    I’ve had 2 total hip replacements this year & my diet has been terrible. SOMETHING hurts all the time & I’ve been so discouraged about my health. Thank you so much for the encouragement to start making little changes so I can be healthy again!

      Hi Lee
      7 months ago had tkr and still in shock! Definitely the most traumatic experience for me.
      I'm really doing well according to my doc but every step still hurts a bit.
      I excersise daily which I did before the op.
      70 and feel great!
      It's never too late to start looking after your physical health.
      Good luck and wish u only good health and happiness.
      Your health is your wealth.
      Leanne (my friends call me Lea)

    Thank you for sharing the Asian squat. I'm a little older than you and have been doing strength endurance and balance training. The Asian squat is great at opening and strengthening our hips which is terribly important as we age. I love getting stronger and more flexible. It is empowering!

    I had an unforgettable experience at my mother's funeral many years ago. We had a cold but civil relationship. I am the 3rd of 5 children and always felt that I was different and unwanted. At the funeral home, my youngest brother, the baby of the family, asked me if I wanted to view my mother's body. I did not. He said I should and offered to go into the viewing room with me. It was a chilly November day and I remember feeling his warmth as I took his arm and we entered the private room and approached the open casket. We did not speak. My initial thought was how tiny she was - what was I so afraid of? I believe I was admiring her small, beautifully manicured hands when I became aware of an ethereal, slightly tingling, floating feeling that seemed to fall over me and completely envelope me. I identify it as pure Peace. Perhaps it was pure love? It was wonderful, like nothing I have ever felt, before or since. I was no longer aware of my brother beside me or my mother's body in front of me or the fragrance of the funeral flowers. Then it softly dissipated and I was back, holding onto my brother's arm. I have no idea how long it lasted. If my brother noticed anything, he never commented.

    I have had a few ‘interesting’ experiences in my life. I have come to believe that ‘spirit’ is always with us and ‘just there’ all the time. Not all of us have a specific gift where energy and spirit are concerned. It may help to simply know and believe you are never ‘alone’ and our higher power is always working for us. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

    Kimberly you have no idea how much this video has inspired me. I will be turning 62 this year and frankly these past few years I feel like I have aged 20 years. I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis which is an auto immune disease and I am convinced the cause is my bad lifestyle choices. So I am going to take your advice and start making those small changes and hopefully pull myself out of this hopeless feeling I have been having this past year. Thanks for inspiring me!!! BTW you radiate good health and happiness!

    I’m interested in your feeling about lucid dreaming. My father passed away in 2007 followed only several days in a hospice facility. For years afterward I wished I could dream about him and tell him how much I loved him. Finally, one random night I found myself in a dream walking alongside my father. There were no special circumstances and it was very mundane, but all of a sudden I realized that I knew I was dreaming (lucid dreaming) and I knew this would quickly cause me to awaken. I grabbed my father’s hand and told him how much I loved him and then I did immediately wake. The joy I felt is still palpable today, so many years after. The memory of this is crystal clear. I’ve read many articles/books on achieving lucid dreaming but have only had several others since.
    I love and appreciate all you do - thank you.❤

    You absolutely have given me hope. I just turned 50. I have been telling people im 60 for a while now (so i look great for my age! Lol). Im hoping to not have to lie anymore! Unfortunately I am paycheck to paycheck gal (even as an RN) after separating from husband, so i cant afford the expensive devices, but little by little i am purchasing serums and the microneedling thing. Ill stick with it all best i can afford. ❤

    Love the show and inspirations you always share, My most memorable moment was after asking who am I and embarking on a sacred journey where I travelled through a portal into the fae realms and angelic realms. Timelessness and then an all knowing understanding of everything. It was pure clarity and love. It has kept me humble.

    I had an OBE in the early ‘70s. I found myself in a state of absolute bliss. At one point another light being - or spirit - I didn’t recognize “zoomed” over to me, enveloped me with love, and joyfully said without saying, “I didn’t know YOU were here.” I was raised catholic and had no idea what had happened to me and knew no words to describe it. A couple years later, I happened upon the writings of William James and Raymond Moody and was thrilled (and comforted) to know it wasn’t an experience isolated to just me. ❤

    You are so right! Feeling better IS the prize. One year ago, I changed my life....I quit smoking, started exercising, changed my diet. I am now down 75 pounds and no longer need diabetes medication. I feel great! I also started a skin care routine and re-discovered makeup! Your videos have helped me along the way - I love your positive message and your helpful tips and tricks! Keep doing what you do...I appreciate you!! Hugs from Chicago! :)

    Those Asian squats are awesome. Staying flexible is going to help keep your balance as you age. I would add the "tree" pose. I do that sometimes when I am washing dishes or brushing my teeth. Kimberly is right - stretching in an Asian squat feels great.

    Many thanks for sharing your healing journey and providing much-needed motivation to all of us on the path. I witnessed the differences firsthand since childhood: my dad was a type A personality who, by the time I was 3, had had 2 heart attacks and had the arteries of an 80-year-old man according to his physicians. (he was 42 at the time and a heavy coffee drinker, loads of salt, ice cream every night... did I mention weekly migraines?) He followed diet religiously (avoided chips, sweets, etc), added daily salads and fresh meats, and began walking 3 miles a day, rain or shine. While he still struggled with various aches and pains through the years, he lived to 77 and attended both my high school and college graduations and walked me down the aisle, all while sharp as a tack and well-read. I watched my mother, who was blessed with a perfectly healthy body and solid constitution, grew up in the country on fresh cow's milk and fresh butter, rarely sick a day in her life, make no effort whatsoever toward any kind of exercise or mental stimulation like reading, crossword puzzles, no creative endeavors, no learning...ate sugar constantly, overweight... develop diabetes at age 50. I was forced to move back to the midwest from Northern California (which I miss terribly!), to provide full-time care for her after a stroke and dementia set in. My days begin and end with changing her diapers, washing folds of skin to prevent sores, and goes downhill from there. And of course very little time to care for myself properly. I urge everyone to visit nursing homes to get a realistic view of how bad it can get. With her strong constitution, she will likely outlive me, but her quality of life is terrible and she requires round-the-clock care. Her lack of self-care and self-awareness not only robbed her of several decades of her life, but as her only child robbed me of decades of mine. Not taking care of ourselves is literally selfish, because in your later years you can end up stealing valuable life force not only from yourself but from others. IF YOU WON'T DO IT FOR YOURSELF, DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDREN!! Blessings to all.

    Thank you Kimberly for sharing the Asian squat. I’ve noticed recently that I have slowly lost my ability to squat😮. Not even sure when it happened. My ability to move in general has decreased and is very depressing when I think about it. I just turned 60 but feel 10 years older due to lack of movement (beginning with Covid lockdown). I would greatly enjoy watching and learning your movement routine! Your videos always inspire me. Thank you.

  • @midlife_minimalist

    Thank you for your out-of-body story, love hearing about that! My story is a little different. I wasn't out of body, but somebody else unseen was with me. Let me start by saying I've always had strong intuition. Not anything useful, like 6 good numbers, but weird things like which way the cars in front of us were going to turn or what song was about to come on the radio. One day, though, it paid off big time. I was on my way back to work at the regional hospital after leaving the office for a doctor's appintment and I hopped on the interstate to get back quickly. I only had to go west for one exit. The car in front of me turned their right turn signal on and headed onto the exit and I did the same. The stop light at the end ot the ramp was red so we both continued to brake. They turned their left turn light on, I turned my right. As the vehicle in front slid over to the left, the light turned green and we both hit the gas. Just as I drew alongside the car, two things happened simultaneously. I caught a glimpse of the brake light coming on in the back window of the car and a voice--not mine, not anyone I recognized--said very clearly to me, "You don't want to die on this road today." Without hesitation, I slammed on the brake and came to a stop with the front end of my car just over the end of the exit ramp. And just in time to see a concrete truck blow through his red light. In my little Ford Escort, if he'd T-boned me, that would have been it. It's never happened again and I can't explain it, but I'm forever grateful for it. I suppose it just wasn't my day. :)

The second time I heard that voice- the voice outside my head, clear as day, said “You’ll be ok.” The next week the drs told me I had to have brain surgery. And, you know what? I am ok!!!

    What a great; refreshing Vlog Kimberly. Thank You so Much for sharing with us. I am 61 and getting ready for another major back surgery to remove a tumor that’s compressing my spinal cord at T10-T11. I’m so out of shape. I was a jogger; rollerblading; and work out in the gym for years until I injured my spinal canal while helping a Patient get onto the exam table. I’m not allowed to do any weights; etc. it really is hard. I’ve got to research the Asian Squat and begin doing that and want to do yoga soon. You have inspired me!!! Thank You!!

    I'm Asian in my 60s and the Asian Squat comes pretty naturally. No problems going down or getting up. Glad to know it's good for the hips, as there lies the problem.

    Hi Kimberly, I would love to see how you set up the tray for sprouting micro greens

    Growing up in the south (North Florida)I’ve eaten boiled peanuts all my life and just took for granted that everyone else did too!! I’m reminded of my granddaddy getting them from the roadside stand and back then (60’s) they were packaged in the small brown bags that got all wet but we didn’t care because they didn’t last long. I’m happy to see you like them!!!!

    I’ve taken up Pilates recently and I can’t believe how much flexible and stronger I feel
    after only a few short weeks - little things like getting into and out of a chair without assistance is liberating - I’ll be incorporating the Asian squat in my daily routine - loved your conversation with Jo Good you should take her up on her offer of you staying with her on London - I made some diet and lifestyle changes a few months ago and have managed to almost reversed my diabetes and improved other blood markers, have lost 40 pounds, plenty of inches off my waist, another 30 pounds to go but already feeling and looking so much better - it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to get into beautiful clothes i haven’t worn in years and packing up those clothes that are now just too large for me - most importantly I’m grateful for my improved health. I had an out of body experience when a night out in the town with a girlfriend she was hit by a cab driver - I saw her go head first through the screen then thrown above the car onto the road - I recall looking down observing the event without any emotion then suddenly realising who that person was and being shocked back to my physical body. It was an extraordinary evening as the hospital the paramedics took her to was the hospital my brother worked at and he happened to
    Be rostered working when she was admitted!

    Greetings Kimberly. As a child, I had many out of body experiences. I actually thought everybody did until college! After I began a serious study of yoga they actually increased and at the time it was a bit overwhelming. Things have calmed down and maybe I have integrated them more. Love and blessings ♥️🙏

    Hi Kimberly! Boiled peanuts are a southern delicacy! Glad you liked them. I cook mine in a crock pot, covering them with water, and adding salt to taste-about 3/4 cup of salt. Cook them on low for about 4 hours or until tender. Glad you are enjoying the South!

    Hi Kimberley 😊great vlog as always! And fascinating story in the out of body experience! When I was a teen I used to sleep with the duvet ever my head. Then suddenly I realised I had no air abc I knew I needed to wake but Aldi knew I was still fast asleep. It was so bizarre! I would try with all my might to move ( but couldn’t because I was fast asleep) eventually I kicked my leg which woke me and I pulled the covers back and took a deep breath. Not quite the same I know, but how weird that I knew I was sleeping and I knew I had to wake up! In October 2020 I suffered a cardiac arrest and I was not breathing for 10 minutes. Sadly I saw nothing during that time. BUT… right before my heart stopped, I turned to my daughter and said.. wow what is that?! And there was a glowing ball of light in a turquoise colour floating across the room. We both saw it. Then I was gone. Thankfully I have as revived 🙏🏻 and here to tell you he tale. Much love from the UK xxx

    I do this while gardening. I'm so proud I can do this. I can pop up to grab a rake or shovel. My journey to this squat did take some years. Squats against a wall with a fitness ball between my back and wall. Rolling up and down. Barre classes to loosen my stiff feet. Yoga and pilates aided me as well. It's a nice stretch on your lower back doing this Asian squat.

    Girl...I know the sense of accomplishment you're feeling over something seemingly so trivial!
    I AM ASIAN and was stupefied when I could not get down to do an ASIAN SQUAT.
    Too many years sitting at a desk and a 3 hour daily commute took it toll on my physicality. Turning 65 was a wake-up call and I have been slowly regaining mobility and strength.
    Took 3 months to get do the squat but am still unable to sustain position comfortably. Work in process!!! Thanks for sharing and stressing the work and time needed to avoid injury. Great job!

    I enjoyed your full post on microgreens when you originally posted it. Seeing today's post reminded me I should go back and watch it again. My husband keeps succulents and has many of the "living stones" succulents. I haven't had an out of body experience as you described but have had many other experiences that could only be a result of some sort of cosmic connection.

    Hi I love this position too! My back really enjoys this. To check if it is your ankles, roll a towel and put under your heels before going down to the squat. Also, if the knees are “cranky” try bringing the knees in to the chest while on your back to help the knees. Happy squatting!

    The Asian squat info and the pep talk you gave in the middle about incrementally improving your health are so valuable in this post. Thank you! What you describe is the concept shared in the Atomic Habits book. I'm 52 and trying to do some of what you are describing in a way that works for me. Great inspiration here...

    Watched the Minx this morning. I think she said Wednesday. I get a kick out of her! Thanks for recommending. I attempted the squat. Had to lean forward to keep from tipping backward. Almost got into it all the way. Only lasted about 40 seconds before I had to stand up. Going to practice while coffee is brewing every morning. Read somewhere that being able to go from standing to sitting Indian style, then standing from that position predicts longevity! Asian squat should help.

    I also have had metaphysical experiences, not something I often discuss but remember as clear as day. The first was at age 19, then again starting later in my life. I am now 68 and can describe every detail. They have been under ordinary events, no trauma or reason. ❤

    Love this vlog as usual. Did the Asian squat this morning just to see if I could, I did it but not for as long as you. I have had 3 experiences like u described, all of which were a surprise, but lovely and unforgettable. The one I will share is when I was about 24, I was out dancing and I left my body. It was the best feeling and I understood it. I went back too fast. I often think back and wonder why it happened, and what if I hadn’t returned, but it was great. The other one I will share, just because it’s kind of funny. I was abducted by aliens in a dream, but I swear it happened. I even tell people I think it was real. They look at me sideways, but I don’t care. That’s it, love you, can’t wait to see your interview.

    Hi Kimberly! I love your videos and vlogs! Many of them hit very close to home for me. Today's video, in particular, really hit home for me. I had a kidney transplant 5 years ago this month and at that point started really cleaning up my diet. I've always taken relatively good care of my skin but during the pandemic, I got hyper focused on my skin care. I have seen a tremendous difference in my skin in the last two and a half years. You really can do a lot with at home devices and good serums. I love your channel! Keep them coming!

    I absolutely love your channel! I started watching after Jo Good mentioned you and am addicted to both of you now. ❤ I loved your pep talk- so smart and practical! Thanks for showing us the Asian squat. I just tried one. Got down fine and then thought no way can I get back up. I remembered you saying you won’t think you can, but you can, and voila, I did! It reminded me of being in a yoga class, and the instructor said try balancing your leg out behind you, arms open like you’re flying. He said ask the universe to help you, and suddenly what was hard became very simple. Curious about trying to grow a tray of micro greens but no idea where to. I love that they’re so nutritious and would like to grow my own. I loved your metaphysical story. I’ve had many experiences where I knew something was going to happen, maybe not all the details but the gist. After one of my grandmothers died, she came to me in a dream. She showed me an object and gave me a message regarding my parents. When I told my mom, she knew what the object was, which I had been unaware of. The experience was eye opening that these things are possible. I also remember looking down at myself from the ceiling but I think I was dreaming. Sometimes in my dreams, I can walk a few inches off the ground effortlessly. It’s simple and euphoric.
