Stress is a major factor in disease.A lot of people don't realize that stress doesn't just mean anger or fears it can also be having a strong annoyance toward somebody.
I needed to see this comment. Thank youu so much 💗!
@@Dee_Dee794 🙏
She is absolutely right. My skin is starting to clear out well after cutty out dairy, meat and processed foods, junk foods etc.. I eat more raw fruits and vegetables, drink more water, exercise more (because toddlers) and get enough rest. Spots starting to fade too🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
So happy for you hon! 😊
It always works for everyone everywhere 🎉
This was EXTREMELY helpful to me! I’m 60 and have had acne since I was 12! I’m ready for this thank you thank you!
Oooh honey I felt that. THIS IS YOUR SEASON. Walk in it!! I’m ready with you!!! ❤️
Hey has it help
I’m right behind you (54) How is it going?
Thank you for this video. Wonderful presentation! Thank you for emphasizing that our value comes from our identity in Jesus, not from externals. It's important for us as women to be reminded of this. God bless you, your family, and your ministry. 💜
Amen Susan 🙏🏽💜
Sis, your vulnerability draws me in and makes a whole foods plant-based diet seem so cool,relatable ,and most importantly attainable.. Thanks for the work you're doing to transform lives.
Thank you honey! Thank you for being here and I’m so glad to know you were blessed through this. Cheering you on friend! You can truly do this!! ❤️🙏🏽😊
I’m 34 and am a holistic health practitioner who had baaaad acne for years. I feel this is the most helpful video for skin care I’ve seen for people to prevent acne.
So grateful you found value in this vid, Leah!!! ❤️
You are an astonishingly bright light to me. I just found your channel today during a time when my health has never been worse. I feel God guiding me towards WFPB. You are an inspiration to me as a Christian sister.
So glad we connected, Emily!! 💜 I pray that your health soars and that you find this journey to be rewarding in every way. You can do this sis, and you have the power of God behind you. I’m cheering you on, and thank you for your kind words 😊
You and the singer Ciara have the same speaking voice. ❤ Thanks for the tips!!
Thank you so much for sharing this information
Great video. She alludes to what the real problem is at different points at about 9, 15 and 21 minutes in. And she didn't do just one thing; she did a combination of things, each building on the other in synergistic fashion. We often look for that one thing that will make our problem(s) go away. She just proved that there is no magic bullet through her personal testimony.
Nonetheless, great video. Please keep 'em coming!
In 1986 I had a bout of eczema that discolored both cheeks. It looked like I had black contour on my cheeks. I have never been able to get rid of it. I had been vegetarian for 2 years but in January I decided to bite the bullet and go vegan. So yesterday I was watching this video and unconsciously touched my cheek. It felt different, I went to look in the bathroom mirror. Both my cheeks are clear!! It took 38 years but it is finally gone!!
This is beautiful 🥹 I am so happy for you!!!
Love this video, thanks for doing this!! ❤ Can’t wait for the live video!
Thanks, Winter! See you on Sunday!!

Melissa! Thank you so much for blessing us with your knowledge, compassion, and authenticity. Your video made me cry because I have so much work to do on the outside, but also on the inside. Thank you. We appreciate you. P.S. Please tell us where you got your track suit. That green is stunning on you.
Hey there zippyspring! Thank you, and thanks for being here. The track suit is from Target btw. And remember, you are already beautiful inside and out 😊💜🙏🏽 I love you!
Thank you, I am hopeful...
I’m hopeful with you, Janet 💜
Sis, thank you for sharing your story my daughters are going through acne and as a mama I want to do everything I can to help. I see their beauty and now I can try the holistic approach. Thank you so much, your videos are changing our lives. Can’t wait for you LIVE on how you grew hair video. May the Lord continue to bless your steps🙏🏾
This touched me so much Ivy! I know what your daughters are going through! They will heal in Jesus name 🙏🏽💜
Hey has it help your daughters 😕
I think it has it's we definitely are seeing the benefits. Her breakouts have calmed down. Less inflammation and she's taking collagen “ Spolichild”. It's going to take time bit I believe she is on the right path.
@@ivysampson800 I’m so happy for her I’m also a 15 I’m tried everything and I’m now starting there vegan diet :)
White willow bark is good for deep pimples. Thank you and appreciate this information have passed along for others struggling with some of these isssue.
Thank you @Harvest Knight 💜
Amen my sister, God is faithful!
Oh yes He is ❤️
Ohhh. 😊this is so good! Very, very helpful. I definitely know what I need to focus on now. Thank you! ❤
Orelia so thankful this was helpful! Wishing you the very best of healing on your journey honey ❤️
@@ChoosingMyHealthYes, it truly is! Your message is very powerful. Awwww .. thank you. ❤
Great video!! I too am on this journey. I cut back on a lot of processed vegan goods and trying to get more raw and or Whole Foods plant based. It’s a struggle right now but I try to do some juice cleansing when I can. I trust that soon by God’s grace I can fully transition into it being only Whole Foods plant based and raw mostly 🙏🏾💚.
And yes same. My skin too sensitive to use any of those crazy cleansers and systems out there. I just use gentle soaps like Castile soap or sometimes the black soap or honey based soap. I’m also reintroducing oil cleansing again. What I need to find is a good follow up moisturizer that my skin truly likes and actually adds moisture to the skin. Looking forward to you sharing more of your journey!
Sis I can totally relate! I firmly believe little is much when God is in it. He’ll multiply and honor your efforts. Also, I have found success with applying aloe Vera gel to my face, with a light dab of castor oil to seal in moisture. Patch test first to see how it agrees with you. Thank you for riding with me on this journey sis 💜🙏🏽
Thanks for this very informative video. I so wish that I had this advice for my chronically cystic acne-prone skin throughout my teens, 20s & 30s. Like you, I’m still struggling to clear the pox marks (pits) on my skin. What do you use?
Thank you so much woman of God. I am so thankful God lead me here. Look for to doing a juice cleanse for 3 days starting Monday ❤.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, woman of God! I pray you’re reaping the fruits of your harvest! ❤️
This was a great video Queen. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It was very helpful. God 🙌🏽 🙏🏽
So glad it was helpful hon! God bless you!! 💜
@@ChoosingMyHealth Been Vegan since March of 2019. But I too experienced health challenges & imbalances in my past. And to me your video was confirmation on how I need to go back to the basics of juicing more & less processed. When you are on the go it is quick to grab that so called processed plant based snack or meal. But I noticed my skin has been off the charts lately with break outs; which I normally don't experience often but this has been pretty consistent lately. So I'm going to do a detox, reset and chill out/stay away from the processed side of things for a bit. I know better... 😊
Awesome, Video, you look, Beautiful, love, Diana Lipski 😍 A 11 years Vegan and I love this Loving Lifestyle ❤️
Thank you so much Diana!!
God wanted me to find your channel. You are amazing!!
Praise God! I pray this channel is a blessing to you ☺️
Thank you so much. You're shine. Because the Spirit of God is leading you journey. You're helping others.❤
Thank you hun! May God bless you greatly 🙏🏽
Thank you dear for such valuable information and support. God bless you. ❤
God bless you too dear ❤️
Darn this is good too but hoping it was the hair video i have been waiting for lol
lol! That one’s coming on Sunday 8p EST honey! It’s gonna be a live! You coming?
Excellent, informative and relatable.
Thank so much Lenroy-and for being here 😊
@@ChoosingMyHealth No probs.
Well done on your video may god bless you
God bless you!
Great video! Thanks for continuing to share the benefits of a WFPB diet. Someone mentioned that you were on Chef AJ. I'd love to see the interview! Can you share the link?
Thank you Stacye! Yes-here it is! We had lots of fun! ruclips.net/user/liveqv0WkK_mMyo?si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE 💜
@@ChoosingMyHealth Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely check it out. Keep up the great work. I look forward to watching the upcoming video on hair. Yours is beautiful!
Thank you, Stacye 🙏🏽
See you on Sunday!!
Thank you so much for this video!! I am taking all the notes!! I had a question about the juice cleanse though. I don’t have a juicer but I have a blender. Could I do smoothie cleanse instead for the same results?
Hi Ariel! Both are amazing. One will give you a higher nutrient concentration (juicing) because it removes the fiber. The second retains the fiber (which also has benefits), so you'll have to drink more to get the same concentration of nutrients as the juice. Both are good options. It really depends on your needs and what you are able to do.
I use my nutriabullet and strain it. I get plenty of juice.
I just made some of these changes after my papsmear they found fibroids. Please pray for me guys but I’m positive and motivated
Just prayed for you 💜
I don’t have acne but need to use some skin products
This video is so useful. I have been researching a lot about healing my acne from inside out. My acne is both digestive and hormonal. As opposed to everyone, im underweight since my childhood. Now im 24. And to gain weight I've been hitting gym and eating lots of protein which made me take 3 glasses of milk daily..and oh my god my acne flared up so bad. And also i was having constipation issues because of that. After some research i got to know it could be because of dairy. And not taking dairy for just 2 days makes me see a visible change in my skin but its just SO hard. Cause even if i take a smoothie/milkshake once a week, im getting breakouts. It makes me wonder why i was not this allergic to dairy since my childhood but suddenly this happened?! I wanna gain weight and also clear up my acne but im struggling a lot on that rn. Hope i find a way to balance this out soon! ♥️
I hope you find some good recipes on my channel to help you with your transition. It’s totally possible to heal 100%! I’m proud of you for moving forward and being open to dairy free living. It will help tremendously.
Maybe try almond milk or other types of milk that doesn’t have dairy in it.
Thanks to you for this video!
I have been a vegetarian for about 3 years, I had a severe acne. I used to consume dairy a lot.
Then I decided to go wfpb (vegan). And after I cut out dairy acne became better.
You’re welcome! So happy your acne has improved 🙏🏽
What is your take on lectins? I’m seeing a lot of videos encouraging staying away from beans, almonds, and other vegetables due to high lectin content causing leaky gut and other things. Now I’m really confused about what to eat. Please help. I trust you’re information
Hey Mary Mac! Check this out: newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-what-are-dietary-lectins-and-should-you-avoid-eating-them/
Thank you , that was helpful@@ChoosingMyHealth
amazing video
Glad it was useful 😊
My skin was like this a while ago
Hope it’s better!
yes i don't even get ingrown hairs anymore
what are some of the supplements that you take as a wfpb vegan? i need guidance 😭
Some of the WFPB folks I follow on RUclips recommend the Complement brand. I will probably switch to it instead of taking individual supplements that I do today.
Thank you for this! I’m still struggling despite the fact I’ve been vegan. Not going to lie, I eat some processed food sometimes including the processed meat. It’s tough to break old habits 🥲 . Do you recommend organic foods? And do you limit your fruit intake? I tried going raw last year and I broke out extensively. Any suggestions? 🙏🏽
I understand Suinda! Do the best you can honey. Baby steps. Organic is great if you can afford it. Locally grown can sometimes be even cleaner and cheaper. Check out Farmers Markets. Whatever it is, just do the best you can with what you have. I don’t limit my fruit, and I do the best I can to just have a balanced diet with food from all plant based categories: fruit, veggies, whole grains, tubers, legumes, nuts and seeds 💜🤗
@@ChoosingMyHealth thank you my love!!! 🙏🏽 🫶🏽
This video is amazing I declare my skin completely clear and my entire body in perfect health in Jesus name and I will be eating a raw vegan diet from now on hallelujah
In Jesus name, amen 🙏🏽
After much thought I really think we need a what I eat in a day from you lol PLEASE! As I mentioned in other comments I’m newly vegan… I’m trying to stay WFPB but the fake meat is wanting me lol
Hey there hon! I've added it to my list to make more of these. I do have one I released when I was last pregnant, but the food ideas are still solid. lol. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/7Qzqod9y8uA/видео.html
@@ChoosingMyHealth thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'll be picking up a juice after this workout!
I want to recommend a skincare line to you. I highly recommend using Skincare x Dr V -Trio Blemish Complete Range, then purchase her Facial Pigmentation Kit. She made a line of products for women of skin of color THAT WORKS. She's in the UK and I'm seeing noticable results from using it for 3 weeks. Please watch a few of her videos on her RUclips channel first to get to know her. She talks skincare for women of color so passionately. She is heaven sent! 💌
Awesome! I’ll have to check that out! Appreciate ya 😊
I gave up fruit and my acne and eczema disappeared.
How long did you juice for?
Hi KC! 3-4 juice and about 21 days mostly raw food with juice.
Can the raw vegan diet heal cysts on your face and legs?
There are many beneficial effects of the plant-based diet on skin health and inflammatory skin deseases. I believe it could greatly help 💜
How long did you juice for before you went raw
Hey! I juiced and went high raw for a while kinda in tandem. Still do lots of raw today along with a whole food plant based lifestyle.
@@ChoosingMyHealth okay thank you 💕
Another healthy black woman making a difference awesome baby with a capital A
