Omg, watching this i realize how poorly my food choices are that i am consuming. I am not overweight, but my nutrition level is probably very low. I barely eat any vegetables. This video is a wake up call for me. Thank you.
Can you get a base result before doing the change of eating? Like blood work or access where your health is now...then at end of year do that results part.
Thank you for this!! I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis a year and a half ago. It’s been complete hell and life-threatening. For too long, I was in denial that my lifestyle had anything to do with it. But since December, I’ve made drastic changes in my diet and try to live by the rule of “if it doesn’t benefit me, I won’t eat it.” This has helped my disease more than any steroid, any chemo or any immunomodulator I’ve been put on. I’ve learned the way you fuel your body is everything. Can’t wait to learn from you over the next 30 days!!
Hi Amanda, I'm so sorry to hear about your health problems and I'm sending you lots of well wishes and healing thoughts. I completely sympathize, I also thought I had this disease for a while (or maybe IBS) and suffered considerably. I finally saw a new specialist who gave me Cipro antibiotic and it turned out I had campylobacter poisoning (found in undercooked poultry). It took a while for me to recover but eventually I did and I'm about 85% better now... I just wanted to mention this in case it could help maybe yourself or anyone out there with the symptoms. It's just good to rule it out... I read campylobacter is the most common bacterial infection of the gut that people get world wide. Christine, I really appreciate your healthy and mindful videos and sometimes it's nice to get some coaching about what to eat. Or to just have a friend to watch, showing good habits. I still have a lot of other inflammation like chronic asthma and joint pain so eating very well really helps. It's hard to stay on track but definitely notice the difference. :) All the best, Sarah
Sarah 28 you are definitely onto something! When I was in the hospital for my worst flare, I ended up with Sepsis from an infiltrated IV. As a result, I had a midline placed and infused cefazolin (antibiotic) into myself 3x a day for about a month. It improved my UC as well as the Sepsis and I couldn’t ignore that. But antibiotics don’t discriminate and kill good and bad bacteria both, and then when you’re off of it the bad bacteria can rebound and it sometimes does. It did for me. It’s expensive, but there’s a powder product called Visbiome that’s a probiotic that’s been helping me along with eating healthy. It just takes longer to work than an antibiotic is all. This is referred to as VSL3 in academic studies/ scientific journals, but the name had to change because of a lawsuit (the trademark on VSL3 was up
and the developer’s partners marketed an inferior product under the same name).
I’m happy Cipro helped you. There’s a lot of research that backs antibiotics / probiotics improving IBD / IBS symptoms.
@@amandaklingberg7570 Hi Amanda, I'm so happy to hear you found things that work well for you. Now if only the price of all pharmaceuticals went down so all folks could afford everything they need, right. :) :) (My inhaler used to be $180 per month, so sad...) I agree, antibiotics aren't ideal and we all need probiotics. I just meant before that in my case a campylobacter infection actually gave me the exact same symptoms as listed for the crohns/IBS/ulcerative colitis disease group. I had misdiagnosed myself. Wish I didn't. So in my case after I took Cipro and then my gut healed up (took a few months) I was pretty much better. Just not sure if there are a number of other folks out there who think it's IBS/ UC when in fact its campylobacter? Just wanted to throw my experience out there in case it could help anyone else reading this. My doctor did say most antibiotics have a temporary "anti inflammatory effect" which was interesting. I did hear that the deadly nightshade family of veggies is notorious for causing inflammation. So tomatoes and eggplant for example may not be our friend if we have chronic inflammation. I do think the healing and antioxidant power of veggies is very real. I've heard so many stories of people drinking a lot of juice and curing their cancer. I appreciate Christine's help. :) :) Have a good day!
Sarah 28 Do you remember what kind of test you did for that?? Now I’m kind of curious!
@@amandaklingberg7570 Hi Amanda, well I saw a gastroenterologist who put me on the cipro as a precaution and she said since it worked so well on me and I was pretty much cured that I must have had a campylobacter infection because that's what it kills. I'm definitely not an expert, so just repeating what she told me.

MsFaithAmber Thank you!
@@nibabi your welcome. It was for myself too cause I be going back to reference this content lol :)
MsFaithAmber do you eat the lentils?
@@TanglesunTamed i don't eat them a lot but am gradually making legumes a staple in my diet. I will be experimenting with sprouting lentils soon. sprouts are expensive in my area, high in nutrition and easy to diy. and many people dont realize you can sprout from legumes. When I do it I will have a video on my channel probably qbout 2 weeks from the start. I have other growing food content but mostly vlogs and adventures.
MsFaithAmber awesome! Thank you for the info 💕
Oh YAY!! You posted again!! Thank you ..what a treat to start the weekend!! 😘❤💯
You can make celery juice in the vitamix! Just blend the celery and then use a nut-milk bag or muslin bag to strain it. It turns out exactly the same!
Katie Kolpin U are right! I’ve done this myself...
Yes! I got rid of my juicer (too difficult to use and keep clean!) in favor of my Vitamix (which I LOVE!)
thanks I will try that as I have been considering getting a juicer, but I want a good one that will yield as much juice as possible... I used a cheap one my brother has for a while when I was caring for my dad and it seems like it wasn't juicing as much as it could... and I felt like there was a lot of money and time down the drain in terms of what I was spending on the fruits and veg... and I would re run some of the chunks from the pulp... just took a lot of time... celery juice is one thing I wanted to add to my daily diet, so if I can do it without a juicer machine, I may not get one at all, or not worry about getting one any time soon and I can get a juice from a juice restaurant a couple times a week as my convenience food and running around snacks
I don’t understand why so many people are complaining about her new diet. She’s taking care of her body and ensuring that she gets all her necessary nutrients that a human body needs. Most of us don’t get half the nutrients we need in a day especially with all the processed crap people consume. Just because she was a healthy eater before doesn’t mean she was consuming all necessary nutrients. She even said she never really ate many greens and dark leafy greens are packed with so many nutrients they are so important to have in a diet everyday. People don’t understand how important it is to keep your body properly nourished. I personally believe everyone should be eating this way and it certainly doesn’t mean she has orthrexia.
Christine, thank you for making this video, and can’t wait to follow you on this journey of healing thru foods, which will be very helpful. AND, I love all the white in your house, your voice is very calming!
I have celiac disease and general digestive issues and I find that eating this way is super beneficial for healing my body as well! Proud of you for sharing your health journey and healing whole plant based foods. I also use cronometer to make sure I'm getting in all the micronutrients I need in a week or daily. Don't let people who don't understand put down or criticize your diet. If you come from the perspective of eating a western style diet, you'd think eating this way looks crazy. But nowadays I think eating meat and dairy and junkfood looks crazy. Dr. Greger would be proud of you :)
Awesome, so excited!! Gunna make a nice cup of tea and start the morning with your video 🥰😍🥰😍 Have an amazing day/night dear Christine 🌸🌼
Yay!!! Was so happy to see you upload! I literally cant get enough of your videos, on whatever it is about! Have to say this food one was the best I’ve EVER watched. I love how you are showing us what you are exactly doing step by step, no fast forwarding. Like a normal person! Honestly helps me personally SO much and makes me feel like hey, I could do this. It’s mmm doesn’t look that hard. So happy you are doing this. Please continue and definitely going to sign up with Cronometer. Thanks Christine for sharing this with us as you go. Much love and blessings to you both. 💜😘
Yes !! My weekend love 💕🌈 new video !
I really appreciate you sharing this. You were the one that transformed my life from vegetarian to vegan when you had your challenge a few years ago. I love your delicious, budget friendly recipes. Thank you! 🙏 😊
Yes!!! Christine is going to post her daily eating for 30 days straight???!!! 👏👍👏
Again, I adore and respect her channel because she educates and inspire other’s to become better in life. 💖
I, am a true believer that anyone whom has CHF - Congestive Heart Failure or experiencing a lot of forgetfulness...taking one Coconut Capsule daily helps prevent plaque stick to arteries and to the brain 🧠, so plaque will not stick and cause DVT’s - deep vein thrombosis clots and Alzheimer’s.
I hope people don’t give her a mouthful if she doesn’t post a video daily like they did when she and Michael done the 30 day vegan challenge. I’m expecting maybe one a week.
I am so excited that you are back. I love 💕 your videos.👍🏻. Keep on
THANK YOU ❣As someone struggling to relieve my own digestive symptoms and embarking on a paleo/low fodmap diet I am so grateful to see this series beginning. Everyone's health journey is their own and ours won't be identical but it's great for inspiration to keep at it as well as clean eating recipe ideas.
I am disappointed every time someone bashes someone else for trying to better themselves. So many people are overweight, unhealthy, and sick. You have valid reasons for wanting to better your health. There are always ways we can grow and learn. I understand why people could be concerned, but really this is your journey and I appreciate you sharing. Thank you. Another marker for me would be inflammation.
It’s sad that the western world is so used being unhealthy that when someone tries to improve their health & diet it’s considered “extreme”. I’ve seen plenty of other RUclipsrs “what I eat in a day” videos that are filled with processed junk, fast food, etc & no one bats an eye. God forbid Christine wants to increase her life’s longevity.
Clarice Kitty you honestly think that cutting a nut in half because it is 4gr instead of 2 is a healthy mind set? Yes eating mainly whole foods and greens and plants in general is very good but there's such a thing called being a little over board and over doing things.
Sophie S. Explain why trying to get the exact amount of proper nutrients IS NOT a healthy mind set. What’s the difference between this and fitness people counting their calories & fat every single day? No one says a thing to those people. Maybe you shouldn’t be so judgmental of someone’s lifestyle choice.
Clarice Kitty Yassssssss! Thank you 😊
This is so very good! Hmm I am so hungry now! Can't wait to try those sushi wraps! And yes, I love hearts of palm, so delicious! How can you not like something so good for you and so amazingly pretty! Such a perfect way to nourish your body the way it should be done. Being passionate about living a beautiful long and healthy life is a gift you give yourself! Love the life you have and live the life you love! All I can say is it's never too late. Love your focus and determination. It is so inspiring!! Thank you again for sharing what you've come to know. I learn so much!! ✌😘❤🍌🍎🍑🥑🍅🥝🥕🥕🥦🥬🍄
Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
I'll ALSO do your challenge 🙏🙏🙏
GREAT idea!!
Thank you for the inspiration!!!
Hey Tina if you make videos of the challenge I'll watch them
I’m so pumped to watch this series from you. I’m in my 40s and recently had the same “lightbulb “ moment after my father suffered a heart attack. He seemed so healthy. I’m making serious life changes because as you said perfectly, it’s our future if not. Thanks sweetie for these. I’m on board with ya!! 💜
Life is about wholeness not perfection, your diet was already super healthy compared to a normal american diet. Of course it's best to eat less sugar and more greens, but a vegan pizza once in a while is NOT a problem at all. Plus, having a "clean" diet will NOT assure a life free of diabetes or cancer, I know some people who were living a clean diet and died of cancer, like my mom who had a great diet and never smoked in her life and died of a lung cancer...life is impredictable, it is about having harmony in ones life and not obssessing about having a diet free of everything.
Wayne Douglas- i think so too, she doesn’t look healthy, hardly talking and very thin. I wonder if her teeth are all hers and healthy, since her diet doesn’t give her necessary minerals for the teeth, etc. Since the USA soil is so poor and depleted.
Love these videos ! I’m so happy your posting these videos ! Thank you!!
Glad to see you Christine ❤️ I hope you both are doing well 😘☀️Thanks for this video/info, appreciate it. Someone working at a Fresh Thyme store just recently told me about that website. I haven’t used or looked at it myself yet, but seeing you using it has reminded me about it. It looks interesting and a good idea 😊 Much love and success with your new eating challenge - Fran 😘
Absolutely love this new series and your sharing this. Spring/summer is upon us and this is our time to do this for me. I am also saving for a juicer and will be doing a green juice, and green smoothie. Hope to lose weight and feel better. It was a long winter on the east coast. Can't wait for your recipes and tips.
Heck yeah!!! I'm so excited for your videos. We dont get them any more!
Ok here we go starting tomorrow. Totally need this right now. You where definitely talking to me. My family has health issues so much so I never knew my grandparents! Thanks for this video
You’ve just motivated and encouraged me even more to continue being a vegetarian. 2 years now and going strong. Going to change my eating habits even more so, and eat even healthier.
Christine, I'm wishing you much good fortune as you begin this endeavor! You are such an inspiration for so many----Great work! :)
YAY!!! I was hoping you would upload a new vid!!
Love this format!💕💕💕
Looking forward to watching this series!!
As a vegan, fitness junkie health freak, food is one of life’s greatest pleasures. I cannot imagine not having vegan comfort foods... binging etc. I promise you won’t make it out alive even if you skip the vegan pizza.
Treat yourself girl. Not always but not never.
Please be careful Christine, this Sounds like orhorexia to me.
What is Orthorexia
An individual can become all-consumed with what to eat, how much to eat, what is in the food, and the lifestyle of “pure” eating. Orthorexia is about rigidity and the ‘right’ way of eating.
Stages of Orthorexia
Orthorexia develops in two stages. The first stage is when a person develops a thought and belief system around healthy eating. Often the belief system revolves around clean eating, paleo, vegan, raw foods, and “elimination” diets [2].
Some of these may be unsafe or medically unstable and lead to malnutrition. More popular diets that may be associated with orthorexia can be followed safely, but regardless of the diet, all are restrictive in nature and can lead to orthorexia or an eating disorder.
The second stage is when the person begins to obsess about the foods. Like most diets, they can lead to the restriction of foods and food categories. The person becomes obsessed with food, preparing food, and planning the most perfect and pure meals.
.Self-Assessment of Orthorexia
Do you wish that occasionally you could just eat and not worry about food quality?
Do you ever wish you could spend less time on food and more time living and loving?
Does it seem beyond your ability to eat a meal prepared with love by someone else - one single meal - and not try to control what is served?
Are you constantly looking for ways foods are unhealthy for you?
Do love, joy, play, and creativity take a back seat to following the perfect diet?
Do you feel guilt or self-loathing when you stray from your diet?
Do you feel in control when you stick to the “correct” diet? Have you put yourself on a nutritional pedestal and wonder how others can possibly eat the foods they eat?
Barbara B No what is wrong is when everybody in America is overweight or obese. Eating processed foods will give you disease. Tracking what she eats means that she’s very diligent and careful and there’s nothing wrong with that. Making sure she eats the right foods means that she’s careful. Everybody’s drugged up from eating this crap food America only pushes. Frankly I’m sick of seeing fat people and 90% chemical eaten food.
If you want to put her in the corner for being different and waking up and not following what everyone else is doing in the fat group go ahead.
How dare you judge her. Stop being jealous of her achievements. You could use a salad as well and you know that’s true.
@@Pinkoflove3
I am French, and along with other "latin" European countries, we are way thinner, healthier and live longer than you.
And believe me on this: we do eat absolutely everything. Meat, fish, seafood, dairy, eggs, nuts, cereals, vegetables, fruits. All kinds of fats, proteins and sugars you can think of.
You don't have to cut everything off to be heathy. Just cook your own meals, eat reasonable portions, eat slowly, and diversify your food as much as you can.
I really don't understand why it seems so difficult for you guys to eat... normally.
Natural 235
Nothing wrong with trying to make someone aware. Doesn’t sound judgmental. Sounds more like concern... however, comments like “fat group” and “tired of seeing ‘fat people’ sounds very judgmental to me.
I think being a vegan is promoting animal cruelty. Do You know how? To grow some vegetables in a farm the farmer has to kill all the animals or snakes or birds and insects and flies trying to eat that veggies.insects, worms, snakes, rodents, rabbits, and just about any other animal that lives in holes in the ground are killed in the process of conventional grain farming. More fertilisers : more kills .More vegans : more animal cruelty.
Natural 235 YES!!! I TOTALLY AGREE! I am so tired of everyone making excuses for people being unhealthy and fat (and I need to lose 50 lbs myself but this is no one’s fault but my own and I will never be happy at this weight not because of looks but because it’s not healthy!). She is being a great example, she never mentioned anything about looks or vanity, she’s focused on health and how she feels. Most of us could use more of that. And she never even mentioned calories! So what’s so concerning about what she’s doing? I don’t understand some people...
Love this video! Looking forward to viewing the others!
So excited to watch your journey and to hear about results. You are inspiring me to clean up my diet too. I will follow along. 😍
LOVE your food videos and I've learned a ton over the years! My daughter is vegetarian so this helps me bulk up her diet with more nutrients. My only advice in return? Just keep in mind that genetics is always in play.... some health concerns can't always be avoided if a genetic disposition is there. We just do our best to live a healthy life and treat problems if needed. You could go to a walk-in lab and have a full baseline drawn, including cholesterol panel and A1c. And that Brazil nut? Eat the entire thing if you feel like it! 😎 I ain't about to leave a delicious Brazil nut half eaten! Your healthy eating is inspirational, but don't let it go somewhere unhealthy. Bon appetit!
This video is exactly what I need to get started on a 30 day challenge starting tomorrow. ( need to buy some supplies) but I will not be cutting up beets though with a white shirt on😀👍
Lisadawn 🤣
I thought you were already eating a super healthy diet.
She does. I'm very hopeful she isn't on with the MMS/woo woo jillian juice type belief. Though I think she does think crystal healing is a valid form of healing.. I've just been watching a lot of myles powers lately and am concerned Christine can go overboard with the "health" stuff
I think she's going a little too extreme.
I worry a little that she’s going overboard in an unhealthy way as well, maybe because she’s scared of getting older? If you’re already eating as healthy as she is, and getting sufficient exercise, a lot of the diseases are just genetic. Also, anti-aging tip is if you are too skinny, your face looses its plumpness and you look more wrinkly and older. A little fat on your body is good!!
Personally I think Christine is one of the smartest people on youtube, quite possibly a genius. Perhaps some people simply do not understand.
Curious Nomad It’s those that are afraid of change that stay with the larger group to follow regardless of what’s happening to them. Change is hard for most unless you begin to question why and open up your eyes.
I just love you. You’re such an inspiration. You were the first person I ever heard suggest that dairy was causing cystic acne. I cut dairy and chicken out of my diet and damn!! My face cleared right up! ❤️🙌🏻👏🏻 you’re a goddess, Christine.
I would like to add too that I will eat chicken from the local butcher and it won’t break me out. Several butchers have said it’s the preservatives added into the chicken that was probably doing the deed.
I am so on the same page as you! I also turned 38 this year, and I've been trying to eat way more greens and raw food for the last few months too! Great video!
Love this
Christine, you have been my inspiration for years! You are so beautiful, loving, wise and peaceful! You and Michael are just an example on how to live a full, happy and wonderful life, getting and giving joy! You radiate so much positivity! Thank you for every minute of sharing your wonderful world with us!
Also, I really cannot believe you will be 40 soon. I am sure everyone will agree with me that you don’t look a day over 30! I am completely serious!
I am really looking forward to this series. I have thyroid issues and have been gluten and dairy free, but I still have massive work to do on changing my diet to a healing diet. I get so many tips from you and you set the bar high. I am going to start a list of markers as well and track those. Thanks for doing this, I know it is a lot of work to put a video up every day.
I have thyroid issues too. I would recommend checking out the castaway kitchen she's amazing!
love the food you prepare... thanks for sharing.. and helping me to wake up and eat better for my health .... you rock
i would love to see your grocery list... it would help me a lot
Yay for this video! I’ve been eating a very high raw diet for the last couple months and it’s been really awesome to notice the positive changes in myself. Thanks for sharing with us and keep the content coming. You’re very inspiring 😀
Girl you are the most disciplined person on RUclips!
I LOVE THE CRONOMETER....thanks for introducing it.
Love your channel !!!💕💕💕
Thank you Christine. I needed this right now. Needed it always but I have eaten keto in the past to lower my inflammatory responses, but I have gotten off of keto and can’t seem to get it going again. But what you are doing here is ideal for me with all varieties of vegetables. Ordered my roasted seaweed wrap (definitely want one not to fishy), will be here by end of day tomorrow. I’ll go out and get the heart of palm and they rest of the veggies tomorrow. Thank you so much, can’t wait to start consuming nutritious healing foods. Bless you for doing these videos!
Those wraps look great 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for doing this. I am still on my health journey and this is perfect. I am always looking for healthy recipes. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this vid and information. You have talked about so many vital points of good nutrition and the benefits of eating to support wellness. I am looking forward to more of the same from your YT videos.
I need to eat more greens too! You are such a role model and I always learn so much from you! ❤️
This should be an interesting series to watch. I grew up with three type 1 diabetics, there was zero sugar in the house including fruit. Because of that I look at fruit as a rare rare treat. At the time I thought I was being deprived but I don't have a sweet tooth so I guess that's a good thing
IKR? I just eat melon and berriesmsince those are the low carb fruits...oops, ate a small apple this a.m.!
I love these longer videos!😊
The rolls look delish, I bet the cucumber is refreshing. Will have to make these for my sons.
I would like to see markers like blood work and urine. Things like AC1 insulin levels, cholesterol, acidity, liver enzymes, complete blood panel, etc. I would be more interested in those markers before and after as I believe those are the true markers to diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc.
2nd this... 👍👍👍
Christine, I am sure the year of antibiotics really messed up your micro biome and you are smart for using food as medicine as you are doing to reverse the damage done. I wish you all the best in health!
Christine you are my inspiration 😊 great challenge👍
Thank you for sharing this very informative video! I look forward to the challenge!
Thank you for doing this. Great video
Thank you for the awesome recipes 😋💞💞💞💞💞💞
Love this! We have no way to know accurately what our predecessors have eaten. Their food was not as chemically as compromised as ours. I am so concerned that others think your choices are wrong! So funny! You need to do what you know is right for your body. You go girl! ~Dana
Great idea. I'm following!!
Great video. So much information. Thank you.
I love your rainbow vegan wraps tutorial.
I really want to do this with you! I’m 12 years younger than you but I’m right there with you - I’ve passed out in class from period cramps before! My acne is on an all time high, I’m a bundle of anxiety, gaining weight because of it, not eating enough greens... yep! I’m inspired! 💕
This is bizarre to me just because you are the healthiest eater I've ever seen- I don't fully understand that you had concerns about your diet!
Yeah, I don't think she's in any danger * of diabetes of all things..I'm worried about what she means by healing food...I kind of think she might stray toward the "woo woo" type health stuff sometimes, it makes me worry she'll try black salve or jilly juice.
Totally. I was like what the heck--she already ate so well. But I've been watching for a few years and noticed Christine has a tendency to get obsessive about things. When an interest is sparked, she does the most. eg. most recently--plants. Learns everything about. Gets all-consumed. I think she even mentioned this about herself in one of her sit down, answer question videos. I think she knows it's not healthy, and I hope she eases up. I'm all for eating well, educating one's self on eating the right phytonutrients to beat disease, but all within reason. The tracking and all that b.s. is not a normal, enjoyable, sustainable way of life. Who wants to live like this? I sure don't. Did mother nature create us so we can input our daily food rations into a computer application? I think not. This is not fun at all, and who has the time for this?! I thinks she needs to relax. I hate to talk about a person like this in the comments, and I usually never post as I noticed too she rarely replies to comments or questions, but after viewing this crazy video, I had to leave my two cents and respond to other posters who were thinking the same thing. Take care of yourself, Christine, but enjoy yourself. We were not meant to be on this earth to obsessively track our micros and macros. Have enjoyed watching your videos otherwise. you were so much more laidback in Hawaii.
I don't either. It makes me feel even worse about my own diet lol.
I also agree that those diet input apps aren't healthy. They're just something to obsess over. I also highly doubt they have any real value in terms of calculating vitamins and all of that. Just read labels...
WatermelonPeppermint Black salve healed my dog of cancer - TWICE. It’s a miracle, don’t put down something you don’t understand just because you’re misinformed
Great series! Love watching your videos. I would recommend the castaway kitchen and the paleo mom. They both have great info on aip eating including a variety of foods. It was really helpful for me with my insulin resistance issues and my autoimmune disease!
Thank you for sharing what you eat and your journey 💐
Love it! I love you take the time and explain everything you are doing. It will be a nice if you list on your description box some things. Like your vitamin b12, so we can look for it and see if we wanna try it. I will start this journey. I was asking for a change and you came with this 30days meals. 💜 things happen for a reason.
christine, you’re gonna love celery juice it really does detox you! this might be tmi but it makes me 💩 up to 2-3 times a day when normally i only go once a day. i highly recommend the shine juicer its a cold press juicer for only 150 and its perfect for if you’re just gonna juice celery! and it’s so sleek i love it! but like u mentioned u do have to cut it into small 1 inch pieces so the long fibers dont wrap around the auger. also make sure u buy organic lentils cause they get sprayed 10 days before harvest along with these other crops-wheat, oats, non-gmo canola, flax, peas, non-gmo soy beans, dry beans and sugar cane.
I watched this while eating pizza 😭😂😂 love your videos so good to see you posting !
Than-q for this excellent and informative video. I appreciate your authentic, candid discussion about your history with your health and what you have done and are doing now in an attempt to heal the damage created over time.
Having read through some of the comments I can only think that some either did not watch the entire video, did not listen to what you said in it or did not comprehend all you said. Far too many took from it that you have become “obsessive”, possibly to the point of orthorexia, with many stating you had already been eating healthy enough and had no need to change your diet at all. I cringed as I read given that we see momentary glimpses of your life, yet people assume they know you and your habits and make judgements about your mental health and wellbeing. They completely passed over all you discussed regarding working towards healing the damage a year of powerful antibiotics did to your body. They seemingly failed to understand that you are doing a challenge and a “study” so are tracking and documenting all you are taking in.
I have had an intestinal bacterial infection over 100 times, for which I have had to take very strong antibiotics. The older I get, the more brutal the effects of the antibiotics, far more painful and difficult to deal with and recover from than the infection itself. I have complete empathy, as both an RN and a long-term patient, for how you may be feeling and what you are attempting to overcome and achieve this year.
We each have our own set of priorities for which we will make certain changes and/or sacrifices in order to attain our goals. Some strive for beauty beyond all else, some health, whether physical, mental, spiritual or all, some fitness, some a balance of some or all of the aforementioned. It is for each of us to determine for ourselves what is lacking or needs improvement in our own lives, if anything, and then devise a strategy to change or overcome whatever that is. It is not for anyone to sit in judgment of anyone else or how they are living out their journey to be the very best, most vibrant and healthy version of themselves.
I appreciate your viewers being concerned for your wellbeing. Many have expressed concern about your tracking your food intake as that has led some into orthorexia in the past. Eating high raw can pose some challenges. One must take care to get in enough calories and nutrients. It is easy to eat in abundance but still miss your mark on both by a wide margin if you are not careful, given how incredibly low calorie many vegetables and fruits are. As you avoid grains due to sensitivities you have to find other sources for calories where you would traditionally use a grain. I presume you are aware of all I am saying. I am clarifying it more for any viewers who may have been confused or concerned as to why you would need to track your intake. Once again, you are doing this as a scientific “challenge” or “study” and using yourself as a guinea pig. The only way to do that efficiently is to document everything. That way, any results, positive or negative, can be linked back to food you ate on a particular day at a particular time. Many thought you extreme for cutting your Brazil nut in half. When you are only eating a set amount of fat throughout the day then every gram does indeed count. When you are eating for nutrition and half a nut gives you all of a certain nutrient you need for the day, there is no reason to eat the whole nut.
You are always a source of valuable information in your videos, whether about nutrition, recipes, plants, “clean” cleaning products...the list goes on. I so appreciate you taking the time to do the extensive research you do in order to be able to present it to us.
You are a gift, an extraordinary light shining brightly in this current world of social and mainstream media promoting fitness and “diet” advice based on quick fixes, powders and bars or things like young people experimenting with their health, with little to no science behind what they are doing, with impressionable people following them, believing they know what they are doing based on what they look like on the outside. You are a model of living this lifestyle rather than a diet. You focus on overall health combined with fitness, living in a balanced, healthy way without extremes of any kind.
Having walked a few miles in your shoes, I truly hope you find the healing you are seeking. I know how frustrating it can be when you are eating clean, exercising and taking the best care of your body you can but still there is something wrong that you struggle to find the means to correct. May this year bring you the answers you seek.
Keep doing all you are doing. You are changing lives! I am grateful for your gentle ways. You are a joy to share my time with!
With peace, gratitude, grace and healing light! XOXO
As a vegan myself for 5 years now, I know from personal experience that yes eating mostly whole foods is essential however obsessing over quantities and being so "strict" in types of vegan whole foods you choose to eat may not be the best thing do do. From what I already saw in your vids you were already eating pretty healthy, but having half a nut just because it is a little heavier than you thought?! euh this seems a little over board (no hate, just an honest opinion)
Christine, please be careful not to fall into Orthorexia
I Iike your content, but this was one of the 1st vids you made I cringed a little to be honest, wishing all the best in any case 🍃
Sophie S. agree....the day I spend time inside my home in front of a computer screen recording half a Brazil nut.....is the day I need to re-evaluate my life and put things in perspective
people take brazil nuts like vitamins or medicine... I know people who are on about 10 meds a day from the pharma companies and they spend a couple times a day using pill cutters to get the right amounts, maybe we should be concerned about them? ... brazil nuts are one of the most expensive nuts on the market, and one brazil nut gives you like 3 times as much selenium as you need (maybe not that much, but it's a lot)... so I don't think it is obsessive, especially for those who complain that eating healthy is expensive... well, if you ate 1 brazil nut a day, it could cost something like $12 or $15 bucks for the month... not a ridiculous amount of money to spend in the scheme of things... but, if you cut them in half, and find other ways to cut back... that can really add up to signifigant savings for those who eat all highly nourishing plant foods
OfftoShambala I agree. I was told by my Naturopath to eat one Brazil nut a day for the selenium to help with my thyroid function. I have hashimotos. So if that’s what she is doing it for that makes sense to me.
Now if it’s truly her “snack” it is a bit odd. Lol lol
@@kaydeecee8753 Yes, I have heard them referred to as natural selenium vitamins. She did mention that she was eating it to get selenium... and she did not want to go over on her selenium intake... selenium is harder to get from all plant mostly raw... and I have heard several raw vegan types say they eat one most every day just for the selenium.. I've also done some research on minerals and they need to be taken in certain amounts for various reasons... I don't quite understand it all... so there could be a good reason to not want to go over on her selenium as well
Hey Christine! I love going back to this series and rewatching this journey. Do you have the final update for how the year went?
12 years ago when I found out I was going to be a Nana for the first time,I knew I would be the primary caregiver for her I wanted to be able to keep up with her and enjoy every stage..I made a lifestyle change and stopped Gluten,sugar,soy,nuts,beans,dairy,meat FREE,the first two weeks I sweated so bad but I do drink over a gallon of water daily with lemon and limes,I write everything down,my skin cleared up,hair everything improved,my Dr.was amazed I cut my bad cholesterol in 1/2 I do walk daily and workout...I did green juice for over a year and drank the braggs apple cider vinegar but didn't see any change for the better for me everyone is different..my diet is of greens alllll the veggies,beyond meat,limited fruit..we all need to do what's best for us but I won't ever change my foods,it's not a diet,diets don't work,lifestyle changes do..glad your doing this..it will help so many who want to make a change
Started using that app - its wonderful!
Christina I am so excited that you are doing this. It has helped me in so many ways. I had horrible migraines s and on all kinds of meds. Raw food cleared all the issues I had. You will be amazed I hope. Will be following you all the way. By the way your smile is beautiful. All that hard work was worth it. You always looked beautiful but I know you had the Invisalign. This was such a great video.
Hello Christine, Happy to see all is well with you and Michael. I have always been a fan of your videos, especially those with succulents. So when I came across Healing through food, it got my attention. I've been feeling a shift in my life for some time now, with hormone fluctuations, skin issues, and hair lose. I'm going to try your challenge too. I might add I see a specialist for a thyroid problem coupled with an Autoimmune disorder. My doctor thought it would be a great fit. Although I'm not vegan, I'm willing to try a plant based diet to see if their will be any changes in my body. I do have blood work done, twice a year. so I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all your hard work, in educating yourself and others about healthy living alternatives. Keep up the good work. Tomorrow will be day one for me.... So I wish many blessings and peace to you both.
Thanks for sharing! You've inspired me to join your challenge. Started with groceries and ready to roll along side you!
Hi Christine, I'm on the FODMaP diet because of my pds. Maybe it is interesting to take a look at that diet because there are a lot of healthy food like vegetables and fruits
that I am not allowed to eat.
It works differently for everyone and you have to test for each product whether you are intolerant of it. I am convinced that I absolutely cannot tolerate avocado and that many vegetables have to be well cooked otherwise I will get constipation. For this diet I go to the dietician for help. Greetings from The Netherlands!
Thanks for sharing! I have a long way to go in weight (50lbs) and blood pressure and now cystic acne. Just doing some of this (green focus, juicing, going meatless for some meals) and learning to research food would do me wonders.
Although I don't think I could be this strict in my own life, I definitely want to add more whole plant meals into my diet. It's a lot of good information you share. And even though this may not be for everybody, as I can see from the comments, there is certainly much good information that we can take with us and bring into our own lives and make the healthy changes we need to make, that work for our lifestyles. I learn a lot from your videos and I appreciate the work and time you put into making them.
THAT DO TRULY LOOK ALSO YUMMY!!! 😋😁
I love your chanel,and the way you prezentet.You are the best.💗💓👍
Health is wealth..thanks for the video
Thank you soooo much for sharing about Cronmeter! I just entered in today's data....not looking so good for me. I thought I was a healthy eater...I am so unbalanced. I am so grateful to be able to see this because I'm beginning a new workout routine & I've been suffering from DOMS to the point where my entire body hurts...now I know why this has been happening. I'm missing so many vitamins & minerals in my diet....
I completely understand your new journey Christine and I recently went on the same one last year. If you really want to understand the body and what happening inside it and what food are really doing you should read Liver Recuse and Life Changing Foods by Anthony William aka Medical Medium. You may already know about him because you mentioned celery juice. You can also listen to his radio shows on soundcloud or iTunes. I think you will really enjoy learning about his information its very empowering to understand your body more and how to change your destiny with the knowledge he gives from spirit. I was not a believer in MM at first but I was like you and said Im going to be the test subject and see what happens. My body has healed from so many things and its made me a believer. Been following and watching you for some time now and I am so excited for your new journey. Many blessings to you. I am in your corner and cheering you on. xoxo Jan
Sorry I haven't quite finished so tonight I am watching Christine , sitting in my garden drinking a glass of ice cold rosé eating some lovely black olives and enjoying mon aperitif and I just hope that Christine has some happy times where are her friends ? Bon soirée à vous tous
I use Kale, Cucumber, Celery, Parsley, Ginger to my green drinks and Banana but I also add Lemon and Pineapple to make it taste good. And Pineapple has Bromelain in it to help with inflammation and sore muscles.
I save the ends of my veggies for veggie stock in a bag in the freezer! Composting is good too, but for things like celery, onions, carrots etc... you can throw them into stock!
Orthorexia is bullsh!+! The judgement in some of the comments here is gross...Work your own stuff out, people!
I respect Christine's educated approach (research, data analysis, etc..) towards all the content she puts on her channel. Would you call the author of a health book "obsessive" while they're researching their content?
It's been neat following Christine's health journey over the years...
And I've definitely learned a lot from her channel. I so appreciate her....
Christine, I know you're healthy enough to just allow other's criticism, judgment (charading as concern) to have no impact on you. ❤

Actually it’s a real phenomenon. I say phenomenon because the DSM-V, aka the master diagnostic book of psychiatry, doesn’t recognize yet as a disease. But there’s a lot of talk about putting it into the next version. It’s not bs, there’s actual research around it. It just isn’t recognized yet
@@ashleynl6731 Hi Ashley NL. I respect your opinion.
I'm very familiar with the DSM-5. And I'm not a big fan of it. There are world renowned psychiatric professionals that feel that the current western means for evaluating and diagnosing "psychiatric issues" are extremely outdated and ineffective (e.g., Dr. George K. Simon...[author of "In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People"] describes in several of his books/RUclips Interviews that the Freudian model in which much of our psychiatric education is still based on was derived from isolated and obscure theories. Dr. Gabor Mate' [author of "In the realm of hungry ghosts"] frequently states in his interviews that classically trained psychiatric professionals are ill equipped for understanding root causes of behaviors.
Orthorexia is not a phenomenon. The term orthorexia refers to a "thought process" regarding a 'healthy diet' (unobservable)...the observable behaviors that COULD derive from such thoughts are currently categorized under eating/obsessive/compulsive disorders.
I'm calling"Orthorexia" bullsh!+ for a couple of reasons: If someone is actually suffering (i.e., experiencing real/perceived negative consequences due to an eating or obsessive disorder) than the root cause is not in the "thought process regarding a "healthy diet"-- the root cause is somewhere in the CREATION of one's body image, obsessive habits, etc...
@@ashleynl6731 Another reason I have a problem with the term orthorexia is in the so called "Warning Signs and Symptoms" listed by the National Eating Disorders Association:
1. "Compulsive checking of ingredient lists and nutritional labels"
....[The key term in their "symptom" is 'Compulsive'. If you're doing anything compulsively, you MAY have a COMPULSIVE disorder. And I haven't met a nutritionist or "health expert" that didn't emphasize the importance of always checking food labels].
2. "An increase in concern about the health of ingredients"
.... [I question the person that doesn't have this concern. We are being bombarded with information about our tainted food supply (GMOs), the rise of ailments (like autism, diabetes, heart disease) & their links to food, and we're being told that due to our obesity epidemic-- children today may have shorter life spans than their parents.
I can formulate similar arguments to all the rest of their so-called symptoms!
Christine is a RUclips Content Creator....she makes money from the content that is viewed on her RUclips channel. (This is essentially a job for her). And viewers like me prefer to see well thought out, researched, and analyzed content.
Ashley NL so sad some people seem unconcerned about her. I have been following her for years and I can tell something is not right. Sugar coating everything is not the solution.
Look into boosting your gut microbiome with fermented foods and probiotics! The antibiotics you took for the 1 year would’ve took a toll on your beneficial bacteria and there are so many roles that beneficial bacterial have on our bodies - including healing our gut epithelium, our immune system, and our mental health.
Really dig the long video!
Were the beets raw that you used in the rainbow sushi wraps?
You have no idea how jealous I am of your 3-days periods. Mine last 12-14 days, and I usually get only a week in between them. The pain? Well, yeah, the doubling over and seeing white is pretty accurate. So is overflowing my diva cup for two days or so. Oh man, I've never, ever had a period only last three days! It sounds like a dream come true to me.
Otherwise -- I love seeing that you're doing well, and thank you for the app recommendation! It's a lot better than the one I was using. They both track calories, but the nutrients on this are so much better! I wish it was easier to see the nutrients on the app, but que sera sera!
I too have problems with grains. Digestive and skin problems.
Thank you for this serious. I just did cronometer for a little while too, due to health issues. I realized I was missing a lot of different things like selenium..
I thought I did vegan right. Cutting out a lot processed food now and trying to eat more raw. This inspired me to finally go for it as well. It's not obsessing it's learning about mother nature's food and healing yourself. Please keep going with these videos
