I am now a vegan as a result of pancreatic cancer. I am still going strong 🙏🏽after four years with four recurrences. I am now on immunotherapy and am better than I was at the start of this journey. God is the one I give honor too!
Understand this lady. I used to eat meat and I always have chronic disease. Since I became vegetarian all pains gone and no more tumors. To God be the Glory. A big salute to you Madam❤❤❤

I’m on day 11 and I’ve never felt better! After watching a documentary, multiple family members and I decided to get on board because of health issues. So glad I stumbled upon this video. Karyn is an inspiration to continue this journey.
I took care of a woman that was her age that broke her shoulder and she couldn't lift her arm over her head and was told by doctors it would never lift. This woman here just lifted bother arms over head. My god
I’m loving this interview so far, especially as a person who’s struggled with binge eating all of the wrong foods. I went vegan for 6 months but fell off due to low iron (result of fibroids). I plan to do water fasting beginning of July- if anyone has tips please share!
Avoid tannins around meal times from certain teas and coffee, be sure to add vinegar or lemon or lime or something with vitamin c to your dark greens and eat a variety of greens everyday, keep spinach to a minimum, eat baby spinach leaves and maybe cooked, using iron skillet, if you take a supplement they'll take it all at once but break it up into a few times throughout the day, try to reduce menstrual bleeding I think Dr Greger has some tips on that I'm not sure if it was turmeric or ginger... Seed cycling might help also. But the best thing might be to remove the fibroids. A uterine fibroid embolization work really well for my wife. One of the fibroids became necrotic pretty fast and caused a problem later but she had that removed pretty quick in the emergency room. She's better than ever now.
My wife was able to stay vegan the entire time for many years. It was tough though, the only time she veered away was trying oysters a few times. So worst case scenario eat some oysters once a week or so. But of course be careful of the source. And that's just worse case scenario. Ideally you would be able to stick with the whole plant food such as legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. Chlorella might be a good iron source also. And if you can stomach it molasses. But adding vitamin c sources to your greens and maybe even to your legumes and other sources of iron should help absorb significantly more iron.
Hello I am 100 percent vegan I became vegan when I was cleaning chicken drum sticks when I found drum sticks with a broken leg I questioned my self what was the life like for the chicken I looked it up and gave up meat and all things made from animalsI feel great and healthy.
Celebrating 12 months vegan, I've lost 90 pounds and put my type 2 diabetes into remission and reversed heart disease. My last hba1c was 4.4, so my blood sugar is technically better than somebody who is nondiabetic. Completely free from medications. A plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle has given me the clarity and mental acuity to free myself from alcohol, cigarettes and the use of marijuana. The body will heal itself if you allow it.

I've been vegan for 50 years. Best decision that I ever made. Gratitude and congratulations to you for making the change, for caring about animals and making a better world.
35 years for me, too :) I've done Karyn's month-long cleanse detox programs years ago - it was great! I miss her restaurants - from the old one on N Lincoln to the more recent one on Lincoln to the other two she used to run in Chicago. I have not yet been to her current center.
@@flygirl2b reach out to me through that link I shared above if you would like to get in the mix! I may be passing through Chicago soon like in the next couple weeks even. So hit me up quick! Would love to get you in the mix
Karyn is one of my absolute favorite role models ever ! I’ve eaten only raw vegan for over 50 years and Karyn is one of those inspirational individuals who has helped me to keep on working and spreading the message of building a harmless and healthier world for future generations.
OMG, I LOVE HER!!!! SHE'S AMAZING!!! Because of her and Annette Larkins, I have turned to raw vegan. I have been a raw vegan since the 10th of last month.❤❤❤
Awesome be sure to be careful with how you go about it. I only say that because it's So unique to the norm and there surely is a learning curve and technique that must be mastered to implement properly.
🎯❗️Right?! Her Spirit is RADIANT, but…sadly, the jealous ones are always in their feelings of deep insecurity and will do what h@ ters do - h@ te. Like you said…she’s wise and beautiful - inside and out! As well as elegant. Cheers, beautiful soul!! ✨ And MUCH love to you from Renée in San Francisco. ♥️🌉 💫
@@deniselane1363 perhaps you misunderstood my main point. My apologies if I was unclear. I am thrilled whenever I see a vegan who is attractive and presents well- blonde red black blue she him they …whatever they are. Because role models will help the cause. I hope this helps to explain my point. Thank you for reading it.
No comment. She has low muscle definition cause of beging vegan so long, x vegans are calling it out on yt, veggies mostly hydrate so I will pass, I don't want thin flappy looking skin. Most body builders who are vegans were never vegan their entire life they are mataining muscle they got when they ate meat.
Glad to see Karyn rebuilding. I loved eating at her raw cafe back in the 90s. She inspired me to go raw and it was the best I ever felt in my life. Can't wait to return to Chicago to visit her again.
Well I shot this before it all closed down. Apparently there's not enough support in the community there to sustain these businesses and lifestyle. Thanks for watching and commenting though! Hopefully she can pull something else off that other s can enjoy at some point
We create pain and suffering for the animal, then eat that suffering and vibration and it becomes us. We are all one and when we harm another we are just harming ourselves. I teach my kids this everyday! 😂
I'm Vegan somewhere between 35 and 40 years and 17 of those years Raw / Live. I NEVER looked back. To me, it's the BEST lifestyle anyone could ever have. It changed my life completely. I saw Karyn in a Sunday Tribune Article and HAD to find out what she was doing and how she did it. I was amazed by her youthful glow and unending energy. I had been extremely ill, and extremely frightened by how ill I had become. You have no idea how terrifying it can become to be so completely debilitated by illness. . . . . and how amazing it is to watch it all fall away with simple yet profound changes to our diet and lifestyle. I gave all my pots and pans away years ago. You cannot cook at my house. Like Karyn, I sleep maybe 3 to 4 hours a night and I've done that for years. When your body is not a toxic waste dump you don't need hours of sleep to restore it. I call it a Magical Lifestyle providing us Magical Energy. I try to get others to raise their vibratory rate because it's easy to feel the energy of others once living this way. I say, 'Do Not Hesitate - - Just Do It!' You will not believe the difference proper eating makes in your world. Every time I eat a meal I also Bless my Husband who made it possible for me to study and learn all this. I did it for us. I had been ill, and he developed a terrible brain injury which ultimately claimed his life almost 3 years ago. I never take for granted what I learned, or my choice to eat healthfully. My body is not a receptacle for the world's trash and junk. All Best To You!
ALOT OF veggies can be toxic and cause inflammation, so stop making toxicity a meat thing. I can barely eat all those veggies only a few cause they cause inflammation. You lose weight on the vegan diet cause of the low fat not cause it's vegan.
@@Beaudica777 awesome, but don't be afraid of things like cooked potatoes especially sweet potatoes or Japanese sweet potatoes, cooked legumes and grains that can also be sprouted but more conveniently from a can or cooked. There's no reason to fear these things really that I'm aware of or the science has indicated.
I’ve met her and been to her previous restaurant, everything was delicious and her wellness center was a great experience! She is a wise lady! Thanks for this interview. 🙏
After becoming Vegan Ive noticed that Meat eaters do smell different. Especially after using the bathroom. It smells like something crawled up in you and died. Because it did🤣. Im not been judgemental but there is a Difference in the way Vegan smell and ppl who eat meat/processed foods smell
THIS IS SO TRUE . I TOLD A GUY THAT I WAS DEALING WITH IN THE PAST THAT HIS 💩💩 SMELL SOOO BAD. HE NEVER ATE ANYTHING BUT MEAT. IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING DIED EVERY TIME HE USED THE BATHROOM. 😂😂😂😂
My daughter has been vegan for over 15 yrs. now, I am 81 and have always been active. Thank you so much. This video has helped tremendously. You are a beautiful lady.
As long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields. Leo Tolstoy. We cannot be slaughtering, torturing and consuming billions of animals per year and be at peace. ✨♥️
@@markj7612 Ever since I was born I always wanted meat and for thousands of years we have being eating meat. Please do you research before saying false information.
@@jack1288 By the way, if you have a brain and common sense, and I assume that you do, you need only compare the anatomy and digestive apparatus of a human and a true carnivore, such as a lion, to clearly understand that humans are designed to be carnivores. Leave your palate desires aside, and use common sense.
@@markj7612 It is scientifically proven that we are designed as an omnivore. Gorillas and monkeys are herbivores and their teeth are shaper and scarier than a lions. Check out the hazda tribe in Africa, they don’t even know what being a vegan is they hunt for their food and eat it. They naturally eat meat. The Animals can also cry me a river they are made to be eaten and if other animals eat meat why can’t we?
Great interview! Karyn has so much life, personality, and eloquence that is just so delightful to watch. I loved hearing her unique insights; the story about "Trucker Hat Guy" showing kindness to her dog was very thought-provoking in its lesson about maintaining human connection amidst vast ethical variability. Her ability to engage with him positively despite his obvious bigotry is commendable. I especially appreciate her philosophy that we are all connected and have an obligation to care for one another as living beings, whether human or ant! I'd have loved to see a deeper discussion on honey consumption, animal companion diets, the choice to abstain from vaccines/medical care as a vegan, and the vanity aspect, but those topics do tend to open a large can of worms and I enjoy that this channel focuses on the stories of interviewees as individuals without harping on specific ideas. Nonetheless, I'm itching to hear more from her! Definitely gotta check out her channel. Edit: What an awesome tour! Every space of hers looks so cozy and welcoming. Wishing nothing but prosperity for her businesses. "Now that's a good husband, wouldn't you say?" 😂(1:19:26)
I've been living a plant-based lifestyle for over 30+ years; primarily raw. I love her testimony and remember when I first started making changes. She said there was not a lot of information available 30+ years ago. I remember searching too. This dear woman is a wealth of knowledge, and her life has proven that eating and living with this intention brings about health and personal well-being. Loved the interview. 🙂
35.11.. She mentioned Sadhguru... Wow... Neem and turmeric, honey water. Isha meditators. Writing from Isha Ashram Coimbatore, magical place for humanity.
Sadhguru is cool sometimes but very inconsistent when it comes to animal exploitation unfortunately. Honey is not necessary at all and unfortunately when we exploit animals it inevitably gets out of control and abusive. I should have discussed this with her further but I was probably a little derailed from such a long run of interviews and ultimately focused on the biggest issue of unnecessary animal consumption. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
This lady is an absolute joy! Thank you for this interview. My husband and I started a vegan diet for health reasons 3 years ago, but it quickly became about the animals. We are both healthier. Even our doctor, who was very sceptical, has told us to carry on doing what we're doing. 😊
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I discovered another interview prospect that I will be getting in about a week that fits very well in line with this one. I don't know when I will finally get to edit ing and publishing it but subscribe if you want more!
1:20:27 One moment she's claiming the area as Mayberry, USA and the next moment is a genuine, unscripted Mayberry, USA experience 😊💕So wonderful to see it play out
@@GabriellaMorales-l1q legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. For example, Dr Fuhrman recommends about 2/3 raw on average give or take...
Beautiful interview, she is just so natural and self-cinfident about the way she is living her life. I love that, it is inspiring. Thank you for the work and effort put into sharing this interview and making it happen
thanks so much! I'm doing my best, it's hard, I'm just running solo, zero support, all on my own dime and time. I didn't want to do it all alone, much less be heard or asking the questions. So, your feedback is heart warming.
I’m 55 and eat all organic since 1993! I eat for nutritional value! Or ingredients with minimum to no processed foods! Keep it as natural as possible! Organic Family!
I prefer organic too especially those items that are on the dirty dozen list by the environmental working group but they also state that the benefits outweigh the risks of these foods If you can't get them organic or afford them. Hopefully you're vegan 🙂
@@VeganLinked I’ve learned that American Soil has Forever Chemicals in it and is one reason why the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Willie Nelson, Jeff Bezos, Bruno Mars and a Slew of others live and eat from their own gardens in Hawaii! RUclipsr “Fully Raw Christina” She is a Raw Vegan since she was a young teen now in her 30s left her Texas Organic Farm for an amazing Hawaii Organic Farm! It’s so Amazing! Cheers to the Plant Life!
16:30 she says "you're not just eating the flesh you're eating the vibration and what they've been through." These animals are sick when they are slaughtered. Imagine the cytokine storms going on in their bodies. And then people eat them. Can't be good.
Eating monotonously especially just one fruit can’t be good for you cause it has tons of sugar, even if it’s raw vegan. Might explain why she hasn’t aged as well as other raw vegans.
@@Anastasia-oy2zp I don't think it's a good idea either. But I wouldn't say she hasn't aged well. And your observation is plagued with n of 1. The raw way doesn't really have good science to support it anyways. Perhaps it just doesn't have enough. It is intriguing but currently not practical for most people. I think what you meant to say is mono mealing not monotonously however it would be monotonous lol but if someone doesn't think it is or doesn't feel like it is then I suppose that is subjective. Another thing about looks is there's a lot of other variables to consider like sleep, genetics, stress Management, etc. so I generally don't put too much weight on looks. But there are some very raw people who do you have the licks going on. I try to cover a wide variety of lifestyles within the vegan movement. At the same time I do try to interject as much science as I can. Anyways I'm totally rambling... My meal just came out so it's time for me to indulge Thai food.
I feel soooooo much better mentally, physically and spiritually when I consume mainly fruits…… sometimes I feel more confused when I eat raw veggies…… super strange lol 🌱💚🌱
What kind of veggies? There's like tens if not hundreds of thousands of edible vegan whole Food options between legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices. Hopefully you're getting a good variety of each!
@@lesajames3465 yes, smoking stinks. This channel is above veganism. And studies have literally shown that vegans smell better. I did a post on this actually veganlinked.com/blog/vegans-smell-better/ That is a personal choice
@ VeganLinked -- Hey 🙋 Jeff. This is another fine presentation on how positivity can be the best way to express yourself when you are trying to share your feelings about living a vegan lifestyle. And btw, you did an excellent job interviewing. Your questions about "how to sprout certain food" is a perfect example of that. And your true interest in that, actually came across very well too. Thank You Again for sharing with us.
Beautiful inspiration. Lost me at a “little honey” though. And turkey feathers it looks like. “becoming vegan” for 28 yrs. By most vegans’ definition though I am all vegan….food, clothing, furniture, car seats, hygiene products, entertainment, musical instrument parts, …Veganism is “to the greatest extent possible” not, nor ever, absolute. We all participate in consuming products that contain animal derived ingredients and/or whose production or collection harms animals ( LCD, rubber, textiles ….thinking casein…some medicine… tested on animals).I worked in a slaughterhouse during the summer months for 3 yrs and severed my left bicep which subsequently atrophied. Prescribing and/or offering advice that is unsolicited is something I am uncomfortable with. Raw vegan food diets seem to always bear the brunt of this phenomenon. Good honest interview. Yeah, vanity!!!!
Feeling the want to to become vegan, and just educating myself as much as possible.. i have previously given up all "unclean" meat.. then processed food.. limited meats now, slowly transforming for my health, among other reasons.
I love her message! ❤ I really think it’s important for us to accept people where they are at. I have been WFPB for 9 years still learning. Thank you for the podcast.❤
I respect any vegan for the simple fact that they try to live more ethical lives. And if one chooses to only eat raw, then it's up to them. However, I am very careful when I try to convince others of a vegan lifestyle to not make it overly complicated. There is no need to not eat cooked food for instance. It only makes it more restrictive than it needs to be. The Academy of Nutrition and dietetics suggest that we aim for whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies, herbs and spices, and I would suggest that we also include mushrooms, even though - technically - they are not plants. And some tofu, mocked meats and plant milks makes it even easier. And of course, take a B12 supplement.
Right, this channel doesn't necessarily promote raw. So, it's all good. Veganism isn't a diet, it's a philosophy. As long as someone isn't eating animals and finding a way to make it as healthy as possible for their life that's all I care about. I'm not raw and the doctors and overwhelming 99 plus percent majority of vegans on my channel aren't raw either. This channel covers all types of vegans though, mostly longtime vegans and moving into lifelong vegans and multi-generational.
there's definitely advantages to cooking though, so I'm with you. Like some things such as carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, etc... either increase in nutritional value cooked, reduce so called anti-nutrients, etc... But, clearly that's not an issue since there's tens if not 100's of thousands of whole vegan food options within the legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs & spices :)
I disagree that mass produced vegan food is healthy. It is only slightly better than processed meat produce. Also, nuts and gluten harm me, so there is not one diet suitable for all of us. One has to try and adjust accordingly. When I moved onto wholefood plant based diet from fairly healthy eating vegan, I became unwell. My body was telling me finally what was wrong with me, which was hidden for years behind odd glasses of wine, sweets and all kinds of other vegan junk. So, I feel very well now but my diet is restricted which is fine and worth it. As to cooking I agree, it is healthy too, but raw is always better.
@@annaal7480 there is not one diet that suits all, but everybody can be vegan. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of edible plant options to choose from And tailor your diet to your specific needs. If you are raised properly on whole plant foods you would probably have far less issues and may not be allergic to anything healthy like nuts. And there's so many nuts you're probably not allergic to them all. And allergies change over time.
@@annaal7480 corporations making junk food and calling it vegan have no relevance to veganism. Don't convolute veganism with corporate exploitation. Veganism is not a packaged food. Veganism is a philosophy. It is not a diet. The healthiest whole plant foods are the most vegan. These are the most vegan because they are the least resource intensive and least packaged and therefore least invasive to wildlife and humans. And humans are animals, so what's healthiest for humans is going to be the most vegan. Some processed foods are probably totally healthy and fine though. So don't over generalize unless you have science to back up your empirical claims.
For the record, there is absolutely no reason to be entirely raw. It is just as healthy and likely far more practical to consume whole grains and legumes cooked. Also, DO NOT use this video on your social media or video channels. You may share the link of course only but DO NOT upload it to your channels otherwise you will get a copyright strike eventually and may even lose your account or channel. I worked very hard to produce these videos and the last thing I need is somebody else beating me to shorts so they can lazily exploit my efforts.

LOVE KAREN. I WAS IN FLOSSMORE IL AT HER NEW RESTERAUNT AWHILE BACK COUPLE OF YRS AGO.SHE IS SO VERY SWEET.
Its a gem. Great interview skills and pleasant to listen to these educational and informative video 🎉🎉🎉
@@godlyvegan6688 Nice to know. 🧡
@@wayaca47 Absolutely. 👍
God bless you 😊!!$$
Karyn is one of my absolute favorite role models ever ! I’ve eaten only raw vegan for over 50 years and Karyn is one of those inspirational individuals who has helped me to keep on working and spreading the message of building a harmless and healthier world for future generations.
I would love to interview you! Send me a message at veganlinked.com/contact
OMG, I LOVE HER!!!! SHE'S AMAZING!!! Because of her and Annette Larkins, I have turned to raw vegan. I have been a raw vegan since the 10th of last month.❤❤❤
Awesome be sure to be careful with how you go about it. I only say that because it's So unique to the norm and there surely is a learning curve and technique that must be mastered to implement properly.
I like this woman's spirit. She's obviously got a lotta wisdom, too, and looks great for 75!
who cares, looks are mostly genetic. This interview has nothing to do with looks. Stop being shallow and ignorant. There's no reason to eat animals.
Agreed
Great voice too.
🎯❗️Right?! Her Spirit is RADIANT, but…sadly, the jealous ones are always in their feelings of deep insecurity and will do what h@ ters do
- h@ te.
Like you said…she’s wise and beautiful - inside and out! As well as elegant.
Cheers, beautiful soul!! ✨
And MUCH love to you from Renée in San Francisco. ♥️🌉 💫
Wow 75 ? I thought she's just mid 50s. Shes so sharp mentally for that age.
I say as respectfully as I can: this woman is smoking hot, so intelligent, presents well. Eloquent. What a great role model ❤
Presents well, eloquent, intelligent? Would you say that if she was blond & blue-eyed?
@@deniselane1363 perhaps you misunderstood my main point. My apologies if I was unclear. I am thrilled whenever I see a vegan who is attractive and presents well- blonde red black blue she him they …whatever they are. Because role models will help the cause.
I hope this helps to explain my point. Thank you for reading it.
🎯🔥♥️
Ha ha! Beautiful. Smokin’ hot! For sure. I’m glad she’s in the world and on this planet.
No comment. She has low muscle definition cause of beging vegan so long, x vegans are calling it out on yt, veggies mostly hydrate so I will pass, I don't want thin flappy looking skin. Most body builders who are vegans were never vegan their entire life they are mataining muscle they got when they ate meat.
Glad to see Karyn rebuilding. I loved eating at her raw cafe back in the 90s. She inspired me to go raw and it was the best I ever felt in my life. Can't wait to return to Chicago to visit her again.
Well I shot this before it all closed down. Apparently there's not enough support in the community there to sustain these businesses and lifestyle. Thanks for watching and commenting though! Hopefully she can pull something else off that other s can enjoy at some point
When i found out her age i nearly fell off my chair!! Omg!! What an incredible lady, im so impressed 💚
how old is she?
Watch the video
@@tnvol5331
She is 75
Isn’t she older than that? I heard her say 75 but I thought she was older. Is this interview old? Maybe I’m wrong…
It’s sad we judge what we don’t understand. She is beautiful inside and out.
We may also judge things we understand though too... I'm an ENTJ lol
We create pain and suffering for the animal, then eat that suffering and vibration and it becomes us. We are all one and when we harm another we are just harming ourselves. I teach my kids this everyday! 😂
Sounds like your forcing your children into a damaging lifestyle 🤔🤔
I'm Vegan somewhere between 35 and 40 years and 17 of those years Raw / Live. I NEVER looked back. To me, it's the BEST lifestyle anyone could ever have. It changed my life completely. I saw Karyn in a Sunday Tribune Article and HAD to find out what she was doing and how she did it. I was amazed by her youthful glow and unending energy. I had been extremely ill, and extremely frightened by how ill I had become. You have no idea how terrifying it can become to be so completely debilitated by illness. . . . . and how amazing it is to watch it all fall away with simple yet profound changes to our diet and lifestyle. I gave all my pots and pans away years ago. You cannot cook at my house. Like Karyn, I sleep maybe 3 to 4 hours a night and I've done that for years. When your body is not a toxic waste dump you don't need hours of sleep to restore it. I call it a Magical Lifestyle providing us Magical Energy. I try to get others to raise their vibratory rate because it's easy to feel the energy of others once living this way. I say, 'Do Not Hesitate - - Just Do It!' You will not believe the difference proper eating makes in your world.
Every time I eat a meal I also Bless my Husband who made it possible for me to study and learn all this. I did it for us. I had been ill, and he developed a terrible brain injury which ultimately claimed his life almost 3 years ago. I never take for granted what I learned, or my choice to eat healthfully. My body is not a receptacle for the world's trash and junk.
All Best To You!
awesome, I'd like to interview you if you're interested, let me know veganlinked.com/contact
ALOT OF veggies can be toxic and cause inflammation, so stop making toxicity a meat thing. I can barely eat all those veggies only a few cause they cause inflammation. You lose weight on the vegan diet cause of the low fat not cause it's vegan.
Wonderful comment @songsparrow4324, thank you so much for sharing. You've encouraged me to give a raw food diet a try. Thank you.
@@Beaudica777 awesome, but don't be afraid of things like cooked potatoes especially sweet potatoes or Japanese sweet potatoes, cooked legumes and grains that can also be sprouted but more conveniently from a can or cooked. There's no reason to fear these things really that I'm aware of or the science has indicated.
@@VeganLinked Thank you for your advice, I will definitely take note. Have a great weekend.☺☺☺☺☺
I’ve met her and been to her previous restaurant, everything was delicious and her wellness center was a great experience! She is a wise lady! Thanks for this interview. 🙏
After becoming Vegan Ive noticed that Meat eaters do smell different. Especially after using the bathroom. It smells like something crawled up in you and died. Because it did🤣. Im not been judgemental but there is a Difference in the way Vegan smell and ppl who eat meat/processed foods smell
There's actually science to back this up. I did a quick post on this recently just to share here
veganlinked.com/blog/vegans-smell-better/
U are not lying because the meat have to rotten in u before u pass it out that's why meat eater used the bathroom stunk after they finished
THIS IS SO TRUE . I TOLD A GUY THAT I WAS DEALING WITH IN THE PAST THAT HIS 💩💩 SMELL SOOO BAD. HE NEVER ATE ANYTHING BUT MEAT. IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING DIED EVERY TIME HE USED THE BATHROOM. 😂😂😂😂
I'm so inspired to go vegan!
AWESOME! 💚💚💚💚
Its really the best thing ever, cam we offer any assistance? If so there is a huge vegan community ready to welcome you 💚💚💚
Please do. As she says in the video, you regulate your health with diet too, not only save animals.
Me too ❤
I’m just turning a decade long vegan this year….Ngl I def want my wife to look that healthy she looks in her early 50s ! Wow!
My daughter has been vegan for over 15 yrs. now, I am 81 and have always been active. Thank you so much. This video has helped tremendously. You are a beautiful lady.
Love listening to Karyn, her warmth and hope for the future of veganism, sharing the goodness of plant-based foods and her experiences.
As long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields. Leo Tolstoy.
We cannot be slaughtering, torturing and consuming billions of animals per year and be at peace. ✨♥️
I completely agree that eating animals is not in our nature. Children know this until they are programmed.
Exactly. So unfortunate that children are introduced into eating meat.
@@markj7612 Ever since I was born I always wanted meat and for thousands of years we have being eating meat. Please do you research before saying false information.
@@jack1288 By the way, if you have a brain and common sense, and I assume that you do, you need only compare the anatomy and digestive apparatus of a human and a true carnivore, such as a lion, to clearly understand that humans are designed to be carnivores. Leave your palate desires aside, and use common sense.
@@markj7612 It is scientifically proven that we are designed as an omnivore. Gorillas and monkeys are herbivores and their teeth are shaper and scarier than a lions.
Check out the hazda tribe in Africa, they don’t even know what being a vegan is they hunt for their food and eat it. They naturally eat meat. The Animals can also cry me a river they are made to be eaten and if other animals eat meat why can’t we?
Great interview! Karyn has so much life, personality, and eloquence that is just so delightful to watch. I loved hearing her unique insights; the story about "Trucker Hat Guy" showing kindness to her dog was very thought-provoking in its lesson about maintaining human connection amidst vast ethical variability. Her ability to engage with him positively despite his obvious bigotry is commendable. I especially appreciate her philosophy that we are all connected and have an obligation to care for one another as living beings, whether human or ant!
I'd have loved to see a deeper discussion on honey consumption, animal companion diets, the choice to abstain from vaccines/medical care as a vegan, and the vanity aspect, but those topics do tend to open a large can of worms and I enjoy that this channel focuses on the stories of interviewees as individuals without harping on specific ideas. Nonetheless, I'm itching to hear more from her! Definitely gotta check out her channel.
Edit: What an awesome tour! Every space of hers looks so cozy and welcoming. Wishing nothing but prosperity for her businesses.
"Now that's a good husband, wouldn't you say?" 😂(1:19:26)
The restaurant and spa have closed ❣️
How on earth can anyone ever feel uncomfortable around such a gracious woman.😮😮
This was a gem of an interview. Thank you so much for adding it!
My favorite interview! I love her positive example on every level.
Not only lovely outside, but calm even gentle inside. 😊
I’m going to start envisioning plant based and/or raw restaurants to open up in my area, and to be well supported by the community.
I've been living a plant-based lifestyle for over 30+ years; primarily raw. I love her testimony and remember when I first started making changes. She said there was not a lot of information available 30+ years ago. I remember searching too. This dear woman is a wealth of knowledge, and her life has proven that eating and living with this intention brings about health and personal well-being. Loved the interview. 🙂
She's 75!?!? She's absolute goals! Makes me wanna try raw vegan; I've been vegan for 8 years but mostly cooked foods.
It’s almost like watching the older version of myself, I say everything she says to my family & friends and I finally feel seen. Thank you 🤍
Loved this!
Loved the impromptu testimonial from the customer🙌🏽
Peace and wellness to this vegan queen!
The fallen angels taught the consumption of flesh and blood. ..BOOK OF ENOCH
What a gift!! I love how human you are.
She’s so beautiful! Interesting what she said about vegans and meat eaters smelling different!
I figured I would go ahead and make a post on this on my website 🙂 veganlinked.com/blog/vegans-smell-better/
Martica Heaner PhD Nutrition mentions it as well :) I show her video in the post...
He husband eats meat so it doesn’t bother her.
@@annaal7480 she didn't say whether it bothered her or not.
@@VeganLinkedshe said differently not better.
What a fabulous interview!!!
What a joy to listen to her. Thank you for this video.
35.11.. She mentioned Sadhguru... Wow... Neem and turmeric, honey water. Isha meditators. Writing from Isha Ashram Coimbatore, magical place for humanity.
Sadhguru is cool sometimes but very inconsistent when it comes to animal exploitation unfortunately. Honey is not necessary at all and unfortunately when we exploit animals it inevitably gets out of control and abusive. I should have discussed this with her further but I was probably a little derailed from such a long run of interviews and ultimately focused on the biggest issue of unnecessary animal consumption. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
This lady is an absolute joy! Thank you for this interview. My husband and I started a vegan diet for health reasons 3 years ago, but it quickly became about the animals. We are both healthier. Even our doctor, who was very sceptical, has told us to carry on doing what we're doing. 😊
Karyn is truth. I've been to her restaurants. They were all excellent. Love to see her back.
A beautiful testimonial for a raw vegan diet.
💛🧡❤ Thank you
I 😢 up listening to her talk the Vibration is real, Everything! She speak i lives!!
I love her telling Siri she’s full of shit!❤
Love this interview soo much wisdom and truth from this beautiful lady. Whether plant based or not truth and freedom for all beings is number 1 😍🌈🧡
I absolutely love the way you think about not judging people. I completely agree. Allow people to experience their journey the way they need to. ❤
The same time it's important to be honest and clear about the urgency.
I don’t understand why people don’t classify fish as meat it’s still an animal!
What a fascinating person! Thank you for sharing this interview
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I discovered another interview prospect that I will be getting in about a week that fits very well in line with this one. I don't know when I will finally get to edit ing and publishing it but subscribe if you want more!
Thank you for introducing her to me😏👍
I remember going to her restaurant in late 1990s/early 2000. That food was AMAZING!!!
Amazing! Walking, living example of radiance.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I love Karyn 🥰 I used to go to her restaurant all the time….great interview !
🌱🕊💚 So glad I watched this one. So worthwhile. 🙌🙌🙌
One of the best interviews I've listened to.
OMG she's gorgeous!
She exudes wisdom and grace. God bless her. Thank you!
The world is made up of 1st class vegans or 2nd grade vegans
😊😅😮😮😢🎉😂😢
This woman is a rare Treasure. Thank you Queen for sharing your knowledge ❤️
1:20:27 One moment she's claiming the area as Mayberry, USA and the next moment is a genuine, unscripted Mayberry, USA experience 😊💕So wonderful to see it play out
Meanwhile I practically live in Mayberry, and it's totally redneckville
Okay thank you for the tips! I will definitely incorporate some cooked foods as well 🙏
@@GabriellaMorales-l1q legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. For example, Dr Fuhrman recommends about 2/3 raw on average give or take...
Beautiful interview, she is just so natural and self-cinfident about the way she is living her life. I love that, it is inspiring. Thank you for the work and effort put into sharing this interview and making it happen
Highly interesting i stop eating meat 1yr 5mos. Eat seafood, thank you for all your information, following your page. God bless!❤😊
It’s the clarity of mind, my God 😮🥵❤️
This video is a golden nugget. Great interview skills and pleasant to listen these educational and informative video 🎉🎉🎉
thanks so much! I'm doing my best, it's hard, I'm just running solo, zero support, all on my own dime and time. I didn't want to do it all alone, much less be heard or asking the questions. So, your feedback is heart warming.
@@VeganLinked Thank you for your reaction. Kudos for your dedication, determination, resilience and perseverance. 🤗
I’m 55 and eat all organic since 1993! I eat for nutritional value! Or ingredients with minimum to no processed foods! Keep it as natural as possible! Organic Family!
I prefer organic too especially those items that are on the dirty dozen list by the environmental working group but they also state that the benefits outweigh the risks of these foods If you can't get them organic or afford them. Hopefully you're vegan 🙂
@@VeganLinked I’ve learned that American Soil has Forever Chemicals in it and is one reason why the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Willie Nelson, Jeff Bezos, Bruno Mars and a Slew of others live and eat from their own gardens in Hawaii! RUclipsr “Fully Raw Christina” She is a Raw Vegan since she was a young teen now in her 30s left her Texas Organic Farm for an amazing Hawaii Organic Farm! It’s so Amazing! Cheers to the Plant Life!
I would love to meet you and learn more about what you are doing
16:30 she says "you're not just eating the flesh you're eating the vibration and what they've been through." These animals are sick when they are slaughtered. Imagine the cytokine storms going on in their bodies. And then people eat them. Can't be good.
She is beautiful and her spirit is too! Wow 🤩
She is gorgeous inside & out!
This woman is something else! She has been through and experienced just about everything a person can go through ---- such wisdom.
This is a beautiful woman who values her health
Beautiful 70's. I'm 73 young. Thank God.
Eating monotonously especially just one fruit can’t be good for you cause it has tons of sugar, even if it’s raw vegan. Might explain why she hasn’t aged as well as other raw vegans.
@@Anastasia-oy2zp I don't think it's a good idea either. But I wouldn't say she hasn't aged well. And your observation is plagued with n of 1. The raw way doesn't really have good science to support it anyways. Perhaps it just doesn't have enough. It is intriguing but currently not practical for most people. I think what you meant to say is mono mealing not monotonously however it would be monotonous lol but if someone doesn't think it is or doesn't feel like it is then I suppose that is subjective. Another thing about looks is there's a lot of other variables to consider like sleep, genetics, stress Management, etc. so I generally don't put too much weight on looks. But there are some very raw people who do you have the licks going on. I try to cover a wide variety of lifestyles within the vegan movement. At the same time I do try to interject as much science as I can. Anyways I'm totally rambling... My meal just came out so it's time for me to indulge Thai food.
This was so great. I will listen again and again.
Almost 6 years of being Vegan! FUCK I wish I did it earlier!
She looks like a more mature Halle Berry. 💞
I feel soooooo much better mentally, physically and spiritually when I consume mainly fruits…… sometimes I feel more confused when I eat raw veggies…… super strange lol 🌱💚🌱
What kind of veggies? There's like tens if not hundreds of thousands of edible vegan whole Food options between legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices. Hopefully you're getting a good variety of each!
She married to a smoker who is not vegan. Smokers smell . I know meat eaters and they don't smell. Smokers have a stinch.
@@lesajames3465 yes, smoking stinks. This channel is above veganism. And studies have literally shown that vegans smell better. I did a post on this actually veganlinked.com/blog/vegans-smell-better/
That is a personal choice
I remeber this lovely lady's raw restaurant on Chicago's northside. The food was amazing! I am looking forward to her new venture
I seriously love Karyn! Just a beautiful soul!
Absolutely beautiful 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
@ VeganLinked -- Hey 🙋 Jeff. This is another fine presentation on how positivity can be the best way to express yourself when you are trying to share your feelings about living a vegan lifestyle. And btw, you did an excellent job interviewing. Your questions about "how to sprout certain food" is a perfect example of that. And your true interest in that, actually came across very well too.
Thank You Again for sharing with us.
Thanks so much for watching and the sweet comment! 🙂
@VeganLinked---My pleasure, Jeff.
Beautiful inspiration. Lost me at a “little honey” though. And turkey feathers it looks like. “becoming vegan” for 28 yrs. By most vegans’ definition though I am all vegan….food, clothing, furniture, car seats, hygiene products, entertainment, musical instrument parts, …Veganism is “to the greatest extent possible” not, nor ever, absolute. We all participate in consuming products that contain animal derived ingredients and/or whose production or collection harms animals ( LCD, rubber, textiles ….thinking casein…some medicine… tested on animals).I worked in a slaughterhouse during the summer months for 3 yrs and severed my left bicep which subsequently atrophied. Prescribing and/or offering advice that is unsolicited is something I am uncomfortable with. Raw vegan food diets seem to always bear the brunt of this phenomenon. Good honest interview. Yeah, vanity!!!!
❤
She is my inspiration! 😊
Feeling the want to to become vegan, and just educating myself as much as possible.. i have previously given up all "unclean" meat.. then processed food.. limited meats now, slowly transforming for my health, among other reasons.
Sweet! 💚
I love her message! ❤ I really think it’s important for us to accept people where they are at. I have been WFPB for 9 years still learning. Thank you for the podcast.❤

She closed her spa....from the Ozarks drinking fresh spring water 💦
I respect any vegan for the simple fact that they try to live more ethical lives. And if one chooses to only eat raw, then it's up to them. However, I am very careful when I try to convince others of a vegan lifestyle to not make it overly complicated. There is no need to not eat cooked food for instance. It only makes it more restrictive than it needs to be.
The Academy of Nutrition and dietetics suggest that we aim for whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies, herbs and spices, and I would suggest that we also include mushrooms, even though - technically - they are not plants. And some tofu, mocked meats and plant milks makes it even easier. And of course, take a B12 supplement.
Right, this channel doesn't necessarily promote raw. So, it's all good. Veganism isn't a diet, it's a philosophy. As long as someone isn't eating animals and finding a way to make it as healthy as possible for their life that's all I care about. I'm not raw and the doctors and overwhelming 99 plus percent majority of vegans on my channel aren't raw either. This channel covers all types of vegans though, mostly longtime vegans and moving into lifelong vegans and multi-generational.
there's definitely advantages to cooking though, so I'm with you. Like some things such as carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, etc... either increase in nutritional value cooked, reduce so called anti-nutrients, etc... But, clearly that's not an issue since there's tens if not 100's of thousands of whole vegan food options within the legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs & spices :)
I disagree that mass produced vegan food is healthy. It is only slightly better than processed meat produce. Also, nuts and gluten harm me, so there is not one diet suitable for all of us. One has to try and adjust accordingly. When I moved onto wholefood plant based diet from fairly healthy eating vegan, I became unwell. My body was telling me finally what was wrong with me, which was hidden for years behind odd glasses of wine, sweets and all kinds of other vegan junk. So, I feel very well now but my diet is restricted which is fine and worth it. As to cooking I agree, it is healthy too, but raw is always better.
@@annaal7480 there is not one diet that suits all, but everybody can be vegan. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of edible plant options to choose from And tailor your diet to your specific needs. If you are raised properly on whole plant foods you would probably have far less issues and may not be allergic to anything healthy like nuts. And there's so many nuts you're probably not allergic to them all. And allergies change over time.
@@annaal7480 corporations making junk food and calling it vegan have no relevance to veganism. Don't convolute veganism with corporate exploitation. Veganism is not a packaged food. Veganism is a philosophy. It is not a diet. The healthiest whole plant foods are the most vegan. These are the most vegan because they are the least resource intensive and least packaged and therefore least invasive to wildlife and humans. And humans are animals, so what's healthiest for humans is going to be the most vegan. Some processed foods are probably totally healthy and fine though. So don't over generalize unless you have science to back up your empirical claims.
