So glad to have stumbled upon this channel
Knowing more about you and about you life stories is really exiting thanks for sharing it with us. I've been following you for a while now and i like how calm and inspiring you are.Keep going !!
This was really interesting. It was nice to get to know you after enjoying so many of your videos. I appreciate the healthy and appetizing recipes you share with us as well as your ease and style in sharing them. Your personality is pleasant and I love your simplicity and style in attire and decor. Thanks also for your transparency! I look forward to appying the self care focus you shared in this video and I'm sure many of us would love to learn more about your travels and healthy eating abroad. (Ps. I subscribed after watching the 9 Ingredient Meal Prep video- so helpful!) You are doing a good work. Thank you
Aww, thanks so much Rach for your kind words! I really appreciate it and I'm happy you enjoyed that meal prep video. I'll have more videos on healthy travel as well in the future. :) x
You are an inspiration. I am on a quest to strive to consistently be the best version of myself, and Thailand & Bali are my two favorite places (so far!). Thank you for everything that you do. Keep up the amazing work.

I’m so glad to have found you! I’m off of gluten and all inflammatory foods right now (just for 3 weeks) to give my gut a rest, and I’m endeavoring to adopt a healthier lifestyle and meal plan! My biggest concern is getting my 2 toddlers on board. If you have any advice to that point... let me know!
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!!!!!
Thanks so much Daryl! 😊Here at Downshiftology, we're all about balance and to understand that everybody's body is different.
I just found your channel this week and I so appreciate you and your authenticity. You’ve given me new ideas with my kitchen and recipe. Thank you for being you
Thanks so much Noreen for your kind words! And glad you have some new ideas. :) x
This is the first time i have ever subscribed to anything online. I am new to a healthier lifestyle and struggle to find quick and easy to follow recipes. I love the fact that you simplify cooking and your tutorials are to the point.
Keep up the good job.
Thanks so much Olga! I'm happy you love my recipes and videos! :) x
I literally so happy that I found your channel. I love it
I'm so glad you're enjoying all my content so far!
Love your personality and transparency...Thank God for finding you...love alll your videos...I am inspired and encouraged to become a healthier me! Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU CONTINUOUSLY!!!!
Thank you for this. You are such an inspiration the UN, all 7 continents. Wow. You should have a Ted talk. Thank you.
You tube introduced me to you and I am so glad! I have always struggled physically with mysterious symptoms and while I have never been diagnosed with anything autoimmune, once I changed my diet the symptoms went away. Your eating habits mirror mine as well as give me new ideas of cooking the ingredients I love. Thank you!
I love your channel! All your videos have a strangely calming effect and I could listen to you talk for hours. I also really love your meal prep videos! Definitely gonna start eating healthier. Thanks so much for making these wonderful and amazing videos. Sending love from Singapore!
Thanks so much Lynette! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos. :) x
I like every single bit of this video and I'm so happy you're happy ☺ and the love that fills up your family shows up so much in your words and your eyes ☺
I feel in love with your channel and your channel has helped me keep in encourage to eating healthy and keep meal prep!! Thank you so much for the videos!!!! Your a very beautiful and confident woman!!!!
It's always so cool to learn more about the people i'm subscribed to on youtube! Loved this video!
Yay! Happy you loved it. :) x
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!
I’m a new subscriber so this was a great intro to meet you, thank you. I’m sure I’m not the first to say it... but I hope you meet someone soon or have met someone (if that’s what you want of course)! Whoever they are will be so lucky to have such an intelligent and naturally beautiful woman. I am the same age as you and married at 38 And now I’m perimenopausal with no children. I never thought I’d not have children! Best wishes to you 💖💖
You are so relatable and a true inspiration to women. Thank you for your wonderful content.
i’d really like you to talk about your time in afghanistan :)
And can you please make a afghan cooking video?
Perhaps in a future video. ;)
You are so relatable and I am grateful you found your way to your blogs and RUclips channel. Your information is invaluable to me as I navigate a few medical issues myself.
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)
I've got another meal prep coming up very soon!
My birthday is Aug 31 too! I appreciate that you don't scream at me or have a fake enthusiasm, like food prepping is the most exciting thing in your life. Good nutrition is supposed to support everything else you do in your life. Laughingly...I run a home business bakery out of my home! I do fancy cookies for special events so I have to eat healthy and be full or I will fill up on the broken ones.
YAY! You're welcome, thanks to you. I've been enjoying your videos, but most of all the things I've learned, what I loved it more was the video you did recently, about how to preserve the avocado for longer. Thanks for your recommendations and advice on simple and healthy meals! You motivate me to keep eating healthy. I hope I can win the Vitamin blender and keep making you amazing recipes! 😊
So glad you enjoyed that video! Best of luck to you on the giveaway! :) x
I love your story. It is wonderful. I do agree that a kitchen is never clean and no one can keep it clean as it might look on youtube, just by puting things away after you cook is what generally works. Thank you for your story and tips
You totally inspire me 🤗 👏🏻👏🏻 I want to be like you! 🙏🏻 love your videos.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
I just found you and you’ve inspired me so much! I have a serious autoimmune with psoriatic arthritis and it’s ravaging my whole body. I’m not going to get on meds yet I’m going to try following your recipes for 30 days to see how I feel. Thank you so much and God bless you today
You are such a beautiful inspiration! Thank you. 👏👌💯💐
I love this video!!! I appreciate your honesty and how you don’t describe yourself to a specific diet, just what works for you and your symptoms! I have been watching your videos to get ideas for healthier snacks and meal prepping.
Everyone's body is different so I never want to specify on a specific diet. But just to always use clean and wholesome ingredients when cooking 😊
You seem such a lovely, intelligent and educated lady. I wish you to have someone equally special like you in your life to enjoy adventures together.
Your videos have inspired me to finally learn how to cook. I’ve tried about 14 of your recipes and I can’t wait to try more. My husband thanks you because if it wasn’t for you, we’d probably be eating In n Out every night. Thank you so much, Lisa!
I'm so happy to hear that Nancy 😊I hope both you and your husband continue to enjoy all my recipes going into the new year! I have tons of ideas and videos planned very soon.
Thank you for sharing your story :) What an amazing and inspiring woman!
Thanks so much! :) x
It's been AMAZING to watch your journey and see you build this thing! Congrats, Lisa!
Thanks so much Chad! It's amazing how the journey has morphed over the last couple of year, huh? ;)
OK you got me at "no special diet for all" part. I subscribed looking forward to all your videoz
Yes, absolutely! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Thank you so much for bringing joy back into eating healthy. Can't wait to try them in my kitchen.
It looks like you have interesting karma and purpose here on earth!
your videos are not only good eating advice but I find myself just watching them to relax. I also have gotten eczema in my late 20s and in my mid 30s now. Never would have thought of allergies to something. Thanks much ;)
Glad you like them! 😊
Where have you been all my life? Complete admiration for you. When I grow up I want to be like you. ♥️
Aww, thanks so much!
Thank you sooo much for sharing your story!! Its so wonderful of you to put your life out there for others to know. I’ve always felt that it creates a sense of community so people don’t feel alone in their journeys.
Thanks so much for your kind words Suzy! I'm very fortunate with this community that's developed here on Downshiftology. :) x
It was such a pleasure to know you better. Love your videos. I've already entered the international giveaway, the price is just what I need (and my birthday just around the corner :).
Thanks so much Natasa! Good luck. And happy early birthday! x
I am in love with your channel. I just found you yesterday, immediately subscribed, and started binge watching. Thank you for what you do. I was diagnosed with celiacs about a month ago and am still learning about it and relearning how to cook. Everything I’ve tried to make gluten free so far has tasted awful but seeing your videos gives me hope. I can’t wait to try them out.
I'm a new subscriber and you've already stole my heart :') you're so adorable! Have a blessed day!! 🙏💖
Aww, thanks so much Letty! :) x
I am so grateful to have found your channel! I have been going through a 2 year journey with stomach and digestion issues and i have finally been diagnosed: i am severely allergic to gluten, eggs, dairy and wheat😰 and also have an appointment to get check for celiac desease. Fortunately theres wonderful people like you who make this process easier💕 your channel & getting a Vitamix as a gift has helped me tremendously. Thank you and God bless🙌🏼
Hi Irsi - I am so glad you have discovered Downshiftology as well! Finding out you have to be gluten-free isn't always the easiest at first. But you will learn to love wholesome, natural ingredients that taste just as delicious. I hope you enjoy all my videos and recipes along the way 😊
please talk more about the endo and how diet change affected it
Your energy is so beautiful. Thank you for all your videos- you are a true inspiration to us all. Much love to you. ❤️
Wow, you’re such an inspiration!
Congrats on your 100k! 👏🏼
Thanks so much Ana! :) x
You just changed my lifestyle and my way of handling my autoimmune illness . Thank you for ever. Rosana
Happy to hear I can help in any way Rosana 😊
You’re 41! I thought you were in your early 30s 😫😍😙
Thank you Lisa...it was fun getting to know you better. We all have different journeys in life, yet it is amazing how much commonality exists. I look forward to enjoying more Downshiftology as your journey continues!
Thanks so much Joy and glad you enjoyed the video. And you're right, so much commonality. I think especially with this community. ;) x
Enjoy your videos. Hope to win the knife set. Keep up the awesome work. XO from Toronto, Canada.
Thanks so much Sharon! :) x
I have a daughter that's allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (actually all nuts). Could you possibly do a video with a few recipes as I would really appreciate that. Thank you!!
I'll add that to my list. Also, make sure to check out my website as you can sort by nut-free recipes. :)
Ok thank you!!
It was so inspiring to watch this video. I am always so proud of being a woman because of women like you. Thank you for all you do. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝
Loved your recent meal prep video!
Thank you! I've got another one coming soon. :)
Me too, this is by far my most favourite video on the chanel, have watched it at least 10 times.
I think what you do it's so good to be a very influential model to people, I am 17 years old boy and I look up some things from you, keep that work on.
100% respect
It made me happy to see that 5 years later you have 2.5 million subscribers
You look a lot younger and brite 👏💦 I love your recipes and I can't wait to see a video of a birthday cake on your channel 🎂
Thanks for sharing your story! Life has its own way of putting us where we should be despite our efforts to be elsewhere. A health issue two years ago forced me to change my life and I couldn't be more thankful it happened to me. Thanks for inspiring us!
It sure does! Thanks Graciela!
Hi my 13th birthday is on may10
Happy birthday!!
Downshiftology thank you
Happy birthday! Turning 13 is a special milestone - enjoy your year! 🎂🎁🎈🎉
Hapie bday🎂🎂
Gbu.. enjoy
You’re admirable and such an inspiration. I have Hashimoto’s and while I know that watching my food is the best way to feel good, I frequently fall off the wagon. Your videos and Instagram account are becoming a great help for me. Much love to you from Colombia
You inspire me so much. I quit my corporate job a few months ago after health challenges. Never really cooked before either. Your channel is like a roadmap to navigating this new lofestyle!
Welcome to Downshiftology then Cassandra! I know how you feel, as my health was not in a good state during my corporate days and I know that definitely needed to change. I hope my meal preps and healthy recipes can help get your body back on track and feeling good again 😊
I'm loving all your videos, very inspiring. I hope you do another Q&A video soon. Blessings.
Thank you! Will do!
I’m new to your channel but super inspired by you. Your travels and struggles with food are very relatable to me. I’m very thankful for all the info you are providing!
Thanks so much Jessica for your kind words! And glad that my story resonated. Welcome to the community! :) x
You are awesome. Im so happy that I found your channel. ❤️
Welcome to the Downshiftology community 😊
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... :)
I relate to your story. Mine was the same curve, on a shorter timeline. I worked hard in school, I burned out, I developed an illness, I travelled while healing my symptoms, and I came back to begin my new lifestyle of eating clean, exercising daily and sleeping much more
Ahhh you just made my heart relax a bit. I was diagnosed with celiac this year and I have a student exchange to Asia coming up in a month. I'm so anxious about not being able to eat there, but your words cheered me up a bit ❤️
I love everything about you and your channel, keep up the good work! I've tried many tricks from you and they've always worked great. Also, it's
great I can follow all of your recipes and be sure it's safe for me to eat!
Oh no! I am sorry to hear that you now have celiac. But don't worry. It seems difficult to deal with at first, but you will learn that it's not as bad as you think 😄Which parts of Asia will you be going to ?
@@Downshiftology Thank you ❤️ I'm sure I will learn quickly. I'm going to South Korea as I'm learning Korean for my major. Thank God I've indulged in most Korean foods before my diagnosis and I've also learned to cook it, so I know what to avoid for the most part haha. I'm also grateful there's a small stove in my dormitory so I can whip up a quick meal if I'm hungry.
Please make more videos about travels and how do you manage to keep your energy level as high /stable as possible, i stopped traveling outside my own residence please in Germany because everything became so overwhelming when i travel now starting from finding something i can eat , to stressing about catching trains or flights ...and that’s a shame because i used to love wondering and i am still young and have a whole world waiting for me to discover ...thanks again for the amazing channel and the inspiration 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are so beautiful, inspiring and intelligent. I look up to you in so many ways and I’m so happy you’re doing well here on RUclips. You deserve everything good that happens for you. Cheers on 100k, Lisa!
Thanks so much Soraya for your kind words! Big hugs. :) x
I think I have celiac’s disease because I feel extremely awful after I eat gluten, the bloating, the stomach pain, and the lack of energy. I usually skim through RUclips for recipes and I like the ones on this channel. So glad to have stumbled upon this channel
Thank you so much for opening up and sharing your journey. I really enjoyed this video and all your videos!
Happy to hear that Arian!
Knowing more about you and about you life stories is really exiting thanks for sharing it with us. I've been following you for a while now and i like how calm and inspiring you are.Keep going !!
Thanks so much Sam! :)
This was really interesting. It was nice to get to know you after enjoying so many of your videos. I appreciate the healthy and appetizing recipes you share with us as well as your ease and style in sharing them. Your personality is pleasant and I love your simplicity and style in attire and decor. Thanks also for your transparency! I look forward to appying the self care focus you shared in this video and I'm sure many of us would love to learn more about your travels and healthy eating abroad.
(Ps. I subscribed after watching the 9 Ingredient Meal Prep video- so helpful!) You are doing a good work. Thank you
Aww, thanks so much Rach for your kind words! I really appreciate it and I'm happy you enjoyed that meal prep video. I'll have more videos on healthy travel as well in the future. :) x
You are an inspiration. I am on a quest to strive to consistently be the best version of myself, and Thailand & Bali are my two favorite places (so far!). Thank you for everything that you do. Keep up the amazing work.
Best of luck! 😊
She said Kenya!! Woohoo!!! Karibu tena Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 I’m such a huge fan of yours! Keep up the good work😘😘😘
Thanks so much! x
