Great vid, love the benefits of fasting, the good wife and I just come off a five day fast last week. The western diet is now in my opinion, poison in a packet, processed crap everywhere, you guys are setting great example in good health and lifestyle choices, good work ❤
Ok, western diet might be a problem, which has crept in with a mental diet of unchecked propaganda. That doesn’t mean your fast fix is not more of the same on a different road.
Sadly, look at all the negative comments about this video. Most people just have no clue, and don't want to know.
@@mark2073you mean like Riley, who btw also did his HW, like many here?
@@Nill757 what is HW?
"The proper function of man is to live, not exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
- Jack London
The tricky thing about places like this is that its all based on real science, but just slightly pushed beyond the purview of those studies. Fasting, Sauna, Cold bath, nutrient dense drinks, etc. are all proven to be beneficial within certain circumstances and margins, but as with all things blowing them up or pushing them closer to extremes doesnt make them better. Moderation of exposure and extent are what gives access to their benefits while avoiding their harms. Phrases like 'lay on your side to go into your liver', 'parasite-sapper', 'drawing out toxins' are all red flags of taking these concepts beyond moderation and into a potentially harmful place. I agree with people that express concern of particularly vulnerable people getting the wrong impression of a retreat such as this. Side note, REGULAR enemas are proven to be very bad, and demolish the normal flora of the colon far more then they detoxify anything, normal flora is a critical component in homeostasis and is an intense area of study for Crohn's research.
That's a very knowledgeable comment, packed with VERY good advice. Very true, 'detoxing' in this way is rather ineffective taking everything into perspective, particularly when compared to just eating healthily and normally, as we are supposed to do.
Some folks just feel the need for dogmatic regimentation to ritualise their behaviour.
@@SeanHendy Thank you. Exactly you nailed the boilerplate statement of all health improvement. Just doing that alone is the largest improvement to positive health outcomes and long life. Everything else is in addition to that
I know when my ibs is at it's worse bone broth and less food can really help. But I'm always hungry which is opposite of most people with such issues lol
Those three phrases SPECIFICALLY were the ones where I was like NOPE.
@ 32:30 "... now I have to lay on my right side so it goes down and into my liver..." I'm not a doctor, but I don't think that's how the body works.
Yep, that reached a new height of absurdity.
This liver cleanse is a typical or normal liver cleanse. Fast or no meat for a few days to build up bile. Gussle down an extreme amount of oil, which forces the bile ducts to release the bile and push out any gall stones. What she should have said was the stomach empties to the right, to make it easier for the oil to quickly pass through to the Duodenum.
@@bradleedenney The liver cleanses on its own. That’s its main purpose. None of these “cleanses” that you have to pay for have ever been shown to do anything.
@@bdshortwhat is your medical degree in?
I'm gonna drink my coffee upside down so the coffee gets to my head ☕️😁
I'm really upset with the tumbnail and the message of the video. This tipe of content is not why I follow the channel.
I'm a nurse here in Brasil and I saw SO MANY wrong information in this video, enemas can be very dangerous and they DO NOT DETOX YOU, they only kill all the microorganisms that live in your intestines (and they do have a reason to be there).
So.... I do love this channel and all of it's content, but this video was a big no for me.
Elena said in a few videos that she is a nurse
@@anna_m59 appeal to authority. Next
@@moniamickyep, like I heard some doctors and nurses... Most of the loud voices are the one that goes for publicity and sometimes you do it by saying less popular things or shocking things that might be totally off. Quite a lot of these "authorities" in our online world who are using people with limited critical thinking.
I am an RN as well and I’m sad to say that your comment itself contains a ton of misinformation, clearly informed by Western medicine, which is in the spotlight and on the decline from a maintenance/preventative standpoint. Sad.
@@sailingtimshel what's the misinformation in her comment? And what studies can you show us that disprove enemas are bad?
Do you know what also naturally detoxifies your body? Your liver.
That's right, and it's very inter-dependent on the behaviour of the pancreas, kidneys, and gall bladder.
You know fasting resets your body and gives your cells a chance to regenerate ? When your body is so busy detoxing it’s self and digesting food, it doesn’t get much of a chance to function properly. You should actually research how fasting actually is a benefit rather than be ignorant and speak on things so confidently when you actually don’t know anything about it. It’s a shame that you’re an adult and too lazy to do research before you try to be negative. You have that know it all perception but you really don’t know much of anything at all.
The parasite zapper is almost certainly utter nonsense. if you were going to put any real current through your body, the LAST place you would put it is on each arm, which makes the path through your heart. Electricians often put one hand in their pocket when they don't need both when handing high voltage, just for that reason, especially if there are hard grounds close by.
I don't know about the clay either, other than as a GI absorber, but fasting does have real, demonstrated benefits, from what I've seen..
Its the scientology Machines. Kill me. 🎉
A balanced diet has more benefits.
There are many biofeedback/bioresonance devices used by clinicians across the globe. Clients are connected machine using both hands or wrists either by straps or rods. Feet and ankles are sometimes connected. Headbands also. The currents generated are not high enough to electrocute. The session cannot be compared to electrical work and electricians protecting themselves. I'm not sure about this machine however I was extremely ill years ago, and I sourced a much more complex machine than the one in this video. Over time, I became well.
@@komakinoooI thought it looked familiar. Total woowoo.
A balanced diet of actual food, yeah. Of preservatives and chemicals, not so much. The entire story includes exercise, reducing stress, avoiding toxins, and several others. There is no one magic pill, even all of it is not a magic pill, but a band aid. And a balanced diet that is not organic doesn't provide many vitamins and minerals that are needed.
And GMO corn, as one example, is actually classified as a pesticide, so there;s that. That is but the tiniest tip of the iceberg, I am aware. There are definitely regenerative benefits to ketosis, though, through several modalities and for several channels. @@ElgarL
What in the pseudoscience is this
Isn’t that AG1 drink you guys talk about all you need ?
The evidence is compelling that AG1 is a total utter gimmick.
@@bpersons14 BINGO............promoted by influencers who know zero about its actual scientific impact.
We tried ag1 and it made both my partner and I sick. We stopped taking it and felt better. Drs told us to leave the product alone and don't supplement without cause. Blood test revealed that we were not lacking in anything and under dr's advice were told not to even take multi vitamins.
Nope it's complete and utter BS. I know a couple people that advertise for them and won't touch it outside the ad.
I took it for around 6 months and started getting a ton of brain fog and upset stomach’s. I stopped taking it and within a week I felt back to normal.
after 3 weeks looking foreward to sailing, fishing, kids etc.. got this :-(
Yep, fallen prey to the endless mental health BS
I hope any young girls and boys watching this know that starving yourself is not the key to longevity and that deliberately triggering your body into a 'survival circuit' is not a safe or sustainable way to look after your health...
Yep, it's a really toxic for young girls to see this
(informed) water fasting is super good for you. fasting due to eating disorders is not good for you. theres a difference.
Another fad, just do the work everyday.
Fasting is also biblical ……
And fasting is not what people with eating disorders do.
@@JonasCraftUltimateelectrolyte fasting is even better 👌
Sorry to say, I think this is a really unhealthy thumbnail and message to women and girls. I thought more of this channel.
Get a life.
right she looks amazing...to more amazing?
I agree, was my immediate thought
Thanks Karen,.good to know 😂
Fasting is very beneficial to everyone except anorexics
Hey guys! Firstly, I’ve been a huge fan of the channel for many years! I started watching you before Lenny was born and I think I’ve watched almost every video since. Parasocial relationships are a bit weird when you think critically about it, but I do see you like my friends, and as someone who cares about you guys I feel compelled to comment (but again, what does one comment mean in the grand scheme of things?).
I just don’t think it’s good for a sailing channel which focuses a lot on science and you even have super cool animations to explain things and then have a video about something that at best isn’t proven to give you any benefits in the long term and at worst can seriously harm people. Also, if you are promoting AG1 constantly then you shouldn’t need to do a “detox”, it just doesn’t make sense. Additionally, please don’t say that “drinking clay” detoxifies the body when it’s literally your liver’s job to do that. If you needed “detoxing”, you’d be in liver failure and you’d be hospitalized. Same with kidneys, if they fail you’re getting admitted to hospital. If this was done for spiritual reasons, so be it, but don’t mask it as anything else. As many have commented, running an electrical current to “zap bugs”? It’s honestly mind boggling. Finally, because I think I’ve gotten my point across, daily enemas? For what? To speed up a process your body naturally does which is to get ride of undigested food after it absorbed all the nutrients it needs? I think I’ve said enough. Again, like I said in the beginning, you’re like friends to me, you inspired me to sign up for sailing lessons last summer, your videos always make me excited to see where you’re sailing and seeing the beautiful scenery and beaches you get to enjoy, but this isn’t it.
Edit: grammar correction
I afraid that this video was probably an effort to help pay for the new boat by using a new advertiser. I wonder how many millennials are making reservations to go to this place.
R&E should stick to making videos about the new boat and sailing.
Like someone else said, this should be on another channel.
@@divelasterlaster3946I was thinking the same.. and they also rent a villa long term in Bali.. need cash
There are some really good comments to this video. This is one of those comments. I really hope Elayna reads this.
@@divelasterlaster3946Bali is the hipster paradise for wealthy younger
Generation. At least for now..
I think the nature of this video shows that ag1 is more marketing hype and they didn't realise it's a shot in the foot.
As many people have pointed out, there's so much wrong with this that it's hard to know where to begin.
A silver lining is that we should really use this as an important example of why parasocial relationships can be problematic, as much as we may value certain aspects of what the long-time viewing of a channel could offer. Let's remember not to glorify the lives of people we only see snapshots of online.
Sorry guys, but I’m not sure this is the message you need to be promoting. Elana you are beautiful as you are, but it comes from the inside, not being stick thin. Love the travelling/ family / sailing blogs, but this one missed the mark. Stay healthy!
Agreed. They both seem to be extremely focused on their physical image…sexualizing Elana…it’s off putting….
Feeling good healty mind and body and Longevity is not a good message?
@@clarehamdorff5014 It's a channel that uses those images to gain views
Ohffs this generation has completely lost it
I dont think anything about image was mentioned. The emphasis was on emotional health.
You know it’s “woo woo” when the practitioner refers to it as an ✨experiment✨
i thouhgt, you can´t put people trough an experiment when you don´t call it that or sell it as a fasting retreat, sounds wrong to me somehow
Science is an ongoing experiment.
But "everyone experiences a vibration in their body" after.
Life we live is an experiment ❤
@@davidfrisken1617Dw That's just the heart palpitations and lack of food.
Honestly I found this video just dangerous. I believe in fasting for some of the reasons that Riley said but what is promoted in this video is just dangerous. It took me 5 minutes of searching the internet to find articles and posts that instantly debunk some of the things that are promoted in this video
I bet you did...the medical industry likes to cover their bases by keeping as many customers as possible. Did you know that Procter and Gamble paid the American Heart Association to say animal fats cause heart disease? Now we know that P&G's seed oil products were the culprits all along and it wasn't pandemic until animal fats were replaced with things like margarine and using seed oils to fry food.
As someone who is intimately familiar with body shaming and teenage eating disorders, I am truly saddened by the before and after approach to this video. I have been watching your channel for literally years. From the beginning. Admittedly less and less as the sailing content has been less and less. I have never felt the need to comment on your content until now. You are social media influencers and with that comes a responsibility. You need to understand the effect you have on our children. This AG, click-bate, look at our perfect bodies, is not the direction you should be taking your channel.
Well said
Very well said. This is dangerous nonsense. Do it if you want but don't get it free no doubt, by encouraging others. @@nateseltos1401
👏👏👏👏
I love your content, your open mindedness and the authenticity of your lifestyle. However, I do not think this kind of content is something to promote on a channel that reaches 2 million people.
I recognise that we are privileged to be able to live vicariously through your channel (for free non the less!) and that you are in charge of your own content and what you upload on your channel. I'm genuinely happy for you that you seemed to enjoy this experience, but I am questioning why you've chosen to upload this when you are aware of how triggering this may be to a huge portion of your subscribers - who are also your dedicated cheer-squad, online support community and customers.
There will always be an element of 'if you don't like it - don't watch it' to these discussions, and I have chosen not to watch this. However, I also believe that the creators we choose to follow and support (by using their links, signing up to their apps etc) have a responsibility to at least be cautious about what they share. As another commenter mentioned - even the thumbnail to this video seems highly triggering and body focused.
Again - I really enjoy your content and look forward to seeing you when you are back on the boat
I really agree with this and feel it is thoughtful and respectful. I also believe they should be making some effort to reply to people who express similar views in a respectful way.
I really feel like if people are sheep then they need herding...the rest of us adults don't need you "protecting us" from making up our own minds...
I am very intrigued by all the negative comments about fasting. The heakth benefits of this have been known for a very long time and are well understood scientifically. She is doing everyone a favour by furthering the message that the industrial food industry does not want people to understand.
@@mark2073 facts
i couldn't agree more
Ooof.
I’m here for the sailing so I didn’t watch the video but scrolling through the comments has been entertaining.
Imagine there has been quite the meeting with the “production crew”…..
The thumbnail of this video is the issue. I watched the whole video and appreciated the perspective but I think having a "before and after" type thumbnail when discussing fasting contradicts everything you said in the video about this being an internal journey. The message of the thumbnail implies you are doing this for aesthetic body changes and plays into toxic diet culture. I hope you change it to one of the beautiful and zen looking images of the retreat itself not just your body
You summed up my thoughts exactly. I was actually shocked when I paused over this thumbnail and realised it was a SLV video. At a glance I thought it was a random 19 year old tiktoker 😢 Usually Elayna is so on top of this stuff…
It's way more than the thumbnail. Search for the lengthy reply written by "danielwarren7110" in this comment section. He nailed it.
I think they have someone to do thumbnails for them and this maybe slipped their attention
fully agree on the thumbnail comment. hard not to think the goal is to become skinnier
stop being so bloody sensitive
First ep I've ever fast forwarded through. And I've watched them all.
Agree, back on the boat please.
“I need to lay on my right side for 30mins so it goes down into my liver” 😂🤣😂🤣🤦♂️
Pure bs, How can they not see this.The body doesn't work that way..
From a scientific perspective, enemas should be administered while the patient is lying on their left side since the rectal vault and sigmoid colon, from an anatomical perspective, turn to the left side. Laying on right side is a sure way to not instill any considerable volume nor absorb much of anything.
@@bpersons14 From a scientific perspective, are enemas administered through the mouth to make their way into the liver 🤦♂️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@bpersons14 From a scientific perspective, enemas are not administered orally 🤡
Never thought I'd say this, but I need to skip this video 😢
As a long-time viewer of your channel, I watched it for years, anxiously awaiting your quality content focused on sailing, sharing your observations on the world's many cultures as you experienced them first hand. I would venture that your viewers learned a great deal about our beautiful world vicariously through your first-class videos week by week. It now seems as though your channel has increasingly become a platform for health hacks (Better Help, AG 1, high-end detox centers, your personal exercise routines, etc., etc) and much less about sailing. We're all well aware that things and perspectives change in life, but the channel has veered way off course of late and would do well to get back to sailing and away from all the glam content.
While my comments may appear negative, that is not my intention. Rather, I wanted to share the opinion of someone who has watched you for years as your sailing skills grew along with your handsome family, but those same qualities that ran through your videos consistently, week after week have not been there for quite some time. In closing, I will apologize if either of takes offense, as I am hopeful that you might hear it as constructive criticism from an honest, long-time subscriber. My best wishes to both of you and the boys going forward.
Exactly!!!...
Doug, mate, their boat is broken! Boy do I know about that. Can we give 'em a break here? 😲
Dear SSG . . . I sure do understand and appreciate that . . . but there is much more to it than just an episode or two. This other focus has been building for some time . . . obviously, opinions vary, and I respect yours. In short, I miss what had been their almost exclusive focus on sailing, exploring new lands, free-diving, etc. I certainly wish the four of them all the best going forward.@@SailingSnowGum
Agreed! Missing what brought & then brought my wife as we watched together. Now we don't.
Really sad to see this. I didn’t know the new LVB could jump over sharks but here we are.
The thumbnail for this was really disappointing.
I couldnt think of anything worse than staying at a hotel with no food. This really is nonsense and for rich people who just want a break from their life and to endure some sort of personal suffering for self gratification purposes. Really dont want to write anything negative here as im a long time supporter. Riley seems to have the right approach, eat when it feels natural, not by routine and also looks to be testosterone optimised (TRT??) by the extra muscle on his frame, good for you if that is the case.
Testosterone optimized equals testicular shrinkage. You take extra testosterone your testicles quit making their natural testosterone and shrink in size. Please read all the scientific data. Has anyone here seen photos of Charles Bronson? He did not Have a boosted testosterone body and he was a fine looking man. I hope Riley is not taking testosterone but he is putting on muscle quickly this last year.
Riley has natural physique. Obviously not testesteone replacement therapy.
@@beverlyaslett7871 thanks for the misinformation Dr Karen, bollocks
this whole episode oddly reminds me of the movie "Sound of Freedom" especially the two running the facility.
The roster crowing in every single clip would drive me insane
As an MD i would love to have a little feedback on before/after blood analysis. I am dubious of the long-term effects but very sure of short term problems.
please stop with promoting pseudo "health tips", you are NOT a doctor, not a nutritionist and your experiences do not mirror the health or body of others!!
plus: engaging in a culture that is obsessed with their looks and the constant hustle of bettering ourselves. most people struggle enough with paying their rents, and their health in generel.
I really don't watch you guys for this kind of stuff. Intermittent fasting is good for you--this is not. I think it's irresponsible to recommend this kind of thing on the internet, and it really isn't what most people who watch you want to see. Just sayin'.
It seems they are running out of things to post. I know people change and grow but I much preferred them inwhen they were just beginning. Sometimes I think the more followers people get the less entertaining their videos are. But Lenny and Darwin are cuties!
Everything changed when they switched to doing ad-spots. Does anyone remember their content without having AG1 rammed down your throat? They were real, doing their own thing, and not trying to replicate the path of other RUclipsrs. The click-baity thumbnails to drive engagement, the scripted skits they do now, the endless chasing of growth - it ruined what made them one of the most organically chill channels on RUclips.
@@KenMcCann I don't mind that--they have to live! They can't make content for us for nothing. But this one is really off topic for their usual fare.
She’s posted a fast before. They film their life and this is part of it. Dont like it, move on.
I love you guys but
Yeah nah, looks like expensive snake oil, please stick to sailing videos
I agree.
Maybe expand your horizons and put some effort into educating yourself.

@@mark2073Sorry, as soon as people start making claims about detoxing, I know they’re full of crap. Your body has a liver and kidneys to do that - any company trying to sell you products to “detox” is full of it.
Miss the old Vagabonde, when the channel was about sailing adventures. Oh well 😔
yep. I hate to say it, but I turned off years ago, when the actual struggle/challenge/came to an end.
I come back every year or so to see if anything interesting is happening and today I came back and found this!
Riley, my heart goes out to you mate!
Parasite zapper sounds exactly like the E-meter they use in Scientology. I'm with Riley. The boys at AC/DC want to see you. Elayna, you look happier and healthier than the last time, which was after season 1.
Bingo
If you do a little research you will find Dr Clark was arrested for some con she was running (cant remember). Yes the E meter is a con and YES it also reminds me of the scientology CULT.
Yeah it sounds like complete quackery!
I had read an article which explained that many clinical trials are still only tested on men, notably because of the different hormone phases due to menstrual cycles (yes, still in 2024... 🙄) and that there are very few tests on fasting for women and that there are very few tests on fasting in women and that the tests done on women concluded that it wasn't at all adequate with our different phases of menstrual cycles and our hormone levels... it might be necessary to dig deeper to really know if this doctor's research was really done on women.
Hi from France 👋
I have been searching for a comment talking about gender bias in the research! What you shared aligns with my understanding as well. The research behind fasting has mostly been done on men because the male hormone cycle is 24 hours whereas female hormone cycles are, on average, 28 days, thus creating too many variables. I am waiting for more conclusive evidence to support fasting for women, and my guess is that it might be indicated for certain phases of the cycle and contraindicated in other phases.
The book 'Fast Like A Girl' is really interesting on this topic, as it applies fasting to the female cycle
@@lb282012 While perhaps interesting, the recommendations in that book are hardly evidence-based and certainly have never been put through clinical trials. That is not the type of research-based information I am looking for.
100% this. There is not enough or any research done on women regarding fasting and I have a feeling the book she is promoting is done on men. This video and topic is ver disappointing.
I work in clinical trials in the US. I have done infectious disease and oncology trials. At least here in the US we have to get close to 50/50 on gender to avoid this bias. So I can assure you here at least clinical trials are done on woman.
I don't know how I feel about some of that stuff but just the raw natural beauty of that place has got to be good for the soul!
Lol...the enemy of any computer is stray electrical charges...and here is Elayna holding her machine with a bunch of random electricity flowing thru her and the machine. 😆
I thought that too. Not a good idea to put the laptop on your body.
Well this inspires me to enjoy a pepperoni pizza, a bag of potato chips and a few cold beers.😊😊😊
Sorry, but i think putting this kind of stuff out is so irresponsible. Contact your doctors before copying this kind of stuff guys. It's not for everyone and you should do your own research before blindly listening to influencers online.
Edit: I'm more worried for young girls and women in general seeing this and expecting the same result. It's unrealistic and sets a really bad standard for female bodies.
They did put a disclaimer at the start of the video. Though it is rather hard to read
Harvard dr & researcher aka influencer?
lol, Fasting is not rocket science. Pretty established as beneficial.
Fasting and putting the body into ketosis is a highly studied and known benefit to anybody. It is well documented that it not only burns fat but repairs cells and can help ward off cancers. It gives great rewards to the body and also increases energy, makes sleep better and brain function increases as well. It's extremely beneficial. Everybody should fast or utilise the 18hr/6hr method - that's fast for 18hrs and eat over 6hrs. Generally 1 meal a day. There would be way less sickness in the world.
Oh but wait, that would affect big pharma and big sugar's profit so "noooo fasting bad". 🙄
@@dcsc1talk to me when you're a doctor. Ketosis isn't for everyone. Contact your doctors if you have health issues to determine if certain methods are okay or not for you. Also, I'm more icked with the fact that so many women and young girls can see this and expect they make the same progress when everyonexs body is different. It's unrealistic and toxic based on the thumbnail alone.
Eat healthy to reduce those nasty toxins, the body is built to handle them. Don't take unnecessary supplements without doing blood test first as this can also be dangerous. Rember whats bad for you today will be good tomorrow depending on who pays😊
Elayna has done this before. I’ve watched @SailingLaVagabonde for several years. The transformation that these guys have gone through is amazing.
First and foremost, work with medical professionals and listen to your body.
These two are tough as nails but they’re also taking care of their mental health. As someone diagnosed with bipolar I have appreciated when Elayna has talked about her struggles. I know she and Riley research everything to death so be nice please. It’s not for everyone and that’s ok. If the show isn’t for your kids then don’t let them watch. Easier said than done I know. I have 5 kids so I know so talk to them regularly about issues that concern you.
Enjoy the show😊
There is no such thing as a "detox". Calorie reduction/fasting, is just that. The problem with what we know about fasting is that the science of when and how, has contradictory data that is not understood as yet.
I don't understand what is meant by the word "spiritually". It seems what you really mean is psychology?
I know you guys got a lot of pushback for this because it has a lot of overlap with orthorexic and anorexic perspectives and it's worth to have that discussion and openly hear the community on thst stuff (I don't think people in excellent shape need detox retreats) but I'm also so supportive of you all generally. It might be worth putting on a second channel.
Love you all and are inspiring people but gotta be veryh careful talking fasting and detox when there's a lot of vulnerable women with ED that may watch the videos and act immediately on the fasting/ toxin removal / etc and end up hurting themselves because they are already very very thin
Your body removes toxins on its own. There is nothing anyone can grow/make/sell you that will remove "toxins" for it.
the thumbnail "for longevity!" lol 🤣
BY FAR!!!!!!THE WEIRDEST EPISODE YOU HAVE EVER DONE.. MY QUESTION IS WHY. PLEASE GET BACK TO SAILING ADVENTURES.
😮😮 true. I bet they lost a lot of subs too
I personally don’t like fasting due to the slippery slope of disordered eating but to each their own. Interesting to see the things people do none the less 😂
Fasting is a good tool but a bad master. The same way there is a thin line between eating well and consciously and obsessing about food.
yea very true! @@gedfi
I just purchased 20 kg of Bentonite clay yesterday from Bunnings to improve sandy soil in my garden. I don't think i would drink it with protein. I feel that your family already lives a very healthy and detoxified lifestyle and your really don't need and further detoxing. May be better suited to others who really need a shock treatment.
They are not fully in control of food sources as nomads. It's actually very difficult at times for them.
this video is so full of misinformation and Elayna is getting a bit strange, I love your sailing videos, but this one is really unwatchable.😮💨
Agree
I could not get to the either, shame I ve watched these guys for years.
Hey guys, been watching you from the start and been with you for all the journey! Really appreciate how much effort you both go to to research the stuff that you do even though it's not necessarily your field, it's obvious you care about not giving misinformation and showing us both sides of the story. Loved seeing Ubud in this episode it's such a beautiful place and it's cool to see how a detox retreat works. Love your stuff and can't wait for the next ep. :)
I have to say as much as I love you guys I suffer with anorexia and found even just this title really triggering and I know that’s a me problem and you’re absolutely doing it for your own reasons under research . I’m just sad I couldn’t watch this one in full. Will tune in when you are back on the boat
Amen I can’t watch at all.
Honestly it's not a you problem. They used this title and image to provoke people and get views. I find it really off putting and irresponsible. Sorry it made you feel this way, I hope you're doing well.
I’m so sorry you suffer with anorexia. We did put a ‘warning’ at the start of this video for those who suffer from eating disorders to not watch this one ❤
I hope you’re feeling okay x
I don't have an ED but even i hesitated clicking on it based title and thumbnail :/
Did you miss the WARNING in the beginning? I would imagine you deal with triggers regularly. What is a trigger to you is normal to someone else. Do you really expect someone to modify their life because it makes you feel a certain way? A stranger at that?
I can see from the comments so far that this video has got a wide spectrum of reactions. I’m not sure what I make of fasting and the other treatments shown. But I do appreciate that you made this video with good intentions and also a level of bravery to document and share something both highly personal and likely to elicit both positive and negative reactions. I think it was also good that you edited the video to show balance and different perspectives. So overall, well done, and keep being true to yourselves, I enjoy the wide variety of subject matter that you include on you channel.
Riley is wild. Thanks for committing to the bit.
I've been intermittent fasting for a while now. I haven't really lost much weight or anything in the process - which is to be expected since I haven't lowed my overall calorie intake - but eating in such a relatively small window of the day has actively resolved some chronic issues I used to have like heartburn. It also really helped balance my blood sugar levels so I far less often get tired during the day. I think I'd like to, at some point, try some more extensive fasting now that I'm aware of how I can handle it. Maybe not a week though...
also riley @the end about his 🏀🎾🥎 hanging out 🤣 classic!! LOL
Epic
A perfect balance of views. And I'm glad I didn't get a 1080p on 30" screen close up of that particular view.
I tuned out for a couple years but RUclips supplied suggested videos showing your new boat was about to be delivered and I wanted see it it perform. I'll back if and when the channel returns to sailing and visiting new lands.
My wife is a fully trained, up to date with the science, experienced nutritionist. I am a healthy 80 year old so she must know what she is doing. She avoids highly processed food as if it is poison. Her reaction to this - beware of expensive snake oil. I expect living on a boat full time can mess up your diet, but remedial action can act surprisingly quickly. Always ask your self, how did the cavemen survive without all the modern potions.
Cavemen didn't live that long; the potions, for better or worse, have extended our lifespan.
How did the cavemen survive? Not very well actually. LOL. Congrats on being a healthy 80 year old and good job orchid wife. I think said lovely wife will agree, you would not have made 80 as a caveman. 🙂 Not without AG1, at any rate. hehe.
I love the editing. And I love that this is more used for relaxation rather than some medical benefits, which there may be some, but the debunking from the 'parasite killer' makes me really apreciate the delivery of this video.
really appreciate you sharing that and Riley as the sceptic was brilliant! i did a similar fast in Thailand and reaped many benefits from it as well. congratulations, you look even more beautiful than before!
i do breakfasting sometimes, but i get bad headaches, mt great grandmother was 102 when she passed, she chewed tobacco, ate bacon, sausage eggs, beef, pork, chicken and had buckets of lard in her kitchen, biscuits n gravy etc. i believe in genes but also fasting sometimes cleans your system in a good way.
I’m honestly surprised at how nasty and disrespectful your replies have been to people who have genuine concerns about this video.
I used to look forward to the weekly videos as a get away from my crazy work week but will admit I rarely check them out these days. This just was not entertaining which is why I loved this channel so much. I learned so much about the places you visited and enjoyed seeing you guys grow with your family. I do not come here for advice on healthy eating or personal matters like my mental health. I would encourage you to stay in your lane and do what you do best.
I love the fun style you guys are adopting. Been following/watching your videos for quite a time and I want to congratulate the both of you for the better edition, excelent shots and how light and fun you have been making your videos recently (even when talking about hard times).
Lots of critical comments, what many people don’t understand is it’s getting to know your body and push your body. I don’t need it for weight loss but I do Keto because I love the way it makes me feel. Thanks for taking us on the journey.
I have had a great deal of pleasure from this family for years for which I am grateful but this kind of video and also the new boat, more about sporty racing speed than a family home, is changing how I feel. I do wonder if that boat was really what Elena would have chosen and why she is in need of so much therepy. I miss the old days on the comfortable family catamaran, sailing the world with proper space and accommodation for the children and crew.
Glad Elayna enjoyed and benefited from her fast and cleanse; Glad to have Riley's investigative perspective (skeptical in a good way) looking at things. Such a clever and funny way to present the alternative viewpoint, and keeping things down-to-earth and real.
I know nothing about fasting and even less about detoxing. It’s just not something I’m personally in to. But I don’t feel hurt that it’s something Elayna is genuinely interested in. Live and let live. Elayna and Riley are smart people and they knew this video would cause some controversy. In anticipation of the criticism they did a disclaimer in the intro and used Riley to get ahead of the criticism and point out that this all might be junk science - in a clever whimsical way (my favorite part of the video!). Although I doubt Riley is much into all this, I would bet that he would be the first to say: criticism be damned and let’s make the video. Of course a little controversy can be a good thing that drives views and comments. There will be plenty of strictly sailing videos to come. And if on occasion they do something outside that box - you can simply skip that video. I doubt it was intended as a personal affront. A little leeway to allow them to be something other than one dimensional may contribute to the longevity of the channel.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think Riley played the perfect devils advocate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 9:49
First video in a long time that's been a total skip for me. Glad Riley was there to provide some actual science but this was a disappointing one.
Elayna - thank you for another brilliant video. Loved the format, in depth discussion about different schools of thought and admire your positivity through what was no doubt still very challenging despite the support!
People are triggered because they can't comprehend the discipline it takes to do something like this. I mean for goodness sakes, it's a week of life. It's your body, your experiment - to echo Paul thank you too for being a great example of taking the time to care for your health. We are all sovereign people (mostly adults) who are capable of discerning whether this is also something to try without the need for judgement. Love to you and your family
Nice to see the family off the boat and tending to health,well being both physically and mentally! Good on ya.
This is not something that should be put out on a channel with almost 2 million subscribers. There are way to many young people, maybe even kids that watch this. Not the influence you wanna put out into the world.
No problem doing it to yourself but not broadcasting it to the world with misleading thumbnails and titles.
At how many subscribers would it be ok to talk about fasting??? The media talks about it, the biggest pod sasts in the world talk about it, I'm not sure why you would want to hold us to higher scrutiny.
@@SailingLaVagabondethe thumbnail is gross. change it you might get less negativity
“The media talks about it”? I am a huge channel fan but I am also a health care professional and I am with the majority of commenters here. This was not okay, for several reasons but number one is the lack of solid data to support the positive benefits to such an extreme fast/enemas, and number two, the probable outcome of persons trying to do something this extreme on their own, possibly causing great harm. Read the room. Take down the video and go back to regularly scheduled programming; sailing the beautiful world with your beautiful family.
@@SailingLaVagabonde How about subscribers start unsubscribing? I’m guessing you lost some this week and will lose more in the near future. Just like a tv show that gets cancelled. By the way, maybe try worrying about your kids snotty noses a little more .
You are missing everyones point Riley , please put ego aside and listen to your viewers because without them you would not be going to these pricey retreats . We watch for the sailing not Elaynas personal journey . Maybe have another channel for that @@SailingLaVagabonde
The amount of time and energy ppl spend on things they don’t like or think is “wrong” says enough.
Beautiful video as always. Thank you for sharing your journey and all the facets of your beings. 💗
I love this video, the different perspectives shared with the audience is top tier. Iv always wanted to do fasting, but you’ve made me understand proper supervision is a great idea aswell as proper drinks and not just broth will cut it!
Thank you for the education 😊
Hey Elayna, I'm glad you had a good time at the fasting place.
I'm 67, living life to the full, including the ups and downs. Personally, I don't really go for the therapy thing, I find it impossible to take seriously. But, I do find it interesting to follow others who give it a go. Bestest to you & family.
What a nonsense episode 🙄 first time I quit half way through.
I will start watching again when this channel becomes a sailing channel again.
I've been ADF since January and I adapt as I need but it made an immediate change in my body mind etc. Sad to see so much hate for you all sharing your life. Thank you for that.
When I saw the thumbnail and title for this video I was more confused than anything else. Somewhere along the way I feel like you guys kinda lost your “magic”. I will not attack this video in particular but speak to more of a generalized feeling. Every RUclips channel has their “main” type of content and I think branching out and trying new things is good for your own mental health but also growth. That being said, since you guys announced your new boat I feel like all of your content has pivoted to a “look at us” type of vibe instead of “we’re just two regular people living on a boat”. Every once in a while you give us a nice long sailing video showing us the “raw” side of living in the water and everyone says it’s their favorite in a long time but then it’s followed up with something like this. You guys used to be one of my favorite channels because you didn’t pander to the algorithm or ads and seemed so genuine. Now the main vibes I get from your videos are “look at all this cool stuff we do or believe in and it’s way better than anything you peasants watching at home could do” I guess it boils down to, you guys used to be so genuine and down to earth and along the way I personally feel like you’ve lost your soul, you forgot what made your channel so great and have been wrapped up in this idea of “everything we do is correct, we know better than you and if you aren’t doing things like us you’re doing them wrong”
They believe their own hype
I am really curious. How is the bug zapper different from a TENS unit or a muscle stimulator? Strong electrical pulse from a 9v battery on both. I have used a TENS and muscle stim for years and years, and I think the no crossing of wires is something out of ghostbusters, not a real thing. LOL. It REALLY sounds phony. Sorry.
Riley at the very end hahahahahahahahahaha, Bringing us all back down to Earth man hahahahahaaha
I love fasting, personally combine intermittent fasting with a keto diet.. have touched 36h fasts but whew, respect for lasting a week!
Such divided reactions on this video. I can only hope everyone does their own research and checks in with what feels good for them, and I reckon we should all be good and happy people 🙏🏽 not sure if I would undertake all activities in this video personally, but i was very intrigued to learn about new practices, thank you for showing us. And congrats on lasting through that fast!
Thank you so much for the disclaimers the beginning! I'm fully healed from disordered eating in my past so having you guys think about us in any way in the beginning means the world! ❤
I raised my eyebrow at the "parasite zapper" and just as I did that *poof* Riley appeared hahaha, actually laughed out loud. I really enjoyed this video guys, a perfect balance of "woo woo", delivered in your usual down-to-earth humour and wittiness, 10/10! 👏
You're Voice is sooo beautiful luve when you sing!!!
Thanks for sharing this video!! I've been watching you guys for a few years, a little off subject, but it's perfect for different mental health/health issues to work with us all
Lol. I was about 10 minutes in Riley oh my gosh
I’m also a busy mom of two who has suffered from burnout and you’ve inspired me to look into a healing retreat. Not necessarily fasting but yoga and clean eating.
I don’t personally believe in the woo woo, but I think it’s so interesting. I appreciate you sharing your feelings. I love learning along with you and others. This is something I’ll never experience, in a place I most likely will never go and it’s wonderful getting a glimpse through your beautiful videos. Thank you.
Leave this ego rubbish off the channel. It a major put off. Its not your field of practise ( professionally) and you shouldnt attempt to pretend you know what your talking about which is why you needed the 2 disclaimers. Someone who is qualified to discuss or publish this is under a professional code of conduct etc ( for a reason). This industry is unregulated and a risk to the consumer
I focused in on how irresponsible to leave the retreat, spend time with your family who were ill, coughing etc, and return to the retreat. That I just did not understand at all. You knew they were sick, why not just stay at the retreat instead of risking taking some kind of bug back to the people at the retreat? I've followed you for years, and just loved it when you guys were much more down to earth.
Anyone calling themselves a 'healer' is a massive narcessist. Even doctors don't go around calling themselves that. I avoid all woo woo people at all costs and I say that as someone who loves to fast.
Hay I just remembered this is like that special screw that can disable a whole boat.😮
I don’t know if I can get behind this 😂 I’m the type of person to be collapsed on the floor if I don’t have enough food. I also can’t support the message this may translate to young people, it’s just toxic.
Well, that's why there are detox shakes, duh! ;)
Fasting is, indeed, beneficial. Enemas can be problematic however, unless great care is taken to prevent electrolyte depletion. As for the electrical stimulation to kill parasites-it’s an entirely ineffective activity. All in all, I’m glad you were rejuvenated by this. It was a beautiful video.
I was so in tune with this video. ♥️ Okay, this might not work for everyone, but to each their own. I loved seeing what a retreat would entail. Would love to do one someday! Don’t worry about all the negative comments. Don’t pander or you’ll burn out again. Love content like this. Although I wasn’t ready for the devils advocate! 😂
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
I love that and love Reilly's balanced contributions.
Losing weight is all diet. Exercise while dieting is ideal but will also make you much more hungry. Exercise will help you retain muscle during a diet and can actually make you think you aren’t losing weight because you’re building muscle at the same time. People get discouraged when they workout and diet and don’t “see results” on a scale. Personally I did a 10 month taco diet where I was only eating about 1000-1200 calories a day. I lost 50 pounds in that time and reversed my slow weight gain over a 10 year period. To lose 10 years of weight gain in the shortest amount of time possible was my goal and I did it in less than a year. I felt so much better during and after since. It also made me excited about food again and things taste so much better now. I eat cleaner, don’t need to eat as much, can skip a meal and not feel terrible. Life is just better now. I sleep better, my body doesn’t have inflammation everywhere like it did when I was overweight. I think most people would find that a better diet would help them. I’ve naturally fasted my entire life because I don’t eat breakfast. I’m never hungry in the morning. So that helps me but everyone is different.
Congratulations on your new found health 🎉
Good for you Antwon. You've changed your life and your future. But what is a taco diet?
@@SailingSnowGum I explained it in my post above haha. I only ate tacos and specifically 3 a day
I thought this channel was about sailing la vagabonde. Take it from someone who has lived a long time. There is nothing in this world that increases longevity except for clean living. Fruits and veggies, exercise, emotional health, no drinking or drugs. When it’s your time, it’s your time, no matter how many detoxes you have done.
Riley, you are too entertaining. Love the light spin you manage to put on a serious theme.
I think it’s your choice to do and believe this. I don’t think it’s responsible to promote it. There is an explanation to how you said you were feeling “open” etc. You seemed out of it this whole video, for good reason. I love your channel usually but as someone who has permanently damaged their heart muscle by “fasting” I don’t think it’s ok to make it look beautiful for everyone who idealizes you.
I (and others I'm sure) would like to know more about how your heart muscle was damaged by fasting. Your story could be helpful. Thanks.
They must have been well paid to promote that place
the bug zapper - reminds me of the mania years ago of microcurrent used in Physical therapy treatment(Iam a retiree in the field)
- which supposedly is to help cell walls and reduce pain- but studies were very scarce of any benefit.once you turn it on- you may feel nothing or a very slight vibration-I heard from patient report- I never felt anything.
You guys already figured out that your creative sweet-spot are the long-form relaxed movies, documenting a day sailing or tackling a project. You’ve acknowledged that you need to do more of those in your videos and comments. So what on Earth is this nonsense?
I found this episode very interesting! I’m working on my health rn after having my son and getting severe preeclampsia my health has plummeted drastically and I have a lot to research for myself now so thank you!
My mom had preeclampsia 3 times and is now struggling with many rare diseases related to the damage the preeclampsia did to her body. Please take care of yourself.
Hi Carli. Congratulations on the birth of your son. That's wonderful. Now, you need to be in good shape, so just in case you haven't done this already, please take yourself in to see a good, family doctor and build up a trusting relationship. This is important for your whole family. All the best.
