I gave up pork and beef in 2021. I was still eating fish and chicken on a Keto diet. In 2023 my health had taken a drastic turn. I was diagnosed with 2 forms of cancer. I decided that day to go completely plant-based. I don't eat meat of any kind. I don't eat fish, I don't eat dairy. I don't eat processed foods., etc. I'm a survivor. I feel so much better after years of abusing my body with food. Anyone reading this, please listen to your body. Do your research on what's going on in the food/meat industry.

Hi Brandon, Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoy watching your videos.. I am 67 yrs old been Healthy Plant Based/Vegan roughly 4 1/2 years. I was a 28 year survivor of stage four breast cancer until recently and just this past July was diagnosed with a totally different type of BCA *HIGH-GRADE DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU* so called “baby cancer” had genetic testing completed came back for negative genetic connections. Both BCA came back as caused by environmental first time in MI second time after living in WI for 24 years. I honestly believe that our country allows so much garbage to be sprayed on our foods (fresh produce known as dirty dozen) and genetical modified items that not in any form food allowed to be added into our food system. 😢
I too am the only vegan of my family. Before I was on very toxic medications that made me addicted and sluggish. I became vegan because of my love for all sentient beings, but i had no idea how changing my diet would affect my mind as well as my body. I withdrew from alk my meds and now fully med free.
Thank you for differentiating veganism and plant based.👏🏾👏🏾 People really be acting like they don’t know the difference. I’m about 80% plant based, 100% vegetarian, and I support veganism as much as possible🤗♥️
Thanks for sharing! I ate out almost every meal from 18-52 year old, then once I turned vegan, I cook every day, and I love it. It's creation and meditation time.
Love your WHY!! I can resonate with it so much!! I’m just 3 days in but I’m having a blast learning new things and finding new recipes! Happy to have stumbled upon your channel. #plantbasedlifestyle
Thank you for sharing your recipes and lifestyle. I have recently finished chemo/radiation. I found your page because I knew I needed something different and my team suggested more plant base meals. I have made several of your meals and they are a staple in my meal prep. Again, thank you!
You’re such an inspiration! I gave up a lot of other foods but cheese, I still crave. It’s a shame that we turn to sometimes drastic changes like I did. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I immediately changed the way I ate. I love you brother for being so damn real about your life and helping the rest of us who want to make changes in our lives but don’t quite know where to begin. The ingredients are simple and easy for most people to begin with. The spices are also very important to add into your recipes. You don’t make a big deal about the change and you helped your dad get there, which is something I did for my father. Thank you again for inspiring us to make that change. 🙏🏼❤️You make the world a better place because when people are healthier, their kinder. ❤
You’re so right though. “Listen to your body”. Listen to your body. It’s so important. I ate two tacos from Jack n the Box one day on my way to work and I felt horrible throughout the day. I realized the difference and I knew I had to go plant-based. Back vegetarian since *Sep 2, 2024.*
Omg!! Im so glad to hear you say... You paid attention to how you felt after you ate something!!! Every time I tell people that... They look at me weird. I listen to my body and how it responds. And thats why I stopped eating meat.
Absolutely I ate some gummy worms yesterday been sick Ate a bagel with my daughter today am sick today I’m just like yea I need to change my diet I can do good a few Weeks and then a few days slip up and now I’m back flat on my face
New subscriber, been vegan for 12 years, now high raw, currently on 90-day juice fast on day 52, best life ever, and I'm the only vegan in my family, so it can be done.
I cannot wait to dive in to your channel… I have not taking the plant based plunge, but I love watching black vegan channels for healthier meal options.
Brandon I just happened to come across your video when you were preparing a Vegan mushroom/chickpea burger and I’m so glad I did! Your burger looks so good and delicious, and easy to make! You make cooking Vegan foods look so good and easy and I absolutely love your down to earth personality. I’ve been a vegan for going on two years, I went cold turkey too, due to sooo many health problems in my family and I made a decision that I will not allow foods that are harming my body control me! Keep on keeping on Brandon you’re amazing! 🥰
Thank you for sharing your story. My family just made your mushroom chickpea burger recipe last night and loved it. I dig what you’re doing. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
Ethical vegan and strict WFPB eater here of more than 35 years. 😊 I appreciate you and your channel! 🙏 I hope some day the ethics of it all will become important to you and that it will bring your wife and kids along. 🌱🫶☮️
For people dabbling on veganism mainly for the health aspect, there is no realistic expectation of them sticking to it long-term. That is because a well planned vegetable-heavy omnivore diet can be healthy as well. That said, however much i would like you to perceive the amount of lives you helped to be spared with this lifestyle, i thank you for your contribution.
Brandon, thanks for sharing! I had a similar journey. After hearing 'Start with your diet,' I went plant-based & felt a change in 5 days. 8 years later, I'm still plant-based and practice yoga regularly. Always on the lookout for new recipes, I absolutely love your channel! Namaste
you definitely not tripping bro, everything is energy and the number 1 law in thermodynamics is energy can’t be created or destroyed only transferred, all that fear and low vibration from that food transfers on to you. i remember that happened to me when i ate chicken, felt straight fear and sluggishness, your a electrical being, you need electric foods. this happened when i was like 15 and i knew about it but never really had the courage to tell my parents till a year later, now im vegetarian and im slowly gonna go over to alkaline its just tuff out here when your young, great video.
Me too I have a hard time cooking eggs it disgusts me i'm eatting a baby chicken its like eatting an embryo you wouldn't do it. But I like cheesy eggs a few times a year. Same for chicken I always hear it making noise when I am cooking it like it's still alive its gross. I rarely cook chicken the smell and blood disgusts me and it just cringes me everytime. I also never liked it as a kid unless it chicken breast. As far as low vibration food if your one of those people that is an empath you have to pray over and cleanse veggies and fruits as most hire people with a criminal record or low vibration people to work in those warehouses also and i've worked in a salad warehouse (that was one of the most depressing times of my life) they drop the product on the floor, step on it, cough on it and pick it up and package it. So use baking soda to clean and alkaline your fresh produce.
I’m just staring off pant based and for reasons similar to yours. Thank you for sharing your testimonies and words of encouragement. Your cooking is so realistic and I feel that I can truly do this thing. A lot of vegans or plant based channels complicate the ingredients and it feels cumbersome but I’m going to stick to this lifestyle and be victorious.
Congrats Brandon 🎉 and thank you for sharing your journey with us! You have inspired me to become a plant based vegan. I’ve been a vegetarian 12 yrs now meaning with fish included (mainly wild caught salmon). But now with your super fantastic recipes, it’s on!! I had my grocery list with me today at the store. I previously started making some of your delicious dishes. The 💣. Thank you sooo much. Please keep up the super, fantastic work!!❤
I love your videos. You're so real and down to earth. I can feel the excitement you feel eating healthy and sharing that. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I'm hoping and expecting that lots of people will catch the great vibe you radiate!
Thank you for sharing your vegan journey. I enjoy following you channel . I am surprised to learn that you didn't cook prior to your RUclips channel. You do such an excellent job. I have been experimenting w/ plant based since March. It started w/ me doing the 21 day Daniel Fast w/ my church in January During that time , I was just in brown rice , black beans, spinach / broccoli, yams, and fruits. I didn't start preparing plant based meals until March..I have been following you since April. You are one of the black plant based youtube channels I follow. The others are Tabitha Brown , Healthy Vegan Eating ,Shakayla Felice , Turnip Vegan Harold Leffall , and Sweet Potato Soul. Keep up the awesome job.
Hey I was watching online the controversy7 he was doing the Daniel fast back in January ! I’m really passionate about plant based / vegan 3yrs now I had changed my diet on organic non gmo bakanced healthy keto diet for years for health issues type 2 diabetes / inflammation much more aches pains always tired before going keto but my body had issues with dairy and eggs then I went Keto Vegan never looking back it has been a blessing to enjoy the foods our creator made for us instead of relying on pharmacy and toxic crap 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️🤗🕊️
It's definitely a discipline. I'm more pescatarian, vegetarian and I throw in Wagyu beef here and there but I have discovered a lot of vegan options that I really like. It's healing for sure. Cheese is a tough one to give up, so I get it. lol
This is dope. I have a similar story. I've been vegan since 2016 and used to cook more in the beginning. I know I need to get back to cooking more. I'm getting there.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are truly inspiring and I look forward to seeing your videos. GOD bless you and your family on your new food journey.
Hey Brandon👋🏾 New subscriber and glad to be here. I love and appreciate all that you share. You have been an inspiration and encouragement to me after discovering your IG channel and your healthy recipes. Again, THANK YOU SIR!💟
I’m a new vegan with a similar story. It was health motivated and if I’m helping animals and the planet it’s added value. I’ve never felt better in my life. Best to you and thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. ❤ Also … homemade vegan pizza 🍕 is easy - but it takes time. I make my own sourdough pizza dough- takes 2 days to make the dough & you can freeze the dough. I make my own pizza sauce- takes a few minutes. I also make my own vegan cheese, because I am also oil-free & I cannot fond vegan cheese without oil.
How do you make the pizza? I tried to make pizza last month and it didn't come out right lol had to toss in the trash the dough was like a science lab project.
@@akaishadouglas8259You can use the same recipe for pizza dough that you use for bread … just divide the dough before final rise for regular yeast dough or divide dough before final shaping for sourdough. There are loads of recipes here on RUclips for home breads. If you do not have experience as homemade bread maker: many local bakeries and groceries stores sell fresh or frozen pizza dough.
Thank you Brandon, your list of foods was also my favorites LOL no crackers needed just the whole block of cheese for me, in a few days I'll be 69 years old and I have been 90% plant based for 7 years with the last 2 years also being dairy free and eating meat/fish every 4-6 weeks. I ask my universe to provide me with the things and people I need to make me stronger to reach the goals I have set for myself and this week I am blessed with your presence and these healthy tasteful recipes. I am dealing with some serious health issues right now and I am so grateful that I have been 90% plant based because I know had I not been I would be in really bad condition if I would be at all. Thank you Brandon for letting people know how healthy eating and living can be done and that they are not alone.🥰
I was flipping vegan videos looking for something to prepare quickly. I saw your burger, and decided to try it.,I was surprised. It tasted good and was quick. Thanks a lot. ( new to being vegan.) Looking forward to other recipes
Thank you for your inspiration and wonderful meals the you prepare on your Paige. Me and my wife utilize all of your dishes daily. Keep up the good work king
dropping the honey and adjusting your clothing / shoes, etc, are just the normal next steps that you can take once you are ready for them. But I think you'll be just fine and feeling great about them once you've taken them. I can speak from experience. It was overwhelming at first because I had to learn so much and get to know what to commonly look out for, but once you know, it's easy. Keep going, I love what you are trying to do here, all the best.
Brandon, thank you so much for sharing your story. I love watching your videos, so soothing and calming. My husband and I began this journey almost 6 months ago after watching a documentary about how meat is processed to make it to our table, it turned our stomachs! While we still eat out and partake in desserts, we do our best to be selective however, this video has reminded me to be mindful of what I am eating and how it is processed/cooked; especially desserts. I’m headed into the kitchen now to try your chickpea and mushroom burger. Thank you again!
I love your story. I was the same way when I went to my family for a cookout we bring our food that we would cook there or prepare our food and bring them there so we know we have food and eat with them.
Hi Brandon, I just started following you several weeks ago! Thank you for sharing your story. I am not solely a plant-based . However, I love veggies/fruits so much that I watch plant-based/vegan influencers such as yourself in order to incorporate at least 1-2 plant-based meals into my meal rotation. I have entertained going completely plant-based but I still like fish and chicken 🫠. I have given up dairy and found some amazing plant-based dairy products. (So, I’m coming around). Anyway, thanks for sharing your story. A friend of mine made your Greens n Chick-pea sweet Potatoe recipe and it was 🔥🔥🔥. So, thank you! May God bless you even the more to continue doing what you’re doing!
New fan here! I'm so glad you shared this! ☺️. I appreciate this a lot. I'm not vegan (thought about it), but I've really grown a huge love for plant based meals in recent years. Just like you, my skin has improved so much and I have so much more energy reducing the amount of meat and dairy products I eat especially since I've started to develop an intolerance to dairy. I've come to the realization I'm definitely not a salad person either and now I'm going to stop choking down salads now that I know that's not the only thing you eat with plant based diets 😂. Thank you for helping so many of us enjoy vegan cooking and I really look forward to your next videos!
I’m really happy I found your page. I immediately subscribed. You are very relatable Brandon. Much continued success to you and your family. I hope you write a cookbook. I don’t plan to go completely plant-based, but I definitely planned to include more plant-based recipes into my foodie life.
I’m more of a pescatarian because i eat fish and seafood only but i do a lot of plant base meals also, so I like to think there with my plant base journey with both feet in, I struggle with giving up meat totally but I’m on the right track now, thank you for sharing your plant base recipes,very helpful along my journey I’m more creative in the kitchen than I’ve been lol
Salute bro…I’m on my one month vegan journey. My story is similar to yours as far as how I started my journey. Keep making recipes for us. I’m just starting to cook!
I really enjoy your videos. Your recipes look so good and inspires me to put something together based on what I have at home. Lol! It’s so great seeing more people of color who eat more plants!
Very encouraging post sir. I’m trying to get there. Most times, I’ll choose plant-based over meat when I go out to eat, but sometimes there isn’t much of a selection, so I’ll end up getting some type of seafood. And then that cheese, oh my it is the hardest to let go of for me, even though I know it is working against me. Keep inspiring because you are doing God’s work.
Thanks for your Vegan story whyyou went Vegan/Plant Based. I am just getting started and a friend of mines sent me to your youtube channel. I love it and I have subscribed. You have so many good cooking ideas and receipes. I will start my journey next week Monday 1/27/2025
Appreciate you bro! Keep shining and doing your thing!! That mushroom chick pea burger is a go to for me! Thanks for sharing your recipes and your journey!
Great story! I was the only ‘vegan’ in my family as well. It’s so important to listen to your body and know how to take care of it. I’ve recently added higher quality meats and organic/grass-fed/pasture-raised dairy products back into my diet occasionally. I felt like I needed more protein and aminos from those food sources. More importantly choosing to create meals with whole, real food is the health game-changer! Be careful with the vegan processed foods. They are just as bad as any fast food.
Being only 5’9 inches tall and 199lbs in 2022 made me go vegan. As of Oct 2024 I’m 154lbs lean, toned, muscular (not bulky). Best decision ever! No more mood swings, my testosterone levels are high, sex drive is high, thoughts are more clear…I could go on & on. P.S. Some days I’ll only eat seeded watermelon 🍉 for breakfast, lunch, snack, & dinner. Melon has everything a man need for sufficient nutrients & hydration.
Plants in America have pesticides. FDA allows a small amount... But if you are eating more plants than expected, you are getting more roundup than others. And seed oils, plant seed oils are a problem too.. they are overprocessed, denatured.
Thank you Brandon for making plant based cooking easy and enjoyable.
@@sew455 No problem!
I gave up pork and beef in 2021. I was still eating fish and chicken on a Keto diet. In 2023 my health had taken a drastic turn. I was diagnosed with 2 forms of cancer. I decided that day to go completely plant-based. I don't eat meat of any kind. I don't eat fish, I don't eat dairy. I don't eat processed foods., etc. I'm a survivor. I feel so much better after years of abusing my body with food. Anyone reading this, please listen to your body. Do your research on what's going on in the food/meat industry. Don't live to eat.....eat to live.

Hi Brandon, Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoy watching your videos.. I am 67 yrs old been Healthy Plant Based/Vegan roughly 4 1/2 years. I was a 28 year survivor of stage four breast cancer until recently and just this past July was diagnosed with a totally different type of BCA *HIGH-GRADE DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU* so called “baby cancer” had genetic testing completed came back for negative genetic connections. Both BCA came back as caused by environmental first time in MI second time after living in WI for 24 years. I honestly believe that our country allows so much garbage to be sprayed on our foods (fresh produce known as dirty dozen) and genetical modified items that not in any form food allowed to be added into our food system. 😢
I’m a 73 year old newbie so, I’m praying for wisdom to adjust to this new lifestyle. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Yeah it took me like 15 years to give cheese up I was vegetarian but finally at 32 I switched to vegan

I make my own pizza sauce- takes a few minutes. I also make my own vegan cheese, because I am also oil-free & I cannot fond vegan cheese without oil.
How do you make the pizza? I tried to make pizza last month and it didn't come out right lol had to toss in the trash the dough was like a science lab project.
@@akaishadouglas8259You can use the same recipe for pizza dough that you use for bread … just divide the dough before final rise for regular yeast dough or divide dough before final shaping for sourdough. There are loads of recipes here on RUclips for home breads.
If you do not have experience as homemade bread maker: many local bakeries and groceries stores sell fresh or frozen pizza dough.
Thank you Brandon, your list of foods was also my favorites LOL no crackers needed just the whole block of cheese for me, in a few days I'll be 69 years old and I have been 90% plant based for 7 years with the last 2 years also being dairy free and eating meat/fish every 4-6 weeks. I ask my universe to provide me with the things and people I need to make me stronger to reach the goals I have set for myself and this week I am blessed with your presence and these healthy tasteful recipes. I am dealing with some serious health issues right now and I am so grateful that I have been 90% plant based because I know had I not been I would be in really bad condition if I would be at all. Thank you Brandon for letting people know how healthy eating and living can be done and that they are not alone.🥰
I was flipping vegan videos looking for something to prepare quickly. I saw your burger, and decided to try it.,I was surprised. It tasted good and was quick. Thanks a lot. ( new to being vegan.) Looking forward to other recipes
Thank you for your inspiration and wonderful meals the you prepare on your Paige. Me and my wife utilize all of your dishes daily. Keep up the good work king
dropping the honey and adjusting your clothing / shoes, etc, are just the normal next steps that you can take once you are ready for them. But I think you'll be just fine and feeling great about them once you've taken them. I can speak from experience. It was overwhelming at first because I had to learn so much and get to know what to commonly look out for, but once you know, it's easy. Keep going, I love what you are trying to do here, all the best.
Brandon, thank you so much for sharing your story. I love watching your videos, so soothing and calming. My husband and I began this journey almost 6 months ago after watching a documentary about how meat is processed to make it to our table, it turned our stomachs! While we still eat out and partake in desserts, we do our best to be selective however, this video has reminded me to be mindful of what I am eating and how it is processed/cooked; especially desserts. I’m headed into the kitchen now to try your chickpea and mushroom burger. Thank you again!
I've been vegetarian for 2 1/2 years now. I love it!
I love your story. I was the same way when I went to my family for a cookout we bring our food that we would cook there or prepare our food and bring them there so we know we have food and eat with them.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your story. And, thanks for encouraging others, especially those of your generation, to become plant-based.
Hi Brandon,
I just started following you several weeks ago! Thank you for sharing your story. I am not solely a plant-based . However, I love veggies/fruits so much that I watch plant-based/vegan influencers such as yourself in order to incorporate at least 1-2 plant-based meals into my meal rotation.
I have entertained going completely plant-based but I still like fish and chicken 🫠. I have given up dairy and found some amazing plant-based dairy products. (So, I’m coming around). Anyway, thanks for sharing your story. A friend of mine made your Greens n Chick-pea sweet Potatoe recipe and it was 🔥🔥🔥. So, thank you! May God bless you even the more to continue doing what you’re doing!
@lativiasmith1597 That's amazing. As long as you're eating a balanced diet that's all that matters. I appreciate your support!
Thanks for sharing 😊❤ love your recipes!
New fan here! I'm so glad you shared this! ☺️. I appreciate this a lot. I'm not vegan (thought about it), but I've really grown a huge love for plant based meals in recent years. Just like you, my skin has improved so much and I have so much more energy reducing the amount of meat and dairy products I eat especially since I've started to develop an intolerance to dairy. I've come to the realization I'm definitely not a salad person either and now I'm going to stop choking down salads now that I know that's not the only thing you eat with plant based diets 😂. Thank you for helping so many of us enjoy vegan cooking and I really look forward to your next videos!
@@alexiarowan7781 you're welcome! That's amazing!
I’m really happy I found your page. I immediately subscribed. You are very relatable Brandon. Much continued success to you and your family. I hope you write a cookbook.
I don’t plan to go completely plant-based, but I definitely planned to include more plant-based recipes into my foodie life.
I’m more of a pescatarian because i eat fish and seafood only but i do a lot of plant base meals also, so I like to think there with my plant base journey with both feet in, I struggle with giving up meat totally but I’m on the right track now, thank you for sharing your plant base recipes,very helpful along my journey I’m more creative in the kitchen than I’ve been lol
Thanks so much for the encouragement! Great video!
It is good to cook your own food. Congratulations! We are proud of you!
Wow your cooking very well for someone who didn't really cook before. Like your ideas,. Keep growing 🙌🏿🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿✌🏿✌🏿
Salute bro…I’m on my one month vegan journey. My story is similar to yours as far as how I started my journey. Keep making recipes for us. I’m just starting to cook!
I really enjoy your videos. Your recipes look so good and inspires me to put something together based on what I have at home. Lol! It’s so great seeing more people of color who eat more plants!
Great channel - keep going - ty🫛🍋
@@jalenwyn2639 Thank you!
Good for you, health is wealth, keep soaring!!
Awesome video brother thanks.
Love your story, stay blessed 🫶🏽🙏🏽
Glad I found your channel. Love the vegan lifestyle.
Love your message about how you feel after eating certain foods ! Thank you
Very encouraging post sir. I’m trying to get there. Most times, I’ll choose plant-based over meat when I go out to eat, but sometimes there isn’t much of a selection, so I’ll end up getting some type of seafood. And then that cheese, oh my it is the hardest to let go of for me, even though I know it is working against me. Keep inspiring because you are doing God’s work.
Violife cheese is a good-tasting vegan cheese.
Thank you so much for sharing your story Brandon! My journey came about very similar to yours. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for your Vegan story whyyou went Vegan/Plant Based. I am just getting started and a friend of mines sent me to your youtube channel. I love it and I have subscribed. You have so many good cooking ideas and receipes. I will start my journey next week Monday 1/27/2025
I'm so glad you found my channel and I hope you enjoy the recipes. It’s a great day to start your journey!
Vegetarian here. Thx for sharing your story.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your story! Have you ever recreated your fave meals pepper steak and onion? meatloaf? Pizza? desserts?
Love your content PBB your story is that more inspiring 💯
I love your videos and I have tried a few of your recipes and I love them!!
Congratulations! ❤
Appreciate you bro! Keep shining and doing your thing!! That mushroom chick pea burger is a go to for me! Thanks for sharing your recipes and your journey!
Good stuff bro!
Thank you for sharing your story
God bless you and your family brandon hello from brazil
Great story
You inspire me to make the sweet potato nachos, definitely giving it a try. Many blessings 🙏🏾
Great story! I was the only ‘vegan’ in my family as well. It’s so important to listen to your body and know how to take care of it. I’ve recently added higher quality meats and organic/grass-fed/pasture-raised dairy products back into my diet occasionally. I felt like I needed more protein and aminos from those food sources. More importantly choosing to create meals with whole, real food is the health game-changer! Be careful with the vegan processed foods. They are just as bad as any fast food.
Thank you
Congrats, I dabble but not complete. I love your channel.
Thank you so much!
Food is medicine! ❤
The mind will get clearer and your mood will significantly Improve. Try it !
Thxs for sharing, I’m trying to be vegan as well, tired of chicken
Your channel is giving me the confidence to start cookin more. I love mushrooms but what stores do you get your Oyster Mushrooms From?
Being only 5’9 inches tall and 199lbs in 2022 made me go vegan. As of Oct 2024 I’m 154lbs lean, toned, muscular (not bulky). Best decision ever! No more mood swings, my testosterone levels are high, sex drive is high, thoughts are more clear…I could go on & on.
P.S. Some days I’ll only eat seeded watermelon 🍉 for breakfast, lunch, snack, & dinner. Melon has everything a man need for sufficient nutrients & hydration.
Plants in America have pesticides. FDA allows a small amount... But if you are eating more plants than expected, you are getting more roundup than others. And seed oils, plant seed oils are a problem too.. they are overprocessed, denatured.
